Ensemble Vocal Sequenza 9.3 & Marie-Claire Alain – Jehan Alain Rediscovered (2005) MCH SACD ISO + Hi-Res FLAC

Jehan Ariste Alain (3 February 1911 – 20 June 1940) was a French organist and composer. He wrote choral music, including a Requiem mass, chamber music, songs and three volumes of piano music. But it is his organ music for which he is best known. Jehan Alain was not only an organ composer, as his vocal works, chamber music and piano compositions show, but it remains true that he dedicated to this instrument the most essential elements of his genius. This is not surprising when we remember the origins of the composer and the context in which he came to music.
Marie-Claire Alain (10 August 1926 – 26 February 2013) was a French organist and organ teacher best known for her prolific recording career. She have won the 2nd prize for organ at the Geneva International Music Competition in 1950.
