Le sauvetage de l'orgue italien Wilhelm, op. 129

This episode, mostly in French, will put you you up to date to the moving of the historical Italian organ Wilhelm op. 129 from Très Saint-Rédempteur to Sainte-Catherine de Sienne this year. You are going to hear from the following contributors: Aldéo Jean, former titular organist at the now closed parish of Très-Saint-Rédempteur; Karl Raudsepp and Mark Altosaar, Estonian born and Canada based organ builders who are coordinating the move, Julien Girard, president of the Montréal chapter of the Friends of the Organ association, and Rev. Jean-Pierre Couturier, pastor of Sainte-Catherine de Sienne parish, who imagined the entire operation and who inspired his community to save this instrument. Congratulations to the Sainte-Catherine de Sienne community and to Rev. Couturier for their willingness to save the instrument and their leadership. Video montage to come.
