These recordings were my introduction to the Organ Symphonies of Widor about 50 years ago. It is hard to believe that Labric is still living as I write this. I hope to visit this church finally in April 2024. One of my meccas and one of the finest organs in the world.
@@richardouellette8785 Mondays is the church closed... You should take more time for this wonderful town, St Ouen isn't the only interesting church and there's a lot to see there. By the way, there are 10 Cavaillé-Coll organs in this place, and only a few minutes from St Ouen is the church St Godard with 2 Cavaillé-Coll organs where is also a Festival in April with a concert for example with Olivier Penin on 20th at 8 pm. Also the church Notre Dame de Bonsecours has a beautiful Cavaillé-Coll organ. So maybe you can change your program to have a few highlights, only if you would be there Saturday/Sunday 20th/21st, you could hear two concerts and Sunday at 10pm a service in Notre Dame de Bonsecours... 😊

The organ is now covered because of the restoration of the front of the church but the organ will be played in concerts on each Sunday at 5 pm:)
@@chatulacartusiana17 a shame that I will miss that then. I arrive Monday afternoon and leave on Tuesday.
