Just been listening to the series of organ symphonies, as recorded by Joseph Nolan, on the great and wonderful Cavaille-Coll organ of La Madeleine, Paris. We are certainly really spoilt by the sumptuous richness of the sound of this organ!

Be interested to hear anyone's experience of this recording and others?

Can you post a link to the recording BBM?

PS Is it this one?

Unfortunately I do not know how to apply that. But it is not on Hyperion it's on Signum Classics

I can see the difficulty - the complete set doesn't seem to have been "boxed" (yet) and interested parties have to invest in the five individual CD releases (two symphonies per disc - although Vol 4 requires a two-CD double album with one symphony per disc):

Volume 1 (green cover) which contains Symphonies 6 and 5
