Marcel Dupré improvised these meditations on poems by Paul Claudel in Brussels in 1931, and later wrote them down. This new recording is the first ever CD release of Dupré’s complete Stations of the Cross from St. Sulpice, Paris, Dupré’s own instrument. International recording artist Stephen Tharp, who recorded his first CD with JAV at St. Sulpice in 2001, performs the entire work in SACD surround sound. The disc is playable on all CD players. Program notes on the music, the organ, and the Stations of the Cross are written in English, French and German.
