Je n'ai jamais entendu un aussi grande clarté et une si grande majestée dans des jeux d'anches mis à part ceux ci superbe pièce .

The restorer did a top-notch job here!

What a wonderful piece you've given us. I love listening to this. I wish I could purchase a copy to keep!
-
Awesome! What powerful and fiery reeds this organ definitely has. The more I hear french organs the more I like them.

I'm by no means an organ expert, but that really sounded wonderful - I really like the low bass notes on the pedals such as at 0:26 - they really add character to the piece.

Wonderful!

This organ sounds fantastic. French organs have a sound all of their own and Francois
Couperin's piece from Concerts Royeaux suits it so well

French organs are the best and this piece from francois couperin's concert royeaux

L'orgue est exceptionnel.
Vous avez joué cette musique en façon élogiable.*****

Nan, je pense que c'est mieux ainsi, l'orgue à sa place dans l'église, il lui doit beaucoup dans sa notoriété, même si il est vrai que la musique se suffit amplement (je suis organiste de concert et liturgique, donc je sais de quoi je parle ! :D)
Musicalement,

Je sens que c'est le Seigneur qui nous chante, pas un orgue joue avec tant de maitrise.
This is not an organ played by expert hands and feets, but THE VOICE OF LORD.

@florin11bv Yes - I agree - the organ is truly a divine instrument and leads to the inner emotion of the soul

I've tried posting a link to a site with a detailed history of the Albi organ, but that doesn't work. Search: "The Jean-Baptiste Puget Organ of Albi Metropolitan Cathedral." The writer has a very negative comment at the end about a 1986 rebuild. In the light of latribe's try at playing Boellman and organist Mary Pratt-Molinier's refusal, one has to wonder whether there is a connection between her Baroque purism and the historian's negative comment. . . Any ideas?

Hi! My "attempt" at Boellman 4th movement was for fun, on an instrument which is intimidating (SO PLEASE COME AND PLAY IT BETTER! - that's the idea!) and most of all without a page turner!
What was relevant, however, in relation to Albi is the first movement of the Suite Gothique is inspired by the Baroque and the effect of that movement on this instrument in that acoustic would be astounding!

J'adore!
c'est la "forlane" du 4° concert extrait des "concerts royaux" de François Couperin.

Aah! Thanks for telling us what this mystery "Encore" piece was!
The organist D'Arcy Trinkwon explains the character of the French trumpets as being "Fit for the Arrival of the King". How appropriate for "concerts royaux"!
