  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • too slow -- it's a jig dude. Fox has the tempo correct

  • Tempo suits the acoustics of Notre Dame. Lovely!

  • Sound cumbersome.

    Miss the ornaments played athe beginning but not continued throughout the work.

  • Beautiful music.
