Toccatas - Maurice Clerc
Maurice Clerc demonstrates his prowess on the organ at the Cathédrale Saint-Bénigne in Dijon, where he has been 'organist titulaire' since 1972. Here, Clerc showcases his ability by playing four centuries of toccatas, (which are written for that purpose), including two of the most recognizable organ works ever written, by Bach and Widor.
