Marie-Claire Alain - Organ lesson - part one

[@FrancoisJANVIER-ut4nw]

Mac était une grande dame de l’orgue connue dans le monde entier. J’espère qu’elle peut aujourd’hui enchanter le Ciel, Dieu les anges et tous les saints, Bach et tous les grands maîtres de l’histoire de la Musique par son jeu subtil et grandiose !

I had the chance to listen to MCA in 1998 in Lyon. She played Les 3 danses of her brother. Unforgettable. RIP.

I will never forget Marie-Claire Alain. When I was young, I attended one of her workshops in Pittsburgh and that's where I met her!

[@bethlehemeduchrist3810]

One of the great organ teachers of the last generation!

[@baritonebynight]

I saw her play a recital in 2005. She had to be helped to the organ bench, but 50 years came off her age when she started to play.

[@shaheenmalick5999]

She seems like such a joyful and amazing person!

pro tip: you can watch series on flixzone. I've been using it for watching loads of movies lately.

[@marcokashton8279]

@Jared Aron Definitely, have been using flixzone for since november myself :)

[@sageconrad8665]

@Jared Aron definitely, have been using Flixzone for months myself =)

I came across this completely by accident - one of the most wonderful videos I have watched on KZbin - just to get some insights into how such a renowned organist interpreted her brothers work is truly humbling - thank you so much for posting...

[@JoshuaSobel]

I don't understand a word of French, but I loved this very much.

[@WoodymC]

Stumbled upon this by accident right now --- and I completely agree!

[@rotunda57]

Sí señor! 😊

Pensée particulière alors que Michel Chapuis nous a quitté il y a un mois. Ces deux-là, c'était des grands. Des TRÈS grands.

Merveilleuse Marie-Claire expliquant les subtilités pour jouer une pièce de son illustre frère. Que peut-on souhaiter de mieux ?

[@afrofinka]

Magic !

[@Bestiavinco48]

Wow. Thank you for posting! Hopefully one day we could have an English translation. :)

[@willoooooooob9]

Actually, she was speaking English while teaching the student.......I'm pretty sure it was English as I understood her.

[@estherloayza9385]

Estas no céu , linda , querida!!lembrada sempre!!

[@dankthompson]

In the first few minutes she plays on a smaller organ in this beautiful church, can someone tell me what kind of organ this is? Is there any on-line info of this organ?

[@italianorgan3868]

It's the choir organ, also by Cavaillé-Coll. According to MCA one of the rare smal organs bij CC with a Barker lever. You can see the instrument from upstairs (just) behind the altar. The stoplist must be like this: G.O: Bourdon 16, Montre 8, Flûte harmonique 8, Prestant 4. Réc: Cor de nuit 8, Viole de gambe 8, Voix céleste 8, Flûte octaviante 4, Trompette 8, Basson-Hautbois 8. The Pedal would normally have Soubasse 16, Basse 8, Trompette 8 (all three transmissons G.O. and Réc.) If the organ is bigger, there would be Doublette 2 and Fourniture on the G.O. and Basson 16 (also with transmission on the Pedal) and Clairon 4 on the Réc, but I didn't hear those stops in the video.
