Maurice Duruflé - Fugue sur le thème du Carillon

[xtamsin]

Nice playing but slightly too fast and mechanical for me and needs more tender moments

[flentrop2009]

@xtamsin If Durufle wanted tender moments he would have asked for them in the score. And the tempo is actually pretty close to spot on.

[xtamsin]

@flentrop2009 thats a pretty mean reply. i said it was too mechanical for me, just my opinion. i'm not criticising the playing at all.

[flentrop2009]

@xtamsin Sorry about that. My point was just that Durufle wanted his music played a certain way. Tender moments wouldn't have been so appropriate in this piece. Sorry if I offended.

His use of the 64' Ophicleide on the last chord makes this my favorite recording! All in favor say I!

[rkolabhai]

A little too mechanical for my liking, and the acoustic is horrible. Not sure if I agree with the slurred chords just before the final bars being so staccato, it kind of breaks with the rest of the legatissimo. Very good job memorizing the piece, though.

ok, this fugue starts with three voices, not normal, but it`s really a fugue. So I played it ;-)

Is that really unusual? So many of Bach's fugues are in 3 voices...his are 2-5 voices.

[gurkentopf13]

i know , what you mean. this fugue starts with three voice!!!

a normal fugue starts with one voice(the subjekt) then the answer and the contrapunkt and so on...

[connectwired]

Oh I see, now I understand =)

[CoutureOrganiste]

You hear the intial theme, then at :36 the theme comes in again and then in the pedal at 1:06.

[CoutureOrganiste]

Yes it is a fugue.

[keraulophone]

Wonderful, but IS it a fugue?

[broton4]

Well the composer called it a Fugue....
