I.    Jean and Marie-Louise Langlais:

Lectures and Performances

This DVD features Jean Langlais playing, talking, and improvising on the   organ in his apartment in Paris and on the organ at the Schola Cantorum.  In addition,  Marie-Louise Langlais gives lectures on the major French organ composers. Filmed in 1989, Langlais was 82 years old and had had a stroke, but his mind was not affected, and his playing and teaching, with Marie-Louise Langlais’ help, is still remarkable.  He is seen on the video playing  parts of the  Pastorale, Final, and Pièce Héroíque by Franck.  Also included is a performance by Yves Castagnet playing the Duruflé Prelude and Fugue on the Name of ALAIN. $22.00
