César Franck: Choral No. 2 in b minor played by Thierry Escaich at Catholic Church in Brooklyn

[@GamingRevenant]

I love how - aside from the fact that the interpretation and the performance are done on a fabulous level - he plays the piece from memory, something which is uncommon amongst organists, let alone for the chorales from Franck.

A tip: watch movies on kaldrostream. Been using them for watching loads of movies during the lockdown.

Thank you. Thierry Escaich was amazing to have at the parish, what a tremendous little organ www.olrbrooklyn.org/organ-recitals-in-new-york-city/

Pour son interprétation du < Choral N° 2 en Si bémol mineur > de César FRANCK 1822-1890, Thierry ESCAICH adopte ici une magnifique registration rendant le discours musical on ne peut plus clair ! Le Tempo aussi est idéal ! Un jeu tout en nuances, dans le plein respect de l'âme romantique de l'illustre Organiste de Sainte Clothilde !

Thank you

Great performance! Only downside is that the camera angle switched to the feet at 1:33, right at the spot I needed to see the hands because I wanted to see how he fingered that section. Argh! Otherwise, great.

Chissà cosa pensa di questo corale Thierry come organista-compositore e giudice al concorso Chartres?

[@bob94109]

Especially like the Vox Humana

Quimby Pipe Organs and A.R. Schopp's Sons did a unbelievable restoration. This is what that organ sounded like. soundcloud.com/pipe_organ/sets/before-and-after-recording-of-pipe-organ-restoration

Su organo meccanico francese è più drammatico, il suono qui pare miele e mollica.(buona questa definizione molto calzante).Si sente che manca il suono graffiante delle ance francesi tipiche della musica di F. Couperin Le Grande.Le sue 2 messe emanano una sacralità così efficace che nessun Papa saprà mai trasmettere.

Personalmente l'ho iniziato a considerare dopo aver ascoltato l'irruente esecuzione di Lydia l'organista polacca.
