The organ of St Sulpice, Paris (please ignore inaccurate opening titles)

[Egestus18]

to clear all confusion: I own this CD and this is Jean-Jaques Grunenwalds "Tu es Petrus" played by Daniel Roth in St. Sulpice!

@Egestus18 I had thought that it was a Grunenwald piece originally, but then I read the sleeve notes from my own copy of the disc and the piece I was hearing didn't correspond to what I was reading in the sleeve notes, so that's why I became confused. Most seem to think it is a Daniel Roth improvisation. If you have the score of 'Tu es Petrus' by Grunenwald, that would clear everything up I think!

Thanks.

@4candles do you think they labeled the CD wrong?... dont have the score, no :/

In my ears it definitely sounds like roth, improvisation or maybe a composition, I can't say.

Hi there I had once commented on your video and i think this might be discouraging but the more i think about this wonderful piece the more i am think its and improvisation and i don't know if that's correct but after being and organist for 15 years and hearing almost every piece there is and i have been looking in my archives for a couple of months to find out what song this is. I swear it might be one of those things that could be right under my nose. I will continue to look in to this.

I actually own the score to this Grunenwald work, and this performance here is definitely NOT that piece at all. Just to alleviate any confusion.

@originaltommy Many thanks for your advice - I will amend the video accordingly. Do you have any idea what this piece actually is?

Best.

[ThePipeorganman]

where can i get a copy of this wonderful recording? o and thank you for this wonderful video.

@ThePipeorganman Hi there - I bought this CD in St Sulpice when I visited Paris a number of years ago.

Someone has since posted a comment suggesting that this piece is not, in fact, by Grunenwald, but I do not have any scores to cross-check it against and no-body has confirmed that it is not by Grunenwald.

I'm glad you enjoyed this piece nonetheless!

I believe this is is fact Daniel Roth improvising on Kyrie Orbis Factor.

It's from the CD 'La Tradition de St-Sulpice' [IFO 00086]

[4candles]

I would be grateful if you could confirm this. The track listing on my CD says that this is a Grunenwald piece? I will need to take this video down if I have posted it incorrectly. Apologies to all for any miscommunication.

[Pedalpoint1]

Could you post more pieces from this album? Maybe some Roth and more Grunenwald?

[4candles]

Thanks for your interest. I'm reluctant to post any more of this album because of any possible serious copyright infringement, but I can direct you to MegaUpload, where I can post some extra pieces.

[Pedalpoint1]

A very medative piece worthy of acclaim.

Astonishing climax to this piece, St Sulpice at its most thunderous :-) Beautiful piece, beautifully played.

Did this come from a CD, if so, which one?

thanks.

Hi there

I bought the CD in St Sulpice church when I visited it a few years ago (fantastic place!). It is called 'La Tradition de St Sulpice' and includes other organ/choral music by Grunenwald, Widor, Dupré and Daniel Roth himself.

[polsterj]

Could you maybe post one of Roth's compositions? I have been searching for them for years!

[4candles]

I would prefer to send you the audio file if that's ok - I wouldn't want to abuse the copyright issues too much on YT.
