For Louis Vierne's music, Christopher Houlihan pulls out the stops

The concert organist will perform six sweeping symphonies by the 1870-born composer over two days at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels, the home of a 6,019-pipe Dobson organ.

NEW YORK — Few artists suffered the Job-like misfortunes of composer-organist Louis Vierne. Born almost blind, in 1870, he badly injured his leg when he fell in a Paris street as a young man and had his heart broken by the best friend who slept with his wife. A brother and son died in World War I. Then came financial ruin, more women who left him and the total loss of his sight.
