I listen to and watch this video before I go to work, just about every morning of the world. I need to hear this, as it charges my batteries for the day......lol
Astonishing voices from one of the world's greatest cathedrals and one of Cavaille-Coll's most memorable masterpieces. This is an impressive document which records beautifully the majesty and glory of this fabulous instrument and very talented organist. High marks all around in the capture of such grand and elevating detail. *****
I have the CD. And it is great. We dont' see many organs here in the U.S. with self-moving keys anymore. Franz Liszt has given me some improvising ideas. By watching this, I have learned how to make a quick run down the manuals. Thank you Vincent!
The reason the keys appear to move on their own is because the pedals and the manual he is playing on are coupled to the other manuals via the coupler stops. It's a bit distracting when playing also, but you get used to it. :))
Thanks for the update. It is neat to see organs with self moving keys because of historic reasons. The reason why I say that is becase you don't see this on organs these days!
non conoscevo dubois in dischi o registrazioni (è molto giovane dal filmato,...) ma mi impressiona la facilità con cui risolve la parte finale del 1° mov. della 6^ di Widor: veramente straordinaria la scioltezza , per di più su un organo massiccio come lo stupendo Cavaille Coll di Saint Sulpice - bravo !!!
JV I think we need some more recordings on the works of C.M. Widor on this organ and Mr Dubois is the perfect choice for such a job. Really I heard Widor and Roth's own recordings but this is something very special, magical and magnificent, especially at the beginning and at the end.
Why in the hell do clowns like ahmelmahe get on Youtube simply to bitch at everyone else's performance? Oh, and compare them unfavorably to their won. If I hated the playing as much as they claim, I wouldn't waste my time trying to inform the populace about the do's and don'ts of Tutti or how THEY played the same instrument. Jeez!
I heard Dubois in a concert the other night - favulous as usual.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
1) I have never "bitched at everyone else's performance"!! NEVER!! 2) I NEVER compare anyone's playing to mine unfavorably. 3) I am directing my comments to and at Dubois only. 4) I glossed over Tutti, after all, you can turn Tutti on or off at will. I heard no soul; life's joys and sorrows that instill soul upon us. As Vincent matures, I trust his playing shall mature with him. The fact that I play, from time-to-tome, the same instrument has nothing to do with anything.
If my memory serves me right, Daniel Roth used Tutti for the ending of this piece when I saw him last summer on the same organ...so I would check yourself ahmelmahe
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I don't need to check myself. I stand by my statements; both of them. You talk Tutti. I talk soul. In my humble opinion, Vincent is not there. Maybe some day.
For the guy Bitching about how loud the organ is, Vincent mentions he will demonstrate the TUTTI and that is what is sounds like.....Fool......to all other who complain.....where's your recording? Lets see you try..
Now if we could replace Cameron Carpenter with Vincent Dubois, I think we'd be better off, Dubois's playing shows much greater maturityy than does Carpenter's.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
In the event that I did not make myself clear, the "abortionist" organist I refer to is Mr.Dubois! Daniel Roth is not simply a great organist and musician - Daniel Roth is THE GREATEST OF THE GREAT organists, both living and past!! He, his instrument, the venue and the soul of the composer meld into one. Just keep your eyes on Roth's face, his body movements, hands and feet - Roth is in an absolute trance. I'm considered great - Danial is light-years ahead of me.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I've played that Coll many times, and I didn't have to kill to do so. With regard to your understanding of the tonality of that instrument within the Sulpice acoustical architecture - your playing was an absolute abortion. There's no need to have blood shoot out of the listeners ears. You played like Diane Bish, (The First Lady Of The Crescendo Pedal), on crack. Hopefully, your playing will mature as you mature.
Interesting to compare Mssrs Dubois and Roth's tempo and overall style of playing the same Widor 6th Final. Of course the ever magnificent Cavaille-Coll instrument sounds as spectacular as always. I don't know why this piece isn't more universally loved as it is so stunning when played with such vigor and drive as these two gentlemen do.
We heard him live at Baylor University in Waco this year---he played Franck's (UTTERLY DREADFUL) "Grande Piece Symphonique," the Durufle Suite, and Widor VI---all completely by memory---and it was UNBELIEVABLE!
(EVERYBODY---who is ANYBODY---plays by memory, you know!)
The above commentary---about Franck---is editorial; I've just NEVER liked Franck.
Heresy---I know---as---I'm an ORGANIST---and of Flemish extraction. Vincent Dubois ROCKS!
You're dreadful, not Franck. Anyone who can fail to appreciate the beauty of the Prelude, Fugue and Variations, or the sheer genius and grandeur of Choral no. 3 is a sad excuse for a human being. Franck was way better than any of his contemporaries, like Widor or Guilmant.
Sainht-Sulpice is my church, and I can tell you they are body-gards, because hundreds of people would kill in order to play only one minute on this organ.( Me too)
And many american tourists holding "Da Vinci Code" in hand told us that a crime was committed in this church by a monk, so we believe it.
They aren't bodyguards, The gentleman wearing the white shirt is is Michel Goussu the currator of the organ but I don't know who the other man is probably an assistant.
Johann Vexo is organist at Notre-Dame of Paris, titulary of Nancy's Cathedral and organ teacher at Angers's conservatory... Vincent Dubois is one of his friend.
Widor's 6th syphony the last part of it. If you want to hear the full version type in the search bar daniel roth playing widor the 6th and watch him do it on this organ :)
In case you don't know there arent many recordings like this and even this one is just a demonstration of the full recordings on the CD not to mention that there are very few recordings on YT with Widors 6th symphony or Mr. Dubois.
Its pretty easy to play, but he's playing it twice the speed it should be, the whole piece is 20 minutes long, and i'm soo lucky that I found Vincent, otherwise I would've brought the sheet music for it.
Not only is it great to see this video clip, but can you actually imagine being there, experiencing the power of a truly large pipe organ which no electronic organ can ever reproduce. I have played a couple of very large organs in the past, and it is a real rush to experience the power of such organs. - - hottrod - Rockford, IL. USA
In case if anyone wants to know, the CD sells for #30.00. It would be a nice Christmas present. I have found out what SACD means. That means Super Audio CD. But my PC won't burn SACDs. Mine burns regular CDs.
This CD is a special duel layer CD - basically there are 2 CDs on one CD surface - one layer is a normal CD and the other an SACD. It will play on either machine. I hope you will not be burning copies - the sales from current CDs is how I finance future CDs.
I saw the list and I was proud to see the CD is now on the website. Now I am just about ready to have Vincent "teach" me now to play the symphonic poem. If they do some work on the organ again, I hope that they let the manuals on this one operate the way they do right now. This organ takes people on a field trip back in time when electronic coupling was invented.
I have to listen to this video every morning while having my first cup of coffee. I just ordered this CD as it's now available and can't wait to receive it.
@eoghdes18 you cant play that fast in such a space, theres no way you would be able to tell what notes are being played in the sanctum! too much echo!
Vincent DuBois is the NEW great organist of our time! His understanding of the music and the technique he uses are extraordinary. We anxiously await the CD of the full performance of this evening's session at St. Sulpice. NOBODY plays like this anymore -- I think this is the way the composers intended these works to sound... BRAVO!
But I'm totally fascinated sound of Introduction from 6th symphony (g minor) on this organ! Very good (and loud, hahah) recordings of these works are from MC Alain. I'm sure you'll like it!
giafin, at the very beginning of the video, you heared Toccata from 5th symphony (Widor). It sounds unique, because Widor was organist in St. Sulpice!
Extraordinary! But I would also like to know what is the music played at the very beginning of the video. I cannot really recall its composer's name & the title of the work itself.
Vincent is not only an amazing musician, but those who have had the good fortune to meet and work with him know that he's a very down-to-earth fellow and quite easy to get along with. Quelle combinaison rare.
Also, his performance of the Widor G Minor is my favorite...
Monsieur Dubois est musicien estrêmement brillant; il joue des extraits de la Toccata de Widor, Évocation de la chapelle Sixtine de Liszt, et la fin du 1er mouv. de la 6e Symphonie de Widor. Cet instrument magnifique est un monstre d'un autre siècle, mais Dubois le maîtrise de façon stupéfiante! Même sur ce petit vidéo on peut entendre quelle sonorité extraordinaire a cet orgue!
I never tire from listening to this video. Why don't American organs sound like this? The new organ at The First Congregational Church in Los Angeles is a great instrument but needs to be in a great cathedral. The church is way too small for the organ.
hi, je crois que je le connais; auriez-vous son email adresse, car je crois que c'est bien lui avec qui j'allais a l'ecole! Where can i find where he has gone to school,which part of France, to make sure it's him? Cause i havent seen him for more than 10 years, and people change, thank you, Angelique.
Truly, a religious experience for me to see and hear this incredible music in this space, on this pipe-organ. Where can one find recordings of this kind of music? I must have it.
Thesurfinbird, the action you see is what is called Keyboard dubbing. When the organist plays a note, the key on the manual above or bellow it plays itself. Which ever manual he has coupled.
I've learned something. I went to a website that talks about Franz Liszt, and I have learned that the piece was really written for orchestra. It was an orchestral job, and I was suprised that "Classical Music Archives" didn't have it listed.
Uh, oh! I can't find that piece in the Classical Archives site. I looked under Listz but I couldn't find the piece. I could see chamber music, symphonies, and piano works. And I know that this piece was done on the organ.
Joe, you might want to compare this one with one that I just uploaded. Type "At the Organ". And you will see at first some stills of me with my hands at the manuals and it finishes with my feet on the pedals.
Thank you JV. I will watch for it. Dan has also taught us some French as well. I have learned from him that instead of using the word "Organ", they say "orgue". I hope that he is still living. If he is and you get to see him again, tell him that we viewers of YouTube thank him for teaching us some new words.
I found out what the name of the first piece is. It's a tonal poem from Lizt. Too bad we couldn't hear the entire piece. But it does sound nice when he changes the stops.
Okay, this is for someone who knows the history of organs. When did the preset buttons start getting mounted underneath the manuals? Also when did the type of keyboard dubbing come to an end? Similar to the keyboard dubbing seen in this video?
One neat thing about this instrument is that not too many organs are left that have manual dubbing. That is when you couple the Swell to the great, the note on the swell manual plays by itself as the organist strikes it on the great.
The organ itself was built in 1862 and the church where it sits has a petition going to help preserve the instrument as most organs built by Cavaille Coll are in danger of being scrapped. I like these historic organs as well.
This is simply amazing. What is the last piece that is performed on this video? I wish I knew what it was; I'd run out and place an order for it right away.
All my years of organ playing, I have never played a French Organ like this, though I know I'd love to. Got to love those French organ reeds.
Me, being an organ buff for decades, it is good to see talented organists on great organs such as Daniel Roths' wonderfull organ in Paris!
Living in south Texas , I don't get to attend organ recitals too much, but over the years I have seen many such as Virgil Fox, E.Power Biggs, Pierre Cochereau, Anthony Newman, Guy Bovet, Jane Parker-Smith, Lionel Rogg. I especially like French organ music from the late 19th-20th century. This is nothing on this earth that compare to pipe organ music!!
Yes, I live in Austin now and music like this doesn't even exist here. I lived in L.A. for 16 years and got to hear the new organs at First Congregational Church but the church is far too small for organs that size. I love to hear English organ and choir music, but the French are grand too. I wish I knew where to find music on CDs like this. Does anyone know?
Many recordings of French, English, US and Spanish organs playing music of many composers & periods are available at larger music stors or from OrganHistoricalSociety. com. French, English and SOme US compasers produced music of this dynamic and tonal range. German and Scandnavian mostly baroqie which is not co perfectly clear on an organ with so much reverb.
Does anybody know the name of the blond guy please ? He sits on the side of the organist during the performance. I thought I saw him playing the organ at Notre Dame de Paris...
If you mean the gentleman with glasses who assists with the stops and turns a page during the Liszt, that man is Michel Goussu who is the curator of the organ, and I believe, choir director at St.Sulpice. I believe he an organist himself as well.
Can anyone tell me what songs he is playing? I can't tell from his accent.

In case if anyone wants to know, the CD sells for #30.00. It would be a nice Christmas present. I have found out what SACD means. That means Super Audio CD. But my PC won't burn SACDs. Mine burns regular CDs.

This CD is a special duel layer CD - basically there are 2 CDs on one CD surface - one layer is a normal CD and the other an SACD. It will play on either machine. I hope you will not be burning copies - the sales from current CDs is how I finance future CDs.

Hey Joe,
I saw the list and I was proud to see the CD is now on the website. Now I am just about ready to have Vincent "teach" me now to play the symphonic poem. If they do some work on the organ again, I hope that they let the manuals on this one operate the way they do right now. This organ takes people on a field trip back in time when electronic coupling was invented.

Vincent DuBois is the NEW great organist of our time! His understanding of the music and the technique he uses are extraordinary. We anxiously await the CD of the full performance of this evening's session at St. Sulpice. NOBODY plays like this anymore -- I think this is the way the composers intended these works to sound... BRAVO!

But I'm totally fascinated sound of Introduction from 6th symphony (g minor) on this organ! Very good (and loud, hahah) recordings of these works are from MC Alain. I'm sure you'll like it!

giafin, at the very beginning of the video, you heared Toccata from 5th symphony (Widor). It sounds unique, because Widor was organist in St. Sulpice!

Magnificent!! Vincent Dubois is a genius.
He could make any organ sound this good.

Extraordinary! But I would also like to know what is the music played at the very beginning of the video. I cannot really recall its composer's name & the title of the work itself.
Any help it will greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Vincent is not only an amazing musician, but those who have had the good fortune to meet and work with him know that he's a very down-to-earth fellow and quite easy to get along with. Quelle combinaison rare.
Also, his performance of the Widor G Minor is my favorite...

Monsieur Dubois est musicien estrêmement brillant; il joue des extraits de la Toccata de Widor, Évocation de la chapelle Sixtine de Liszt, et la fin du 1er mouv. de la 6e Symphonie de Widor. Cet instrument magnifique est un monstre d'un autre siècle, mais Dubois le maîtrise de façon stupéfiante! Même sur ce petit vidéo on peut entendre quelle sonorité extraordinaire a cet orgue!

I never tire from listening to this video. Why don't American organs sound like this? The new organ at The First Congregational Church in Los Angeles is a great instrument but needs to be in a great cathedral. The church is way too small for the organ.

Huge churches lots of hard surfaces. Saint Sulpice is HUGE it makes Saint Patrick's Cathedral in NYC look small.

hi, je crois que je le connais; auriez-vous son email adresse, car je crois que c'est bien lui avec qui j'allais a l'ecole!

Thesurfinbird, the action you see is what is called Keyboard dubbing. When the organist plays a note, the key on the manual above or bellow it plays itself. Which ever manual he has coupled.

For those who don't know how to pronouce the name of the piece of music by Liszt, listen to Vincent as he talks about the video.
Streetcar1743 4 years ago
Ah Joe, make that the ones with me at the organ and the one at my synthesizer.
Streetcar1743 4 years ago
Hey Joe, if you want to, email my videos to Vincent and also to Daniel Roth. I assume that they would love to see it.
Streetcar1743 4 years ago
I've learned something. I went to a website that talks about Franz Liszt, and I have learned that the piece was really written for orchestra. It was an orchestral job, and I was suprised that "Classical Music Archives" didn't have it listed.

You may have to help me on this one JV.

Oh thanks. I might have to go the library to rent a CD with this song on it. But it sure does keep an organists' hands and feet pretty busy!!
Streetcar1743 4 years ago
Uh, oh. I can't find the piece by Liszt in the Classical archives under the Liszt page. And I need help.
Streetcar1743 4 years ago
My goof on the spelling of the composer. It's Liszt.
Streetcar1743 4 years ago
Uh, oh! I can't find that piece in the Classical Archives site. I looked under Listz but I couldn't find the piece. I could see chamber music, symphonies, and piano works. And I know that this piece was done on the organ.
Streetcar1743 4 years ago
The next time you see Vincent, see if you can get him to play "Piere a Notre Dame" and Prelude Classic Style.

My video of "At the Organ" has stills on this one as well. But unlike this one, mine is just the stills rather than with motion.
Streetcar1743 4 years ago
Joe, you might want to compare this one with one that I just uploaded. Type "At the Organ". And you will see at first some stills of me with my hands at the manuals and it finishes with my feet on the pedals.
Streetcar1743 4 years ago
Thank you JV. I will watch for it. Dan has also taught us some French as well. I have learned from him that instead of using the word "Organ", they say "orgue". I hope that he is still living. If he is and you get to see him again, tell him that we viewers of YouTube thank him for teaching us some new words.
Streetcar1743 4 years ago
I found out what the name of the first piece is. It's a tonal poem from Lizt. Too bad we couldn't hear the entire piece. But it does sound nice when he changes the stops.

Okay, this is for someone who knows the history of organs. When did the preset buttons start getting mounted underneath the manuals? Also when did the type of keyboard dubbing come to an end? Similar to the keyboard dubbing seen in this video?
Streetcar1743 5 years ago
I have been keeping the message of keeping these historic organs in operation at the top of the page on the Yanni Message Board.
Streetcar1743 5 years ago
Now what is the first piece that he is playing in the video?
Streetcar1743 5 years ago
One neat thing about this instrument is that not too many organs are left that have manual dubbing. That is when you couple the Swell to the great, the note on the swell manual plays by itself as the organist strikes it on the great.
Streetcar1743 5 years ago
The organ itself was built in 1862 and the church where it sits has a petition going to help preserve the instrument as most organs built by Cavaille Coll are in danger of being scrapped. I like these historic organs as well.
Streetcar1743 5 years ago
In response to your inquriy, the last piece was from the first movement of the sixth symphony by Charles Marie Widor.

This is simply amazing. What is the last piece that is performed on this video? I wish I knew what it was; I'd run out and place an order for it right away.
All my years of organ playing, I have never played a French Organ like this, though I know I'd love to. Got to love those French organ reeds.

Me, being an organ buff for decades, it is good to see talented organists on great organs such as Daniel Roths' wonderfull organ in Paris!
Living in south Texas , I don't get to attend organ recitals too much, but over the years I have seen many such as Virgil Fox, E.Power Biggs, Pierre Cochereau, Anthony Newman, Guy Bovet, Jane Parker-Smith, Lionel Rogg. I especially like French organ music from the late 19th-20th century. This is nothing on this earth that compare to pipe organ music!!
djrazormaid 5 years ago
Yes, I live in Austin now and music like this doesn't even exist here. I lived in L.A. for 16 years and got to hear the new organs at First Congregational Church but the church is far too small for organs that size. I love to hear English organ and choir music, but the French are grand too. I wish I knew where to find music on CDs like this. Does anyone know?
2468HOTROD 4 years ago
Many recordings of French, English, US and Spanish organs playing music of many composers & periods are available at larger music stors or from OrganHistoricalSociety. com. French, English and SOme US compasers produced music of this dynamic and tonal range. German and Scandnavian mostly baroqie which is not co perfectly clear on an organ with so much reverb.

If you mean the gentleman with glasses who assists with the stops and turns a page during the Liszt, that man is Michel Goussu who is the curator of the organ, and I believe, choir director at St.Sulpice. I believe he an organist himself as well.
