Bach was distinctly more famous as an organist than a composer during his lifetime. At age eighteen he went to Arnstadt to take up the position of organist at St Boniface from where he made his 200-mile trek to hear Buxtehude play. France’s great organ tradition dates back to Titelouze in the early 1600s, progressing from polyphony to the ornamented style for which Couperin was renowned. César Frank later inspired a new generation of stars, teaching Vierne (Notre Dame’s almost blind organist for 37 years) and inspiring Boëllmann. The hugely virtuosic Dupré studied under both Widor and Vierne then in turn taught Jehan who was playing professionally at St Germain-en-Laye by the age of eleven.
