DURUFLÉ (1902-1986)
Fugue on the name of Alain
From the Prelude and Fugue on the name of Alain, this piece is a tribute to Duruflé’s friend and colleague Jehan Alain, destined to become one of the great 20th century French composers, but tragically killed in the Second World War.

Reviews for Duruflé, Complete Organ Works:
“I love the way he makes the music shine brightly through that incense-laden atmosphere which seems to shroud so many recordings of this repertory, without actually disturbing it in any way. I do not recall ever having been so excited by this music before. An exceptionally fine recording, which has captured instrument, acoustic and playing with impeccable detail without any sacrificing of atmosphere, and we have here a genuinely exceptional organ release.” – Gramophone (Editor’s Choice)
“Trotter plays like a man possessed to stunning effect.” ★★★★★ – Limelight Magazine
“The superbly engineered recording does full justice to the magnificence of Trotter’s playing.” ★★★★★ – Birmingham Post
“A tour de force” ★★★★★ (Performance) / ★★★★★ (Recording) – BBC Music Magazine
