What a performance! This is an astonishingly good transcription for organ of a very difficult piece of music for an orchestra. Each time I listen to it I hear unexpected nuances that I hadn't heard before. Bravo!!

At this time of Paganism, we would say that Bernhard Haas is a god of music.

Happily, besides the organ was removed from Zurich Tonhalle, it will be available again in 2020 in Slovenia. The church where it’s going to be installed is called “Zupnija marijinega vnebovzetja” and the installation will be supervised by Jean Guillou

no, he used the replay system of the Kleuker organ, a couple of voixes were recorded first, then , on top of the organ playing by a VHS cassette replay system, Haas plays the rest of the voices live

As Prof. Haas told me personally, he recorded everything without any helping tools or assistance.

@@Eli-nn3td he used the replay system, back in the day it was a VHS recorder driven one, I used it myself for my CD recording on the same organ. The score is for 2 organists and can by no means be played all at once. You seem to be not that well informed, as Bernhard Haas is an ex studies colleague of mine at the Guillou Master Classes

@@jean-jacqueskaselorganreco6879 Well, I do not know.... Bernhard Haas created his own transcription and played it (once) live at the Stuttgart University years ago. Enough students and professors have heard this. He would definitely be able to play it himself. However, this transcription is unofficial because the Stravinsky heirs only accepted the 2 piano player version. But it exists...

@@treibhaus8088 I know all this, as I am a student colleague of Bernhard at the Guillou Masterclasses.This recording was made with half the text recorded on the replay of the Tonhalle organ and he played the second part of the score on the running replay.You can be 100% sure that I know what he did, as we talked a lot about and he prepared actually parts of the work together with Maître Guillou. So I DO know

RIP l'orgue de la Tonhalle. Bien meilleur que la version pour orgue à 4 mains.Et quand on pense que le CD a été interdit, je pense par les héritiers de Stravinsky. Je l'ai et ne m'en séparerais sous aucun prétexte. C'est un témoignage de l'art de la conception d'orgue et du style d'exécution totalement SUPERIEUR induit par Jean Guillou.

What a sad loss. Apparently the expert committee found the instrument to be unsuitable and insufficient. As they always do when someone wants a new toy. I guess they want something easy going, something with that generally beautiful lack of character so popular these days.

I (and not only) think that it was a political decision... or a stage play, if you prefer. The previous organ was built by Kleuker and Steinmeyer (both German). By mere chance, the new organ will be built by a well known Swiss organ maker...
@JanPBtest Жыл бұрын
I think the official version of the story is that while this organ was (and is) a great solo instrument, it did not blend with the sound of the orchestra. IIRC the complaints were like "there are only two usable stops with the orchestra" etc. Whether this is true or not I don't know.

It's interesting, and very good for an organ transcription. But, even more than with the piano four hands written by Stravinsky, a keyboard interpretation of course can't capture the percussion.

That would require a theatre organ or US style town hall symphonic instrument (which would also have percussion).

Both the Michael Tilson Thomas/Ralph Grierson two piano recording and the Rex Lawson realization of the pianola version capture the percussion pretty well.

Cher Monsieur, je peux parfaitement comprendre votre indignation, mais vous devriez savoir que le sacré a déserté les temples depuis longtemps et que le "diable est dans le bénitier". Le "coup de grâce" fut porté par Vatican 2, comme vous devez le savoir, à moins que vous soyez un admirateur fervent des oeuvres de "Soeur Sourire", ah ah ah ! On peut d'abord commencer par s'interroger sur l'introduction de ces grosses machines aussi spirituelles que sensuelles, que sont ces orgues, dans les temples. On doit aussi s'interroger sur le répertoire de musique étiquetée sacrée du baroque, du romantisme et du siècle dernier : ne trouvez-vous pas certaine oeuvres religieuses de Poulenc ou de Messiaen fort peu "orthodoxes", dans leurs débordements ou effets ? Que je sache, cette exécution du "Sacre" n'a pas été accompagnée de Bacchanales ? Si un autre orgue, installé ailleurs que dans une église, avait convenu à cette exécution, je suppose qu'il aurait été utilisé. Je suppose que les orgues des églises ont servi, depuis très longtemps, à l'exécution de musiques non religieuses. Et enfin, si vous ne connaissiez pas le programme de cette musique de ballet et qu'elle portait un titre à la Messiaen, genre "Vision d'apocalypse", seriez-vous indigné ? Que je sache, cette oeuvre n'est pas dédiée à Satan, ça n'est pas du Rock ou du Punk ! La Tradition chrétienne a banni le paganisme gréco-romain, pour s'imposer, mais en s'étendant, il est entré inévitablement au contact des religions "païennes" et a produit des cultes locaux plus ou moins "impurs". Et vous savez aussi comment le culte chrétien a évolué, muté, avec la Renaissance. Si vous voulez trouver de l'obscénité érotique païenne, allez notamment au Vatican, ou soyez protestants, si vous ne l'êtes déjà ! Mais vous savez que les obsédés de la pureté sont aussi les plus torturés par l'impureté, et que cela produit de la maladie mentale et bien des perversions cachées. Je pense, au travers de votre indignation, que c'est quelque chose de ce genre qui vous préoccupe, non ? La condition humaine est celle d'une lutte intérieure. Un certain Bruckner a souffert de cela; ce sont des souffrances de mystique !
