Jean Guillou plays the well know Fugue in D major of Johann Sebastian BACH with a dazzling technic on the fabulous Van den Heuvel organ in Paris, St Eustache !

Il n’y a pas d’organiste actuel qui puisse dépasser l’art de Jean Guillou sur la registration, l’interprétation, la mise en valeur des plans sonores. C’est un coloriste musical !

Guillou's registrations and playing are, perhaps, unconventional when one thinks of the restraints placed on the instrument by academicians, but clearly he is a master both as a composer and musician. I am captivated by his trailblazing ideas for an instrument that is on the decline in American circles. In my opinion, he brings a breath of fresh air to the stuffiness of it all, in much the same way that Virgil Fox and others did. Note perfect performances tend to be very boring. Guillou = life.

Yes, I read comments below like '..this man is crazy.,..' He is extremely gifted and has the most profound insight. An absolute Master. We are blessed that we can listen to him. Thanks KZbin!!

As did J.S.Bach, Jean Guillou always have fun surprising his audience with new sonorities, new sounds during the same piece. Few organists have the creativity or go to the effort to do that. That's why his music is captivating, magic and makes the organ the most beautiful; "the king of all the instruments".

Had the honor and pleasure of meeting him last week in Dallas Fort-Worth, Texas at the University of North Texas. What a joy to hear him play and be a part of his master class audience. Still going at age 78! A memorable event!!

I really wish I could understand French, because I love this interpretation of this piece. This man is a master! Sure we can all make mistakes here and there but you really need to look beyond that and see what his interpretation was, I'm sure I don't play it the way purists want it played but forget them, it's 2012!

Ce document se place en prolongement du passionnant ouvrage sur l'orgue de Jean Guillou. J'apprécie particulièrement cette analyse autant technique qu'artistique d'une oeuvre, les deux amenant une interprétation réfléchie et donc enrichie. Merci encore, Monsieur Guillou, pour ces contributions (mais je n'arriverai jamais à jouer du pédalier comme vous ....!).

He is of the French Symphonic School of organ technique and interpretation. I enjoyed it because he adds a lot of French character to Bach. He took Bach's fugue and made it his own....how he feels it in his head. This man is a genius even if this is a less than "historic" performance.

I first heard maitre Guillou during the inaucuration concert of the Van den Heuvel organ in the concert hall of Geneva. He played mainly his own compositions, wich I liked. Bought the CD. Certainly virtuosity - look how many keys I can strike per second - but for me the monumentality, the construction, the suspense (the suspension) of the compositions of Bach is lost. Try Choplain! on KZbin.
@Caocao888815 жыл бұрын
Yes, the hesitations or delayed beats in the countersubject are a little offputing. It might be because of the way the sound is perceived by the performer in the echo chamber of this large space and/or because of the sound delay from the pipes to the keyboard. The sound of the Baroque, though, is much more of a joyful noise than we take for granted with today's more sterile approach to music.

yeah, It's like he's trying to rush through it to get it over with. So many Bach pieces sound much better when played at a slower tempo. There are a number of good examples of this piece played at slower tempos on KZbin. Still, if I could play that fast I'd be pretty damn happy with myself.

Fun piece. His timing is off in my places. Or is he affected by a delay in the organ? (That really upsets my playing since I am not used to it and I listen to myself.) Still a nice performance. Would like to hear the whole work.

Sorry, my dear Jean. One must listen to the room. As you know, each room will be different. In short, you played it too fast. The clarity was lost. Registration is important, but clarity of phrases is even more important. Your point is accurate but not well express the way you played it…. or the way it was recorded. "Why?" Maybe, you were in a hurry for lunch. After all, there are something more important than "lessons." Listen. Sent with love. CVD.

Hi Dear Bestien, as you know the notes are on the page… the music is in the ear. More often than we might think, we (as organists) don't really listen to the room. We're just trying to get all the notes and registrations and the change of pistons... in the right order. God help us. ("Please!") And bless you and all you love… upon this Easter/Isthar Tide, 2015 AD. Sent with love. CVD.
