Live from the palace of a thousand dreams, the art of transforming time into celestial paths washed in musical grandeur. That which touches the soul, transcends the temporary and instills grace in those who open their ears to hear. Voices of mastery held aloft in memorable space.
Never mind the almost!! it is!! ...If I did not read the title for this video I would have most certainly thought this was a piece of couperin! ...its absolutely fantastic, ...and such ignorant people have the adacity to say lefebvres impro is awful!
When the Organ is heard as its Tutti setting, the reeds and mixtures overpower the rest a little bit to much, but by far, one of the best sounds on this earth.
Well they SHOULD be from the console if you're sitting under them...you have to remember the sound they're supposed to fill and ALMOST speak over the rest of full organ. Out in the Nave they're quite effective and tame.
These are the Robert Boisseau Chamades of 1965, tamed by his son Jean-Loup Boisseau in 1992. Actually the original three ranks were extremely fiery, and used to spit venomously down the nave. They are now much quieter, thanks to the 1989-92 rebuild.
Is Chamade 216 actually a Chamade 32? ;-) Which, by the way, would be one very impressive pipe -- not to mention an engineering feat of staggering proportions.
And what's with all these Chamade screen names? Is it some kind of secret society? ;-)
L like Cochereau, too. That's why I've posted a couple of videos that incorporate old recordings of his. Cochereau was a virtuoso AND an improvisatory genius.
Cochereau had the 2/16 (with the T8'C4'chamades) installed in 1966 with Robert Boisseau, Jean-Loup Boisseau's father who did the 1992 restoration with Cattiaux and many others.
If I'm correct this organ has two sets of chamades. One set are the trompette en chamades 8 and 4, and the other regal en chamades 2/16. I love the regal chamades, they give the organ a very nice bite!
In fact Notre-Dame (since 1992 and Boisseau fils) has 5 full 56 note Chamades!! (or 3 "sets" if you want, as brestull was saying) Before 1966 there were no Chamades at ND; Louis Vierne wanted some copied of St-Sernin in Toulouse in 1932, but means were not enough for that at the time. Cochereau had the first 8'and 4' ones installed by Boisseau père in 1966 (+ the 2/16 one) and Boisseau fils added an another 8'and 4'set in 1992, copied from St-Sernin. JW
No. The chamade 2/16 simply has a "basse" (first half) in 2' and a "dessus" (second half) in 16' (does it exactly change in the middle I don't know but this is quite interesting in a Symphonic context.)

And people say Lefebvre can't improvise... they say his improvisations sound like noise... total BS. He CAN improvise, that is for sure!
AWESOME!!!

I agree, I just think its superb, sounds fantastic

That's some major reed action. For a french style organ the reeds sound very Iberian.

Are the chamade reeds on this organ by Cavaille-Coll? They are horrendously loud!

It's one of the reed stops of the Notre-Dame organ. I think Pierre Cochereau put this stop into the organ. And I like Cochereau

Eh? You mean French baroque (i.e. 18th century). It is superb though. Pity it's so short!
