@Mitsugejl Check on here for a performance of the Gigout on the Cavaille-Coll organ at St. Ouen in Rouen. I suspect you'll enjoy it.

I was in St. Sulpice on Easter Sunday a few years ago. What a thrill! M. Roth ended the service with a brilliant performance of the Franck Finale. I'll never forget it!

Thanks.

Gigout-"Grand Chorus Dialogue" .. is the piece that he's playing in this video sample

[Mitsugejl]

I would have loved to hear the entire dialogué on that organ...

This is one trip I would love to make. The organ Daniel Roth plays is like no other. You don't see these type of organs anymore exept in OLD, OLD movies! Rather than saying Daniel Roth, I say Daniel ROCKS!!!
