The great organ of Saint-Sulpice: how did we come to this incredible instrument?
Since ancient times, the so-called “King of Instruments” has evolved considerably. The “organ machine” has become increasingly complex and enriched over the ages. Let us retrace this large fresco by taking as an illustration the great Clicquot – Cavaillé-Coll organ in Saint-Sulpice.
Presentation by Stéphane Molina.
Improvisations by Sophie-Véronique Cauchefer-Choplin, assistant organist of the great organ.
With the participation of Julien Bouvier, percussions.
