The great Cavaillé-Coll organ of the Saint-Sulpice church in Paris has a new ‘titulaire’.

He is Karol Mossakowski, 32, from Katowice, serving until recently at the cathedral in Lille.

He will share the prestigious post with Sophie-Véronique Choplin.

    Sounds scatological to me.

    Daniel Roth will continue as titular emeritus (playing once a month). With Sophie-Véronique Cauchefer-Choplin and Karol Mossakowski as co-titulars there is a formidable trio of performers and improvisors for the mechanical action Cavaillé-Coll organ.
    There are excellent videos of organ performances on Pierre-François Dub-Attenti’s youtube channel.
    There are also an two additional organists in charge of the choir organ.
