The most beautiful Organs of the Family Cavaillé and Aristide Cavaillé-Coll in Southern France,

[@michaelschantz6708]

The genius of this family is undisputed when one hears these instruments. Each is a Masterpiece. St. Sernin Toulouse ranks up there with St. Ouen de Rouen, which I have heard and played.

[@tedphillips2501]

The sounds that inspired generations of new and wonderful music - wonderful !

[@lejeffbarker6346]

Meilleur souvenir de votre trop court passage. Bravo pour ce beau reportage ! JF

[@kyotokid4]

..appears I will be spending a lot of time on SNCF during my trip to go and see all these wonderful masterpieces.

[@elfishpresleybarbiebreath1116]

The first music piece is definetely a Daniel Roth improvisation :D Also the quiet middle part in the video. Hypnotic

[@nathananthony9938]

i guess I am kinda off topic but do anyone know a good place to watch newly released movies online?

[@brennanderek3104]

@Nathan Anthony i watch on Flixzone. You can find it on google :)

[@joelbrandon6807]

@Brennan Derek Yea, I've been using flixzone for months myself =)

[@nathananthony9938]

@Brennan Derek Thanks, signed up and it seems like a nice service :D I really appreciate it!

[@brennanderek3104]

@Nathan Anthony you are welcome xD

[@westernshipway3115]

Great organs acoustics and some melodic music.

[@gerardbedecarter]

Thanks for uploading this beautiful presentation.

[@organgoesheavy]

Thank You - I was deep impressed.

[@stthomasmore4811]

It's too bad that the organs being heard to not match the ones being shown on video while they are playing.

[@muzikaeuropa]

Wunderschön im Klang und Bild!

[@eabernathy1]

Are these improvisations??!!! Who is playing them? This is a wonderful collection of sounds and visual gems! Thank you to whomever complied this! More more more!!!

[@theorganloft]

Fantastic!

[@michaelschantz6708]

Yes, some of Aristide Cavaille-Coll's organs were rebuilds and enlargements of earlier instruments like Cliquot, where the earlier, original organ cases were preserved. St.Sulpice de Paris, Notre Dame de Paris and St. Etienne du Mont are good examples.

[@bowlerrollercoaster]

I wonder why Aristide Cavaille-Coll never enlarged the organ from Francois Henri-Clicquot at Saint Germain l'Auxerrois in Paris?

[@bowlerrollercoaster]

Nancy Cathedral too

[@foekevanacker8927]

What a sound! Fantastic!! Normally they restore Aristide Caivallé-Coll his organ from the Saint Nicholaschurch in Ghent in 2019.

[@lorbo77]

in my opinion the music we hear are improvisations of Daniel Roth in st. Sulpice

[@johnbostrom8467]

Wow.......

[@elfishpresleybarbiebreath1116]

WOW...at 8:21 I'm hypnotized...I love the chords!!!!!!!!!

[@elfishpresleybarbiebreath1116]

9:09 what kind of magic is that???

[@renfredclowes4297]

Je l'adore.

[@jorybennett5932]

Maitre Roth is a great improviser, successor to Widor and Dupré.

[@WillemVanTwillertOrganist]

nice

[@xavierorgue]

Dommage que le son corresponde rarement à l'orgue filmé.

[@christophercandela1216]

Ça marche quelquefois

[@dehnerbootboy]

Please add listing of performers/pieces/improvisations!

[@LeendertCordemans]

Please. Where is the music and the composer recorded? Very nice sound. Wonder organ. Great!

[@incessnant350]

+Leendert Cordemans If you look at the end of the video 16:27, that'll tell you. I thought they sounded like Daniel Roth's improvisations.

[@LeendertCordemans]

Thank you for your information.

[@AdrianGunning]

About 90% of the organ cases viewed were built by earlier builders. What you hear is Cavaille -Coll but not what you see!

[@deaganjones4666]

that is because they used pieces played by Daniel Roth at saint sulpice as the background

[@maxouf1]

Lunel, Saint-Guilhem, Nîmes, you went all around Montpellier without seeing this city, the cathedral and its wonderful organ, nor the great one of Notre-Dame des Tables there?

[@estellegerthoffert4669]

très beau! Je ne connais pas la partition : on peut la trouver où? Merci

[@josephgraif2588]

thank god for this visionary and his contribution to the EVOLUTION of the king of instruments. oh, but pardon me. we are supposed to ignore all of this and pay homage to the neo-baroque whistle-boxes we keep turning out and upon which we waste millions of dollars each year. you can only perform this music on a MODERN instrument!

[@normanchristie4524]

How does France support so many of these great organs?

[@brucetominello325]

Yeah there’s a lot,of that going around.

[@Kan780]

Ein traumhaftes optisches und klangliches Erlebnis Reinhard Kluth

[@robertgift]

Wonderful ethereal sounds. Are some of these Cavaillé-Coll fitted inside earlier organ facades?

[@perrykufferath1146]

Yes, some are.

[@MsSinyria]

wirklich schöne Orgelschätze, tolles Video mit schönen Spieltischaufnahmen! Schade, dass das Video "nicht gelistet" ist, so bleibt es sicher einigen Orgelfans auf YT verborgen...

[@polsterj]

Das ist eine ganz andere Aufnahme... Was du meinst ist die CD von JAV aus Rouen. Der Sound hier kommt von einer DVD, die von OrganPromotion in St Sulpice über Daniel Roth und die Orgel gedreht hat. Die Aufnhame, die man hier hört, war eine Demonstration des Tuttis, es gab mal ein Video dazu, das wurde aber schon vor längerem gelöscht.

[@geuros]

Ah ok... title says Most Beautiful Organs in Southern France but description adds "of the Family Cavaillé and Aristide Cavaillé-Coll"... Because I was about to ask where is St. Maximin la Ste. Baume?

[@pauldoerflingerMarcoPolo1947]

Vous avez pas beaucoup insisté sur Saint Sernin de Toulouse, l’un des plus majestueux et de sonorités exceptionnelles

[@Mark_Dyer1]

You have to go to France to hear the real "growlers"! It'll those mighty reeds, I think.

[@normanchristie4524]

Mark Dyer I agree, ‘the growl’ singles out great organ builders. France is supreme for these.

[@BySharpandFlame]

Luckily, the Sernin instrument is in the same category of the instruments in St. Sulpice and St. Ouen; unmodified and for all intents and purposes, in the same state as when they were built. The Saint-Sernin instrument is my preference for Bach with all of its mixtures and abrasive sound.

[@PaulWesleyBowen]

Toward the middle it begins to sound like a medley of songs from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, segments from Disney's Fantasia and a few other minor horror songs ...

[@polsterj]

Also das Stück das bei 2:43 beginnt ist auf jeden Fall eine impro von daniel roth in st sulpice, der rest bis auf die impro in der mitte ist vom stil her wahrscheinlich auch roth

[@t.p.ggaming3884]

3:05 Dat Contrebombarde tho

[@AirchimeLTDproductions174]

The Grand Orgue d'eglise St. Sulpice :)

[@rolandtandou7034]

Entre Toulouse et Carcassonne il y a le Cavaillé-Coll de St Michel de Castelnaudary !

[@jacqueslahondere4649]

musique sublime( je n'exagère pas) et la sonorité de ces instruments remarquable

[@lawrencenevel546]

who is the organist or is it several? Is it Jean-Baptiste Dupont?

[@CP-dv8nc]

Et celui de st Rémi de Provence ou est-il ?

[@olivierbrault2037]

C'est pas un Cavaillé-Coll

[@polsterj]

Nein, St Sulpice ;-) Erstens hört man das und zweitens gab's mal ein Video dazu...

[@Shenandoah58]

My favorite one used to be Ste-Sernin in Toulouse, but I believe it has been monkeyed around with too much. Maybe I am just hearing a bad recording.....I don't know...

[@Liodefrance]

Perso je préfère la suavité du Cavaillé-Coll de La Grande Combe, qui nous vient de 1881 et a gardé tous ses registres d'origine. masdelaregordane.wordpress.com/2017/12/10/fetes-chretiennes-a-la-grand-combe

[@DominicusMagnus]

Only Cavaillé-Coll ! What about other organs ?

[@stthomasmore4811]

Once you've heard a Cavaillé-Coll, there are no other organs. LOL

[@georgemurphy2579]

The Crime of the Century is that socialism had drug down these wonderful cultures as to the point of slapping great artists and craftsmen in the face. Case in point, the churches are virtually empty; furthermore, some have ceased being churches, period!

[@blackflyingsquarrel9156]

qui est ce gros criminel à 6:30 ?? Trés odieux !
