Louis Vierne - Messe Solennelle

[@somebody2988]

As someone who actually sang this masterpiece with my choir regularly at my church, I can only describe the feeling of singing the kyrie as ethereal.

[@Zach2003]

I remember singing this piece with my choir, and i absolutely loved it. The dissonance in the Kyrie at 4:16 hits so hard, and I remember our choir teacher reminding us to pronounce the 'K' real hard time and time again. During a few concerts we even had to stop between Kyrie and Gloria because the audience had started clapping for us. Haha, but i can understand them, i couldn't imagine sitting still after listening to that ending of the Kyrie. As a soprano I didn't find it too difficult at that time, although we just came out of the St. Matthew Passion, so anything would have been easier.

[@gemmacoebergh8062]

I had the great honor to play this music on the majestic Willibrordus Organ in the Roman Catholic Cathedral St. Bavo in Haarlem, the Netherlands, with the Cathedral Choir conducted by rector cantus Jan Valkestijn and Bernard Bartelink playing the transept organ. I 'll never forget this!

[@kareem2331]

Seriously?!

[@danielavedikian8223]

The end of the Kyrie is so intense and breathtaking ! One of the finest musical piece ever written, in my opinion. At 5:21 something like an extatic climax. Wonderful ..........

[@asnookie12]

Go to my church, you can hear the choir and organ live, every week, with one of the choir ( bass ), my son.

[@RTGrimmer]

This certainly IS the organ at Notre Dame in Paris. Those en-chamades can't be anyone else's but Cochereau's. They were iconic of his playing style and received plenty of use by him, at an enormous wind pressure. I would know his chamades anywhere. The titulaires who followed him had the pressure adjusted on those ranks to be lower... certainly less incendiary than Cochereau's.

[@MarkHarmer]

I never knew that. What an amazing sound those Cavaille-Colls have. I love the flue pipes too - unmistakeable - but wonderful with the graunchy reeds pushing though.

[@originaltommy]

Legendary Cochereau chamades!!!! He sure knew how to use them! I think they're Boisseau circa 69

I am looking forward to learning this lovely Mass with my choir (The London Chorus) on October 10 2018 (concert venue to be announced - probably in a church in central London)

[@ThePapsforshort]

Wonderful! Such a great work by Vierne, its depth and beauty are clouded in a modern metropolis of people who's ears are open only to their own needs and closed to more ethereal and discerning thought through this powerful work ..

[@multimapping8303]

Kyrie really gives me shivers every time. This music really shows something greater than humanity. Also: somehow this is the only recording of this piece in the Notre Dame that has the microphones perfectly placed. On other recordings, it almost sounds like the microphone was place inside of the secondary organ, and there's also a recording that sounds like the microphone was placed on the console of the great organ. Truly perfect is this one, and wouldn't expect any different when it is played by the grand-maître Cochereau!

[@choirsinger123]

Just cannot stop singing this piece! Just sang it several times last month with about 130 of my German and American friends at Heiliggeistkirchet in Frankfurt and Heidelberg- Voices Unite Concerts - a masterpiece for sure! The organ part gives me chills!

[@vincentiaquinta2119]

I was raised Pentecostal. There is nothing close to the grandeur of this piece. I've been to choir specials in those churches, noting comes close to this. I particularly love this piece for 2 reasons. It starts on full organ yet ends on an organ's softest of timbres. This my go to piece in the organ repertoire. This piece gives a solace I have not heard in other music for choir and organ. God rest Vierne and Cochereau's souls.

Incidentally, the recording was far enough from the choir and organ, to really take advantage of the acoustic's. Thank you so much. Greetings from Denver Colorado USA. John Lofthouse.

[@dulcian3230]

@@MarkHarmer, I think English organs are round and warm and deserve their praise, but they are not fit for "solenelle" purposes and don't have the snarl that French organs in general have, especially the chorus reeds and full-blown chamades.

It's like fucking Led Zeppelin (the coda of "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You", "In My Time Of Doing") at times. Except they never sounded as devastating. That chromatic ascent and descent in the Kyrie, and the chromatic descent until the reprise, with syncopated synth stabs à la Prince.

[@GuillaumeDeslandres]

Le grand-orgue a une pèche et j'allais dire un "engagement" absolument incroyables (on sait qui joue ! ), la prise de son est vraiment épatante, le tout est musicalement exaltant, mais le choeur n'est pas "au-dessus de tout éloge", chantant souvent pas juste (trop bas), surtout les ténors. Je préfère néanmoins cette version à toute autre, à cause d'une énergie que je n'ai retrouvée nulle part ailleurs. Il y a eu une version historique pour la bénédiction du grand-orgue en décembre 1992, avec la Maîtrise de Notre-Dame de Paris, les Maîtrises des cathédrales St Paul et de Westminster de Londres, avec une fin de Kyrie à clouer littéralement au sol, mais il n'y a pas de trace sonore, hélas.
