@19shea85 and trenoespresso.................
....Esteemed Gentlemen............when YOU BOTH are 72 years old, with crippling arthritis.................I DARE either one of you to play ONE QUARTER this well. Marcel Dupré had the GUTS and the soul to play this work when he was well past his best years, and on an ancient organ with failing action. -

I regard this as a historical recording of a time and place that is now in our memory. Accept the great music and be thankful it's there for future generations to hear. It's a link to our past.

Interesting sforzandos at ca 2:30.

As an aging organist, thanks for the good word. Now I am depressed...

@Diapasonic I fully agree with you except I would have dared them to play it one-tenth as well!

Wonderful to hear this old guy. I have an LP of him at St Thomas New York. Yes, its harder to play such at 69-70 years. Speed is not everything.

a surreal majesty preserved for the ages
splendors interwoven forevermore
