Christmas again, and time for another Noël by Louis-Claude Daquin. The tenth noël is played quite often, but the tonal palette of this instrument makes the experience a bit different from what most of us are used to hear. I have used the words fiery and cheerful before, and I think I will use them again.
The organ in Basilique Sainte-Marie-Madeleine, Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume (Var), was built by Jean-Esprit Isnard, and his nephew Joseph Isnard in 1772, and is probably the finest classical French organ still preserved. Here it's played by the legendary Pierre Bardon, titulaire émérite.
