Мне очень понравилось! Люблю послушать полифонию...

That's not bad. You are using your own interpretation, and in your own way you are bringing this music 'alive'. So much better than many on here where all you hear are notes. This is actually a very evocative and emotional masterpiece. Thanks for posting.

I could start to like Durufle after this. Well done!

This piece was my 1st exposure to Durfule, played by his wife on a recording made at the National Shrine in Washington DC. You can now get it on CD through Gothic Records. I saw her play it in person at the Crystal Cathedral some 20 years ago, and that was thrilling.

[Schalmey8]

ohh i see you do something i do,too sometimes, even if i don´t want it.

when you go up in the pedal with your right foot you use sometimes first your toes and then your heel...i don´t know if it is better or of you do that conscious.

[PerrrfictKats]

Very beautifully done! Just Wonderful!! Sounds like a beautiful dream! Thankyou so much!

[dwightwil]

Absolutely incredible. The piece is haunting and beautiful and the performance was magnificent!

[scout66250]

Yes, I love to watch a concert organist play like this....the economy of movement is notable.....and a beautiful console assistant!

[cembalo75]

Great playing - so much music from seemingly effortless playing. You should be heard far beyond Estonia!

[JeanPat71]

SUPERBE ! BRAVO!!!!!!!

[mmmmeli]

Applause!!!!

[CarolJHayes]

This is undoubtedly my favourite Durufle piece and one of the best performances I've seen/heard. What a wonderful frolic this is! I'm fascinated by pedal work and this young man has a nice light pedal, not heavy and muddy like others I've heard; perhaps of the French school? Still trying to get our church organist (2 yrs of organ in France) to do this one day for postlude. Ah well.....

[Tazeruk]

YES !! Love the two last minutes...

[Schalmey8]

yeah all right only the buttons below the 1st manulal are tawdry but it sounds very well

[gaybaronet]

sensational.absorbing.dramatic­.moving.

in my opinion one of the most powerful pieces ever written for organ.

[connectwired]

What a beautiful fugue.

[Chesterbarnes1]

AREPAUL, WHERE is this organ located, and what is the name of the organ, and ranks.

Thanks

[posaune16]

In case you haven't yet been informed - the organ is a Rieger-Kloss, and is located in the old St. Nicholas Church (now a museum) in Tallinn, Estonia

[scout66250]

Forget the orgel! It is not the organ - if I sat down to play this one no one would even bother to walk across the street to hear it. But this man......!

[Schalmey8]

wonderful, but where is that beautiful big organ?

[Mystep]

Great music.The pretty woman pushing the stops adds an interesting element of sensuality to the overall picture.

[robertgift]

Such a beautiful fugue "melody" based upon A L A I N

A,D,A,A,F

Near end would prefer to watch his struggle than pan the cathedral.

[robertgift]

Oh, The beautiful Durufle Fugue. (Heard your other video of the Prelude.)

You sensitively portray Durufle's love for and tribute to dear friend Alain. Thank you.

[edelacroix]

More about this composer French ,,,,,?

[convaircrazy]

Definitely one of my favorites, as I love to play Durufle myself...

[ComradeIvanov]

Possibly Durufle's greatest work this one - written for his old friend Alain - who was an equally talented organist, killed crossing a bridge during the 2nd world war (I think). The wonderful prelude which was not played here and which goes with the fugue echoes of "Litanies", perhaps Alain's most famous work. Well played.

[elborba]

Wow!!

[JJ77TTUU3]

i'm happy to hear durufle on youtube PTL

[MarkHarmer]

Beautiful - lovely playing, lovely registrations, lovely video. I think this is amazingly moving the way the fugue gently unfolds. Fantastic, all-too-rare genuinely musical playing. Thank you.

[hyfen]

One of my favourite pieces. Well played and well shot.
