Carillon de Westminster (Pièces de Fantaisie)

Today, it is the last opportunity to celebrate Louis Vierne's 150th birthday … and a chance to show the versatility of the Sauer set from Chemnitz/ Saxony. In fact, French romantic compositions are often heard on the original organ there - confirming the rumor about Wilhelm Sauer being the German Cavaillé-Coll. Of course, a German Schwellwerk is no French Récit - but I refrained from using the HW sub- and super-octave couplers to boost it a little. – Far from being a perfect rendition, I hope you enjoy this experiment. Happy New Year!
