I'm trying to figure out why there are not more recordings of this absolutely brilliant organist and improvisationalist!! She could produce an outstanding album just based on her absolutely beautiful and fresh improvisations!!! They are modern without getting too abstract and very symphonic. She knows how to play the room's acoustic as well in allowing those gorgeous CC reeds to just bloom. Between her and Daniel Roth, you have have the most amazing assemblage of organists you could ever want!!

When listening to Mme Sophie Veronique Cauchefer Choplin I also think of Mme Jeanne Demessieux. Mme Choplin and Mme Demessieux are my two favorite organists to admire and listen to. I hope that one day like Mme Demessieux, Mme Choplin will give us some written compositions and transcriptions of her fantastic improvisations.

I'm every time amazed that some human beings are able to do that and produce such beauty with only their 10 fingers and 2 feet. I'm also amazed that some human minds were able to conceive and build such huge instruments, so well-sounding, for the incerdibly gifted people that produce such wonders for the benefit of mankind.

This is the finest and most magnificent improvisation I have ever heard. Sophie is a true master musician. Truly divine inspiration on this piece, building on a theme that rises in a crescendo to an awe inspiring finale. From the reeds on the fifth manual (what a reach!) to having all the divisions coupled together at the end. Love seeing the mechanical action with the keys moving. Her sheer joy at the end knowing that she has created a masterpiece.

You're reading far too much religiosity in to this. They use the Grand Choeur (I) the most because that's where the barker machine is and that makes life much simpler on this instrument.
@MDLRX8 Жыл бұрын
@@praestant8 You miss Andrew's point. She stated the theme on the Solo, manual V, not the easy-to-reach Grand Choeur (I). It is fun to see all the keys moving when she couples them all together, even if the Barker machine is making it possible to play them.

An anointed genius, open to the prompting of the Holy Spirit. One of my teachers said, "one must have the spark." He could improvise a five-voice mirror fugue. Sophie-Veronique has more than the spark: she has THE GIFT. A rare and precious gift from the Almighty, the Lord and Giver of Life. The tune? "God the Omnipotent" - a Russian hymn. "Sto Lat", Sophie-Veronique!

She absolutely transports me. Does anyone realize that the organ at St. Sulpice has (or had) no swell pedals. But it has tons of couplers. And it is the monster of all mechanical tracker machines. Marcel Dupre loved this instrument. We all love Sophie-Veronique.
@danielnerad66713 жыл бұрын
It has a swell box - the fourth manual. The swell is operated by the foot lever on the left corner of the console. And there are used "Barker levers" that make the playing easier for organist.
@davidminton5176 Жыл бұрын
The control for the Recit swell shades is on the RIGHT side (at the treble end of the Pedale clavier). It is a spring-loaded hitch-down lever (or "spoon"). It can be set into notches to hold the shades at half open and fully open. With constant pressure with the foot (either the organist or console assistant), the volume of the Recit can be varied infinitely.
