Guillou plays Liszt B-A-C-H his fantastic syncretic version

[19Edurne]

I was thinking of Dr Mabuse during the first seconds, and then when I saw him from behind, of Nosferatu !!

[Bigbearbeau]

fuck me sideways.....wow

[45krojax]

0:20 Graf Dracula

[TheCantael]

JEAN GUILLOU I ADORE YOU!!!!!!!

Aleksandra

[MegaDani141]

i was verry frightend......

[SuperBabel2]

Quand même, le comte DRACULA joue drôlement bien  ! D.BABEL

[MegaDani141]

I hope there would be a new recording of this from him...........

WITH HD SOUND ^^

[tomandsuehunter1]

Liszt is rolling over in his grave! I give Guillou credit for creativity but I don't like this rendition.

[soullessSiIence]

this is what the music should sound if there was a hell and there was music in it.

[lipsbach]

What a character! He makes himself look like Nosferatu (1922) on purpose!

[Mahaballipuram]

Merci à vous Maître de m'avoir donné vos conseil les plus précieux d'harmonisation lorsque j'harmonisais l'orgue de Roquevaire.

Pascal

[gerdi911]

Dies ist ein Genie!!! Ich hoffe, ihn noch einmal in meinem leben zu sehn und zu hoern!!

[UnionToko]

What is the Opus of this Fantasia??

Who played it????

[SuperCraigm]

are stops the knobs organists pull to alter the sound of the pipes?

[Totennebel]

@SuperCraigm

Yes.

[Georgiaorganist]

Wouldn't it be great to attend one of his master classes??

[gonzal0999]

esto sonaria bien en una noche de tormenta en un viejo castillo europeo del siglo xvII ._.

[SanctuMMarchianensiS]

Oui cet homme est un génie ! Son souvenir sera éternel ...

[Jtking3000]

ha hes trying to copy liszts style!

[bombarde1701]

His rendition of this piece appeared on his first CD from St. Eustache

[cliveso]

That was actually partly taken from the piano version. Liszt probably thought that the piano version is too pianistic for the organ. So he didn't entirely make it up.

[Guilloufan]

Now, i know you're very jealous. But that must be very hard for you that you cannot play such an organ ... He can, you see, and for a lot of years ... :)

[lester1013]

He has such a haunting appearance and his playing is the same. HE IS A GENIUS

[skyler6290]

This is the great Dutch built organ at St. Eustache in Paris - - - they certainly learned a thing of two from Cavaille-Coll !

[benjamp]

He look like a Vampir!

[steigleder]

hahaha

[tjugofyra]

If so, the kindest vampir on earth! haha

[robertgift]

Why no information, bib?

Where?

When?

[biblosz]

This was a live concert (in early 2000). In this concert Guillou played the entire Clavier-Übung III. (This material uploading will soon iin youtube) This Liszt Fantasia was the encore)

[robertgift]

Wow!

Impressive as an encore piece.

Where?

What kind of organ?

Why not provide this information under (more info) ?

Thank you.

[shammerHammer]

haha he looks like liszt himself

but still great!

[ethiopianbruh]

Bravo! He has made a great contribution to the memories of two other greats!

[Organistcomposer21]

WOW!!

What a great organist! Isn't this the biggest organ in France?

[Organiste06]

No, almost sure it's Notre-Dame de Paris, then St Sulpice.

[BeFrSc]

Other way around, St. Sulpice has 102 stops, I'm sure Notre-Dame has less.

[biblosz]

No, Notre Dame has more than 120 stops.

[Guilloufan]

but only 101 registers

[VonDuesenberg]

No, sorry biblsoz, Notre Dame has "only" 110 stops and 151 ranks but as the keyboards have 56 keys and the pedal 30 (Cavaillé-Coll division) and 32 (Boisseau division) the organ has less pipes than St Eustache (around 7500)

[Organistcomposer21]

The order of the biggest organs in paris goes like this:

St. Eustach (biggest organ in France I think)

Notre Dame de Paris.

St. Sulpice.

I am 99.99999....% sure of this.

Hope this helps

[Guilloufan]

the st-eustache has the biggest organ

when you're looking to what organ is the biggest, you haven't to look at the stops but at the pipes:)

[VonDuesenberg]

@Guilloufan sorry you're wrong, you have to look at the number of ranks.

[guitarwizard6]

There's no one like him. I cherish the concert I heard about 25 years ago.

[robertgift]

This can't be all in 4:05.

Where will the rest be?

[fractielid]

music is not playing notes as fast as you can! Music must breath...

It is playing what not is written between or behind the notes.

[Guilloufan]

yes!! this is real music!!!!

[paranormaalutrecht]

fantastic!

[Organbest]

Grande Guillou.

Grande come organista ma anche come compositore.

[michelyout]

Very genious: marvelous musical mind!!!

[sebastianKB]

Interessant wäre der Vergleich zwischen der Orgelfassung an einer historischen Orgel, der Fassung für Klavier solo und der Fassung des großen Meisters - ich schätze Jean Guillou sehr und bin ihm dankbar für all die Anregungen, die ich von ihm erhalten habe.

In diesem Alter noch so spielen zu können - wunderbar!!!

[chamade216]
