  • Absoleutly amazing, but one question though, he always uses that red book, what book is that does anyone know?

  • It is an old copy of the book of chants for the yearly Catholic mass cycle -- something that was more commonly used during the days of the Latin masses (and coming back into fashion). M. Roth frequently refers to this book for the chant melodies.

  • This video really does show how great Cavaille-Coll was as an organ builder in faith of his design and materials used, by the way Mr. Roth gives the console a thorough thrashing.

  • man becomes one with the machine... what a genious!

  • Love the orchestrated dim starting at 5:25

  • @polsterj I'm still not totally convinced since the pedal is moving quickly, but perhaps its a trick of poor recording and it hiding in the Jeux de combinaision and not drawn with the rest. Clearly the 32' Principal is drawn. Having heard numerous recordings it is not a coy or reticent stop even with anches coupled. We could argue it forever but why bother, its still a magnificent instrument played by a magnificent organist.

  • @praestant8 And I'll say it another time, it is used.

    At 5:00 you can hear this thunder, wich is the low Cis of the contre-bombarde, and I have already been there, I've already heard it.

    And I have to correct a mistake: The The St Sulpice 32 Bombarde is NOT as strong as on other Cavaillé-Colls, it doesn't really roar (only at Cis)

    And please keep that stupid comments about age for you, that's mostly unimportant.

  • @polsterj Nope, your ears and youthful desire deceive you. Certainly it would have been to great musical effect at the climax, but he didn't. The world will not end.

  • voices from another world that should stay there...because organists cannot improvise in more than 2 flats and make harmonic sense...oui? Nez pas?

  • I can't get enough of this.
