Organist and composer Marcel Dupré turns his attention to the music of Bach on this first volume of his five-album Saint-Sulpice series, produced under the Mercury Living Presence banner and recorded in Paris over a nine day period in July 1959. Requiring shipment of an equipment-filled truck from the US, sessions began at about 9 p.m. each evening and lasted into the early hours, a tiring experience for the 73 year old Dupré, whose hands progressively stiffened on the heavy key action of the great St. Sulpice organ. The series proved to be a massive success when first released and these albums have remained popular for more than five decades.
