Olivier Latry, always imperial, stoic, like efforless. He plays on Vierne's organ ! And of course, he plays this piece exactely like he has to do, with a reasonnable tempo.
I'm here to listen to this wonderful instrument after the diseasterous fire earlier today. Various reports give different ideas of whether this organ survived the terrible fire or not. As an organ player, I'm numb right now from today's events but it is so fortunate that no one died in the fire.
@David Guillen Guijarro - Yes, the main organ is almost untouched. It has a concrete slab over the top of most of it which prevented damage from the fire and I understand that water from the fire hoses just ran off the sides. It will sing again!
c'est sutout Olivier Latry qui est un génie. Son final est magistral avec une véritable démonstration au niveau du pédalier. Il interprète à merveille le souffle de la partition voulue par l'auteur, à mille lieux des interpértations hachées et poussives d'autres organistes. Bravo M LATRY
to me, this music is a proof of a great friendshipness and common admiration between French and brittish people and especially between french and brittish artists ! Pour moi cette musique est une preuve d' amitié et d' admiration commune entre les Français et les brittaniques et en particulier entre les artistes Français et brittaniques !
@Bastien Delagneau Louis Vierne and the English organ builder Father Henry Willis were great friends. When Vierne visited Willis in London he rang the door bell and the famous Westminster chimes rang out in the hallway. This inspired Vierne to compose this piece of music and dedicated Carillon de Westminster to his friend Henry Willis!
@@ds1868 No - it was a submitted theme for improvisation in Westminster Cathedral sometime in the 1930's and Henry Willis (one of a succession of organ-builders of this name) wanted to submit the Westminster Chimes theme. The story goes that in his nervousness he jotted it down wrongly, and thus Vierne adds a little furbelow in the second half of the theme, including three extra notes, sixth fifth and dominant, not - of course - in the famous clock chime. It enriches the piece and makes it more unexpected and artistic.
Beautiful. I have listened to this performance many times and can’t get enough of it. May I offer one thought? If I am not mistaken, the recording ends before the echo finishes reverberating. May the listener enjoy the wonderful acoustics to come in their entirety.
did they really have to cut off the reverb? so many recordings do that, and I wish they wouldn't: the reverb is a real part of the indescribable majesty of organ music in such a space.
I think you may be talking about the reverberations after the final chord...which are definitely part of the Notre-Dame experience. Here, they are mercilessly chopped.
Same organist playing same piece on same organ, but with final reverberation "unclipped," (audio only) is here: czcams.com/video/pqHowxObZYE/video.html amid a number of interesting works.
Actually, in a large church, the reverb is so loud, that is sounds muddled for louder pieces, or intricate pieces like fugues. It's made worse when the church is empty. When full of people, their bodies do a great job of dampening the reverb.
Love the registration. Superb performance of Latry at his best!! Just the way I visualize the sound and the closest interpretation to my own I have yet heard.
Fantastique !!!... Auparavant,j'écoutais la version "Olivier Latry at MUPA 2006".Dès ce jour,j'adopte celle-ci. Registration et accoustique hallucinantes.Ah oui,M° Vierne peut être fier de son digne successeur. (J'ose)... " Faute de pendules,M° Latry a remis le Carillon "à l'heure" " ....Actuelle ! . Encore Merci pour le partage "L'Orgue,le Grand" et vivement la prochaine saison................................
Brilliant composition. I don't know if there was a "chime-voices" on the Notre-Dame organ in the early 1900s when Vierne was the organist. But now it is. I don't think the composer would be angry if the real carillon was also turned on at the beginning of the piece for the first theme. This is how it was played at a concert in the Matthias Church in Budapest (the first theme with bells) and it was phenomenal.
Louis Vierne a amené l' électrification de l' orgue, avec des électro-aimants. Pierre Cochereau a amené une nouvelle console " à l' Américaine " mais en respectant le style " arc de cercle ", cher à Aristide Cavaillé Coll. Et le combinateur numérique( jeu de notes, et changements de registres et de jeux, par des impulsions binaires 0 ou 1 ) Il représente, avec le nouvel orgue RIEGER de la maison de la musique/philarmonie de paris, et St Sulpice, les 3 plus grandes orgues de France avec plus de 7000 tuyaux. Dans la cathédrale Notre Dame, avec la ROSACE, cet orgue est une des plus belles oeuvres d' art du grand édifice religieux parisien.
Pas vraiment... La console dite "de Cochereau" (construite par Jean Hermann) comportait deux panneaux verticaux (et non convexes), de part et d'autre des claviers, tournés vers l'organiste. La console de 1992 (celle de 1963 agrandie) idem. Il faudra attendre 2014 pour trouver deux courbures dans la console de Quoirin. La dimension "en amphithéâtre" (comme à St Sulpice ou au Sacré-Cœur) a été reprise par exemple à St Eustache pour les deux consoles.
Absolutely amazing to watch and hear a Master at work! He, along with JB Robin (also a former student of Latry), are two of my favorite French organists to bring this piece to such beautiful life!
Rien à voir avec les méchantes caricatures des organistes anglo-américains qui en font de la musique de cirque ! Ici c'est le génie français qui se déploie en fidélité à Vierne !
Outstanding, superb performance by M. Latry - as usual! :) A hint for the footage editing: i would let the last chord "breath" much longer at the end. It's a pity not to hear the reverb of this cathedral to its end. And although I enjoy Bach's "Wachet auf" very much, it becomes annoying to hear it as fragment after these powerful chords. just my 2 cents!
Merci D'Avoir regarde for the excellent camera work. I still wish to hear it in person,but seeing Olivier Latry's consumate skill at the console is thrilling!
I just finished watching a documentary about the rebuilding/restoration of Notre Dame. Lots of controversy over how to do it and whether it will be an historic restoration or a modern rebuild. A number of proposals are out there for the ceiling and what materials will be used. I am getting nervous about what might happen to the acoustics of the building and how the organ will sound in a room with modern materials. These recordings by Olivier Latry and Vincent Dubois may be the last we hear of this great instrument in its original sate.
@@lkrupp215 This is not about Islam. It is about a great musical instrument of a certain heritage, that we wouldn't want to lose! I'm sure Islamic traditions have similar great parts of their culture, that none of the human race should want to lose. I'm not a Catholic, but I love to hear Notre Dame's organ, and hope it can be saved 'as it was"!
One of the best organists, Monsieur Latry 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 incredible rendition! And: what a magnificent organ. Wow. What a pity. I truly hope it can be fully restored.
The Westminster Chimes (from the clock tower of London's Palace of Westminster) followed by the work that was supposedly the inspiration for the original Cambridge Chimes: 'I Know That My Redeemer Liveth' from Handel's Messiah
Alexander Schreiner's recordings of Vierne (whom he studied with) didn't use any registrations as called for by the composer. Yet, the performances were very effective none the less.
Vierne improvised the piece. It is also impossible to use the exact registration he used at Notre Dame due to modifications made to the organ over the years.
Back in the mid 1970s, when Concorde service to the US was being fought on the basis of the amount of noise it produced, then principal organist for Notre Dame, Pierre Cochereau, wrote on op-ed to the New Your Times noting he would have to take this in consideration with his American students as the sound level of the organ at Notre Dame was even louder than the Concorde !! Seems to have sped things up as Concorde service did begin in May of 1976.
@@SamCherubin Yes; and it is not a very good place for it, so high. In France, it is the common place of the organs, but not always. The organ of Saint-Ouen, a very famous Cavaillé-Coll, and even the Saint-Sulpice organ, another CC, are at the same place, but less high, and the sound is better.
I am a non-organist in love with the King of Instruments. I like this video because it shows what he's doing with the pedals. How does he keep it all straight?
...have heard so many recordings of Hans Andre-Stamm playing Bach's greatest organ works... can't understand how he adjusts to playing this (great, historic) organ 2 semitones flat (effectively sounding in Bb!). Bach's BWV 564 is a favourite, with elements of intensity not as apparent in other organ works by J.S. Bach... an opinion!
I think it quite inappropriate to preface and end this wonderful piece, expertly played, with Wachtet auf. Whoever did this has no idea what music is about not understands the first thing about the organ and especially this organ
The Ian Tracey at westminster cathedral version used to be my favourate but wow...this is a pipe dream!! I adore the Cavaille Colle organs, there's something about the tone. I would absolutely love to get a sample set of this organ!! Btw if anyone has any Colle sample sets and want to share gimme a shout

The organ sustained very little damage and is used on a continual basis, securely encased as it is.
Yes believe it will
@@TheProsaicCult the real question is, will its unique power and sound ever return without an almost 1000 year old oak roof
