Corse 2018 : Grand orgue de la Cathédrale d'Ajaccio

Corse 2018 : Grand orgue de la Cathédrale d'Ajaccio
FR: orgue Cavaillé-Coll, 1846 - descriptif en PiP

EN: The great organ of Ajaccio Cathedral was built in 1846 by Cavaillé-Coll, father and son, organ builders of King Louis-Philippe.
It originally included 33 mechanical transmission sets spread over 3 manual keyboards (2 of 54 notes and 1 of 42 notes), and a 25 notes pedalboard.
Restored and enlarged in 1960 by Jacquot Lavergne Establishments, Rambervillers, and in 1964 by Edmond Costa, it now includes 43 sets with pneumatic electro-mechanical transmission spread over 3 manual keyboards of 61 notes and a 32-notes pedalboard.
In addition, it is enriched with 31 combinations.
The four columns supporting the gallery are one-piece, made of marble from Corte (Corsica).

Thank you very much Andy!
The equivalent youtube link is there to compensate and to redund the deezer link.
This "glorious organ music" comes from the eminent French organ school and more precisely from Maurice Duruflé (1902-1986), one of its worthy representatives. Student of Charles Tournemire, zeller of the classical organ and great improviser, he composed in 1942 this admirable prelude and fugue on the name Jehan Alain (1911-1940), tribute to another famous organist and composer of this school. Glad you like it, Andy!

Superbe lumière dans cette cathédrale et une musique un peu insolite pour moi, outre les grands classiques, étant branchée orgue mais via Jimmy Smith, Rhoda Scott etc...

Une très belle prise mon cher Eric, cet orgue si précieux doit être un "délice" à entendre et vous êtes un "amour" de partager tous vos trésors avec nous.....Sur cette boutade, je retourne à mes devoirs ipernitiens..... Hélas! Duruflé me laisse froide comme le marbre.... Excusez mon inculture à ce niveau!
