I think now there are en chamades in this organ too.

this is the B minor prelude and fuge, it´s the g minor:P

See my previous comment. I grew up going to a brick Methodist church -- but it had just a 3-manual Moller ;-). And I agree with you. There's a lot of the French repertoire (Tournemire springs to mind)that just doesn't sound right anywhere except on a French instrument in a big stone French church.

This is very slow,sounds like he's studying!

[DRJFK1986]

the fugue is a little bit to slow I think. Watch Raul Prieto!

Once upon a time, I would have agreed with you. But many years ago, after sitting in St. Sulpice & listening to Francoise Renet performing something (I can't remember the piece), I came to the realization that you can't listen to these French organs the same way you listen to most other instruments. They're like a meal at a good French restaurant: you can't rush. You must sit back & slowly savor each morsel ;-)

You are very sensible. This tempo is very satisfying. It's a difficult piece.
