I LOVE Saint-Sulpice. I had the good fortune to attend one of the Paris international organ competitions (Concours internationaux de la Ville de Paris) which are, sadly, no more. Of all of the locations used for the competition, Saint-Sulpice was my favorite. Great organ, great cathedral. People were free to come and go so I took advantage of not needing to be seated to walk very slowly through the déambulatoire while the competitors were playing. It was an amazing aural and visual experience I'll never forget.

I’ve just heard this part of the piece for the first time. The entrance of that pedal line has to be one of the most dramatic in all of organ literature... there are others equally impressive but very few...

So wonderful that one of the registrants is another one of the world's great organists, Daniel Roth, master of the Saint-Sulpice organ. And Thomas Ospital is magnificent.

The music of Duruflé was written when he was organist in Saint-Étienne-du-Mont (Paris) on an electric action organ with a (modern-type) combination action. Consequently, it is more complicated to perform at St.-Sulpice with its pneumatic stop preset system, toe-lever reed ventils, toe-lever couplers, toe-lever sub-octave couplers and the mechanical spool lever for the expression shutters than the music of Franck or Widor which was composed with the ventil system in mind. The team of registrants does a magnificent job and seamlessly change registrations, create crescendi and diminuendi and sometimes play notes which are out of range of the pedalboard. I have seen and heard this instrument in action with both Daniel ROTH and Sophie-Veronique CHAUCHEFER-CHOPLIN performing and it is an unforgettable experience regardless of how many times I've experienced the music making on the magnificent sounds of the Clicquot/Cavaillé-Coll organ!

Many thanks for this video. It is so wonderful that M. Roth is having other fine organists play at St. Sulpice. M. Dub-Attenit, you are to be commended for the efforts you have made to bring this video to us. Many thanks as well for the wonderful work you M. Roth and others did to help with all the registrations. It is always a great pleasure for us to hear M. Ospital play. The music of Durulfe comes to life once again on this magnificent organ that Durufle knew quite well. And, it is glorious how the Veni creator, a magnificent chant by itself, once again shows us the Holy Spirit in the hands of Durufle and Thomas Ospital. It was a joy to listen.

Comme la première lumière de l'aube, cette musique ouvre les yeux à de nouvelles promesses et à toutes les merveilles de la nature. Evocatrice de la croyance dans «l'au-delà» et de pouvoirs au-delà de l'observation, les pièces de Duruflé tirent les ficelles du cœur, attirent les nostalgies et éveillent les amours, les vies écorchés et les veilleurs endormis.

This royal throne of organists. This sceptred instrument. This place of majesty. This seat of Euterpe. This other Eden, demi Paradise. This fortress built by the genius of Clicquot and Cavaillé Coll which protects itself against failure and the hand of mediocrity. This happy breed of musical men on board. This little WORLD. This precious stone set in the golden heart of the city of Paris where culture and technique meets serving in the office of a wall or as a moat defenisve to a house against the envy of less happier ambiences, organs and organists. This blessed plot. This land of Art, this realm : Saint Sulpice

Thank you for using decent microphones other than the camera microphone used in so many other videos. The full glory of the instrument shows instead of the keyboard clatter.
@PierreFrancoisDUBATTENTI8 жыл бұрын
+videoduffer Thank you for your comment. I must however precise, regarding some other videos I posted with mix sound from the console (R09 Edirol) and from the nave, that it allows people to understand how this instrument works and also better feel the unique atmosphere of St-Sulpice tribune. But for "Kommst Du nun", these videos are live moments. I personally feel highly unconfortable looking at people chating / communicating and not being able to hear what they are saying, which again, is of crucial importance at Saint-Sulpice, where registrants and the organist should communicate as in music chamber. (this might surely comes from the fact I experienced these moments). As for keyboard clatter and stop action sounds, I feel happy to hear them as they are part of the instrument and would feel very depressed the day we will not hear them any more "thanks to" electric action. I believe video and pure audio are fundamentally different, but this is debatable ) Best!

Yes this is really well played and it's a magnificent instrument, but St Sulpice is not a romantic organ. About half of the pipework is by Cliquot - pre-Revolution. As for CC's part of it, it was installed in 1862. CC's "romantic" organs - say St Sernin or St Ouen - were built in the 1889/90.

Wonderful sound. Is there a particular reason the French build their organs with these rather impractical consoles needing an veritable army of registrants for a performance? A good modern draw stop console with all stops in easy reach of the organist, and a capture system is surely a little easier to plan and manage. And of course less drinks to buy afterwards.
@mumfordthepitbull45813 жыл бұрын
You need to keep in mind that in addition to being a wonderful musical instrument, this organ is also a historical artifact, in that it is about 160 years old and is essentially unchanged since being built. It was a mechanical marvel when built and is amazingly still playing with its original mechanism. Very few organs have been so fortunate.

Your opinion would be valid if those console features were available when this instrument was built roughly 150 years ago. This instrument is nearly unchanged from its original installation.
