One of the better interpretations (and organists!) of this composition here at the You-tube community; thank you very much and keep on playing!

I love the huge "clunk" at 5:53 you can tell something big is about to happen ! ( btw what is the clunk ? )

Like the tempo and couplers action! One of the best rendition of this piece, just after Feike Asma's one!

[mcgarryrg]

A flawless performace, made even more powerful when M. Mayeur sustains the Bb pedal before the final chord!

Je ne suis pas connaisseur pour l'orgue et son répertoir mais j'apprécie cette pièce qui est ici très bien interprètée (un peu dans le style de Ben van Oosten).

Je sais aussi que le facteur Alfred Kern (aujourd'hui Daniel et Gaston Kern) basé en Alsace est très reconnu pour ses nombreux travaux de restaurations, relevages et instruments neufs. J'ai pu entendre récemment l'orgue Kern de Masevaux (68), très bel instrument qui a honorablement remplacé le célèbre Calinet détruit en 1966.

I agree wholeheartedly@andre26071955

Without wandering off-topic, I was referring to the distance between the natural key-front and the front of the 'sharps'. I think you'll find that in comparison with S Sulpice, S Ouen, Notre-Dame's C-C console, S Sernin, to name a few, Sacre-Coeur's keys are much longer...just take a look! And also remember that the Sacre-Coeur is also unique in being a four-manual console with concave stop-jambs...

I have never seen CC organs with small keys, they are always quite large.

Sacre Chœur organ was originally placed in a big hall in a castle. CC built many organs with 2 (former Trocadéro, St Antoine de Quinze-Vingts, Amsterdam.. list is endless) or 3 (Institute for the Blind, Sacre-Cœur..) expression boxes. So 'more than one' exp. box is not at all proof it's not a CC..!

But don't mix up the organ in this video (not a CC) and Sacre Cœur ;-).

[marsvltor2]

Interesting case at Sacre-Coeur though - wasn't it originally a 'house organ'?? Note manual keys are of piano size, not the shorter 'organ' size of most (if not all) other Cavailles...

A fine replica of a Cavaille-Coll, right down to the console, and an excellent performance, with fine registration and BEAUTIFUL control and tempo (moreso than I can manage, I'm afraid). Kudos, five stars and a favorite!
