I realize I am probably prejudiced because I am Canadian, but having a French speaking Casavant employee who is also an organist describe the nuances about each of the voices has to make this one of your best videos.

While the room is the most important stop in any organ, the stops of this organ are wonderful. It’s the best Casavant I’ve ever heard. The homages to the English and French Schools integrate beautifully to create a one of a kind masterpiece. Bravo Casavant Frères!

I keep scrolling back to 13:27. That 16' Principal has to be my favorite stop! It warms me like a glass of oak barrel aged red wine.

Well said!

Wow! This has to be one of the most impressive Casavant organs I’ve ever heard.The voicing of the stops are excellent! What a wonderful instrument!

A very well planned instrument and a stunning re-invention of the room! This organ is eclectic, expressive and very complete.

Best and most diverse Casavant I’ve ever heard! What a beauty!!!!

Brent, the videos just keep getting better and better! I look forward to a new organ each Sunday

This is one of the most well-thought-out and beautifully finished instruments I have heard in a very long time. It somehow manages to have multiple tonal personalities and a huge palette of sounds while remaining absolutely cohesive. Stunning. It’s also one of the finest demonstrations I’ve seen from someone who not only intimately understands the instrument but reveals himself to be quite the talented organist. I wonder what happened to the Schlicker? I’m sure the Casavant is a better instrument in nearly every regard and realize there is often no love lost for organ reform movement organs, but I happen to like a good example of that era and I’m sure the Schlicker qualified. It makes you wonder why it wasn’t given the same opportunities in terms of the room (bringing the Great out of the chambers, removing the carpet in the sanctuary, etc.). I hope it found a good home.

Sadly, there is no OHS entry for the Schlicker.

I'm curious myself. I'm guessing it was an instrument from the 60's - 70's, not the best period for Schlicker. We have one locally - it has strenghts, but subtlety is not among them. A large solo division by Austin (in the old choir gallery) helps.

Holy Cow, what a fantastic organ!!!!!!! Casavant Frères 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Bravo à Casavant et à Dany Wiseman pour l'excellente présentation de cet instrument. N. Genest from Québec city.

Absolutely amazing! Not only the organ, but this video!

The more keyboards, pre-set/thumb pistons, stops, and toe studs/ toe pistons just doubles the fun and experience of playing the organ! 😁 I love it❤️

Nice organ!!!! So many besutiful colors and great balance and sympathy between the stops

Just wonderful!

Fantastic video! And love this organ. My college had a Casavant. Loved playing it.

Lovely, and delightfully colorful. Great service playing instrument. I would have never thought of a 16’ English Horn as the 16’ reed in the swell. I know some builders have used a 16’ Bass Clarinet as the swell 16’ reed.

So much to love Just listening again! Lovely blend and color. I could do without the top rank Of the Great mixture and without the high pitched swell mixture Other than that... Heaven on a stick I'm hearing Hook & Hastings Kimball and Cavaille Coll with a Skinner French Horn ... lol

I love the way he pronounces Baa ton Rouge. Wonderful francophonie. In fact the fact that we have the French-built and -designed organ in a city and state very proud of its French heritage and living culture, introduced in this video by the French executive from Casavant Fréres and the wonderful Quebecois project manager also from the company who so ably and wonderfully demonstrates the organ and its capacities and its musical beauty. I can think of no better way of advertising the capacities of this company than sending this gentleman out to demonstrate it and be able to discuss its capacities. In fact if I ever am in a position to have a say in selecting a fine pipe organ for either a church or concert hall, Casavant Fréres will be at the top of my list. One thing I am remembering if my memory is correct or not, isn’t the organ at the Busch-Reisinger Museum at Harvard University a Casavant Fréres instrument? Also, I had the privilege of being able to play briefly on the wonderful new organ in the newly constructed concert hall in Sapporo, Japan and my recollection is not only was it from a French company and that it might also be from Casavant. Am I correct or not?

Bravo!

Nice instrument. I love the design✅

yay!!... the was awesome.

29:50 - 4' piccolo (swell) used as solo stop 31:18 - nazard and tierce (swell); comparison of swell cornet décomposé with great cornet 51:59 - Flute celeste (choir), box open then box closed 55:27 - French horn solo (on choir) with céleste (on swell) - I haven't ever heard a stop quite like this French horn before! 59:54 - viole céleste 1:12:57 - demo of the split pedals (celeste + bass pedal + solo flute pedal)

Between Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, and Louisiana I am waiting for some Arkansas organs to show up on your channel.

Can you do one on National Cathedral and N Street Village Lutheran Church in Washington, DC and Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Vienna, VA.

Rolls instead of pipe tuners on the lower end? I can see that changing in the future.

Can we hear the organ WITH the parish choir ?

Here is a video from the Sanctuary Dedication service the church had to celebrate this wonderful instrument! You can also access the church's full KZread Channel from the link below, and find other videos of the organ in all its full glory! kzread.info/dash/bejne/g4Z4rsR6Zb2_lLg.html

@carolinetyler are you a parishioner? This is a fantastic service. I live in New Orleans but would make the trek to experience a service!

Then if you go to Florida, check out the Kirk if Dunedin pipe organ.

Oh and Willis Tuba

Must be nice. Most churches only have old digital junk,
