The exposition and development of her improvisation especially on this organ in France, is devastatingly beautiful, an exquisite delirium. This theme, so deeply haunting, conveys nothing less than the soul and timeless identity of France. She should be awarded the Legion of Honor.

I cannot but imagine how proud and happy Aristide Cavaillé-Coll would be if he could be present in 2018 to see, hear and KNOW first-hand how highly respected, beloved , well-cared-for and well-played the great majority of his instruments are, one-hundred nineteen years after he departed this Earth in 1899!
@pierrefurnon4124 жыл бұрын
Hum, most of his instuments are barely working due to the lack of funding. Only the bigger one are well maintained. Plus the one that have been modified later (are they still called ACC ?). But yeah, he won't be forgotten, that's for sure.

In England we still have C-C's little gem at Farnborough Abbey. 2+P and a mere fourteen stops, but it sounds rather bigger than that. Glorious instrument!

I don't quite know what to say. I've heard Cochereau, recordings of Dupre's improvisations, Roth himself, Bardon on baroque themes, Latry, Lefebvre, and Hakim but this is quite possibly the finest improvisation I've heard. Unbelievable stuff. Thanks Matteo for giving us the privilege of hearing this. And thanks to Sophie-Veronique too :-D

Its easy to forget Caville-Coll and how he was an incredible tonal genius . the sound his organs created, the sound he made, how he voiced his instruments, the tonal palet of each stop and how it blended in with the next and not just the next but the whole organ. he was a genius!
@raphaelmeyer99408 жыл бұрын
+Si Smith you're absolutely right, these organs are as exceptional with solist stops (flûtes, cornet, voix humaines etc.) than they are with very powerful, but still very precise, tuttis. It is also important to hear how the CCs are perfectly adapted with the different spaces they were built for.

Since Notre-Dame's fire, the organist situation seems strange at Sulpice these days. Roth's recently retired, Sophie is now Titulaire, but alongside Mossakowski. Plus Louis Jullien in charge of the Choir Organ. But then we also have Latry and Castagnet from 'over the river'. It was strange to see Roth go, as normally S Sulpice's titulaires stay put 'til they drop...

Mme. Choplin is a living master and the St. Sulpice organ is both a Masterpiece and Aristide's Magnum Opus - beauty that truly inspires and melts the heart. It has been written that the Cavaille-Coll instruments, inspired the great composers, (Franck, Guilmant, Gigout, Tournemire, Widor, Vierne, Dupre, Alain, Durulfe and Messiaen) to create, and that the French Organ School otherwise might not have been. And here is that miracle, present, once again, and before us to witness and behold today. My awareness is that improvisation on this inspired level is just that, the power of the Divine outpouring inspiration and grace through the improviser, as a vessel, to birth a gift to mankind of sacred and exquisite beauty. Soli Deo Gloria.
