The thunder of the guns and the stench of death can be sensed in many compositions, especially in the quintet by Louis Vierne, which he wrote in memory of his son, who was executed by firing squad together with other mutineers in 1917, but was officially reported as killed in action on 11 November! This moving work of a father's love, resentfully expressing his rebellion against the savagery of the guns, is the climax in the composer's oeuvre, whose genius went far beyond organ music.

With the album 1914, the French Cultural Institute is celebrating the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of the First World War in co-operation with Gramola. Many works of the war years testify to the suffering and the power of destruction, such as the Quintet for Piano and String Quartet in C minor op. 42 (1917/18) by Louis Vierne, which he wrote in memory of his murdered son. In addition, the album also contains compositions apparently unaffected by the horrors of the time, like the Preludes for Piano op. 38 (1914/15) by Vierne or the Sonata for Violin and Piano op. 64 (1915/16) by Charles Koechlin, which is kept entirely in the Impressionist manner. You can hear Louise Chisson, violin, and Tamara Atschba, piano, as well as Matthias Adensamer, Alexander Znamensky and Christophe Pantillon with a musical commemoration of the year 1914.
