Lionel Rogg

Swiss organist and composer Lionel Rogg's (b. 1936) career was launched with the works of J.S.Bach. After finishing his studies at the Geneva Conservatory with Pierre Segond for organ and Nikita Magaloff for piano, Lionel Rogg gave a series of ten recitals at the Victoria Hall, Geneva, performing the complete organ works of Bach. The success of these performances led to the recording of this impressive programme. Since that time, Lionel Rogg has travelled the world, giving countless organ recitals in Europe East and West, the Americas, Australia, Korea and Japan.His recordings include three versions of the Bach's organ works, the Art of Fugue (Prix de l'Académie Charles Cros 1970), the complete organ works of Buxtehude (Deutscher Schallplattenpreis 1980), Couperin, Clérambault, Grigny and Brahms, and recordings of Liszt, Reger, etc.
