Noted organist and scholar Anthony Hammond tells the full story, for the first time, of one of the great organists of the twentieth century.Described by his teacher Marcel Dupr as 'a phenomenon without equal in the history of the contemporary organ,' Pierre Cochereau is considered one of the twentieth century's greatest French organists.This book tells, for the firsttime, the full story of of his extraordinary life and glittering, worldwide career.In 1955 Cochereau was appointed Organiste Titulaire at NotreDame de Paris, where he restored the cathedral's musical glory and oversawa farreaching and controversial transformation of its organ.As a recitalist, he toured South America, Australia, Asia, Canada, and Europe in addition to twentyfive tours of the United States. He was the first western organist to perform in the former Soviet Union., played with many major orchestras under the batons of distinguished conductors, participated in numerous music festivals in Europe, made over eighty recordings, and was one of the founders of the Chartres International Organ Competition. He was honored several times for his achievements, including being named an Officer of the Legion of Honor (1978).A tireless campaigner for standards in music education, Cochereau also served as director at many of France's prominent conservatories, including Le Mans, Lyons, and Nice, which under his directorhsip became one of the leading music schools in France.Biographer AnthonyHammond draws from a variety of of prominent primary sources, notably Marcel Dupr's papers in the Bibliothque Nationale, Paris, but also from Cochereau's surviving family and friends, and uses recordings and previously overlooked archive films in the Institut National de l'Audiovisuel, France to construct this definitive account and critical appraisal of one of France's most distinguished organists.Anthony Hammond is an English concert organist, improviser, and musicologist who specializes in French Romantic and twentiethcentury organ music.
