Carillon Sortie by Henri Mulet | Hauptwerk Virtual Pipe Organ

[WeeGrahamsaccount]

Wonderful, I totally agree with you recording can be a frustrating experience, well done on this marvelous accomplishment. Thank you, Graham

[cymantix]

@Layclerk6896 This is the PAB with added reverb.

[romanomelode]

ASTONISHING!!!

[organman77]

Absolutely amazing...what program do you use to make your videos?

[mihaelkYeah]

I finally got an example of how it sounds!!! It's beautiful!!! Great performance <3

[gerardbedecarter]

Excellent playing!

[Principal16]

Fantastic playing!!! :) Can u tell me more about this organ and the Hauptwerk system??

[zippylad77]

I played this piece when I was 17 but not properly. I'm ashamed to say I bluffed it. Now I am currently learning it properly and can appreciate how difficult it is, especially the semi-quavers against triplets at the end. This is a spot-on performance! Fantastic playing! I always think though that one's favourite recording is usually the first one you hear, and the one you judge all others on, and for me it's Noel Rawsthorne playing it at the Anglican Cathedral in Liverpool on 8' solo Tuba Magna

[MISSION781]

すごい！右手・左手、両足を同時に動かせれるってすごい羨ましい­。

[mikedc2020]

Your playing appears so effortless. It's like you never break a sweat. Amazing performance.

[frenchiecocorico1]

Cette pièce nous rapelle qu'Henri Mulet fut un organiste et compositeur français important malheureusement plus connu de nos jours aux Etats Unis qu'en France. Elève de C.M. Widor, ces oeuvres telles les "Esquisses Byzantines" sont conçues pour sonner sur les grands orgues symphoniques Cavaillé Coll. Il forma de nombreux grands organistes à l'école Niedermeyer. Il quitta la capitale en 1937 pour une retraite anticipée à Draguignan où il tint le grand orgue de l'église St Michel pendant 30 ans.

[AMGBenzS65]

All your recordings are absolutely amazing. I dont think I have ever been so mesmerized watching someone play. Most organist never show you the pedal action, and the pedal action what I have always enjoyed watching most. I dont think I have ever, in my life, seen someone with hands as nice as yours....

[NPorganist]

Sounds like the Cavaille-Coll in the Basilica of St Sernin, Toulouse!! Lovely sound and supreme playing. I've heard many electronic organs and this one just carries all before it! Love to have this set-up in my house.

[phillyorganist2010]

Could I ask, Rob, which Hauptwerk sample set are you using with this piece, as well as your 'Gigue' fugue recording?

[devoxtc]

great sound. is it "just" a computer?

[TheVOC]

You make it look so easy. :p you are a wonderful talent and player. ^_^

[zimnaya]

Beautifully played...reminds me so much of attending Mass as a child at Notre-Dame de Saint-Omer. The Cavaille-Coll used to make my hair stand on end with joy then. This does too. Thank you so much!

[speedstick77]

Wow! I have only superlatives for this performance. Thank you so much for sharing.

[wurlitzer3]

It still sounds mushy. A real pipe organ would be crisp.

[pfeife09]

wow! I like this "organ". what is it?

[Subass32]

NIce job, Rob!

[Repmanly]

I'd like to hear a little more sassy approach to this piece (in the phrasing and dynamic changes; calling out various voices via different manuals) - it is a very fiery work but as in all your videos, your playing is very musical and very competent.

[FromHolbergsTime]

A glorious sound and thrilling performance, from the shadows of the hills unto the highest peaks of the mountains. First-rate in all respects! *****

[BH061595]

I didnt mean to give it a thumbs down. I ment to give it a thumbs up

[rudifuhrer]

You are playing eccelent!

But i beg You, change te trousers. I can't watching the video with white pants... :)

[cvter]

You're playing is great....very clean and controlled.

[shipsbells]

Is this the organ that Diane Bish played on Joy of Music when she visited Budapest? She played this really great Toccata by a composer Bednard, or I think that was his name.

[OrganistGraemer]

5***** great!!!

[Bombarde100]

where did you purchace the Manuels and pedal board from? I ask because I am ordering the newest version of Hauptwerk and need the keyboards to play anything on! =]

[Bombarde100]

And I love how flawlessly you play! You make this peice look so easy .....though I know from learning it, that it is not the easiest peice!

[gngeannakakes]

All this equipment is from "Classic Organ Works" (google it) sited in Canada.

[bastiorgel]

How much costs the complete equiptment?

[Brandotuomikoski]

well depends. How many keyboards you want. What kind of computer you want/ need. Speakers, what sample set.

Lots play roll into what the total cost will be.

It can get pricy. But not nearly as pricey as even the smallest of digital organs.

So really you save tones but never ever lose anything. You can have 20 different historical organs at your fingertips. Try doing that with an allen or rodgers.

Now having an organ with midi will take a major chunk of price out.

[Brandotuomikoski]

Ran out of space! Anyways.

You could also buy 2 or 3+ midi set up keyboards for in total around $100 or so. Then buy a pedal board from an old electronic organ and get a midi kit for them. Hook it all up to the computer.

Buy the software from HW or there are free ones out there like Jorgan or Miditzer (theatre organ tho)

[LABlue43]

I like this organ music!

[lllmozartlll]

Breathtaking performance, excellent recording. Thanks very much for uploading.

[theblackhand2]

Great Performance. Also the Hauptwerk software is very impressive. The voices sound more convincing than anything Rodgers or Allen digitals could ever put out. Makes me wonder why no one has thought about using Hauptwerk in a digital organ installation at a church or concert hall?

[jwabacus]

Stunning video - especially in HD. It took me the longest time to register just what I was hearing & looking at - the term 'virtual organ' is new to me. Absolutely impressive playing.

[zygmunt1985]

When I'm listening to your playing without breathing. I can get a breath just at the end.

When you play German works - you play like a German, when you play French works - you play like French. AWESOME AND BRILLIANT!!!

[kiwiplant]

How do you get all the viewing locations with one camera while you are playing ? Do you make the audio recording first then play along with the music for the video parts ?

[stefanussen]

That's exactly what I do

[19shea85]

This console is hideous, what is it and who is the builder??  Brilliant playing I must say!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Job well done :-)

[LadyofMetal16]

Very well played. I am impressed.

[phlmaneto]

Rob, that was overwhelming! Thanks!!

[1401JSC]

This is really VERY GOOD!

[anthonyklemm]

Rob, unbelievable!! I love it. Almost as cool as listening to you play at the Zurich Stake Center

[juliusmax85]

Great Stefanussen, the next future Tabernacle's Organist, I am sure.

[accousticdecay]

I have a 1993 Gothic recording of Douglas Major playing this in the Washington National Cathedral, and yours is nearly as thrilling! I am very impressed!

[JohnBennett1947]

I'm not sure I would say that. Rob, you have a flare and fire in your playing that I seldom seem to hear much. Many play but few play with what I hear in your recordings. As for the Mulet, the voicing is different than the WNC. I would say your registration is clearer. This may be just a difference between an EM Skinner and the Budapest instrument. The WNC instrument is unique, one of a kind. Sadly, it is in very grave danger of being replaced.

[stefanussen]

Thanks John, the Budapest instrument has a unique sound (for better or for worse) and it definitely took some experimentation to find what worked best as a Cavaille-Coll kind of sound. It would indeed be very sad to see (another) EM Skinner instrument bite the dust.

[orgelfreak1]

Rob, Great. The limestone came from the wall!!!

Perfekt! 5*****

[jcapistr]

Hello Rob, What can I say that hasn't been said already? I watch A LOT of organists perform on YouTube. None moves me more than you! It's the playing (hands, fingers, position, expression, registration) and the videography and the Hauptwerk instrument all put together! Thank You! Thank You! Joe in Minnesota

[stefanussen]

Hi Joe, thanks so much for the kind words!

[SimonKane1]

Rob, another fantastic faultless performance. I was recording at the organ of Chester Cathedral, UK last week and over four hours recording nothing as good or faultless as this. Well done.

Tell me, I see your pistons now have writing on them. Are these a piston upgrade from midiworks or stickers?

Keep up the great work.

Si

[stefanussen]

Dymo label maker from Office Max (or Office Depot, can't remember). :D

Making organ recordings is one of the most frustrating things I've experienced. In the interest of being as well prepared for an upcoming audition as possible, I have so far insisted making a recordings that are 100% live. I'd say it's pretty good practice for performing. When I have a recording that is going well, my heart starts racing in a very familiar way when I near the end of the piece.

[tormus1]

Quite amazing.

[KB7777777]

Perfekt!

[bill08033]

The sound of this instrument (original and digital) is amazing! Thanks for sharing.

[bagnewauckland]

Brilliant, as always!

[virtualpoboy]

For me, there have been a few times I wished I was a mouse in the corner when great music was played and saved for all to appreciate. Most notable to me was when George Wright recorded the Fox Theatre recordings in 1956. Thanks to technology and one with prodigious talents, we have Rob who shines a light for all to see, making timeless the music which he shines such a bright light on! Thanks for ALL your postings and the talents of your wife for its capture.

[stefanussen]

Thanks, Poboy

[Inexor]

Nice performance, yet again, Rob!

[macwrite]

Just stunning. I am 31, legally blind (so all has to be learning by ear) and I think I seriously want to pro-sue going an organist. You sure are inspiring.

[organpipe8]

Did I tell you I can predict the future ? I see you as one of the Tabernacle Organist soon - Lance

[stefanussen]

I much appreciate the vote of confidence! I just don't know how much I fancy the idea of playing live for all the cameras :D

[organpipe8]

AWESOME and your video's are so beautiful, love the camera work and editing. Lance ♫

[RobCharles1981]

Great Work! May I ask what Video Camera you use for your videos ??

[stefanussen]

Hi Rob, I'm using a Canon VIXIA HF10

[RobCharles1981]

Must of Cost a Few Notes?

[stefanussen]

I got it at Best Buy while they were having a pretty good sale. But you're right, it was "a few notes" :-) I have gotten some good use out of it though (even extending beyond my YouTube videos!)

[RobCharles1981]

I might look into the purchase of a HD Video Camera.

[lilgoo1357]

Very nice work!! Bravo on this live take and thanks for such high-quality additions to the organ videos here! OH - it's me - David. You couldn't guess that from my user name!

[stefanussen]

Thanks, David!

[tjugofyra]

Very well played , as always!

The samples and the reverb sounds fine!

I always enjoy your performances very much!

[ShandyHall]

Another great video. Keep them coming.

[VirgilFoxMusic]

Very nice editing. The organ set-up is evolving very well too! :)

[SuperElBorba]

I'll go first . . Very nicely done - I'm in complete agreement with your tempo!
