AWESOME

I don't like so much Gonzales organs, but I heard already the Chartres one, it sounds like a big organ, stops sound clear, and "disgusting" is a too strong word, really.
Right that a Cavaillé-Coll is much better for symphonic pieces.
The video sound is here not very good, and does not give the real colour of this organ.
-
Five stars for Philippe Lefebvre, but the in my opinion the Chartres organ is disgusting!
-
Some organs are tuned at different pitches, etc- it can be off-putting at first! It's also a complete pain to try to get other instrumentalists to accompany such pipe organs...
Whatever the case, this organ has a lovely timbre and Philippe Lefebvre interprets this piece marvellously.
-
Haven't been to the Cathedral to check the tuning (I am sure the people there know what they are doing ;) ) but there are a lot of ways a video could be off-speed on playback.
-
Why is this organ pitched a full step higher than anything else? It's not A=440 for sure...
-
Every time I hear this piece I love it more and more and more! One day I HAVE to learn it!
:D
this is so fantastic played, i can´t hear it enough! 5*

Yes, what you said is very true, this interpretation is very clear, not fast, but neither slow nor boring. Very interesting, great professionnalism.
