Marcel Dupré plays Prelude and Fugue op36 no.2

[peteacher52]

Wow! This makes a fascinating comparison or contrast with, that other great Parisian organist also recorded at a Cavaille-Coll in 1959, and that was, of course, Jeanne Demessieux at la Madeleine playing Franck.

Thank you indeed, for the posting.

Outstanding.

Lord, have mercy on my solo.....

This is magic! The great master of the Cavaile-Coll organ of St.Sulpice! Now you know why he is unequaled by any organist nowadays! He understands Cavaille-Colls masterpiece by no other organist nowadays! Maybe Veronique Cauchefer- Choplin is his follow up?

[Totennebel]

The sound quality is pretty impressive. Doesn't sound like 1959. Thanks for sharing this experience with us.

[miauw777]

He really understand the finnesses of the superb Cavaille-Coll instrument at St.Sulpice. He is the one and only true genious on this intrument. Its pure magic!!!!!!

Un prélude et une fugue à ne jouer seulement si l'on dispose de l'instrument adéquate!!! Par bonheur, je l'ai! mais ce prélude et fugue sont injouables pour moi.. malgré mon niveau d'organiste.

[kiwooha]

que dire de cette impressionnante suite opus 36? Je suis moi même organiste sur un Mutin Cavaillé Coll.. je n'ai jamais réussi à la jouer!!! même après de nombreux mois de travail!!! Dupré est une sorte de génie.. fou!! et le sorgues qui vont avec lui le sont encore plus!!

[miauw777]

The beauty of a well preserved cavaille-coll organ!

France what did you do with this genius its legacy!

Shame on the ministry of culture and bravo for Daniel Roth for his efforts to put this instrument on the Unesco World Heritage List

Dupré is playing here on his organ at St Sulpice in Paris. I had the record, but I am not sure it is re-edited in a CD.

This is my favourite Dupré's Prélude et Fugue. The double fuga is wonderful.

[27bibi27]

Je n'avais pas connaissance d'un tel enregistrement.

quelle émotion

la fugue est également l'une de mes pièces favorites. un modèle d'écriture et de beauté musicale

Marcel Dupré est un immense compositeur

[miauw777]

This man is outstanding, for sure the best of its genereation, love its many students

What is that 6 manual console at 50seconds?

[JFSnail]

The famous Wanamaker Organ console in what was the Wanamaker Store, now branded Macys in Philadelphia.

I love this church and this pipeorgan.

[redjsbach]

Beautiful!

Ho studiato questo brano... molto difficile... ma ne vale la pena!

Curioso sentirlo suonato direttamente da Dupré... forse è un po' lento, però...

[marsvltor2]

Utterly magnificent - and very interesting to compare with Roth on CD...

This is a wonderful piece - more mature and less ostentatiously 'flashy' than the outer Op7s...

What could I possibly say? Simply beautiful!

By the way the sound is very clean, do you know who recorded it?
