Here are some of the earliest recordings by the young Marie-Claire Alain, performed on the famous Parisian organs of Sainte-Clotilde and Saint-Merri. Prelude to a partnership with Erato of an incredible longevity, they include the most famous French toccatas from the late 19th century and major works by her brother Jehan, to whom she would later devote many albums.
