Commissioned by the Vaudeville Theatre in Paris to write incidental music for Alphonse Daudet's play L'Arlésienne ('The Girl from Arles'), Georges Bizet later compiled this set of work into two orchestral suites. French organist and composer Alexandre Guilmant, who composed his first symphony in 1874, is one of the founders of the modern French organ school. The soloist in today's performance, Hannfried Lucke, completed his studies at the Freiburg Conservatory of Music, Salzburg's Mozarteum, and... the Geneva Music Conservatory. He has appeared in most of the countries of Europe, as well as in the USA, Canada, Japan, Hong Kong and Australia. In addition to giving concerts at the world's best-known music festivals, as well as on its most celebrated organs, he has held master classes around the globe and regularly taken part in international organ competitions as a member of the jury. Born in 1926, Leoš Janáček composed his Glagolitic Mass, which is written for solo voices, chorus, organ and orchestra, to the text of the Latin mass as transplanted into Old Church Slavonic.
