What do you all think of Cesar Franck? Every few years, I get sort of infatuated with his compositions. Isn't it amazing that his fame rests on just a handful of compositions, all of which he composed after age 50? (I think I'm right about that...not totally sure.)
Liszt said Franck's organ works were as fine as Bach's. I played the Prelude, Chorale, and Fugue (for piano) quite a long time ago, and it is such an amazing piece. Creativity, emotionalism, craftsmanship.
Anyway, let's have your thoughts on Cesar Franck.
