Louis Claude Daquin - Noël X (Organ in Saint Maximin)

The organ in Basilique Sainte-Marie-Madeleine, Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume (Var), was built by Jean-Esprit Isnard, and his nephew Joseph Isnard in 1772, and is probably the finest classical French organ still preserved. Here it’s played by the legendary Pierre Bardon, titulaire émérite. Composition sonore / Stop List: I.
