CD
‘Hommage aux maîtres de Sainte Clotilde’
The first CD of the Great Organ of Sainte Clotilde after its restoration in 2005
On September 28, 2013, Olivier Penin presented his new CD, a tribute to his
famous predecessors, among which Cesar Franck, Charles Tournemire and Jean
Langlais.
The organ of Ste.Clotilde was built in 1853-1859 by the famous organ builder
Aristide Cavaillé-Coll and modified and enlarged several times. In 2005, the organ
builder Dargassies reconstructed the original symphonic character of the
instrument, while keeping some of the neo-symphonic additions of 1932 and
1962 and adding another 10 stops, resulting in an instrument of 71 stops.
This CD, released by Festivo, is the first demonstrating this fine instrument after
the restoration. It features works by Franck, Pierné, Ermend Bonnal, Tournemire,
Duruflé, Langlais and Cogen.
