Falcinelli Plays Dupré Symphony No. 2: Preludio

[serassone]

La migliore interprete di Dupré!

[organistspectacular]

FANTASTIC!!!

INCREDIBLE!!!

I've heard the name for many years but never the playing. I'm glad to know about yet one more GREAT performer!

[chwidder]

It is particularly moving to realize that this recital was played in the presence of the composer less than 3 weeks before his death. Thanks for sharing!

By the way, Falcinelli has done another recording of Dupré's Second Symphony in Angoulême. Do you have that one as well?

[MrOrganophile]

As far as I know only the second two movements of the Angoulême performance are available on CD. I am waiting for the full symphony to buy it.

[chwidder]

Indeed, the Intermezzo and the Toccata have made it to a CD, entitled "Große Organistinnen" and published by "organ", a sublabel of IFO. Why they have left out the Preludio is a mystery to me...

[MrOrganophile]

To make room for M.C. Alain? As if she doesn't have enough recordings...

[chwidder]

Well, making room for M-C. Alain would have made sense if they had included a recording that was not yet available on CD. But they chose her Liszt B.A.C.H., which was already published by Erato, so I agree with your point.

Anyway, it's about time someone reissues all of Falcinelli's Angoulême recordings on CD...
