The same "problem" happened to me when I played at St. Paul's in San Diego (Aeolian Skinner organ from 1953). During the practice session, we had about 3 seconds of reverb. During the concert however, we had almost none!

C'est ma improvisation préférée d'Olivier Latry.Absolument formidable.Bravo!

Ed, I didn't think it sounded as good as your recordings ;-)

I have engineered and mastered many recordings at the Washington Cathedral beginning in 1986. However, but the recent Latry recital recording for JAV was not one of my recordings.

@OlivierLatryfan Its possible that they *cut* of the reverb but most likely it hast to do with 1.microphone position and 2.the amount of people in the building. Cochereau himself wondered how it was possible to have 7 s. reverb on one rec. and almost no reverb on an other recording. solution: one time during concert with 3000 people...the other time in an empty notre-dame by night :)

I think it must have been the microphone placement. I don't have the CD yet, but I expect Ed Kelly was the recording engineer. He's recorded pipe organs all over America. He usually does a great job of catching reverb, not blocking it.

I heard Latry @ Washington Cathedral several months ago -- a true virtuoso, & an improvisateur following in the footsteps of Cochereau.
That's amusing, I just bought the Washington CD, it seems there is not much reverb in this cathedral.

Not much reverb? It's about 7 seconds, I think -- maybe more. We who have sung in it think it has TOO MUCH reverb !!

That's strange because if I hear the end of the final of the impro, the sound remains approx. 2 seconds before disappearing. In ND it remains 4s on any piece I have, and there is 7s reverb.
Maybe they have found a way to cut the reverb for the recording (for the Washington CD)
