Marcel Dupré: Prélude et Fugue en sol min. Op.7 n.3

[Brockett122]

Sir, You are one of the wonders of the world. Magnifique!

[vleermuisje2]

Op deze wijze wordt Marcel Dupre alle eer gedaan die hij ten zeerste verdiende al tijdens zijn leven. Maar ook nu, al vele jaren na zijn overlijden, horen wij zijn voortreffelijke en diepgravende muziek keer op keer weer. Hier op YouTube maar ook in de kathedralen en concertzalen. In dit geval op eminente wijze uitgevoerd door Philippe Delacour, waarvoor mijn grote waardering.

Merci bien!

Sounds scary and beautiful.

Exceedingly ENVIABLE playing. I cannot understand how he can play like that and look at the score, too. Yes, the initial theme in the pedal could use a bit more prominence. The last few pages of the fugue have to be some of the most exciting moments in music!!!! Again, an EXCELLENT performance.

the swine that edited this with the opaque titles should be shot

[zerocurve]

Philippe Delacour's playing of this piece is the best out of any I have seen/heard on here. Most are too slow, and the organists seem to be afraid of pulling out stops in the fugue. Masterful!

[OrganNLou]

I wonder what tuning was used for this organ? Certainly not close to A 440?

[all1rog]

Superb!

[MrBrysonD]

I adore this young man's talent! What a gift! His interpretations are to the single note!

[QueenAnnesFury]

It reminds me of ghosts, especially at the beginning of the song. I like it!!

[2468HOTROD]

What a fantastic video to watch and listen to. This organist is one of the very best.

[13anjowizard]

@2468HOTROD he really is!

[Sesquiltera]

the pedal is waaaay too soft in this recording.

[theillfrisch]

super great

[PerrrfictKats]

A real eye-popper!!

[27bibi27]

extraordinaire interprète  ! ça fait plaisir à entendre et à voir

[redletterchurch]

This performance is superb! There is an effortlessly controlled flow of excitement. I rather prefer the urgent tempo. The organ and acoustics are perfect. How could Dupre have composed such a wondrous work? It must have been a gift from God.

[Larsky1010]

@redletterchurch I'm in total agreement!

[zerocurve]

I LOVE this prelude. The melody is so haunting. And the fugue is positively one of the wildest I know! I heard this played on my university's Moeller organ and it's fantastic.

[robertgift]

WOW!

Fugue a little too fast.

Still wonderful.

Philippe Delacour makes this very difficult work sound and look easy.

Hope he will tour the US.

But do we organs in live acoustics worthy of him?

[tjugofyra]

I really love this performance! Fortunately for us, Delacour did not miss the second last chord! I wonder how it would have sounded if he had played an H instead of C! haha:)

[MEPPO06]

Very fine playing

[Angultimmarik]

My favourite performance of this piece on youtube, because of the organ

[latribe]

Fantastic - really wonderful. Is it the Bourdon or the Flûte allemande in the middle section? Really fantastically haunting sound. Thanks so much for posting this!

[bigposaune]

Wow, grandioso! Philippe Delacour è veramente un interprete di altissima levatura e stupisce anche per l'estrema compostezza con cui si destreggia abilissimamente sulle tastiere e sulla pedaliera in repertori di estrema difficoltà... Bravo, davvero bravo! Una meritata lode anche per la sapiente regia per le indovinate angolazioni delle riprese... Io sono davvero contento di aver acquistato questo VHS appena uscito in commercio...

[organimagister]

Veramente bellissimo! Io ho acquistato il DVD con Bach suonato da Viccardi, ma come posso fare per avere un catalogo completo della collana??

Grazie.

[mjeff321]

I liked it.... nice playing. Needed more articulation in that spacious room with the reverb time. Or else all the audience will hear is just so muddy.

[tjugofyra]

The organ and the acoustics is espectacular but the organist is even more espectacular...

[ertaulaz]

La técnica es única, verdaderamente única.

El órgano es espectacular
