About César Franck

César Franck was a Belgian-born composer, pianist, and organist who spent most of his life in France. Born in 1822, he became one of the most influential figures in the late Romantic period. Franck was a prominent teacher at the Paris Conservatoire and was known for his symphonic, chamber, and organ music compositions. His notable works include 'Symphony in D minor' and 'Panis Angelicus.'

Franck's music often delves into profound spiritual and religious themes. His compositions reflect his deep Catholic faith and frequently explore concepts such as divine nourishment, sacred Eucharist, and spiritual guidance. These themes are evident in many of his choral and organ works, giving his music a transcendent and reverent quality.
