Marcel Dupre was the foremost French organ virtuoso of his time, an heir to the great tradition of Romantic French organ playing and composing. Dupré was famed for his ability to improvise; he also composed substantial works and was a widely traveled recitalist and an influential teacher. The extraordinary talent of Marcel Dupré arose out of an extraordinary childhood. Born in Rouen in 1886, Dupré was the only child in a home that has been described as ‘a temple of music’; his father Albert was a distinguished organist and choral conductor, his mother Alice a cellist and pianist, and the grandfather and aunt who shared the house were also professional musicians.
