Pianist, organist and teacher born in Versailles, Alexandre-Pierre-François Boëly was organist of Saint-Germain-l’Auxerrois in Paris from 1840 to 1851, when he was dismissed for the "austerity" of his playing. There he championed Bach, Frescobaldi and Couperin, then little played, and both Franck and Saint-Saëns regarded him as the guardian of the classical organ tradition.
