Roth was born in Mulhouse to René Roth and his wife Angèle (née Higelin). He began his musical training at the conservatoire in his hometown with Joseph Victor Meyer. In 1960, he entered the Conservatoire de Paris, where he graduated with five first prizes—in organ and improvisation (1963, class of Rolande Falcinelli), harmony (1962, class of Maurice Duruflé), counterpoint and fugue (1963, class of Marcel Bitsch), and piano accompaniment (1970, class of Henriette Puig-Roget). He later continued his organ studies with Marie-Claire Alain after graduating from Falcinelli's class.

In 1963 Roth became Falcinelli's deputy at the great organ at Basilique du Sacré-Coeur in Paris. He succeeded her as titular organist in 1973, and held this position until 1985, when he was appointed titular organist at the Church of Saint-Sulpice. Roth retired from St. Sulpice in 2023 and was succeeded by Sophie-Véronique Cauchefer-Choplin and Karol Mossakowski as co-titular organists. He was appointed emeritus titular organist and continues to play at the church for one recital and one mass per month.

Roth was married to Odile Josèphe-Georgette Mangin (9 June 1939 − 9 March 2015), with whom he had four children, including the painter Anne-Marie Roth Baud (born 1968), the conductor and flautist François-Xavier Roth and the violist Vincent Roth.
