Le grand orgue (The Great Organ)
Saint-Étienne-du-Mont
Place Sainte-Geneviève
Quartier de la Sorbonne, 5th arrondissement
Paris, July 2002
“In 1636, the organ, built by Pierre Pescheur, was installed. When the organ was damaged by fire in 1760, it was rebuilt by Cliquot. Further work was carried out in 1863 by Cavaillé-Coll, and the present instrument is the work of further revision by Beuchet-Debierre in 1956. The case of the organ of the tribune was made beginning in 1633 by Jean Buron, and is the oldest and best-preserved original case in Paris. It is topped by sculpture of Christ surrounded by angels playing the kinnor, an ancient Hebrew variation of the lyre.” (Saint-Étienne-du-Mont, Wikipedia)
