[@altamira1981]

Beautiful piece and fantastic interpretation. Thank you!

[@robertscott4759]

An absolutely spine-chilling version and performance of the Te Deum. Bravo!!

[@phyzygy]

OP provides a great example of how memorizing a work (even this difficult) gives one freedom to give the best performance possible. I wish I could take my own advice.

[@brinkbush9312]

Excellent!!!

[@richardnott57]

A-MAZ-ING! The most amazing playing and video production. Thank you Olivier and Vincent. I will add this to my 'Organs of Paris' playlist!

[@bobbyhendley3084]

Thank you! That was beautiful and I needed that today. Blessings on you.

[@justmusic822]

An exiting performance... and the organ sounds majestic!

Superbe!

[@jcourtois9666]

Exceptionnelle interprétation. Tout respire. L'esprit de l'improvisation est bien là, les foucades et les points d'interrogations, l'impression que la composition se construit dans l'instant même... L'orgue sonne superbement et la vidéo est de grande classe.

[@jean-marie18]

Une interprêtation magistrale !

[@a55b47]

Bravissimo!

[@NorbertdrLazar]

C'est une interpretation sensationnelle! Félicitations Olivier! Je pense qu'il est actuellement le meilleur organiste de Paris.

[@jeansebastien2821]

Le meilleur? C'est une question délicate. De Paris certainement, si l'on accorde le titre national à Baptiste-Florian Marle Ouvrard et le trophée mondial à Olivier Latry! Olivier Penin est un interprète exceptionnel, sans aucun doute. Mais être organiste, c'est aussi improviser, écrire et...enseigner, transmettre.

[@cheztimothee-musiqueartcuisine]

That is the best recording of the Tournemire/Duruflé Te Deum I've ever heard.....absolutely electrifying use of the sonorous acoustics to great affect. PS......I love your monogrammed French cuff shirts! Extremely stylish (speaking as a former Paris fashion editor who once lived around the corner from Ste Clotilde on Rue Saint Dominique). The late Karl Lagerfeld would have been greatly impressed with both your musical and fashion style.

[@zeitoun13]

Oh! Thank you so much!!!! I deeply appreciate !

[@jjpbvideo]

Magnifique interprétation ! Et beaucoup d'élégance dans le jeu. Sans oublier les manchettes de chemise siglées... Bravo !

[@raphaelmeyer9940]

Effectivement l'élégance de Me Penin n'est jamais prise en défaut !

[@arnaudmarie4866]

Et les chaussettes cardinalice!😁

[@beuvron4178]

Et les socquettes rouges du meilleur goût ! 🤨😂

[@TheJohn1567]

Bravo Heroique!

[@schonimarkus7612]

Bravissimo! Herbstgrüsse aus Zürich. Ich liebe Dein Temperament.

[@zeitoun13]

Danke schon!!!

[@Tageine]

Excellent, dramatic work! Excellent Rendition! I'm impressed with the modern, up to date console. The pedal toe stud to right of expression/crescendo pedals - perfect place to put a Stentz stepper increment (or decrement)! Well thought out design!

[@davidjackson1462]

Bravo Olivier! This is the most dramatic and spectacular performance I have ever heard of the Te Deum

[@earlwgreen]

The organ sounds wonderful as well as your playing! So much better than when I played it in 1999.

[@av-uc4vx]

The bést organvid i have éver seen!!! WOW.

[@alanbarthel1611]

Bravo!

[@nathanbuzzatto]

impressive

[@arnaudmarie4866]

Tout simplement grandiose! Olivier mériterait de succéder à Pierre Cochereau à Notre-Dame de Paris, quand elle sera finie d'être restaurée !👌👌👌

[@EElgar1857]

A magnificent piece! The delay when playing this mobile console must be hard to deal with.

[@rensswart7248]

Olivier Penin has certainly mastered a great interpretation of this masterpiece. What is interesting to consider, in my opinion, are these two aspects. The first achievement is of course Tournemire's improvisation, but Duruflé's registration cannot be underestimated. The second consideration is that Tournemire played his improvisation as a one-off piece in his unique tempo and we know several interpretations of what Duruflé has written down and they all share more or less the same tempo as a kind of a recreation of what Tournemire played. However, Penin re-interpreted it with more emphasis on musically interesting points and with more rubato. So, now we have the unique situation that Tournemire improvised a great piece of art, but that Penin interpreted it differently and convinced us that his interpretation is another piece of art. - Lot of words, do you understand what I mean?

[@peterbargmann7341]

My ears do, my mind--still waiting to catch up to my ears.

[@fs6887]

Il y du génie de Cochereau dans cet homme là

[@adriverschoor4975]

Hildebrandt the best organ video producer in the world. Penin the bést organist in the world. St Clothilde organ the most beautiful organ in the world.

[@fabianschuler2443]

Are the records availiable on Spotify? :-)

[@stthomasmore4811]

Que signifient les lettres «OP» sur les poignets de chemise de M. Penin?

[@vhhildebrandt]

L'anagramme du mot Orgue est rouge comme les chaussettes d'Olivier . . . .

[@zeitoun13]

Ouah!!!! Excellent ! Je n avais pas relevé !

[@Highinsight7]

GREAT player... for me... the "lento" stuff... is a little to fast... and NOT grand enough... JUST an opinion... he's ONE heck of a player! THUMBS up from me!
