Marcel Dupré (1886-1971) - Cortège et Litanie op. 19 n° 2

[Trompetteenchamade]

Lovely. Your Cortege has the sonorous gravity and dignity for a funereal piece, as well as lovely phrasing and rhythmic life. Yours is the only YouTube recording to date where the bell-like gesture is natural rather than mechanical. I particularly like the 16' component at the first registration change. (1:18)

Your grasp of style allows you to play the Litanie as fast as, or even faster than other performers, yet retain its grandeur.

Remarkable performance!

[OrganNLou]

Glorious! Bravo!

As a young man, I tuned, built and installed organs for the Aeolian-Skinner Company

in the New York City area. These instruments were and are well suited to play the

lush and warm music that you perform here. Few performers have grasped the deep power in this piece. You have!

It is beautifully played and wonderful to listen to. Thank you for taking me back.

[giovdan]

Many thanks fast!

I love the sound of Skinner's Organ; I think the soft sound stops of

Aeolian and, better, of E.M. are insuperable!

[mrSymphonic]

Brilliant!

[rauschquint]

Excellent!

[sperryism]

Most beautiful. Thanks!

Complimentoni per l'esecuzione, caro Giovanni. Questo Hauptwerk mi intriga molto, ma non mi piace troppo l'idea di affidarmi ad un pc (o un Mac) con tutte le insidie derivanti... Oddio, nulla vieta di collegarlo ad un Viscount, magari Prestige 100. ;)

[contreposaune]

esecuzione molto bella!

[ifigeniakatika]

I thanks all friend for nice comments!

I'm happy you like it and like this great sample set!

Grazie a tutti gli amici per i bei commenti espressi!

Sono felice vi sia piaciuto il brano e vi sia piaciuto il grande "set" del Metz!

[passacaglia28]

Excellent playing and what a great selection! Was that a 32' reed I heard in the final chord? Does Hauptwerk even sample 32' stops?

[giovdan]

Thanks passacaglia28!

Yes, it's Contrebombarde 32'; it is exclusive stop for extended Hauptwerk version; real Metz's Cavaillé-Coll organ don't have it.

Fra le composizioni di Marcel Dupré, questa è una delle più belle e significative.

Essa richiede particolare sensibilità artistica e doti interpretative.

Doti abbondantemente possedute dal M°Giovanni Danda, di cui mi onoro di essere amico. Bravo Giovanni, come al solito, sei stato Grande! 10*

[OrganLiturgic]

Eccellente
