Hello Douglas,

 

please note that St. Michel is not the cathedral of Brieuc. My spec is from a CD with Daniel Roth.

I have a recording of this organ - Jean Costa playing Franck. It's a fabulous instrument. I don't think the recording is commercially available these days.

Another one is. A knockout one, too -- splendid in all respects.
