Very cool music in a world of trite music.

La musique parfaite pour aller inflitrer l'Elysée à 4h du mat ...

¡Salud, oh Constructores, oh Formadores! Vosotros véis. Vosotros escucháis. ¡Vosotros! No nos abandonéis, no nos dejéis, ¡oh dioses!, en el cielo, sobre la tierra, Espíritu del Cielo, Espíritu de la Tierra. Dadnos nuestra descendencia, nuestra posteridad, mientras haya días, mientras haya albas. Que la germinación se haga Que el alba se haga. Que numerosos sean los verdes caminos, las verdes sendas que vosotros nos dais. Que tranquilas, muy tranquilas, estén las tribus. Que perfectas, muy perfectas, sean las tribus. ¡Que perfecta sea la vida, la existencia que nos dais. ¡Oh Maestro Gigante, Huella del Relámpago, Esplendor del Relámpago! Huella del Muy Sabio, Esplendor del Muy Sabio, Gavilán, Maestros-Magos, Dominadores, Poderosos del Cielo, Procreadores, Engendradores, Antiguo Secreto, Antigua Ocultadora, Abuela del Día, Abuela del Alba… ¡Que la germinación se haga! ¡Que el alba se haga! ¡Que numerosos sean los verdes caminos, las verdes sendas que vosotros nos dais! ¡Que tranquilas, muy tranquilas, estén las tribus! ¡Que perfectas, muy perfectas, sean las tribus! ¡Que perfecta sea la vida, la existencia que nos dais!

Frank Zappa's papá...

[@JohnStarosta]

I agree, very nice rendition but would prefer solo bass. Ultimately a nice performance. Cheers

[@nasrosubari49]

@matthew bowie: Electronic organs already existed, especially since the Ondes revision is from 1961. If Varese had wanted one, he would have called for one. The point of the pipe organ is the contrast between the acoustic instrument and the electronic Ondes. So, using an electronic organ does NOT fulfill the "intent of the score".

[@muslit]

agreed

[@yurimccoy7094]

Agreed, and it's totally lame. I'm surprised a renowned and universally respected ensemble such as this would think this was an ok substitution. There is no shortage of suitable organs in France!

[@charlexguitar]

Gracias...

[@MagdalenaBetanzos-os9tk]

Es una gran pieza de la escuela francesa contemporanea

[@robertgross2519]

A Hit by Varese

[@Phlabberghost]

A real concert organ *can* be better than an electronic, but you assume that the aesthetic intent here is demeaned by "imitation," rather than enhanced by the clearly synthetic impetus of the piece. I would argue that the electronic organ is not an imitation of anything; it fulfills the intent of the score.

[@yurimccoy7094]

Intent aside, a real pipe organ sounds way better. This was of course done for practical purposes as there's no organ in the hall. But, I say move the concert to a space with an organ, it makes a huge difference. Yes, I'm an organist.

[@MIDIPipe]

This is what I called Music.

anyone have the text translation in English?

[@breakfall]

Merci

[@klangschatten5610]

Terrific, tremendous music and performance.

[@emillubov1620]

I miss the days as a teenager where i could naively enjoy Lovecraft. I love everything here, from the mumbo jumbo mystical lyrics that recall Sun Ra to the splendid and boundless orchestration with such beautiful sounds. Une merveille !

[@Baribrotzer]

It really does sound like something from Lovecraft, doesn't it?

[@darylcumming7119]

[@PierreSIBANARCO]

Fantastic creation ! Big LIKE !! Pierrot

[@sadredinesmaily8283]

حاجی برگام، ادگار وارز به معنای واقعی کلمه پیشرو بوده.Edgard Varese was The real avant-garde.

[@luismilladeleon2096]

MAGNIFICA INTREPRETACION .

[@Baxxbier]

What kind of keyboard is it they use for these portamento effects?

[@mannibimmel09]

maybe its a trautonium.

[@TimmyTurnerize]

It's an Ondes Martenot

[@briancornish2076]

[@galas062]

danke!!!! :)

[@nasrosubari49]

A good rendition, but a real concert organ is always better than an electronic imitation, and I prefer the bass solo version (more precise articulation). Interesting to see an Ondéa (digital recreation of the Ondes) alongside an original Ondes Martenot...

[@danashane]

Jeezus, what a fucking mess
