Grand orgue de l'église de la Madeleine
Grand orgue de l'église de la Madeleine, Pipe organ in La Madeleine church, Paris, France
The grand organ of La Madeleine occupies the rear gallery of the church, featuring 58 stops distributed across four manuals and a pedalboard.
The organ was constructed between 1844 and 1846 by Aristide Cavaillé-Coll, marking a transition period in French organ building from classical to romantic style.
Famous musicians including Camille Saint-Saëns, Gabriel Fauré, and Jeanne Demessieux have served as principal organists at La Madeleine church.
The instrument underwent major renovations in 1927, 1957, and 1971, which included the addition of new stops and electrification of certain mechanical components.
The organ contains the first Voix Céleste stop ever installed in a French instrument, setting a new standard for romantic organ registration.
