- www.kulturbanat.eu Olivier Latry is one of the official partners of the Kultur Banat New Organ Project for Romania. The goal of the project is to put a brand new french organ in the new catholic church from Resita, Banat, Romania in order to help the ever growing organ tradition which is developing constantly due to the efforts of the Kultur Banat Association and the people of the City of Resita

This was a special mass for the Paris fire brigade, and Latry based this improvisation on the sound of a fire engine’s siren. Fast forward a few years, and here we are: the cathedral is on fire. Ironic to say the least, but hopefully all is not lost and the organ is saved…
EDIT: The organ is miraculously untouched after the fire!
When it reopens he should do this again, if not for them would Notre Dame still be standing?
@Jadiel Fox Yup, I have been using instaflixxer for since november myself :)
To those who wonder what it is like to be in the loft when Mr. Latry unleashes something like this, let me assure you from personal experience that it is like the cathedral itself is singing, with everything solid in vibration, as if the atmosphere itself suddenly became a series of solid things, clashing, and rushing by. Under all that moving air, you feel as exhilarated as if you were crouched beneath a storm passing by just overhead. It is something like that.
Not entirely comfortable. Is that what you're saying?
@Maikind K. Yes, he's a true gentleman and very kind.
@J. K. He is!
I really would like to meet him
Amen
I love how he hops off the organ like he just finished eating lunch. Completely unfazed by what he just did
Praying for Olivier Latry and the people of Notre Dame and Paris.
Organ is saved
@@orgelfan1675 but has severe water damage and has dust and soot all over it.
@@TheJakeman789 I didn't hear there was water damage
THAT is organ music!! That's what the s-o-b was built to do!! And no one can do it like Latry. I'm just blown away speechless!
+Andork Cuomo This is music for video. Cochereau, we miss you...
I keep coming back to this one. As others have commented, not a lot of counterpoint, subtlety, and what-not, but Latry is a top-shelf organist -- as demonstrated in his new recording of the complete works of Messiaen. Here, he just puts his foot to the floor and rocks the house. It's not always what you want to hear at the end of a Sunday service, but to get some from time to time... makes me want to move to Paris!
Horrible... Pierre Cochereau is and will stay the King of improvisation, for ever.
Monsieur Latry is a BEAST when it comes to the organ. I'm a church organist myself, but nothing even close to that caliber. Latry, I will admit, has inspired some of my improvisations in my small church.
BMP
please i beg you to sit in front of an organ and play hot cross buns let alone attempt to play something like this. Keep your mouth shut unless you can play ass well as this
iSNARK! I’m sure many in this room would love to hear your improvisations. We wouldn’t compare you with M. Latry, but rather would comment on your playing on your own merits. Please, give this room a shot!
I was filled with horror and great sadness as I watched Notre Dame burning yesterday. This particular improvisation comes with a lot of irony, given that it followed a Mass dedicated to the firefighters of Paris, its motif being based on the sound of fire-engine sirens.
Imagine the mass at Notre-Dame hadn't been dedicated to the firefighters! ... They would have refused to rush to protect the building ...!
Listening to his improvisation, I would find it impossible to want to leave the building (which is the whole purpose of the Recessional). French improvisation is very unique and rich in tradition and has created a large quantity of amazing performances. Bravo! I wish success for the New Organ Project.
Once he starts I have already left...flown off into the Spirit World!!!
If anyone where to accurately transcribe this as an orchestral piece, finding in an orchestra the exact timbres Latry creates, they would compose one of the great symphonic preludes of their century, they’d be master orchestrators.
And all that was just in a bit of improvised music that just fell from Latry’s fingers.
RIP Notre Dame De Paris. You will rise again and your music will thunder once more!
They think they've saved the main structure of the cathedral.
@DANIEL GOLDEN Unfortunately, it isn't.
St Sulpice. Interesting. Not seen much about the fire there a month ago. Also about the vandalization at St Denis.
It is a miracle to see the organ standing still after the fire without extremely critical damages. It will need a big restoration indeed but it is a pretext to be happy to see the instrument on its place!
@DANIEL GOLDEN Organ is 'OK' it is set well back between the towers, nor the water or flames got any where near it in it's 'cave' Just smoke and minor debris...also the wind was taking the fire toward the alter. It's all a bit of a minor miracle !
Just awesome, he just takes all of the BREATH out of the organ.... he cleans the air in the church with his music...when you finish listening to Lantry you are tired and worn out....
I'm not tired and worn out, I listen to Oliver Lantry again and again !
@@ConstanceMcHine ditto
I ran out of goosebumps! 😂❤
What an incalculably heartbreaking loss to the people of France and the world. May this wonderful music some day again reverberate around the walls of a restored Notre Dame.
When I was in Paris many years ago, I visited Notre Dame. It so happened that there was a service starting as I was wandering around the church, sightseeing. Suddenly the most amazing sounds filled the church, I froze, listening, in awe of the master playing the organ. Afterwards I asked in the lady in the information booth if it was indeed M. Latry, and she confirmed that it was. I have been to many concerts, as audience and as a performer, but this is one of my finest memories.
This piece brings me to tears with it's power ❤
I can only hope for the sake of Latry, the French peoples, and all of the music world that the great pipes have been spared. My heart aches for Our Lady.
Out of the ashes......Early indications are that the great organ has survived! May be a long time before we hear its voice again but reconstruction will give it another life.
Yup....you can hear the Cavaille-Coll in it again after the Cochereau era.
Those Parisian improvisers! A better improviser than this you'll never be...
If I remember rightly, I believe I was once told that this was a special service in celebration of the Fire Brigade and that Latry's improvisation was based on the 'nee-naw' of a fire engine.
It is firey, for sure. And so many patterns repeat over and over, seemingly four times each - or more. He is amazing.
Reading this now is so ironic and eerie...
the man is not of this planet! He is awesome and unbelievable, a gift from God.
Jarringly photographed by overwhelmed camera operator, but a splendid capture of this Latry spectacular improvisation
before that dreadful fire.
If you ever make it to the pearly gates and enter within, THIS has to be sound which will greet you. Just amazingly wonderful.
Love the chamades
Utterly Mind Blowing. WOW
Great impro. As mentioned by one commentator, this concludes a service dedicated to the Paris fire brigade, hence the opening theme - the fire truck siren.
So eerie after today's inferno...
@@tinkaluisa8540Thanks to the amazing work of les pompiers the building is still standing, the organ has been saved and most of the important stained glass is intact. A professor of fire science is quoted in todays (London) Times as saying that he expects Notre Dame to become a textbook example of how to fight fire in an old building.
A remarkable talent for improvising this organist has!
(It will take me a year just to learn the use of all of those stops!! )
Just overwhelming and phantastic........Im only a violinist in orchestra. In my next life I will become an organist and rock the church like this.
One of the best performances in my preferences skilled proficiently. 👏👏👏👏👏👏 BRAVO INDEED ! 😀
An absolute joy to my ears. Full of hope, inspiration and grandeur.
I am on my knees...!!! That is the queen of instruments!...and a master makes her shine!
I love it! This is what you expect when you attend mass in Notre Dame de Paris. Big organ!
I hope that he will decide, as soon as possible to compose great symphonies.
I learned how to improvise by listening to Latry. I could care less about the theory. Improvisation mostly has to deal with listening and experimentation as far as I'm concerned.
some people really do not know how to appreciate fantastic art which comes just from the finger tips of a simple human being!!! He is flesh and bones like all of us! he's just different in a way that he's one of the few privileged persons on earth who really enjoy what he does and that's why he is so successful!!!
Your Kultur Banat - R.R.A.
One of the most uplifting things I've heard!
J'ai une pensée pour Olivier latri ce soir, qui doit être fort triste de voir la cathédrale en feu et par ailleurs l instrument dont il est titulaire, les grands orgues de notre Dame de Paris 😢😢
He is phenomenal. You may argue about this or quibble about that but Latry gets it done. The combination of organist, organ and that space is unforgettable.
This fellow could be the Phantom at my Opera any day of the week. WOW! What incredible talent! 😊
People...after a bottle of Bordeaux Wine & bit of Camembert cheese I decided to post also a comment, maybe because I went through most of the comments or maybe because it is time to do so... anyway I just want to make some clarifications...undoubtedly it was my best organ life experience ever...O.L. is one of the kindest persons you can really imagine...the stunning sound of his playing and of course the result of Cavaille Coll's work
I am so happy I heard Latry in a concert in NYC some years ago.
A true master in organ music truly wonderful to listen to!
That’s insane!
So heart breaking! Today the fire and all that is left is memories, I pray that the towers don't burn. so that Paris will still have some of Notre Dam's voices to continue to enrich the city with the sound of bells which seemed to have been ringing since the dawn of man
News reports say that the bell tower survived, and the damage, while serious, is not as catastrophic as originally feared. I received one unconfirmed report that the organ escaped with little damage. Hoping that turns out to be true.
it was true! thank Christ.. imagine losing this incredible instrument
No wonder churches are always fundraising for roof-repairs...lol....
Just spectacular.... :D
+Simon Murray O yes, this is also one of the world's luodest working places for organists... but the chamade in La Madeleine is louder than in ND.
Needs to be a big fund for the roof now, it’s burned down 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This comment was a prophecy
(even though some things were changed during the restoration from 1991 ) cannot be portrayed by any video recording!!!And that's a fact! I didn't put the recording just to show that I was there, I've put it just because I wanted to share a glimpse of what really is THE crème de la crème of pipe organ business. I wanted to put other recordings with Monsieur Latry but I've decided that it's better to keep these memories just for my self because
It doesn't stink, not at all boring - just awesome! Forget normality, all the fucking lies. And listen.
top top !!
It's musical logic on fire!!!!!
Grandi doti esecutive, grande strumento ma, per me, musica insignificante !
For the record, I enjoyed this improvisation very much! It boggles the mind... I hope to hear mr. Latry some time, in a church or a concert hall.
This is all we have now to remember this magnificent instrument. The fire must be the work of Satan.
Satan should pay for the repairs!
I heard the organ survived the fire.
That was absolutely incredible
EXCELLENT AND EXCITING EXPOSITION OF WELL ORGANIZED HARMONIES AND RHYTHMS.
AND IMPROVISION VERY WELL DONE, UNLIKE SO MANY OTHERS. FELICATICIONS.
Definitely a master of his craft! I really enjoyed watching this! He makes it look so easy, lol.
Tearing it up
fantastic to hear!! some textures, rhythms and harmonies seemed to remind me of a piece called "fluorescence" (sadly the name of the composer escapes me) but it's just phenomenal how he plays!!
Woah..... Absolutely amazing.. !
sophelet:
The improvisation Olivier Latry is doing in this video is at the very end of Mass, the when the people are dismissed and the clergy process out of the sanctuary. Latry is invoking a cataclysmic sending forth, coupled with the elation of being filled with the invigorating presence of Jesus Christ after Holy Communion.
The pieces organists do are keyed to what is happening liturgically at any given time, and some of those are indeed hushed and intimate, but this isn't one of them. :)
I’d say a “cataclysmic sending forth” is as good a description as any. If you think of some Catholic theologians’ interpretation of Revelations as a grand, symbolic narrative about the one and eternal victory of Christ _now,_ then it’s not only cataclysmic, it’s positively _apocalyptic._
What, no applause at the end? How reserved the French are!
It is Mass. It is all for the glory of God, and I bet the organ player appreciates that.
He is very good at what he does, indeed!
It's true, as a church organist / musician I always roll my eyes when the congregation applauds after the recessional is done (assuming if they even do stay). I do appreciate personal face-to-face feedback and compliments though not the general applause as if the Mass is a concert.
Really amazing. Must go to Paris!!!
La virtuosité très élevée de l'artiste est indiscutable et bien prouvée, l'orgue a des qualités bien connues, mais est-ce que les fidèles présents dans l'église apprécient cela, surtout ceux qui ne sont pas familiers de la musique de ce type, on peut en douter.
About all I can say is WoW!! My cousin just heard him in TX in concert, first I've known of him.
I saw him twice last month, and met him briefly. What an amazing human being -- so gifted, so acclaimed, and yet he's touring to raise funds to help support his Notre-Dame co-workers who now are unemployed due to the fire. Greatness, humility and kindness all in one person.
I admire him!!!!!!!!
Molto bravo, bellissimo brano.
Just, and simple: Thank you, Olivier.
Amazing, Pedal work was also very impressive.
This is Special, thank you Olivier, such passion a true master.
As usual, MAGNIFICENT!!!!
tres beau
He is the best improviser
Madness, un vrai maître sur un instrument impressionnant! Super!
Wahnsinn, ein wahrer Meister an einem beeindruckenden Instrument! Toll!
Madness, a true master on an impressive instrument! Great!
It's Literally Like The Heavens Are In Full Affect When Listening To Maestro O. Latry On The GREAT Organ!!! Breathtaking Indeed!!!
Absolutely fabulous!!
Incredible virtuosity!
Dear God, would you ever keep the camera or phone still...
Throw up
@@davidpage25 throw up deez nuts!!!
@@DJDevvin cringe
That's one way to start a nuclear atomic reaction... with grace, imagination and faith in the Presence of the Almighty. Thank you Olivier.
holy smoke, amazing
Simplement, j'aime beaucoup.....
It's the best. It doesn't get better than this. Trust me.
Olivier Latry is a Great , Extremelly Talented from the Triune God Organist and when playing the Organ the Whole Heaven United with the Earth !!!!! Amazing !!!!!!!!
Very great chamades at 1:00
Het orgel klinkt hier als een brulaap in het oerwoud. Het is zoals gewoonlijk met Latry.....veel geschreeuw maar weinig wol. Spelen kan hij zeker maar als improvisator hoor ik veel liever Daniel Roth.
Jammer van al die moeite en het oorverdovende LAWAAI

Yes the balance of the instrument was changed in 1990-92 in the last overall where two further ranks of en chamade (horizontal) reeds were added, meaning five ranks in total. Used sparingly it's ok but invariably all are used and you may as well be in a cattery. Cats and more cats, and ear damage at the same time.
Im shocked the church is on fire😭😭😭
It takes a lot of imagination to grasp what this must have sounded like (mind blowing) in the nave. This video sounds like it was recorded not just on someone's phone, but OVER someone's phone - through the lousy, low res phone line. The sound is terrible. Not only that, but the worst place in the room to hear an organ like this is at the console. The instrument is simply not voiced to sound good at the console - it's voiced for that massive nave. So it really does take a lot of mental processing to imagine what this sounded like downstairs.
But that's all beside the point. Someone in the organ loft had the wit to pull out their phone and grab this, an incredibly valuable record of an event, and of a musical genius at work. Regardless of the sound quality, thanks for posting.
And their is some real tragedy in this: the organist him/herself actually never is able to listen to how his /her music sounds in the nave...... That is quite unique for this instrument.
Pas si mal, Mssr. Latry.
Great!
Imagine if he just burst into some Deep Purple haha. This is absolutely fantastic! Kind of reminded me of an epic sci fi film score.
@organistpeter Na ja er hatte ein bisschen Glück gehabt und eine gute Erziehung von den besten der besten gekriegt Dazu ist er auch ein netter Mensch...
When my dad used to do this, we called it "dweezling around on the organ". Dweezling is a simple method of improvising that involves quite a lot of rather aimless but pleasing effects, and movement simply for the sake of carrying on. I wonder if the people in the congregation felt they were slipping through a movie montage.
excellent!
Ite, missa est. Deo gratias.
I take my hat off to M. Latry and others of his outstanding talent. Does anybody understand why it is that these enormous spaces seem to invite the style of improvisation such as that shown here It seems as if this sort of instant composition finds its roots in the late m Dupre of Saint Sulpice. Similarly the late M. Cochereau played many a final improvisation in this full organ approach topped off at the end with batteries of chamades and B-52' type 32' Bombardes!
Блестящий!
Hearing damage accumulated = [(distance of En Chamade from console) x (amount of time playing the with said En Chamade on)] / (Olivier Latry's hearing damage)
Holy Smokes my shoes and socks just flew off!!!!
LOL
Great improvisation! Does anybody know if somewhere exists a written course or a book on the theory behind this magnificent style of improvisation?
haha - how appropriate that theme of this improvisation is a fire engine siren!!
Maitre Latry is a good "dweezler" then! All joking aside, i'm amazed at how relaxed he is while dweezling. I bet this organ must be incredible to hear live. Feels like i'm listening to power in 4D, and that's only on my headphones...
@BOEINGPILOT777
ja doch, er kann Deutsch, mit einem charmantem französischen Akzent:)
A shame you cannot hold the camera still.
