Jean Langlais - Notre Dieu est une puissante forteresse (Livre Oecuménique, Op. 157)

Roberto Bertero at the Great Rieger organ of Hong Kong’s Cultural Centre Concert Hall (China).
In this video I am playing a work by the famous French organist and composer Jean Langlais, specifically “Notre Dieu est une puissante forteresse” extracted from his Livre Oecuménique, Op. 157.
Langlais is a figure who needs no introduction, such is his consolidated fame throughout the musical world. Undoubtedly is paramount to mention that he has been titular organist at the Parisian Basilica of Sainte-Clotilde, after eminent figures such as César Franck and Charles Tournemire. This was a position he held regularly for 43 years, from 1945 to 1988.
I did not record this video at the Consolata Sanctuary, but at the wonderful Rieger Organ located in the Concert Hall of the Hong Kong Cultural Centre, in the occasion of a concert of mine in that stunning venue. This prestigious instrument was built in 1989, it counts 93 stops and 8,000 pipes.
Live audio recording made and provided to me by the kind audio technicians of the Hong Kong Cultural Centre.
