Neil Wright plays the restored 1904 Cavaillé-Coll 2-17 of Farnborough Abbey of St. Michael, hidden on the Hampshire Surrey border, where the Empress Eugénie, crushed by exile and the loss of her husband and son, commissioned a mausoleum and monastery to bury the Emperor Napoleon III and the Prince Imperial. Benedictines bought the organ in 1904 from Charles Mutin and had it restored by Klais in 2002.
