Скачать или смотреть Louis Vierne - Impromptu (André Isoir, Saint Sernin, Toulouse)

This lovely little piece, entitled "Impromptu", is the second of six pieces which form Suite III of Louis Vierne's Vingt-Quatre Pièces de Fantaisie, Opus 54.

This recording is taken from an old 1970 LP - long out of print - called "Modern French Organ Music" which was recorded by André Isoir (b.1935) with Jean-Claude Raynaud at the Basilica of Saint Sernin in Toulouse. This recording is doubly interesting in that it gives an insight into the sound of the 1888 Cavaillé-Coll organ at Saint-Sernin before the somewhat controversial restoration of 1996-97. I do not seek to take sides in that particular debate and ask that you please refrain from stirring up further controversy. Enjoy the music! A particular thank you must go to American theatre organist Llewellyn ("Lew") Williams (of the Organ Stop Pizza restaurant, Mesa, Arizona, with its four-manual, 78-rank Wurlitzer), who sent me this fantastic recording.
