César Franck~Prelude, Fugue and Variations Op.18

[apollonmusagete]

Une suite très belle et expressive ! Il y a aussi une version d'opus 18 pour le piano par Harold Bauer (SONY SK 58 914, avec Paul Crossley, pianiste).

this is played by Jean Gouillou from the Saint-Eustache curch at Paris in 1990 :D

素晴らしすぎて、言葉にならない。特にフーガの部分がピアノでは­表せない表現力に脱帽。この、ＣＤを１０年以上前に購入してから­、ずっと聴き続けている。もし、自分が死んだ時、流して欲しいと­心から願っている。

I find it a bit rushed. But it's beautifully played none the less. Thank you for uploading :)

For me the best organist, he plays as it should be on an organ.

Now ypu ca hear the sound and the acoustic quality. Timeless .

@japansekip The best organist? Do you too find Michael Murray to be just about the greatest thing that ever happened to the 'organ world'? He's my favorite organist anyway... :)

[japansekip]

@codeman2008 Hello, i have something played by Murray. Mabe it wasnt as sensibel as this cd from Cesar Franck on the organ from Eustachius.

[RUFUSREX]

The best!

[0jann0]

I did this ;)

[robertcouturier]

absolutely sublime, not sure which is the best organ or piano... both deeply moving.

[codeman2008]

@robertcouturier You know, Franck originally wrote this as a piano-organ duet. Most people are familiar with either the organ solo or piano solo versions but the first version was a piano organ duet! I have a video of the duet on my channel. It's not the best performance by a long shot, but it'll give you an idea! :-)

@codeman2008 dear codeman,

it's originally wrote as piano-harmonium duet and later for organ and violin, harp and piano duet

[codeman2008]

@coletnierop Yes, piano-harmonium, or reed organ. That edition is often used as piano-pipe organ duet all the same. There is a version for piano solo as well. ;-)
