as a learning organist, i'll maybe improvise two or three parts at most, and it usually won't be fugal, but i try to keep repeated patterns, and it helps a lot to write down the main idea, then play through, and try and repeat the improvisation as writing, it's a brilliant way to compose. sometimes you just need to let loose, but Dupré definately holds a high place in my book of amazing organists to listen to alongside Bach and Buxtehude.

I always wondered how it would feel to hear Bach himself play the organ. But after hearing this, I think I sort of know.
Maybe a hundred years after his death, there will be a revival of Dupre's music like there was with Bach.
-
An incredible display of musical and technical skill - and let's not forget he would have been in his early seventies at the time of this recording. He takes my vote for the greatest musician of the century!

Amazing, I am at a loss for words, some people are so gifted it's a blessing for us to be able to hear them, voices of the past, in this modern era.
-
I wish my improvisations sounded like this! fantastic.
-
How can he do that, he must have an amazingly logical brain!

Por fin puedo escribir algo aquí. Conozco a Dupré desde hace más de 25 años y por él nunca pasa el tiempo. El órgano vive en él y él en el órgano. Saludo a todos.

Incroyable...

I write down and practice my improvisations well.

Magnificent. I'm floored; having sung this Kyrie at mass after mass, I cannot imagine improvising a fugue thereupon. Look at what he's done: He's taken a Gregorian theme out of free time, given it a rhythm, remembered this new melody, and written a fugue on it as he's playing what he's just written a second before. Douglas Hofstadter once wrote that improvising a six part fugue is like playing sixty games of chess blindfolded at once and winning them all. I'd say he was right.

What a coincidence! I've thought about composing a fugue with a subject based on the Kyrie Orbis Factor, after hearing it so many times at High Mass on Sundays (in Ordinary Time of course) but I never thought I'd come across an IMPROVISED DOUBLE FUGUE on it!!!!!
Marcel Dupre, vous est magnifique!!!
