The Organ, Memory and Vision
Jean GUILLOU

In an uninterrupted surge spanning some fifty years, this masterful study by Jean Guillou, one of the organ masters of the 20th century, has continued to attract a diverse and ever-changing readership. A fundamental work for anyone interested in the organ, this impressive compendium draws on undeniable historical, technical, artistic and iconographic scholarship, and the original text re-published until 1996 has not aged a bit. This new edition benefits from new contributions that have appeared in subsequent French and foreign editions, and has been enhanced with a renewed and updated documentary apparatus, in accordance with Jean Guillou’s wishes. This substantial and intense work, coupled with the census of a decade rich in diverse activities, is thanks to the dedication and efficiency of the Augure association. The time has come to celebrate this landmark work, born of the mind of a great artist, a historical treasure in a poetics of presence.
