5.0 �toiles sur 5 Woulda-Coulda-Shoulda: The greatest Organ that never was! 4 janvier 2012

Par Anthony L. Vallillo Jr. - Publi� sur Amazon.com

Format:Reli�

If there is one place in Europe that I have spent more time in than Paris it is the Eternal City. Often have I wandered the incredible expanse of the world's largest church, and on occasion I have been there when the organ is playing. This has always been an elusive pleasure, since the organ in St. Peter's, although no doubt large by most standards, is painfully inadequate for the task it faces; that is, filling the world's largest liturgical volume with sound. In fact, although the effect can sometimes be ethereal, it usually sounds like a walkman playing in a concert hall! If only Cavaille-Coll had been given a shot at St. Peter's!

Much to my surprise, that had almost happened! It was some years ago when I discovered that C-C had actually drawn up plans for what would, at the time, have been the world's largest organ. The fascinating story of that most monumental "woulda-coulda-shoulda been" is told here by organ virtuoso and music historian Ron Ebrecht. Ron weaves history, culture, and even politics (yes, strange as it may seem this story is rife with politics and the 19th century version of political correctness!) into a well crafted narrative that is difficult to put down once you start. You will meet the many and fascinating personalities involved in the story, and you will wonder, as I have, at "what might have been" had this potential masterpiece actually come to fruition. More's the pity that it did not, but by all means let Ron tell the story -- he writes as well as he plays. Don't miss it!

This book was very interesting, explaining the political reasons why Cavaille-Coll did not obtain the contract to build world largest organ for the Saint Peter basilica in Rome. However, I was disappointed, for not having any technical description or drawing of the proposed organ. Only the stop list was given. Also several other large organs and other organ proposals for Saint Peter were mentioned in the book, but all without specification.
