Eugéne GIGOUT Grand Choeur dialogué

[GrandeBombarde16]

The resolute tempo is the salient aspect of this convincing performance. However, with the addition of some artistic musical "suspensions" (i.e., holding climactic notes slightly longer than their written values), this performance would be even more praiseworthy.

[CantusMaximus]

I love the sound of this particular organ! I love the screeching reeds, the beautiful celeste effect created through the slightly out of tune burdons and pausane. Overall wonderfully played.

[cromorne]

Although the rests might not be perfectly counted, there is still just enough space at the end of the phrases to make for a decent sounding performance. And this sounds like a Baroque organ, which means it is tuned to a different temperament than modern organs. I think this is a rather good performance anyways.

[19shea85]

Why are there so many organists who can't count to 4?

[Contrubas]

There are 4 beats in the bar on my copy. I wish this guy would count 3+4 before each new phrase!

[jmeister321684]

Even though it is offtone for some pipes this organ really does sound like Brass in this recording !!

[skeptikulo]

Eu não gosto muito dos registros de palhetas... Estava muito carregado com estes registros, e um pouco desafinados os tubos metálicos.

[AndreaPianoPlayer]

The best interpretation I've heard of this piece! Congratulations. Five stars!!!!

[silentbugler]

why can't people count!!

[cliveso]

@silentbugler LOTS of people fail to count in this piece. It annoys me so much! Also: two beats on the E minor chord at 0:20! He was early by about a quaver.

[dagdale]

Glorious music, very well performed.

[gedeck4foot]

I believe spanish organs are useualy under high

pressure.

[decrepitojorge]

and frequently detuned , but of course it's well performed

[ace4711]

he plays in a nice and SLOW stately grand tempo...wonderful and not rushing!!

WONDERFUL!! BRAVO!!

[orgelxaver]

Die Orgel ist wohl etwas verstimmt.... aber das Stück ist geil. Das will ich auch mal spielen.

[bishfan]

Wonderful performance!

[GJmusique]

Nice - but the organ can use some tuning... :P

[ds1868]

No it's in tune, just the typical Spanish reeds adding extra 'flavour'.

[Ntalikeris666]

i think it is just some pipes that delay to responce. This happens to most organs with reed pipes. (especially in this piece where a Reed Tutti is used)

[rjijmker]

@Ntalikeris666 The reeds are fast enough, only they were not tuned... And the rests are not counted right, and that's the problem, why the piece is not sounding right. It does not have the calmness, which is necessary, to make the piece sound majestic...

[wljmrbill]

@rjijmker seems to be a characteristic of Spanish Organs....slower action reeds and not always in tune. to 440

[Angultimmarik]

My favourite performance of this piece! He really uses the reeds like Gigout prescribed it..

[oberek92]

C'est tout simplement génial !!

[ds1868]

Nice performance. Great sound for such a small organ. And those Spanish reeds - very nice! Thanks for posting.

[qw3rtydud3]

Very nice, the opening phrase usually is better with more reeds.

Thanks for posting :)
