The WDR Rundfunkchor celebrates the "Year of the Organ" with the "Missa Cum Jubilo" by Maurice Duruflé. For chief conductor Nicolas Fink, the work is particularly exciting because, although Duruflé wrote it for the death of his wife, "one never has the feeling it is a work of mourning, but it always has something comforting, sometimes even something joyful." The video was produced in August 2021 at St. Kunibert Church in Cologne with organist George Warren on the Kuhn organ.

Many composers have used plainsong and Gregorian chant in their compositions. In my humble opinion only Durufle has managed to reveal the beautiful melodious quality of them. The baritone solo in the gloria ia a wonderful example.

This is a perfect example of how to really do a classical music video. Such wonderful and inventive camera work, and all in that beautiful sunlit interior. Magnificent!

Please stop praising this recording with its focus solely on pretty video shots: apart from the baritone soli, the singing is sub-standard and lacking togetherness, making no sense because the choir part is unison, meaning the choir is supposed to sing as one single voice which is not the case here at all ... Just listen to Duruflé´s own recording (with himself as conductor and his wife Marie-Madeleine Duruflé-Chevalier as organist) and you will know how this piece is supposed to sound as the composer intended it: it was originally issued on ERATO and should now be available on Virgin Classics

Durufle did not write this following the death of his wife--she died after him.

@thomasromano9321 Жыл бұрын

Wasn't Durufle involved in a terrible auto accident which confined him for the rest of his life to his apartment? That's what I've heard. No more touring with his wife playing organ recitals and testing new organs.

@@thomasromano9321 Yes, that is correct. I consider Durufle's Requiem to be one of the greatest choral works ever written. You can hear Durufle speaking here, giving a masterclass: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gMenYMqqrLu5hH0.html

Great organist with highly alert organ playing, very interesting the sheet music transparently moving now and then in the background of the video ... Poor though the synchronisation of audio and video (here and there, the conductor seems to be one full beat behind ???), as well as the choir not singing together which is especially embarrassing because they are supposed to represent a gregorian choir singing in unison, meaning as one single man !!! Compare this recording to Maurice Duruflé´s own historic recording from the late 1960´s, recorded on ERATO and later reissued on CD by Virgin Classics: over 50 years older yet at least 50 years ahead in musical quality ... Admirable though are the baritone soli, compliments to the soloist! Also a great choice of church and organ, doing just right to Duruflé´s magnificent music ... P.S.: in a professional video, one is not supposed to see cameras or cameramen at work!
