Like Sergiu Celibidache, the late Jean Boyer (1948-2004) did not too much appreciate disks and recordings...This is a rare and moving souvenir from Gilles Cantagrel's excellent serie "Histoire de l'Orgue" (FR3 1990), unfortunately never broadcast again as far as I know.Jean Boyer plays here the outstanding French classical Louis Alexandre Clicquot organ at St-Jacques St-Christophe parish church in Houdan (1734).A l'instar de Sergiu Celibidache, Jean Boyer (1948-2004) n'appréciait pas trop les disques et les enregistrements...Ceci est un souvenir rare et émouvant tiré de l'excellente série de Gilles Cantagrel "Histoire de l'Orgue", programmée par FRS en 1990, et malheureusement jamais rediffusée depuis.Jean Boyer joue ici l'instrument exceptionnel construit par Louis Alexandre Clicquot pour l'église paroissiale St Jacques St Christophe de Houdan (1734).Elève (entre autres) de Xavier Darasse et André Isoir, Jean Boyer était professeur au Conservatoire de Lyon.

I also own a fairly 2 LP box (Telefunken) entitled (in English) 'Historic Clicquot of France', with Houdan being one of the two instruments featured. Lovely de Grigny being played on this...

I'm close to tears here: some of the most moving music on the web. (Despite my numerous postings in the Symphonic organ, the Renaissance / early Baroque repertoire remains my first love...)

Bravo!!Ottimi pezzi.Ottima interpretazione.

Trop rares sont les organistes qui soient d'aussi bons musiciens ! Quelle beauté !
PHILIPPEFRITSCH (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
This was the usual practice among French organs of that time. The country was rich and could afford long and expensive bass pipes...

I know one of the last students of Jean Boyer, our teacher of an organ improvisation. If he was able to make such a musicians, he must had been a great man. I wish myself to play this way...

...funny tuning of the organ, it's tuned in b (sounding 2 halftones lower)!

It sounds like part of that suite of anonymous 16th century dances published by Attaignant:

Is there any publishing information on the 'Trois Danses?' They are lovely pieces, and well played.
