Église Saint-Antoine-des-Quinze-Vingts
the primary organ
This great organ comes from the instrument built
by the renown Aristide Cavaille-Coll in 1894 for the mansion of Baron Espée.
It was moved from the Baron's residence on
Avenue Bois de Boulogne to Saint-Antoine in 1909.
You can click here to listen to a short piece on this organ.
Like many churches, there is a second organ,
a practice organ for the choir, which I will show you another time.

Yes, I would need some practice before subjecting a larger crowd to the noise I could make on this instrument. :-)
Bet it sounds as good as it looks
That is a magnificent organ. My dad plays, so I'm sure he'd love the chance to get around that.
I enjoy to know that some churches regularly offer public concerts... I'd like to listen one, I guess they're impressive! This organ is beautiful, resembles a church itself.
A beautiful organ. Thanks for the video. Tom The Backroads Traveller
A wonderful organ - with a history.
