  • Very tasteful and balanced performance. No overspeeding, no showing off. The music of Lefébure-Wély deserves much more respect than being some kind of peculiar circus music where the organist plays clown. This performance shows how beutiful it can be when it's done right.

  • This is what a Bolero should sound like, Ian likes to show off a lot, therefore he sometimes neglects the feeling and effect of the piece, this is from Wikipedia on the subject"

    "Bolero is a name given to certain slow, romantic latin music and its associated dance and song."

    "Bolero is a 3/4 dance that originated in Spain in the late 18th century"

    "It is in a moderately SLOW tempo and is performed to music which is sung and accompanied by castanets and guitars"

  • What a brilliant piece.

  • Philippe : comment peux tu rester aussi sérieux en jouant ça ! Mais surtout, comment fais tu pour transcender a ce point cette niaiserie musicale ? Chapeau!

  • i think it's a great performance. nice to hear him let the organ speak with not to much over lay. it's PERFECT (so there)

  • @BeFrSc Yes, I'm agree with you, and the meaning of the melody was wery ineresting;)

  • I love this, I think all sorts of music should be played on the organ, if not, why not?!

    Quite frankly I get bored with a lot of organ music, this piece is light and melodic and well played and the organ sounds nice.

  • Though I don't like Lefébur-Wély at all (sounds more like fun fair music than anything else) I must recognize Philippe Delacour is serving here a rather clever interpretation, on an organ he must appreciate - if only Metz and the eastern France more generally were were granted enough money to keep organs in similar conditions as they are in Letzebuerg...

  • Wow - the tempo is an ear-opener! I play this twice as fast - but not any more!

  • my score is marked crotchet = 92 so this seems about right. Nice performance...

  • You can find this sheet on the werner music archive but it is arranged for solo manual organ even if on the original score there is pedal and -this is my personal opinion- it is more difficult without pedal than with it.

    This is the best interpretation avaible on YT

  • Great performance! I have a question: where can I download this sheet? this is one of my favourite plays and I'd like to study.
