  1. That's number three leaving in how may years? Might make people think about the job ....
  2. Me too, but we're different people in different times; our perception of that sound will not (and cannot) be Franck's (or as in Franck's era). The CC's in north Spain should come very close, like the one in St.Maria-del-Coro - San Sebastian (as recorded on Susan Landale's complete Franck)
  3. I'm not convinced the Ste.Clotilde is the definitive source of inspiration for Franck's organworks; he certainly new other (larger) CC's and that may well have influenced his 'thinking'.
  4. Don't recall were, but I've read on the internet that the four-manual console should also play the choir organ (is there one?); which would make sense having 80+ stopknobs.
  5. Thanks for this one; all imitators please rest ...
  6. He's going to Pennsylvania; read page 2 in 'The Redeemer' of Jan.6 2008 here (in pdf).
  7. There's much more - Olivier Glandaz (how services the organ of the Trinite) claims to have much more videos, but there are problems with the authorities (read more here)
  8. The Hall still stands: here
  9. To get cheap mic's you might look/try a pair of Naiant mic's. Haven't used them myself, but at the price they're well worth a try. On linux (which I use), apart from Audacity, you also have Cinelerra for audio and/or video editing. And you can create redbook compliant cd's from your edited files with a simple application named GCDmaster. All for free.
  10. Thanks Pierre. A quote from it (about (leathered) diapasons): "The object of the leathered lip was, as Hope-Jones stated, to reintroduce the "full, rolling effect of the old diapason work of Father Smith and Renatus Harris." The "full, rolling effect" was reintroduced in conjunction with greatly increased power. That was the claim, and the claim was substantiated. Robert "the neo-baroque" Hope-Jones? :angry:
  11. Oh yes, there's also the Tournemire recording by Mme Dufource-Hakim there; stunning.
  12. Of course; just couldn't resist posting this (it's just one of those days ...)
  13. With all respect, but isn't this thread a bit much advertising for Mr. Aubertin on our hosts forum?

    New Cathedral Organ

    having a *particular* cathedral organ in storage, they could even fix it quickly
  15. Consider Oktava mics, but get them from the SoundRoom (only). Great value for money, I use them (omni) with a Fostex FR2LE; at the price hard to beat.

    Hugo Distler

    Oh yes: Micheelsen's 2nd concerto 'Es sungen drei Engel' is great (and seldom heard).

    Hugo Distler

    Well yes, one of the most famous pieces (here in Holland) is the Nun komm der Heiden Heiland Fantasie. Recently Bas de Vroome released a disc combined with vocal works. Personally I like the vocal works, especially the "Totentanz" is interesting.
  18. Hmm, tried this with a laptop, but reading on an LCD screen is not always pleasant, and also the devices: batteries run out, software glitch/crashes..... I think I'll stick to paper for some more time.
  19. Looking even older then (Gauloises and Lyon taking there toll ?)
  20. Hard to believe he was only 59 at the time ... (wasn't this fragment also on the DVD ?)
  21. How about Chartres and Bruxelles cathedrals?
  22. Hmmm, If you mean that it's a 'Cochereau style' thing, I doubt it, bearing in mind what PC said about his (PC's) improvisations...
