Let's remember that Cochereau always played at a tempo that worked in the space (here, Notre-Dame). Furthermore, this was recorded on the Notre-Dame organ prior to the overhaul of the late 1960's and thus the original and sometimes heavy key action.
Cochereau was a master and he got it right; the tempo is just fine; so is the gorgeous tone of the Cavaille-Coll progressive mixtures II-V ranks.

The tempo gets slower and slower as the piece progresses. This sounds ponderous and heavy.

Kind of a dull performance to be honest, but very solid. But nothing much is said here.

The tempo is a bit too slow, this is true, but Fox plays it too fast, sorry.
I think the right tempo is in the middle.
Listen to organist from Germany, they play about at this tempo, or a bit faster.
