The scion of a musical family, French organist and composer Marcel Dupré (1886-1971) began his career early, with a professional appointment as a church organist at the age of 12. His compositions are characterized by a highly individual style, and their ongoing popularity assures the success of this new compilation. Assembled by noted organ scholar and performer Rollin Smith, contents include Elévation, Op. 2; Three Preludes and Fugues, Op. 7; Scherzo, Op. 16; and Les vêpres du Commun des Fêtes de la Sainte Vierge, Op. 18.
