sound quality is terrible and it's played too slow
-
There is a magnificent recording (DVD) of Diane Bish (of "Joy of Music" fame) and SIMON PRESTON (of Westminster Abbey fame) playing this piece as a DUET (TWO organs) and it's totally brilliant. Somewhere in Florida I think.

How many of you know that Charles Marie Widor (the composer of this piece) was actually the organist of Notre Dame? AND he was BLIND!!!

C'est Olivier Latry organiste titulaire a Notre-Dame de Paris je crois.

@allezach Yes, the church does play an important part in deciding the tempo. However, in smaller churches, it is still aesthetically pleasing to play at a tempo where most of the notes can be heard blending together. I agree that ND is a place where a quick tempo would render this piece muddy because of the size, but I have played this piece in a smaller church in a slower tempo with excellent results.

Did you record this with a toaster? Video quality sucks but sound quality is actually good

Love the tempo! Not so rushed as many organists tend to play it!

You mean 32' Bombarde boltonbrowne, the French do not like using German labels for their reeds!
