About

From his earliest years onwards, Albert Baron de l’Espée’s thoughts circled round nothing else but the desire to someday be able to call a giant cathedral organ his property - an instrument which would be in no way inferior in scale and grandeur to the largest and most renowned organs of that time.

In 1897, endowed with an unimaginable fortune, ordered an organ from Aristide Cavaillé-Coll with 72 stops for his castle in Ilbarritz.

The idea of this recording is to somehow recreate the atmosphere of an evening concert around this very particular instrument, as itmight have taken place at Château d’Ilbarritz.
