Widor's 5th Symphony in F Minor - Movement Three - Andantino Quasi Allegretto

Full Symphony - http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=3B1FEB74F427013E&playnext=1

The first movement of Charles-Marie Widor's Fifth Symphony for Organ in F Major. The organist is Olivier Latry, the titular organist (one of three) at Notre Dame de Paris. Des Grande Orgue du Notre Dame de Paris, essentially built by Aristide Cavaille-Coll in 1867, currently has 110 stops, 153 ranks, an electrified action with a 5-manual console, and approximately 7,900 pipes. And it needs to be freaking put back the way it was in the eighties, because somewhere along the line in that rebuild they did in the nineties the en chamades got nastier and the bombardes started sounding like a trombone...

1:46... 4:13...

Brilliant transitions, aren't they?

Well yes it's Cavalle-Coll plus jet engines and bulldozers. But if any organ in France must be turned up to 11 I suppose it must be this one.

Sí, es verdad, son pequeños instantes, pero tan poéticos...
