C. Saint-Saens - Danse Macabre (Olivier Latry, organ)

[@Euphoftoday]

One of the greatest organists ever

[@pauleloidelanoy]

THE greatest organist ever !😉🤣🎶

[@pauleloidelanoy]

@nintnelavsalocin5173 You know, I wrote a "😉🤣" so it was a little bit of humour ! ➡Actually, in organ music, every great organist is the best organist ever, while you're playing his works : ➡so when you play Bach, to you, Bach sounds the greatest musician ever, and when you listen to Olivier Latry, you find him the best organist/ improvisator in the world, at the moment you listen to them ! 😉

[@Lou31510]

I never know what to say about this guy because his talent is so far beyond my limits appreciation but I enjoy every video of his and hope he gets his beloved Nortre Dame Cathedral and it's Organ back soon.

[@davidmace3716]

Fantastic organist, had the great pleasure of seeing him in concert at Liverpool Anglican Cathedral a few years ago, he played the entire programme without a single sheet of music in front of him, pure genius.

[@bunkytony]

Each time I hear Olivier Latry play, I know it's bizzare, I can just imagine Marcel Dupres, J.S. Bach, Widor, Franck, Max Reger, all their ghosts standing around the console just marveling at how music for pipe organ has lasted for several hundred years. Because of their masterful compositions and performances

Le meilleur organiste de notre temps. Bravo Olivier. Nous nous sommes rencontrés furtivement à la cathédrale de Meaux en compagnie de Domenico. Le concert fut fabuleux alors que l'orgue n'était pas au top...Un grand bravo. You'r the best.

[@desalpagesgator4988]

L'interprétation est très proche de celle d'un orchestre symphonique, c'est ce qui est remarquable, il sait utiliser parfaitement toutes les ressources de l'instrument. J'ai entendu de nombreuses oeuvres symphoniques jouées à l'orgue, à un moment c'est plus du bruit qu'une réelle interprétation.

[@linnaeusshecut3959]

There is a marvelous Blu-ray video of Olivier Latry playing this piece on the restored organ of St. John the Divine in New York City. (Pro Organo BD 7250) I liked the idea of the chamber being lit so you could see when the swell shades were opening and closing. What would really be neat would be to attach LEDs of different hues to the pipes that would turn on when the pipe spoke. Can you imagine the light show!

C'est pas mal du tout. :-) The King is playing. On a très peu d'orgues accessibles à l'audition publique hors églises en France, 2 celui là compris, je crois.

[@cosinustangente1014]

Faut admettre que la plupart des orgues se prêtent merveilleusement à l'acoustique d'une église (en même temps... ils ont été construits pour ça). Et en France les églises sont gratuites d'accès pour l'instant, alors enjoy :D (certes ça ne présente pas le confort d'une salle de concert m'enfin, pour un bon orgue baroque allemand ou français, ou un cavaillé coll peut importe, ça s'y prête plus que bien, que ce soit au niveau des températures ou de l'acoustique).

[@generalackbar245]

@@cosinustangente1014 Les orgues ne sont pas construits _pour_ les églises, il sont construits *DEDANS* Le bâtiment fait partie intégrante du son et de l'esthétique de l'instrument, autant que la caisse de la guitare est essentielle au son de la guitare elle-même. _L'orgue de notre Dame de Paris ne sonne bien qu'à Notre Dame de Paris._ Démontez-le pièce par pièce, amenez-le dans un hangar à avions de Roissy, où il sera remonté pièce par pièce, au milliardième de millimètre.... vous obtiendrez une catastrophe, parce que l'orgue de Notre-Dame de Paris a été conçu en fonction des plans de cette cathédrale, et harmonisé de la même façon : il ne sonne bien qu'à Notre Dame de Paris. Et je dirais même plus: l'orgue de notre Dame de Paris ne sonne bien qu'à Notre Dame de Paris _et là où il est placé._ Démontez-le pièce par pièce, et reconstruisez-le au milliardième de millimètre sur le côté de la nef ou dans le chœur: il ne sonnera pas... parce qu'il a été dessiné et agencé pour sonner là-haut, sur la tribune du fond, là où les voûtes canalisent et réverbèrent les harmoniques jusque dans la nef.
