In something of a miracle, the huge fire that ravaged the Paris landmark on April 15, 2019 did almost no serious damage to the 8,000-pipe Grand Organ; the major problem is that lead dust from the melted roof covered and coated every part of the instrument, and cleaning up a neurotoxin is no easy matter. But of the smaller Choir Organ, at the other end of the church, only the metal pipes could be saved. In a Q&A, Notre-Dame titular organist Olivier Latry talks about the progress of the repairs. – Vox Humana
