Magnifique interprétation! Thank you Thomas👏👏👏 One of the best organists!
I salute you Thomas for your impeccable and masterful rendition: it is not at all a matter of course to do justice to this demanding masterpiece but you did it, a beautiful convergence of composition, instrument and interpretation: BRAVO !!!
Outstanding in every way!!
Génial !!!
I played this piece in 1980 for my degree finals and it has remained one of my favourite organ pieces ever since - along with the Poulenc concerto. Hearing and watching this I can't imagine now how I ever did it.!Thank you Thomas for bringing this touch of nostalgia to me and for a truly magnificent performance.
Amazingly astonishing
Bravo, c'est très beau, cette musique est très inspirante et pénètre dans les méandres de nos âmes...
Le tempo parfait pour moi , Superbe Merci ...
Marvelous! And , being a Dutch organist. I am proud of the firma Van den Heuvel who built this beautiful instrument!
This is an amazing instrument. Truly symphonic, played by Thomas Ospital. He is stunning; more string or piano?
I am astounded that the French would let a Foreigner' touch one of their premier grand organs!
@@normanchristie4524 Goodness! I do hope you're at least half kidding :) ...would love to hear him play our Wanamaker instrument, have been in awe of that since childhood. Spectacular still. What beauty
@@normanchristie4524 touch it? They threw most of it out except for the facade and started over. Jean Guillot did the specification and they nuit it. If you’re interested go on the builders website and learn about it.
@@brucetominello325 The name is Jean Guillou (not "Guillot", even less "Guillotine" 😀) and you bet Jan van den Heuvel knew what he was doing: he kept the original 32-foot Trombone despite sounding like not much better than a muted Bassoon and added an overwhelming 32-foot Contre-Bombarde (at his own cost, he dedicated the stop to his employer, the City of Paris) ... Any questions left?
Superbe>!! 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶👌🏻
Best performance I've ever heard of this piece. Fabulous.
Must agree: one of the finest and most fluid interpretations of the piece, worthy of an SACD-recording
All the Pathos- all the atmosphere- all the charme and introspection. Perfectly played. Bravo!
A most wonderful experience to hear. As if from another world. Magnificent...
Certainly the most complimentary tribute piece ever written.
Great comment
Wow, that's a powerful thing you did there, chapeau!
I know the piece well because I played it in my final organ examination. And everything by heart, superb.
IMHO the greatest piece of organ music not composed by Bach. I wouldn't have believed it possible to have a better performance than Lisa Hummel's until I heard this. Absolutely awe-inspiring.
100% agree, this and Lisa Hummel's performace are my all-time favourites of this piece.
The gift of being able to play from memory - wonderful - and hands like that!
Absolute perfection.
Merci pour ce beau moment de musique !
Here I am again . . . cannot get enough of this composition, organ or performer! And to think he is in the USA one state down 350 miles away this week and I cannot go to idolize him!
I envy all of you people at Longwood Gardens this week . . . especially the youngsters!!! @ThomasOspital #ThomasOspital
Maurice Duruflé + Jan L. van den Heuvel + Thomas Ospital = l'alchimie de la perfection !
Very beautiful!!
charmant enregistrement de cette œuvre magique!
Mille mercis pour ces instants de grâce!!!
C'est absolument magnifique. Merci.
inspiring, beautiful, energetic, powerful, graceful…..W O W
CHAPEAU, Thomas!!
Simplement magnifique , un grand merci Thomas Ospital.
Always enjoy your playing Thomas.
A ma prochaine venue parisienne, je fonce à St Eustache pour voir l’orgue et peut-être pour avoir la chance de vous croiser Thomas. Je serais honorer de vous rencontrer et de vous complimenter.
Pour autant que je sache, Thomas donne pas mal d´auditions de l´orgue de St. Eustache pour recueillir les fonds pour sa restauration
vous m'avez emporté deux larmes.
I would love to hear you play more Durufle. And maybe Durufle Requiem without the choir.
How funny you should say this: Maurice Duruflé originally conceived his Requiem for organ solo but changed his mind while working on it ...
Un grand merci cher Thomas! Merci pour la poésie de cette interprétation. Ce Prélude et Fugue est souvent précipité. Ici la poésie est partout : l'attente avant le dernier accord du prélude, la fin du thème A avant de passer au plein jeu du récit et du coup, les paliers d'accélération de la fin prennent tout leur relief. Un bravo du fond du cœur!
Excellent
Non voglio sprecare aggettivi pomposi,ma un “meraviglioso”ci sta!
Voilà un super organiste... lui au moins est doué et ne joue pas de la musique Chewing gum comme la plupart de ces grands organistes qui, dès qu'ils sont devant un grand instrument, les mélodies sont insignifiantes, et comme on dit auourd'hui c'est du n'imp!!!.. Entre nous j'ai connu cet instrument sous Jean Guilloux qui lui aussi, était très talentueux tout comme le regretté Pierre Pincemaille... Bravo pour Thomas! les basques sont les meilleurs!
His famous predecessor was called Jean Guillou (without "x") who master-minded the magnificent organ of St. Eustache as we know it today
Che razza di organista! E che razza di organo! Che bello! Grazie!
Best I've ever heard!
Must agree: one of the finest and most fluid interpretations of the piece, worthy of an SACD-recording
Merci Thomas…permettez moi votre prénom….quel rêve…quelle grandeur aussi et quel calme et paix dans le jardin féerique…St Eustache a bien de la chance de vous avoir! Un organiste liturgique français.
Merci Thomas A bientôt
Je n’ai aucun adjectif pouvant qualifier la beauté de cette fugue, je pourrais dire: extraordinaire, pour orienter mon propos 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Bravo !
Beautiful in every way.
The music from 11'00" is for being welcomed into Heaven!
Merveilleusement joué cher Thomas. Cette interprétation vaut un "Generalschlüssel" pour toutes les églises du monde ! 😉

A wondrful interpretation of this marvelous piece! Bravo, Mr. Hospital! C’est vraiment magnifique!
Magnifique !! Merci beaucoup !
Et bravo !
Excellent!
Wonderful!
One of my favorite pieces, and now my favorite performance of it! Merci! How about a totally Duruflé album of all his organ works?
January 22, 1902 Louviers, Eure, France - June 16, 1986, Louveciennes, Yvelines, France, age 84
It's so amazing that all his works (14), much less "all his organ works" (8) are SO VERY FEW!:
op 02 Scherzo 1928
op 04 Prélude, Adagio et Choral Vari Veni Creator 1930
op 05 Suite pour orgue, Prélude, Sicilienne & Toccata 1932
op 07 Prélude et Fugue sur le nom d`Alain 1942
op 09 Requiem pour choeur et orgue 1947
op 11 Messe Cum Jubilo 1966 1 Kyrie, 2 Gloria, 3 Sanctus, 4 Benedictus, 5 Agnus Dei
op 12 Fugue sur le thème du Carillon des Heures de la Cathedrale de Soissons 1962
op 13 Prélude sur l'Introït de l'Épiphanie 1961
op posth. Méditation for organ circa 1964
====================
Again, even his TOTAL works for all instrumentation are a mere FOURTEEN
(not counting the first one lost)!!!
op 01 Tryptique: Fantaisie sur des thèmes grégoriens 1927; revised 1943 for piano, unpublished?, lost?
op 03 Prélude récitatif et variations pour flûte viola et piano 1928
op 06 Trois danses pour orchestre 1932
op 08 Andante & scherzo pour orchestre 1940
op 10 Quatre motets sur des thèmes grégoriens 1960,
1 Ubi caritas, 2 Tota pulchra es, 3 Tu es Petrus, 4 Tantum ergo
1 Where love-charity, 2 Thou art all beautiful, 3 Thou art Peter, 4 Therefore so great
op 14a Notre Pére (Our Father) original unison version 1977
op 14b Notre Pére (Our Father) SATB version 1978
It is said that his so ferociously perfectionist nature so led him to destroy works he found inferior that his dear wife took to HIDING them lest they be destroyed, otherwise we might not have even these few treasures!
@@russedav5Even though his Suite survived, Duruflé was never satisfied with the Toccata, rewriting it several times and refusing to record it himself. When Virgil Fox visited his Paris apartment and stated he was going to perform it Duruflé reportedly asked him not to perform the Toccata.
@@russedav5 Maurice Duruflé apparently adopted the habit of his great master Paul Dukas to destroy most of his compositions and publish only very few of them: all of his works neatly fit on no more than 3 CDs ... What it lacks in quantity, it makes up for by its out-of-this-world quality

Thank you for this absolutely superb performance Thomas
Simply a breath-taking performance of one of my favorite works. Bravo, Maestro!
Jean and Marie-Claire Alain would certrainly approve. Brilliant.
At least as important: the composer Maurice Duruflé would have fondly approved of this interpretation
There is so much nostalgia, tenderness, sorrow and yearning in this performance. But the section starting at 5:37 just breaks my heart. The loss of Jean Alain was such a tragedy for the musical world.
Quel régal! Merci Thomas .
Bravo!
A Masterly and a very mature highly sensitive performance with full respect for the composition and the tradition. Very open articulation which shows the full musical potential of this piece.
Bravo! Breathtaking interpretation, Thomas!
excellent
How can a human being make such heavenly, perfect music with every note on the right place?
I always thought that NASA missed a bet when they selected the first US astronauts: Rather than selecting test pilots, they should have selected organists.
@@roblindauer6521 That makes me think of the film INTERSTELLAR, mixing austronaut feats with organist music: not by coincidence I guess
Je vais vous donner un like - malgré les questions et réserves subjectives bien connues.
Un vrai moment de paradis! Oeuvre superbe, magnifique interprétation, Montage vidéo intelligent et qui suit bien la musique, le trait final de pédalier doit demander une attention particulière! Un grand merci !
Magnífica interpretação. Timbres bem escolhidos, técnica limpa e precisa e musicalidade a flor da pele.
