The poor bastards who have to improvise on 'Come oh ye faithful' after Cochereau just hit this carol into a low orbit around Betelgeuse. This is insane. Insanely awesome.

Incroyable ! Un génie de l'improvisation avec un complice fabuleux : l'orgue de Notre Dame brillant de mille feux.
Pierre COCHEREAU, un MAÎTRE de l'orgue.

The grand organ of notre dame always makes me smile, just the pure power of this organ is absolutely mad.

Love the bombarde at m.136 - this would be a great showy piece for a pianist transitioning to organ as there's not a lot of technical difficulty particularly with pedal but it sure sounds challenging to the ear!

Most furious and best organ piece I've hear 😳

This is by far my favorite arrangement of Adeste Fideles
