The indefatigable Pierre Labric is 100 today.

Longstanding deputy organist at Notre Dame de Paris, standing in for his 1948 Conservatoire classmate Pierre Cochereau, Labric made most of his celebrated recordings on the Cavaillé-Coll organ in Rouen.

  • Micaelo Cassetti says:

    Outstanding interpreter, especially of Vierne’s music.
    Happy Birthday, M. le Maitre Labric!

  • The View from America says:

    Labric’s Vierne symphonies are a treasure. He doesn’t go for the razzmatazz, focusing on the more introspective musical insights instead.
