(Amadeus). Jean Langlais (1907-1991) was among the foremost French musicians of his time. He was the successor to the musical tradition established by Cesar Franck and; like him; was organist at the church of Sainte Clotilde in Paris. Though blind from early childhood; he became one of the most celebrated touring virtuos of his time; his legendary recitals always concluding with an improvisation upon a submitted theme. Langlais wrote a body of music for organ second only in extent to that of Bach; and his compositions for organ remain widely played. This biography by one of his favorite pupils examines both his life and music.
