• 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

I love the pictures of within N D d P, in particular the one of the snoozing priest in the red stained glass window is amazing.

I am always at least a little disappointed by the sound quality of youtube videos/recordings.
How splendid that music MUST sound 'in the flesh' in that building or even through my hi-fi system.

One thing anyone can do to improve the YT sound quality is add "&fmt=18" (without the quotes) to the end of the page URL and refresh the page. Makes a huge difference on better quality recordings like these.

a foot note to Kh's post: I also have a hook up from my computer into my stereo system and that makes a Hude difference in the sound of the videos particularally organ. I also have a virtual organ set up( midi- hauptwerk) through computer and into stero system.. sounds GREAT

I do exactly the same Bill. I always throw away any speakers which come with the computer, and simply plug the computer into the hi-fi.

My hi-fi system is in the next room so I can't do that ... but I did throw out my original PC speaker system and upgraded it to a system that included a sub-woofer. That makes all the difference when listening to any music, especially the pipe organ.

Alternatively, order a copy of the CD from the OHS catalogue:

http://www.ohscatalog.org/granheurlits.html

Sadly, this instrument now sounds rather different - and Cochereau has been dead for a quarter of a century. Still, at least there is the legacy of his numerous recordings.

This will solve the problem of the inferior sound quality of YouTube. Included is a twelve-page booklet, complete with English translation (in addition to French).

The final improvisation (well, before the bells) is short but superbly constructed, directly following Mawby's Alleluia (at 3'.52"). Even the choir do not sound too bad, here.
