Dear Sweet Horn, thank you for pointing the way towards Heaven.

I imagine you have the complete 12-CD Orgue Mystique set by Delvallée. Back in the 1990s, I had bought the very first issue of that set, which was then released as four successive and separate installments, each being a "double-decker" jewel-case containing 3 CDs (Noël at Orléans in 1995, Pâques at St-Ouen in 1996, Pentecôte in St-Sernin in 1997 and at the Dalbade in 1999). Takes up a lot of shelf space—much more than the current issue in a "miniaturized LP box presentation". But there is noooo way that set is ever going to make room in my shelf for anything else!

Aloha Blessed acc,

Yes sir, I have the 12-Cd box. Yes, I do gripe just a smidgeon that the whole L'Orgue Mystique should have been recorded at St. Ouen...And for that matter, all the Tournemire organ oeuvre

As I have mentioned before, Bach and Tournemire's organ oeuvre are the, imho, pinnacle of organ achievement. May God forgive me that I view Bach and Tournemire's organ oeuvre interchangeably as the *Old Testament and New Testament* of organ music.

Humbly,

CD

Hear Hear !

Aloha Aristide,

You indeed may - Oh the world would be so much poorer if Bach and Tournemire had never graced this world.

Cheerio,

There was a project to that effect back in 1979 (i.e. the 40th anniversary of Tournemire's death), to be co-sponsored by several (French speaking) public radio houses: France, Belgium, Switzerland, and Canada.

Alas, there was a big local obstacle in Rouen that prevented the project from being carried out.

Aloha acc,

WOW!!! So close yet no cigar

Well, we are five years from the 75th Anniversary

Cheerio,
