Trompette of Albi Cathedral organ

With 19 ranks of reeds, Albi cathedral has an incomparable selection of Trompette variations for the organist to choose from. The sound is as orchestral as a Baroque organ can be . . .

This sounds like Mozart and is the Quartetto by the French composer Jean-Jacques Beauvarlet-Charpentier played by the resident organist since 1968, Mary Prat-Molinier.

That's a really interesting observation! There's something nasal about this that I could not put my finger on - but also the temperament adds to the nasality.

That's a very unusual sound. Something like that in an American setting would be awful, but the resonance you get in Albi really makes it pretty.

I'm not hearing a trompette in this. More like a Cornet and something like a Cromorne possibly?
