Mon cher Jacques, a ma grande honte, je n'avais jamais remarque cet album qui, il est vrai, date de 2006. Mais quel chef-d'oeuvre ! Combien merite est ce logo featured qui l'estampille. Du grand art, un theme original, des prises de vue remarquables. Un vrai tresor du patrimone, un document digne des meilleurs livres ! N'en jetez plus, la cour est pleine... Tous ces eloges sont absolument sinceres et, comme je vous le disais dans le precedent message, je suis ebahi par vos talents multidisciplinaires et ce, a tres haut niveau. A nouveau toutes mes felicitations, mon cher Jacques... Avec toute mon admiration. Mes plus chaleureuses amities, a vous et a Pierre. Au fait, comment va votre jambe ? A tres bientot. Martial

Congratulations on being featured today. I put on my Organ CD and listened to Bach's Toccata in D minor and Buxtehude - Prelude in C and Liszt's Prelude and Fuge on B-A-C-H and turned on your slide show and imagined myself in those grand buildings with this incredible music - a real uplifting treat!! Thanks for sharing your photos.

Jacques, there is no better divine music than from a good organ, played well. I am sure you'd have heard many of the featured ones in your album here. Since you also play the organ, it must have a special meaning and experience for you to be able to see the some of the rare and impressive ones. I have enjoyed this album even whe you came out with it the first time, as I know, it lies close to your heart. I had been to China for the past few days, and right now I am sitting in Hong Kong airport lounge. Wish you all the very best, Suresh

said suresh_krishna 11 months 27 days ago

A very impressive collection! The walk through this album was all pleasure!! In my childhood my father restored the prospect, the outside of the huge Barock organ in my hometown's church in Germany. This gave me the love to organs. It was a lot of work and took weeks. At those times my 4 brothers, sisters and I were helping my father at work after school often till late in the evening. But I am just talking . . . . CONGRATULATIONS on being featured with this jewel! - Galit

Très cher Jacques, vous nous éblouissez avec ces merveilleuses images des grandes orgues d'Europe. La musique qu'elles doivent déverser dans nos oreilles doit sûrement équivaloir à leur majesté.

said ladybug591 11 months 28 days ago

C'est magnifique! As one who is moved by the architecture of the great cathedrals, and by the majesty of pipe organ music, I had found your albums previously. But it warmed my heart to see this album featured today. The beauty of these churches and these musical instruments is a tribute to the depth of man's faith through the centuries. Their power and glory are captured by your camera, and even more by your heart, which must certainly be tuned to notes divine and harmonies sublime! Thank you so much for allowing us beautiful glimpses into these sacred spaces!

Congratulations my friends. I haven't seen any grand organ in a cathedral till now. In Vietnam, even the oldest and biggest Cathedral ( though was built by French ) doesn't have any of these kinda organs. I'm longing to see them in Europe. Thanks.

Great pictures here! I can put on a CD of French organ music and look at these pictures and imagine I'm THERE! I'm not the world's greatest organist, either. At least I get to play a real pipe organ in my church, but it's much smaller! (joan from terrynjoan)

said terrynjoan 2008.02.25 at 17:25:30 PST

Dear Jacques, thank you so very much for spending so much time on my Bavarian album and for your generous comments. They always mean so much to me as I greatly respect your views. I chose this album to write this because I thought of you when I saw the beautiful rococo organ in Wieskirche, Bavaria. I was not fortunate to hear it being played, but from what I hear it has a very melodious sound. I would be happy if you would add the photograph of that organ in this album (only if you so desire). Thank you once again. My best wishes to Pierre and you. Suresh

said bowlingranny2 2007.04.25 at 13:07:23 PDT

The beauty of the facades of these marvelous instruments hides the thousands of pipes necessary to create the angel sounds that come from these magnificent instruments. I have a cassette tape of the master E. Power Biggs, who plays some of the very instruments shown here. Thanks to you and your wonderful collection of fotos, I can view this album and listen to the magnicient sounds emminateing from them. I was minister of music for my parish church that has a 5,000 pipe organ, the comparison, of course is small, but I enjowed playing it immensely. I would give my heart to be able to sit at the ranks of these. Thank you so much for the opportunity to see them. Ron, Massachusetts

Bravo Jacques et merci pour ces magnifiques photos. Je suis fan de photos d'orgues et consacre un blog où je mets en lignes les meilleurs clichés trouvés sur le WEB au moyen de notes personnalisées avec bien sûr les références du photographes. Dans cet esprit j'aimerais faire une note à votre nom avec une sélection de vos meilleures photos (à dire vrai le majorité).

Hello Jacques, I came to visit as I saw your comment on todays feature as to where you are at this moment after 4 days in BA. I am following you in 10 days time but only 2 days in BA, off to the GWC fr Ush! Great photos in this album of a very unusual subject, you are very talented to be able to play at all. I am tone deaf! LOL. You will have to venture across the channel one day to see some of our great organs. Not only church organs but also in Norfolk there is a museum with many fairground organs & a wurlitzer. Eric

said ericy202 2006.11.25 at 09:47:17 PST

Hi Jacques! I really enjoyed your captions that went along with the Grand Organ photos. I played the piano and an organ for a few years at church, but the organ always caused me problems with my foot not wanting to follow the music!!! :-)) I'd have to play with my shoe off! Thanks for this beautiful album and also thanks for the kind comment on the photo from Telluride, Colorado. Glad you've been there. Sharon from Missouri

Dear Jacques and Pierre! I have already seen this album in Fotki and commented on this extensively. I think this is one of the best albums I have seen of the collection of organs from various parts of the world. I know much effort would have gone into compiling this. And, as usual, the captions are very illuminating. Thank you for posting it on the webshots too. Best wishes, Suresh

said suresh_krishna 2006.10.31 at 05:27:20 PST

Ciao Jacques, this magnifacant reportage about grand organs is another great job of yours. Very rarely J have ever seen such beauty shots about parts of churchs.

Apres avoir contacte Webshots j'ai appris que d'ici 4 semaines ils vont reprendre la parution des albums ranges par ordre du nombre de vues quotidiennes.
