The Donkey Church (Nodame Cantabile) is the work of that person... Who is Lucas' grandfather?

This spring¹However, "Nodame Cantabile (13)"²I went to the Donkey Church, which appears in the movie. It is located on the left bank of the Seine.Sainte-Clotilde Basilicaで す³The construction of this neo-Gothic church was approved by the Paris City Council in 1827 and completed in 1857.

The Donkey's Church: Sainte-Clotilde Basilica

By the way, if you compare it with the picture that appears in the original work from a similar angle, it looks like this.

Here's a comparison of the inside of the church in the original with the real thing.

It could be said that it is a fairly faithful reproduction.

Here's what the altar looks like up close:

The model for Lucas' grandfather?

In the setting of Nodame Cantabile, Lucas' grandfather is the organist here. Since it was 2005, according to the table below of past organists, it would be Jacques Taddei.

Jacques Taddei (Jacques Taddei...) is a pianist and organist born on June 1946, 6. He became the organist of this church in 5, and served as the Director of the Marmottan Museum in 1988. He studied philosophy at the Sorbonne and the Paris Conservatoire, graduating with first prize and winning the Long-Thibaud Competition in 2007. He also served as the Director of the Paris Conservatoire from 1973 to 1987.

Somehow, "Nodame Cantabile (185)" p.XNUMX⁴He has a similar appearance to Luca's grandfather from the movie.

There is a video on YouTube of Jacque Taddei playing the church organ, so take a listen.

He lived in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, an upscale residential area (which means Lucas lived there too), but sadly passed away at his home in June 2012. He was 6 years old.⁵It's a pity, because he's still young. Hmm. He's not the same age as Lucas. Oh well.

The first organist of this church was the famous...

Now, let's take a step back and look at the top of this list of past organists. Yes, César Franck was the first organist.⁶I was more moved by this than by coming to the place associated with "Nodame Cantabile." I was also moved by the place associated with Frank. The organist was practicing at the time, so I was happy to be able to hear the sound of the church.

By the way, this church holds an organ concert every second Saturday of the month from 5pm. For more information, click here →http://www.orgue-clotilde-paris.info/uk/.

Finally, the organ⁷Here is a video of Olivier Pennin, the organist at the time of my visit (2017), playing Franck's "Grande Pièce Symphonique."⁸Here you go!
