Best-selling US organist dies, 81
RIPThe ever-popular Michael Murray died last week at the age of 81.
A student of Marcel Dupré, whose biography he would write, Murray was organist of St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Columbus, Ohio, for 31 years. He made numerous best-selling recordings on the Telarc label, notably of Bach, Franck and Saint-Saëns.
He was also the biographer of the publisher and philosopher Jacques Barzun. Murray retired just over ten years ago.
