Marcel Dupré plays his own Cortege et Litanie (Opus 19 No.2) in St Sulpice, Paris. This stereo recording from the Mercury label was made in 1959, the transfer from mint condition LPs (not master tapes) to CD was performed by those clever people at Haydn House. See their website www.haydnhouse.com/organ_loft.htm for more information. The organ as you can hear is a bit out of tune and Dupré himself makes the odd slip here and there, but he was 73! I find his playing just exquisite and of ...

Marie-Claire Alain plays Theodore Dubois: Toccata. ''3 Pieces Nouvelles (12) pour orgue''. St. Sulpice. This church has one of the world's finest and most beautiful organs, built by Cavaille-Coll in 1862, using substantial materials from the church's earlier organ by Cliquot (1781).

Marcel Dupré improvising on the gregorian theme Veni Creator Spiritus on his instrument in St Sulpice. He clocked up 37 years as titulaire, though this is nothing compared to his teacher Widor, who managed 63 years in the post, leaving when he was 89! It should be noted however, that Dupré was a mere 75 years old when this recording was made :-) The chant Veni Creator Spiritus (Come, Holy Spirit Creator) has been attributed to Rabanus Maurus (776-856), it is often used on important occasions ...

www.melcot.com We had arrived to Saint Sulpice and did an interview with Daniel Roth for our TourBus series. Afterward Daniel asked Carol if she would like to play the organ. Carol sat down and played this with no rehearsal, I recorded.

Marcel Dupré plays his own Carillon from Sept Pieces (Opus 27) in St Sulpice, Paris. This stereo recording from the Mercury label was made in 1959, the transfer was made from mint condition LPs (not master tapes) to CD by those clever people at Haydn House. The transfers from the LP are nothing short of remarkable, considering the master tapes are either lost or unavailable. I will put up the Final from Sept Piéces and a Prelude and Fugue Op36 from the same CD another time. In due course I ...

Le Banquet Celeste -- one of Messiaen's more accessible pieces. I've spent 40 years trying to decide how I feel about his music. I know I SHOULD like it. True story. In early 1972, my hometown (Washington, DC) was all abuzz. Or at least the Washington Catholic community was. Messiaen was coming to town to play the World Premiere of his "Meditations on the Mystery of the Holy Trinity" [now there's a title to warm the cockles of a good Catholic's heart ;-) ]. As a lapsed Methodist & an organ ...

The Andante Sostenuto from Widor's Symphonie Gothique, recorded in 1932. Even after 75 years, & even given the primitiveness of the recording, those limpid Cavaillé-Coll flutes are still spine-tingling.

Marcel Dupré composed the 3 Preludes & Fugues (Opus 7) that we all know & love when he was 28; the second set (Opus 36, of which this is #1) when he was 52. There are those that say the second set is more "contemplative" & "mature." I've got another description: boring. When you look at the list of his works, you see that his most inventive work was done before he turned 45. He was certainly prolific until just a few years before his death. But, with a few notable exceptions (the Deux ...

FRENCH SUBTITLES AVAILABLE : click on the right corner at the bottom of the video to add them I've decided to upload some videos of Natalie's performances, even though they already are on YouTube, but with english subtitles, because when I'm watching an opera, I'd rather like to know what's going on. So there it is. If you want me to add different subtitles, just tell me, I'll see what I can do. Natalie Dessay - Manon Lescaut Rolando Villazon - Le Chevalier des Grieux Barcelona, 2007...
