Iliz Itron Varia Gwitreg - HFF

Iliz Itron Varia Gwitreg - HFF
Les grandes-orgues de l'église Notre-Dame de Vitré (15-16° s.), construites en 1851 par Ducroquet pour l'exposition universelle de Londres, remportèrent à cette occasion la grande médaille d'or. Acquis en 1852, l'instrument, juché au revers de la façade occidentale de l'église Notre-Dame sur une tribune renaissance datée de 1639 et agrémentée d'une rambarde néogothique, est logé dans un buffet ogival.

The Grand Organs of Our-Lady-of-Vitré (15th-16th C.), built in 1851 by Ducroquet for the London World Fair, won the grand gold medal on this occasion. Acquired in 1852, the instrument, perched on the reverse side of the western facade of Notre-Dame Church on a Renaissance platform dated 1639 and embellished with a neogothic railing, is housed in an ogival buffet.

Eine schöne Orgel in einem beeindruckenden Gebäude!
Die Orgel hat Charles Spackman Barker gebaut, der für die Firma Ducroquet arbeitete. Die Firma gehörte vorher Barker, der pleite ging, nachdem er durch ein Missgeschick die Orgel von Saint-Eustache in Paris in Brand setzte. Barker war der Erfinder der sogenannten Barkerhebel.
HFF, Christa, und ein schönes 4. Adventswochenende!

Wilhelm, vielen Dank für diese Informationen, das wusste ich nicht. Obwohl ich meine, im Museum Carnavalet über die Geschichte von Paris darüber etwas gelesen zu haben; ich glaube, es war ein Holzschnitt. Ich habe aber nicht die Verbindung mit der Orgel in Vitré gesehen. Ebenfalls einen gemütlichen 4. Advent und frohe Weihnachtstage.
