What took You Tube so long to get ahold of this? In the first segment, it says the series was made in 1998. Surely a few million vibrations have gone through those famous pipes since then. But it's certainly interesting, and over time I'll try to plow through the whole set.
Does anyone know how/when/where Roth learned English? He seems to do reasonably well, even if with a rather strong Gallic accent.
It might be interesting to have Roth discuss what playing that organ is like compared to more modern instruments. Without all the pistons, bells, and whistles, it must seem just a bit out-of-date, but he has been doing it since around 1984, so I'm sure he is used to it. Of course, France still has a few others about the same ilk (St. Ouen, St. Sernin, and apparently a few others around Paris itself). The typical (??) American organist would probably need some time to accommodate to those instruments. But Europe seems to be full of organs that have never been really brought up to present-day ideas. They seem to have a different attitude from our idea of 'rebuilding' an organ every so often.
With time, I'll get through the series.
