Vincent Dubois, one of the three organiste titulairs at Notre Dame de Paris, released a statement that began “Contrary to rumors that have circulated, the great organ is, a priori, saved. There are a few puddles on the left and right, but nothing dramatic. ”
Wonderful news. Let’s hope they can get access quickly before the elements do it in and they can get it out of there. However, does anybody have a status on the Orgue d’Choeur? It was much closer to the fire and the falling debris, water, heat etc. Let’s hope if faired well.
Thank God! That is wonderful, almost miraculous, news!
This great news warms my heart as I’ve been grieving over the destructive fire at the Cathedral of Notre Dame since I first learned of it. The famed and historic organ is the heart of this magnificent historical structure that is fortunately still beating!
