Cavaille Coll??

@LCRECORDS1

Cavaille Coll never repaired or maintained this instrument. Its pipe composition is original to Isnard (1774)

It survived the revolution, and has only had repairs such as replacement of keyboards, bellows etc carried out.

Mader, Puget, Merklin & Hermelin and Chabourdin carried out this maintenence over the last 130 years.

I am really liking this organ. It definitely has a sound filled with life and colorful vigor. And those fiery reeds are absolutely spine tingling.

Oh I JUST LOVE OUT OF TUNE FRENCH REEDS!!!!!! (And yes I DO mean that. No sarcasm.)

from being an american we do not have many organs like that over here. i mean we have organs that sound like this but they just dont look the same or probaly feel the same as playing an organ like that over in france. nice video. i like the peice to.

Sound is very good, vision amateur like shaky, bad perspecitives, lots of visual obstacles, looks too much down than up, makes me dizzy. Would be better to have a few really good bright photos!

Good quality recording - what did you use?

[Southfrancepipedream]

@ds1868

I used a Zoom Q3 video recorder. Very high quality audio (wav file) and very poor quality video. Ideal for music! Available through music stores or internet.

@Southfrancepipedream Thanks. I have Pierre Bardon's recording of this music on CD - interesting to compare the different performances. Thanks again for posting.
