Le summum de la musique, le summum de l'art mondial, cette Chaconne de Bach. Monstrueux. Il n'y a pas d'équivalent dans aucune discipline, qu'une personne surclasse à ce point tous ses collègues, et tout l'art alentour de tous temps, de façon transcendante. C'est fou. Et l'interprète est hors norme, quelle clarté, quel travail, quelle âme, quel coeur, c'est faramineux. Et l'orgue n'est pas en reste. Bref, un Ange passe...

[@peregrinusabsoluti2302]

Monsieur, je vous prie de croire que j’embrasse absolument votre commentaire et votre pensée.

[@Musique617]

Il y a quand même les deux "Passions" comme summum... pour le reste de votre commentaire je partage totalement.

[@michaelnoah7453]

Absolutely agree.

[@richardduffy7926]

Olivier Penin looks like a professional football player. Then he begins to play and what sensitive and beautiful music he makes.

[@AECSRQ]

I was just thinking the same thing! He has a muscular yet delicate approach like a cross between a samurai and a surgeon. 🥰😄

[@joespeciale5875]

I have heard this organ piece by Bach before but never with such energy and elegance.

[@OldPannonian]

The sound of this organ is to die for! The performance is awesome too. Thanks from Andrew in Calgary, Canada

Brings peace to a troubled world. Thank you.

[@raphaelmeyer9940]

Toutes les transcriptions pour orgue ne se valent pas, mais celle-ci... Les montées prennent une profondeur que seul l'orgue peut rendre, et les subtilités sont exceptionnellement rendue par cet instrument et par une registration particulièrement adaptée. Chapeau bas à Vincent Hildebrandt pour la prise de son et le montage, ainsi qu'à Olivier Penin pour cette interprétation.

[@heymennicolaij]

Chapeau monsieur Penin. Totalement par coeur. Joue tres sublime.

God has truly given you an amazing gift beyond imagination. Thank you for sharing it.

[@jcourtois9666]

Prise de son et interprétation magnifiques. Une très grande clarté caractérise l'ensemble, Ste Clotilde peut faire du très très grand Bach. Dès les deux premières minutes, avec le passage anches, puis fonds puis flûtes, le prodigieux travail de registration est là, aussi savant que naturel… et le reste sera de la même eau. L'équilibre du "tout" et des détails, la montée irrésistible sans exclure la poésie (à 7 min 30 s !), tout mérite les plus grands éloges. Il y a dans ces seize minutes beaucoup de choses, à voir, à entendre… et à apprendre.

The Master, interpreted and played by a Master !

[@jensc.jensen4358]

Bach, the true Master of the ability to express emotion and passion. I feel his life gave him challenges harder than most. However to my joy and comfort through my own trials. What a talented artist and composer. The greatest of all perhaps?

Chaconne is in my opinion the best classic ever! I am happy that the public does not know this...:-)

I first heard it played by Jonathan Scott on the organ (please listen - those trumpets! ‘God is great! ….. And so is Bach!’ My interpretation). But my favourite violin rendition is by Liza Ferschtman.

Aurons-nous un jour la chance, le privilège et le plaisir de vous entendre faire respirer le grand orgue de Roquevaire, dans le cadre du Festival d'orgue ? Un grand merci à vous Olivier et au merveilleux instrument de Sainte Clotilde.

[@julianbrelsford]

This is such an amazing piece and I love how this version takes advantage of so many capabilities of the organ with different voices and registers. It's also interesting to hear the repeat of the initial chord progression, which is made clear by the way the organ here can play the chords clearly (where in the violin they can be rather obscure since the violin can't always play a three note chord & a melody at the same time)

[@limitstoprogress]

Interesting how this melody can flow on the organ vs on a violin. A wonderful, unique performance! Thank you- from Canada

[@denischacha9062]

Depuis très jeune, cette pièce pour violon m'a toujours impressionné. Ici, elle est transcendée par votre superbe interprétation et par cet orgue magnifique !

Wow! Where to start? The microphone placement, the lighting, the litany of beautiful stops sampled, the virtuosity of performance, the camera angles, especially the drone angle from above at the end... all so wonderful, and one of Bach's most beautiful, pathos-filled works. I'm having trouble searching for the right words at this point.

Besides the mastery and the brilliance, I like very much the fluency and the rythm of this performance. Violinists tend to fermata too many notes and I often lose the Bach's rythm listening their performances. But this one is smooth like a song. At least the 1-st half.

A romantic transcription played in a very romantic style. Very decadent and Bach would probably turn in his grave, but I love it. The registration in the quieter passages shows off the solo stops very well. A fine performance on a very fine instrument.

I don't think he'd turn in his grave. He'd appreciate the fact his music has more facets than even he imagined
