The music of César Franck is revered by musicians the world over. for organists, he holds a particularly important place in history as one of the founding fathers of the French Romantic organ tradition, a school of organ composition that would be carried forward into the twentieth century by Charles-Marie Widor, Louis Vierne and others. Franck's unmistakable style showcases colourful polyphony and subtle mastery of form. in artistic terms, he was the first to see and realise the potential of the symphonic organ in France.
