Listened about twenty times, and it stil drives me to tears.....WOWOWOW......

[@TheJohn1567]

Charles Tournemire would be so proud of you!

[@adriverschoor4975]

Listened again......GOOSEPIMPLES....Wow what an incredible organist playing on the most beautiful organ in the world!

[@MicksFlics]

Penin is true genius....his playing & technique are flawless...he makes it look so easy...his effortless playing is sheer joy & pleasure to watch...a truly great artist! That being said...it is incredible to imagine this piece alone, one of many spontaneous improvisations of the brilliant Charles Tournemire, to then be amazingly transcribed from a recording by the equally brilliant Maurice Durufle! WOW!! The magnificent legacy of French organists & organs!!!

[@DavidSmith-sb2ix]

Magnificent performance. The organs of France are the finest in the world.

[@moniquehartmann3336]

Magnifique cette interprétation dans cette belle église ste Clotilde de paris que je connais les ayant toutes visites ayant de la famille à paris!

Félicitations à Olivier Penin , pour la superbe interprétation de cette belle œuvre de Charles Tournemire ! C'est fantastique et vraiment digne de son successeur ! BRAVO !

[@Mr05241948]

Sublime

[@renaldtremblay8333]

Toujours impeccable musicalement et dans l'ensemble de ses performances! Un grand organiste qui me sert de modèle... Merci M. Penin.

[@saturnin5354]

Quelle puissance, quelle inspiration !

[@theblessed6383]

Superb in every way! Magnificent musicianship & camera-work!! A profoundly inspired improvisation on the Sequence chant & texts e.g. "Christians! to the Paschal Victim offer your thankful praises." and "Death and life have contended in that conflict stupendous: the Prince of life, who died, deathless reigneth." I think the music also reflects Tournemire's highly emotional nature and volatile temperament (as described by one/many of his pupils!) Deo gratias; Christ has risen; Alleluia!

[@johnbostrom8467]

In the meantime i watched this vid for about thirty times.Each time it gave me more goosebumps. What we have here is the most musical organist and the most beautiful organ in the world. I am thirsty to hear and see much more Vincent! This church and its organ and organist is nothing more than paradise!!!

Mr. Penin, merci pour cette magnifique musique ce jour de Paques, en memoire de la vie d'un celebre musicien.

[@jcourtois9666]

Prestation magistrale. Non, Tournemire n'est pas (toujours) ennuyeux, tout est ici lisible - grâce aussi à la prise de vues qui mérite que des éloges. Le crescendo à partir de 7 ' est proprement prodigieux. Technique superlative.

[@mariebourhis6988]

Sublime. Interprétation magistrale. Ch Tournemire doit être tellement heureux d'avoir un successeur aussi talentueux. Magnifique vidéo. Immense BRAVO 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶❤️

Merci à vous, Olivier et Vincent ! Quel magnifique cadeau pour Pâques, sur l'orgue de Tournemire lui-même, ou cette impro fut faite en premier !

[@daryleharris1021]

Magnificent!! I am so grateful for your musicianship and art...and I hope that doesn't embarrass you. I thank you for sharing yourself with us. I look forward to more. The music just seems to flow through you. What an exquisite gift.

[@garymcwithey980]

Bravo, maestro!

[@av-uc4vx]

This really touches my heart! WOW.............

[@WilbertBerendsen]

I love this and the exitement this music generates! Such a culmination of inspiration: The holy Easter Gospel: surrection, victory of the paschal lamb, which ignited Tournemire to improvise! Then, luckily, it was recorded and Duruflé, yet another incredibly talented organist and composer, meticulously accurate wrote Tournemire's music down, lovingly retaining every detail in Tournemire's playing. Then, faithfully practised, and studied, this music rises again to fill the very same beatiful church and to reach so many more hearts and souls, in a new century Tournemire couldn't have dreamed of. I'm listening this at Easter 2021 :-) Thanks Oliver for this flaming and blazing performance! The organ's sound and tuning is almost too perfect: it might be a little more rough :-)

The search for this masterpiece of Tournemire has come to a final conclusion. The best version to be witnessed, the Olivier Penin recording! I am settled! 💯

[@organboi]

Oh really now. And you've heard all the hundreds of recordings of this piece?

[@pwoody1958]

Just superb!

Thank you very much !

[@edwardbevin9514]

I have been an aficionado of organ music and playing for well over 40 years and this version is head and shoulders above anything I have seen and heard of that great Frenchman Langlais. And M. Peninsula is an absolute genius.

[@organbuilder272]

Interesint piece. What has happened to our youthful Olivier??

[@organboi]

You mean that's not youthful to you? Looks pretty young and energetic to me.

Love this performance. I have attended a couple of recitals and services at St. Clotilde - truly a magnificent place. Quick question - is there any difference in the action between the console in the balcony and the one used on the floor of the nave?

[@OrgansofParis]

No there isn't

[@epmusic9711]

Does anyone know if there is a score for this?

Olivier Peninsula of course. Apologies for the mistake in typing!

[@organboi]

You can edit your original comment, you know.

[@johnsilverton639]

This maybe a stupid question but still here goes. The console that Cesar Franck played still exists. Why can it not be replaced and the organ undergo a pipe by pipe restoration to take it back as near as possible to the instrument Franck knew and loved. Make the organists go cold turkey from their electric servo systems and pestilential "gagets". Why is everyone obsessed by these bland "Euro organs"?? They all sound the same. They are now the "norm" in the UK.

[@EduardQualls]

The Franck console is in the Museum Vleeshuis, in Belgium and, per its ownership, will not be returned to Ste. Clothilde. This organ was not played solely by Franck, but by Tournemire and Langlais, so he does not have sole claim to its sound, nor should that be assumed. There have been 4 incarnations of this organ, all of which have maintained the pipes and core design of Cavaillé-Coll. See the church's website for full details: www.orgue-clotilde-paris.info/uk/le-grand-orgue/ As for your ideas on its reconstruction, please see _The Diapason_ of July 25, 2006: "Notes on the Organ in the Basilica of Sainte-Clotilde, Paris" [www.thediapason.com/notes-organ-basilica-sainte-clotilde-paris]. The degradation of its condition, committed in the early 1960's were undone, as much as possible, by restoration done in the first decade of the 2000's. BTW, the Franck console's keyspans (manual and pedal) were simply too narrow.

[@wilhakkaart5116]

I fully agree, the instrument in its present state is ruined by organbuilders, with no respect for the past. Remove all the gadgets and go back to the masterpiece Cavaille-Coll constructed here. Yes it has its limitations at that day, But hey spoiled organists nowadays with electronic gadgets and other stuff, deal with its legacy en respect its history. I hate the tendencies in organbuilding nowadays, so mister Penin, if you have the balls, undo this masterpiece of Cavaille Coll of all its upgrades and gadgets and start an campaign againts all odds to restaure this intrument to its former glory. Take an example of Daniel Roth who want to put the organ of St.Sulpice to the Unesco world heritage list. He understand the legacy of Cavaille-Coll. You are not even worthy to maintain this instrument, or even call yourself the succesor of Cesar Franck, Charles Tournemire or Jean Langlais.

[@stylusfantasticus]

BECAUSE "MODERNITY" AND SOME MONEY ALWAYS PUT SOME SHIT IN THE REALM OF SOMETHING OR SOMEBODY .... IN THIS CASE NOT ONLY CESAR FRANCK BUT ALSO ARISTIDE CAVAILLÉ-COLL. AND THE FIRST GUILTY IN THIS POINT WAS TOURNEMIRE HIMSELF BUT BECAUSE HE WAS A GENIUS WE CAN DO NOTHING....

[@stylusfantasticus]

@@wilhakkaart5116 THESE ORGANISTS ARE "SHOWMANS" .....THEY NEED TO BE IN THE LIGHTED SPOT....SPECIALLY WHEN THEY PLAY WELL......SAME IN ST. EUSTACHE AND NOTRE DAME.-
