To undertake this recording project is to face an unsuspected and gigantic quantity of music: 253 pieces of L'Orgue mystique, the symphonies, the poems, the collections It is also to find oneself in the presence of music that is innovative, mystical and poetic, says Vincent Boucher. Vincent Boucher has performed extensively, both in Canada and in Europe, notably at the cathedrals of Chartres, Bourges, and Notre-Dame de Paris. In 2000 he won first prize in the John Robb Organ Competition. In 2002, he won the Académie de musique du Québec's Prix d'Europe, which had not been given to an organist since 1966.
