This is Volume 1 in what will be the complete organ works of Charles-Marie Widor (1844-1937). In this series, five magnificent Aeolian-Skinner and E.M. Skinner instruments render Widor symphonies and other works with an "American Classic" accent. Joby Bell clearly loves these works, and proves to be an ideal performer for them. Organist Joby Bell brings to his performances a contagious affability and a keen sensitivity toward increasing an audience's appreciation for organ music. His recital programming demonstrates a varied and interesting repertoire, always enhanced by illuminating program notes designed to embrace all audiences. His acclaimed blog deals with a comprehensive range of organ-related topics including teaching philosophies, recital preparation, church music, and professional concerns.
