Wedding Scene from "Un Grand Amour de Beethoven"

[Stentorfon]

The organ case hase some resemblance with the one in S:t Eustache.

I can't stop wonder why they just didnt filmed Dupre when he was playing? Seems like a lot of work makeing the fake manuals.

ok, I've downloaded it, the whole thing. However, it has no subtitles and I can't seem to find any.

Wonderful to see Harry Baur...shameful the way he was tortured/murdered at the hands of the Gestapo Nazis in WWII. Thanks for posting this.

The organ case looks a bit like Westminster Abbey London. No?

[elgatonyc]

Harry Baur played Beethoven as crude, impulsive, tormented, yet idealistic. One of the great scenes in the movie is a completely fictitious depiction of Beethoven playing the organ at the wedding of Giulietta. Having bribed the organist, Beethoven took his place and instead of playing a lovely wedding march, ruins the wedding by substituting the "Funeral March on the Death of a Hero" from his Fortepiano Sonata in A-flat Major, Opus 26 (written in 1800-01 when he was teaching Julie).

@sstuddert

i have a copy on an old videotape.. but i dont know how to numerize it !!!

[sstuddert]

@fredericoc75 just find a way... and do it!

[sstuddert]

@fredericoc75 maybe you could somehow record it onto a dvd and from there onto your computer.

@sstuddert

I fetch on internet a means to digitize a videotape

I inform you

[Sulpice1863]

The console is clearly fake, as is the entire church scene and organ case.  I suspect the latter were all painted backdrops hanging in the film studio. However, I remain intrigued over Olivierhecho's comment that the organ soundtrack was recorded in Notre Dame de Paris. Olivier -- please elaborate if you can.

Magnifique film, magnifique musique !! interprétée par Marcel Dupré à Notre Dame de Paris (1936)

[altridicorbentraz]

Magnifica scena, imponente

[sfbonedoc]

the console is not St Sulpice but the sound could be - such trickery is consonant with movie making before world war II

[ilovechopinprelude]

awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pordzio]

Pity though - nicely played

[pordzio]

There is one proof that its not St Sulpice the console at St. Sulpice doesn't have any stops or knobs above the keyboards and if you look close, the whole keys are a fake, like in 3:10
