  Maximin Isnard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maximin Isnard (1758 - 1825), French revolutionist, was a dealer in perfumery at Draguignan when he was elected deputy for the département of the Var to the Legislative Assembly, where he joined the Girondists.
Attacking the court, and the Austrian committee in the Tuileries, he demanded the disbandment of the king's bodyguard, and reproached Louis XVI for infidelity to the constitution.
The committee, consisting of 25 members, proved unwieldy, and on April 4, Isnard presented, on behalf of the Girondist majority, the report recommending a smaller committee of nine, which two days later was established as the Committee of Public Safety.

 Les 18 Chorals de Leipzig by Pierre Bardon at jsbach.org
I was already familiar with organ and organist through some splendid recordings on the Pierre Verany label ("Louis Claude D'Aquin, Livre d'Orgue" [PV783122] and "Les Organistes du Roy Soleil" [PV784011]), so I had high expectations for this production as well.
As on the aforementioned recordings, the Isnard organ is captured here in all its stately glory.
In the accompanying booklet, Pierre Bardon imagines a meeting between Isnard and Bach, both of whom seem to have had a similar attitude towards their creative output.

 Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels
The new organ utilizes slider chests with electric pulldowns for all manual divisions except the Solo and Pedal, which have electro-pneumatic action.
These divisions are conceived of in the spirit of Isnard's 1772 Resonance division at St. Maximin: the Solo is a division of powerful voices, many of which are made playable in the Pedal, which has few independent voices of its own.
The organ is controlled from a moveable console that has four keyboards, or "manuals".

Marchand at St. Maximin The glorious 1775 Isnard 4m, exquisitely restored by Yves Cobourdin over four years ending in 1995, becomes the ideal vehicle for the informed and informing performance by Bernard Coudurier and his associates as recorded on this brand new 2-CD set.
Their fascinating assembly of these pieces into a likely contemporary liturgical context, alternating with plainchant, and freely selecting parts from the five books of music left to us by Louis Marchand, brings a generous vitality so absent from other presentations of these works.
