| In 1863, the brilliant virtuoso Lefébure-Wely was nominated organist. He was succeeded in 1870 by Charles-Marie Widor who was only 26 years old. Nominated with the title as a "temporary organist," he was never given the official title of "titular" during his 63 year presence at St. Sulpice! He resigned on the 31 December 1933, handing the post over to Marcel Dupré, another great figure in the organ world. Dupré, died during the afternoon of the Pentecote in 1971 after playing for the mass that morning. |
