I've read a lot of those who listened to it live and in the media were shocked and even angry at the incredibly fine display of French style organ improvisation, some complained that it was "inappropriate" because it wasn't simple and melodic - I suppose they'd have preferred cocktail lounge Hammond style stuff. The expressions on the face of the Archbishop showed just how appropriate it was to the place and occasion. It was a full display of great musicianship in the French style, as it should have been. Wish I could have been there, even the glimpses of Trump and Musk didn't do much to spoil listening to it. I wonder if fat ass was listening to a recording of himself in the ear plug he had plugged into. It is such a national disgrace to have him representing the United States.
