I have the greatest respect for Leguay. Of all the Titulaire's he understands the limitations of the rebuild/restoration the best - he plays within certain parameters, doesn't cloud the ensemble too much, when he goes for tutti he generally only uses the castrated Boisseau chamades for defining the treble, ignoring the revolting, fat, flabby, fart-like chamade additions from 1990. It almost, (and I emphasise almost) sounds like the Cochereau era organ, but only partly so, I'm afraid to say.
Please keep osting these !!! We don't care if it's Leguay or Lefebvre or Latry -- you are providing a GREAT service to us lovers of French organ music who can't go to Europe as much as we would like. (Euro good -- dollar bad ;-)
Yup this is an improv, Has a sort of hidden jazz quality. Very common in his improvs

I love how the sort of transcendental skill that blind musicians, particularly organists have. Jean-Pierre is amazing.

It's heavenly music. Nothing is pressed by chance well pretought before each chord.

In the beggining, it sounds a lot like Bach.
Maybe an improvisation on a passage of Bach?
Hmmm...:-)
