• Welcome to the Pipe Organ Forum! This is a part of the open community Magle International Music Forums focused on pipe organs (also known as "church organs"), organists, organ music and related topics.

    This forum is intended to be a friendly place where technically advanced organists and beginners (or even non-organists) can feel comfortable having discussions and asking questions. We learn by reading and asking questions, and it is hoped that the beginners (or non-organists) will feel free to ask even the simplest questions, and that the more advanced organists will patiently answer these questions. On the other hand, we encourage complex, technical discussions of technique, music, organ-building, etc. The opinions and observations of a diverse group of people from around the world should prove to be interesting and stimulating to all of us.

    As pipe organ discussions can sometimes become lively, it should be pointed out that this is an open forum. Statements made here are the opinion of the poster, and not necessarily that of the forum itself, its administrator, or its moderators.

    In order to post a new topic - or reply to existing ones - you may join and become a member by clicking on Register New User. It's completely free and only requires a working email address (in order to confirm your registration - it will never be given away!). We strive to make this a friendly and informative forum for anyone interested in pipe organs and organ music.

    Many kind regards

Does being C-C's opus 1 give somebody a hammerlock on pictures of it? I tried to download 2-3 of those pictures, and they won't download. Interesting, because there are tons of pictures around of other C-C organs, or at least the ones that still exist in some corrupted form.

Funny — when one clicks on the first link on that page ("ifo records"), one gets to a page displaying the other recent recording (by Jürgen Geiger) at the same organ. :smirk:

I'll certainly get the Geiger CD, if only to have a sound document of the Dargassies restoration. I've not yet decided about the Pincemaille — I'm afraid my buying lust is still somewhat pinned against the ground by my disappointment of his Widor and Franck sets... :cry:

You don't understand this latin sentence which simply means there is no matter of discussion when one speaks of his own taste...Actually, the sense is: I leave you with your own opinion...

On the contrary, opinions are there to be shared! Otherwise, what are forums for? :)

Besides, you're most welcome:tiphat: to share your own opinion with us (about the Messiaen, the Widor, the Franck, or anything else for that matter).


(As for the Latin phrase, your claim of me not understanding it may come from a confusion between the English verb "to dispute" and the French verb "disputer" — although they are of course akin, the former's connotation is much closer to the Latin original than the latter's.)
