Repertoire in dialogue
Winner of a first prize in organ in 1826 in François Benoist’s class at the Paris Conservatoire, Charles-Alexandre Fessy (Alexandre Fessy on his editions) was the first organist of La Madeleine in 1846, then the following year exchanged posts with Lefébure-Wély to take over Saint-Roch, which he held until his death. He published collections for the liturgy, including a Manuel d’orgue and, with Adolphe Miné, a Guide de l’organiste.
