Certes, qui oserait s'asseoir sur le banc de WIDOR sans savoir se servir de ses 10 doigts ?Très bonne démonstration et explication de Monsieur Roth de l'ouvrage de Cavaillé-Coll à St Sulpice. Superbe ces jeux de Clicquot !

The glory of the larger Cavaille's is the very fact that the master did not destroy the Classical instrument whilst building the Symphonic one around it. As for the reeds of the Classical French organ, listen to Francois Couperin's 'Offertoire' from his Parish Mass, Louis Marchand's 'Grand Dialogue', or de Grigny's 'Dialogue sur les Grands Jeux' from Veni Creator, and then tell me they're not exciting!!! Nothing quite like a broadside from an 18th century French reed chorus. Regards, Paul :-)

Although the original Clicquot organ part is very interesting, I can totally imagine that.As for the French romantic literature, I'm very happy to hear Sir Roth play parts of Gigout and Widor in this video. I'm not at all fond of the modern French style of improvising as often seen in videos featuring Mr. Roth or Mr. Latry etc. Play in true 19th century fashion! Anytime! :D

That fellow waited very long, finally losing patience in French classical music and ask Mr Roth to show him the romantic stuff. "What about the stops Cavaille-Coll added? etc.", thinking in his mind "Come on, man, I've come to St Sulpice to hear the reeds and flutes. Who gives a shit to the Cornet and the Cromorne?"

Si tu le cherche, il se trouve à l'église St. Sulpice à Paris (Métro St. Sulpice)
