Poulenc: Organ Concerto in G minor, op. 36 - Daniel Oyarzabal

[@sciagurrato1831]

The magnificent space of the Catedral de Léon is a suitably sublime space within which this wonderful music resonates.

[@ab30830]

Toda a vez que ouço esse concerto, me volta a sensação da primeira vez que escutei e me emocionando sempre.

A devastating piece of art

[@svicente99]

La obra y la performance todas muy lindas!!! Felicitaciones!!!

Un des plus grands chefs-d'œuvre de la musique du 20ème siècle, et ce n'est pas le seul que l'on doit à Poulenc, interprété magistralement. Merci pour le partage.

[@bronxboy47]

This is a work of pure genius. The performance is chilling and breathtaking by turns.

A truly great organ concerto -- magnificent in conception, and magnificent in execution.

Theatre organ sound. Perfect.

[@JakePurches-Base2music]

Wonderful - the organ sounds just right.

[@dr.maryllishughes1214]

Magnificent - a monumental achievement of pure brilliance by the composer Poulenc & the tremendous performance by Daniel Oyarzabel to bring this to life with skill & the power of his execution! BRAVO! !

[@dr.kenmahood4917]

Many years ago I had the privilege of performing this work on a 3 manual Austin organ in New York. A applaud this performer's registration which was as Poulenc suggested. Also appreciated the 32' pedal which the work requires. Poulenc was one of the French composers of the period who remained faithful to tonality whereas others like Ravel and Debussy followed impressionism more closely.

[@Iceland874]

Beautiful! Magnificent! I love Poulenc. Thank you for sharing this glorious performance.

[@Engineer9736]

Beautiful concert

[@cellogirl11rw55]

My orchestra just performed this magnificent work, and I'm definitely looking forward to performing it again tomorrow. That organ sends chills down my spine. . . 😱

Mine too.

A true delight that this magnificent work, so brilliantly interpreted! Thank you for sharing this high artistic and musical quality. Cordially .

Is this one of the best recordings I have ever heard of this work? for me it was amazing!

[@fiat300pct]

Awesome! I love this entire performance! Pity one can't find orchestra back tracks for pipe organ... It brings the pipe organ to life and this concert redefine the pipe organ.... Thinking out of the box! Just awesome!

[@organchoirman9698]

I performed this with a double string quartet and timp..I wish I had this orchestra...and this organ. I played a wonderful 37 rank Aeolian Skinner but I would have loved more colors which you were able to add! Superb performance!

[@carlconnor5173]

I've never been much on organ music. But when I heard this decades ago I loved it. Poulenc first got my attention with his double Piano Concerto. He was quite the outsider, innovator. Worth listening to, if just for something different. The interrupting political ad is offensive.

[@rogerphillips2063]

Wow!: I heard live but not in a church. very good organ concerto

[@Luca-gj9xn]

You are very good and Poulenc is really brilliant. My choir sang "Les Tisserands" in quarantine style. Write this down in the research. You will love it for sure: Corale Novarmonia - Les Tisserands (F. Poulenc)

Profanity not a good idea plus this is in a church. Have you no decency?

[@Mezzotenor]

The faster sections originally struck me as a tad poky, but I've since learned that the Leon Cathedral is HUGE, so the soloist was probably respecting the room's acoustics.

[@dennisfinnell2460]

I always enjoy some of the inane comments that are posted such as " a little pompous", "too animated". I take it that the people that are making these comments are not musicians or artists of any type. It takes great skill to play the organ this way, or any musical instrument, and most artists/musicians put their emotion into the piece they are playing and usually it shows in the movements of their bodies. If they didn't, I do believe the music would sound flat.

[@thekathal]

It’s difficult to play the organ in general, but with an orchestra it’s even more difficult!

[@tonylogan4092]

Fantastic! .....lol....! Gosh!

[@JSC1401]

Well played. But who are the orchestra and its director? What was the rest of the programme?

[@DanielOyarzabal]

Thank you Orquesta de Castilla y León, orchestra Carlos Domínguez-Nieto, conductor In the second part we played Symphony No.2 by Saint-Saëns

[@briandsteel6711]

Lovely Performance - brilliant playing all round. SHAME about the advertisements, but I guess you have to pay your way!

[@nikolaospeterson2495]

Sustaining temporary vision problems I am writing here in addition that Francois Poulenc,and this Organ Concerto is my favourite organ work of all time! Beautifuly performed. but BOO to KZbin and their capitalist advert interruptopns!

[@robertgift]

The advertisements allow us to enjoy these videos which I would likely never view and hear. As an organist, I have been able to hearecordings from all over the world.

[@tonylogan4092]

Robert, really? Why on earth would anybody defend advertising that trashes us with litter nonstop? Trillions of dollars of it worldwide each and ever year.... What a waste of human endeavor! It’s social plastic garbage.

[@robertgift]

@@tonylogan4092 Yes, but it allows us to enjoy these wonderful recordings. The television and radio programs we have enjoyed over the years would never have happened if not for advertisers paying the bills.

[@gusfelice]

You have to buy a Premium Membership to get that to stop. Trust me. It's worth it.

[@OrganChelyabinsk]

Nice performance. Very good sound, but very narrow dynamical diapason, as I hear. It is live record, may be to turn off the dinamic processing (or to do it in lesser scale)? Sound will be more rude, but more expressive.

[@DanielOyarzabal]

You're totally right. It was the recording that they gave me...

[@HSkywalker]

Super Film🎹 Music for a Horror-Blockbuster 👌 👀

[@remixuereb]

L'orgue de la belle cathédrale de Léon a un très beau son .. Mais la réverbération assez forte surtout durant la première moitié du concert , elle s'estompe , cela noie le son et la grande rapidité d'exécution de l'organiste à certains moments (et des cordes obligées de suivre une course) ne font qu'amplifier le problème il me semble , peut être me trompe rais je ?

Once again those rude photographers taking pictures with their noisy cams SCHLACK-SCHLACK...SCHLACK-SCHLACK. Definitely unacceptable! They should be allowed to access the concert hall ONLY if their cam(s) have a silent operation mode. Otherwise: out!

[@Engineer9736]

Photographers should turn their clicking noises off or buy a mirror-less camera.... Beginning sounds like a press conference

[@thomasramdasvoegeli]

Höhepunkt der Langeweile, am Kulminationspunkt des Werkes. Einfach darüber hinweggesaut. Null Spannung. Fällt mir grad schwer, mich nicht ein bisschen aufzuregen. Wie kann man nur. Meine Güte, mit Dynamik (Vor- und Nachgeben des Tempos in kleinen Bögen) kann dieser Orgasmus so spannend gestaltet werden, als wie es ein Orgasmus nur sein kann. Aber einfach schnell schnell darüberhinweggeschwafelt...sind es nur hingeworfenen Töne.

[@krzysztofatwinski6607]

Buuu

[@thethikboy]

I love how this parody of a Bach toccata breaks out into a totally French sounding cabaret dance.

[@charlesdavis7087]

This whole work is an act of rebellion against the Nazis. That means a great rebellion against the great mordent of Bach A-G-A... in relationship to the Toccata and Fugue in D minor. Francis defied the structures of the German authorities both musical and governmental. This whole work is an act of rebellion. Listen. He threw Pigall at them. He makes it soft when they said make it loud. He slowed it down when they said make it faster. He not only broke the rules, he shit on them. This was done on purpose. This work will stand on it own not only as a supreme work of genius but as a work of great beauty. Fuck... the great mordent. Freedom lives!!! Breathe it in. Freedom comes with a price, a great price. Some have paid this price more than others. The comfort of little things, the smell of fresh bake bread, the ability to wonder, etc., etc. Joy is a wonder. Listen and learn. CVD

[@fstover5208]

I have the score and have conducted it several times. One of Poulenc's finest, in his usual style, though more appreciated in the U.S. than in Europe. "German authorities" didn't hold sway in French culture in the years (1934-38) Poulenc produced this, a time that coincided with a reappraisal of his Catholic faith. Very fine rendition.

[@charlesdavis7087]

One might change the word " Nazi" to German Authoritarianism. Bach laid down a lot of rules. The French consider it their duty to break them. Viva la Satie.

[@robertshawiii4117]

Mr. Stover: This is a great work and Poulenc did a fantastic job of balancing the organ with the orchestra. The organ partsd are delicate leading you through the transitions. More interesting it the tympani that he used for punctuation. I have a recording from the 1960 period. The subtitle is Jeiu de cartes 9 Game of cards) is this something someone made up or was this originally from Poulenc himself?

[@fstover5208]

Hmm - I thought I knew the work intimately, have performed it, have the score for many years, even wrote out all the parts when I couldn't locate them. I don't think the 'Jeiu de cartes' thing is Poulenc's, but maybe a reviewers' comments(?).

[@Redneck_Wizard]

@@charlesdavis7087 First you claim this song was against the nazis than someone informs you that's false so then you just replace the word "nazi" with Bach??? Heil Bach! lol

[@thomasramdasvoegeli]

Klanglich alles ganz prima. Das Orchester hat die Musik verstanden, toll. Die Orgel. Naja. Wie wäre es, Agogik einzubringen? In meinem Ohr (ich habe das Werk auch gespielt) eine langweweilende Orgel.

[@andrewleemus2425]

what the hell is with those photographers? There’s a reason they should come in for the dress rehearsal and not the performance. The flash and clicks is absolutely appalling for a concert setting.

[@bcstechnologylimited896]

I've given this video a down-vote because of commercial interruptions.

? Huh

[@olivierbrault2037]

Rien à dire sur l'interprétation; en revanche, les couleurs complètement impersonnelles de cet orgue gâchent un peu le tableau.

[@laurentcruveillier1371]

Enfin! Je partage tout à fait votre avis (sauf que je trouve que l'orgue est souvent en avance). Et le choix des jeux n'aide pas non plus.

[@youngyoonchoi7776]

[@organbuilder272]

That organist was a little pompous The organ sounds pretty good. Remember folks - the sound of the organ and orchestra depends on the final mix of the master tapes.

[@charlesdavis7087]

Remember this Robert; Fuck you and the horse you road in on. This work of great genius doesn't depend on you, you approval or how well it may have been recorded, etc. It will stand among the great works of all time as a work of pure rebellion, defiance, and creeps like you... for all time!!!! Up yours.

[@robertshawiii4117]

Well, This is the first time I have had an offer for sex as a result of making compliments. Did you forget how many amazing performances of inspirational mucis have been utterly destroyed in recording by poor placement of microphones or bad mixing when the masters were made? No. Ah, yes your were likely in the stable with my white horse.Why don't you be a little more respectful of other people's right to comment. Certainly yours has little to do with the subject matter. It does, however, reveal your sexual preferences.

[@bryangl1]

Robert. You are right, crude vulgarity has no place in comments. But, these days, it's not very common for the engineers to stuff up the audio - particularly if recording in a regular, well-known venue. It's sub-professional to expect less and you expect good engineering just as you expect the organ to be properly tuned etc etc.
