Background and General Perspectives on Performing These Organ Works
From Oxford Music online:
"Daniel-Lesur’s music stands apart from that of his more famed contemporaries in La Jeune France, being more conventional in texture, rhythmically more regular, and more directly diatonic. Its modal shading probably comes less from his colleagues’ influence than from his respect for Tournemire and his interest in folk music."
