Cavaille-Coll, Aristide (sh)




born Feb. 4, 1811, Montpellier, France
died Oct. 13, 1899, Paris

French organ builder.

He settled in Paris in 1833 at Gioacchino Rossini's suggestion and with his brother and father built almost 500 organs in France, Belgium, The Netherlands, and elsewhere, including those in the Paris churches of Notre-Dame, La Madeleine, Ste. Clotilde, and La Trinite. With the goal of achieving an orchestral richness and variety of timbre, he introduced countless innovations; he is regarded as the creator of the French Romantic organ (which had great influence elsewhere as well), and composers such as Cesar Franck, Camille Saint-Sa? ns, and Olivier Messiaen wrote particularly with the Cavaille-Coll sound in mind.
