Latry Plays Alain at National Shrine Pipe Organ in Washington, DC

[FrancoisHoutart]

Musique d'orgue magnifique parce qu'elle n'est que "sens" (où sont les grands compositeurs du XXe siècle ... !?).

Le talent de Olivier Latry apporte une dimension remarquable par son écoute grandiose et sa conduite musicale. Et l'instrument me paraît à la hauteur de bien de qualités.

Assez merveilleux; Yet a bit loud or fast... humbly, although the ideal force you need to play this piece, and this Moller organ will always impress me too.

the pews are very hard? LOL Do you find wooden pews in other churches to be softer, or should they perhaps pad them for your concert-going comfort? hehe

I don't mind the hard pews; they're a lot better for the acoustics & make the building more reverberant. It's the people clunking around in them when I'm trying to record that's a pain ;-)

@a55b47 And they do not face the organ! I try to sit on the kneelers as long as my aged frame can endure them so that I can at least be facing the right direction! The pews ahould have reversible backs so that one can face either the latar for services or the organ for concerts. :-)
