The major work on this recording is a substantial composition, and justly representative of late French organ writing. The performance is altogether first-rate, and the work is gripping from the first bars. The 14 Stations of the Cross were bound to attract the interest of great organist-composers, and Dupre's composition is an excellent example of a thematic program lending interpretive guidance to a piece of music.
