DUPRÉ Suite Bretonne at Washington Cathedral FILSELL

Cathedral Artist-in-Residence Jeremy Filsell at a 3/18/2018 post-Evensong recital.
Marcel Dupré's Suite Bretonne, premiered in New York in 1923, consists of 3 movements -- recollections of places he visited in Brittany:
0:16 Berceuse (a lullaby)
4:43 Fileuse (a woman at her spinning wheel)
8:32 Les Cloches de Perros-Guirec (the bells of l'Église St. Jacques, in a little coastal town on the Normandy coast -- about halfway between Brest & St. Malo)

Why does the Fileuse always remind me of Maurice Durufle's Scherzo Op.2??

[@joespeciale5875]

So “typically,” another virtuoso performance of a very, very difficult set of Dupre pieces by Mr. Filsell, on the glorious Cathedral Aeolian-Skinner.

Nice, especially the bells in the third piece! Never heard it played like that before.

According to a brief description of the Suite that I found online, Dupré was intrigued by the chimes that he found on many American organs. Given that this premiered in New York, I suspect he wanted to take advantage of the stop (or -- better word -- "device")
