Vierne didn't die 'after' a recital - his 1750th there. He had just played the first performance of his Tryptique and was starting an improvisation with a pedal note. That note was all there was as he slumped over the keys dead. Marcel Dupré was assisting at the console and had to remove his foot from the pedal key.

One correction: Vierne's assistant at that recital was Maurice Duruflé (formerly Vierne's student), not Marcel Dupré. After Dupré listed himself as titular organist of Notre Dame when filling in for Vierne during World War I, relations between the two great organists cooled.

It was Durufle

The organ can’t be voiced and tuned until the dust and the noise stop so it’s anyone’s guess when that will be. The rededication of the Cathedral is planned for December 8th, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception.

on the contrary, I heard the head director of the rebuildingof the cathedral saying that the voicing and tuning of the organ is currently being done, but at night, in the silence and peace of the heart of Paris.

So my comment stands. Evidently the technicians must feel that the dust has settled and that it’s quiet during the night to do the voicing and tuning which means it should be ready for the rededication on December 8th.

So does anybody here think it’s outrageous for a later-day organ student like myself to request access to the newly renovated Hazel Wright organ at Christ Cathedral to record homage to some of these guys? I happen to know of two improvisations by Cochereau(sp?) on the original Hazel Wright organ and I wanted to record them -as well as homage to others, including Olivier… preparation for another event in Munich. Just asking what ppl think.

Not at all. In my experience organists in general are very welcoming. Not many people show interest in the instrument, never mind asking to play it. You just have to talk to the right person. The secretary at the front desk might brush you off and tell you to get lost. Usually the organist/music director is the person you want to get ahold of.
