  • This is my favourite interpretation of this piece - Cochereau breathes so much life into this work!

  • Yes he's playing it at the right tempo. The fact that virtually no one else on the planet before or since can play this piece like this is another question......

  • Unashamedly show-offish, but very musical nevertheless. Anything more would be painfully overdone. My favourite version on YouTube is Tobias Frank's - a bit less in your face and a bit more musical to my ears!

  • @MarkBenjaminDancer so fast and without mistakes?!?!?! WOW

  • @MegaDani141 No, it's not cut, just a change of manual.

  • 3:39 there is something not right.....

    Is it cuttet?

  • great music.

  • I have this CD! I learned this work because of it. I consider this performance the best on the planet, hands down. I love the effect of the sound meeting itself in that wonderful acoustic! I hear the work quite clearly and it is most musical, indeed!

    In my opinion, this tempo works best in this acoustic. In a dry room it would sound bloody mechanical. It's the wall of sound meeting itself that creates the excitement! Bravo PC, Mon héros!!!

  • I really feel that PC felt this music, and it's clear. You can't fake a dynamic, fiery performance. You just can't. But I think Dupre would have been very clear with PC and said, sure, okay, if you want to do this, do that, fine. As a result not only has Dupre left us a staggering legacy, so has Cochereau. This entire Dupre recording is probably one of the finest organ recordings in history. The Passion Symphony is cataclysmic. Resurrection will have your hair standing on end.

  • GENAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    

  • Agree with Willowthebored: the chamades (and upperwork in general) are brighter than the Caribbean sun. Great piece, but en chamades and mixtures grate on the ears.
