| Just last month in Paris, on the occasion of the Chausson colloquium, the site's associates interviewed esteemed musician Georges Delvallée. He spoke with us of Vierne's music and other topics. See our pages on Delvallée (in the Artists/Performers section) for the full interview and other materials. |
| Dutch organist Christine Kamp is planning a double CD (on the Festivo Amersfoort label), due to appear sometime later this year. To be made at the church of St Sernin in Toulouse, the recording will include the 4th and 5th symphonies, the Triptyque, and the Messe Basse pour les défunts of Vierne. |
