Daniel Roth is the titular organist at St.-Sulpice, the famous Parisian church where his predecessors included Charles-Marie Widor, Marcel Dupre and Jean-Jacques Grunenwald. At St. Sulpice, Roth presides over one of the most famous organs in the world: the 5-manual Aristide Cavaille-Coll,completed in 1862, and restored in 1991.
This year, 2008, marks the 200th anniversary of the founding of the Archdiocese of Boston. In the early days of the Diocese, many of its priests and bishops were trained in the Sulpician seminary in Paris, thus making a direct connection to the church of St. Sulpice.
The organ at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross is Hook & Hastings, Op. 801, completed in 1875. This magnificent 3-manual instrument is the largest remaining Hook & Hastings. Leo Abbott is music director and organist of the Cathedral.
