The lead visual has nothing to do with Notre-Dame, the photo is clearly taken at the Basilika of Weingarten, where this piece would be totally unplayable ... Brave and decent attempt at Reubke´s 94th Psalm though ... Nevertheless, please check your credentials and attune them to your performance, thanks!
If the timeline for the restoration of the Cathedral is on time she will. The organ will be ready. It is undergoing a meticulous restoration in the finest organ workshops in France. It will be like new, maybe even better. For sure it will be clean and lead free!
@@brucetominello325 this statement "lead free" sounds very odd for me. I was my whole life in organs and don't imagine how people are crazy to don't do such obvious things due to ......what? Cleaner environment? It is the same fake like "clean" electric car. But yeah, that's true. Even if all people die because of covid, vaccines and now maybe some war we will have something it will last next hundreds years. Pipes only. Be serious we have to pray for good timing of this job.
@@tomasznowak7983 i might not have made myself clear. I know that the pipes are made with lead. I was referencing the lead dust that rained down. That is the lead that will be removed. The pipes are being cleaned not replaced.
@@brucetominello325 thanks for that. I red long time ago some article about this organ but I forgot about the all reported damages. Now I understand you wrote about lead it was falling from the roof. It was big tragedy not only for organists bur for whole world culture. I had occasion to play on ND organ but it was something like 1990. I played some events in Grenoble and surroundings and I travelled back through Paris. Dome people help me to arrange it. I'm big fun of French instruments classic and romantic. This culture (building organ) it was certainly mostly European (continental) achievement as well as organ music.
@@tomasznowak7983 You are welcome. I look forward to being there when it’s all finished and back where it belongs. I will be in Paris in a few weeks and will certainly go to ND to view the progress on the reconstruction. It will be both depressing and hopeful. Sadly the CC organ in the choir was completely destroyed by the fire and cannot be replaced but they will need something there, Hopefully there are records and a replica can be created. The Jurine company in France builds really good instruments based on the classic and romantic styles. They eve built one for a church in S Korea. There’s a recording of it on You Tube with Thomas Ospital putting it through its’ paces.
