Ben Van Oosten-Widor 3rd Symphony-Marcia-St.Francois-de-Sales

[allenvaughan1]

C-C's philosophy created more tonal capabilities: 8' Montre and 8' Flute harmonique, could be considered the major ranks, with the 8' Bourdon and 8' Gamba/Salicional/Violoncelle-d­epending on the division these stops are located-could be the minor chorus. Montres exhibit some of the octave, while the Flute harmonique has a trace of the sub-octave. Pulling both gives you a new, full tone. Bourdons with an arched upper lip creates quintiness. Gambas or Sals 'fill' the upper harmonic train.

I believe I heard Daniel Roth explain once that Widor was the "Provisional" organst at St. Sulpice, not "titular" organist, as lllmozartlll mentioned previously. One of the critical elements of a C-C organ is the efficiency with which he created with much less (in the total number of ranks/stops) than that of English and American organs. A 30-rank C-C organ is more versatile than a 75 rank Willis. Probably 2/3's of the power of C-C organs is from the 16'/8' trumpet and trumpette harmonique

wow! this is crap.!!

Widor’s first four organ symphonies, published as Opus 13, were completed by 1872, less than two years after he assumed his duties as titular organist of the magnificent Cavaillé-Coll at St. Sulpice. Here we listen to the 3rd Movement of the 3rd Symphony, the 'Marcia': a glorious, colorful and assertive piece of organ music. Wonderful interpretation by Ben van Oosten who has choosen one of the finest Cavaillé-Coll for this brilliant recording.

One of my favorite C-C's.

@a55b47 I think Cavaille Colls are the greatest every built. I mean the sound of them I dont think can be compared with.

Great post! I have loved this March since a friend introduced me to it years ago. It is not played often enough. I have 2 versions of this symphony, an earlier version with a much shorter March movement. Very useful for processionals when you need all that naughty noise! Predictable but still very grand symphonic ending.

[arthursymes1]

yeah I think ben van oosten is very talented indeed well done!

[vleermuisje2]

Ben van Oosten op zijn best.

En dan ook nog eens meesterlijke muziek van Charles Marie Widor gespeeld op het machtige, prachtige Cavaille Coll orgel van de St. Francois-de-Sales.

Hartelijk dank voor het plaatsen op You Tube.
