XAVER VARNUS PLAYS DEBUSSY'S "CLAIR DE LUNE" ON THE GRAND ORGAN OF DEBRECEN PRESBYTERIAN CATHEDRAL

•●The Official Video Site of Concert Organist Xaver Varnus●•
Xaver Varnus' first piano teacher was Emma Németh, one of the last pupils of Debussy. He has played virtually every important organ in the world, including those in Bach's Thomaskirche in Leipzig (2014), Berliner Dom (2013), Notre-Dame (1981), Saint-Sulpice (2006) and Saint-Eustache (1996) in Paris, National Shrine in Washington, D.C. (1985), and Canterbury Cathedral (2004), as well as the largest existing instrument in the world, the Wanamaker Organ in Philadelphia (1985). His Quadruple Platinum Disc winning album "From Ravel to Vangelis" (SONY, 2007), is the best-selling organ CD ever. As a Canadian citizen, Xaver Varnus resides in Berlin, and in Brooklyn, Nova Scotia Peninsula, where he opened Varnus Hall in a 19th century church. "Put simply, Varnus is a monster talent, every bit as stimulating and individual as the late Glenn Gould" (The Globe & Mail, Canada's National Newspaper). "He is one of the most influential figure in organ music in the early twenty-first century." (Mark Wigmore, The New Classical FM, Canada).

My favorite song, played by the most talented Organist in the world.

I can’t imagine what it must be like to have such an amazing gift, to be touched by the hand of God, and yet he shares it with us. Truly divine.❤

The organ is the king of instruments for good reason. Coupled with a talent like Mr. Varnus it’s a treasure for any listener. Very beautifully played.

That interpretation gives this often played, but beautiful piece a complete new touch. In parts a was very surprised, in a positiv way, for example when the reed stops came in in around the middle of the piece. But the last third of the piece just left me speachless.

[@EwicoCylinder]

There was only one little reed stop he used, and i think it was the "Vox Humana". It really mached perfect this extremly emotional and lovely piece.

[@jankla4419]

@@EwicoCylinder And after the part with the vox humana there was a secound reed in the pedal I gues

[@EwicoCylinder]

@@jankla4419 It could be possible he coupled the manual from the vox humana down to the pedal or it was a string stop for example a "cello" the string stops sometimes can also sound like a reed stop.

👏Kedves Xavér! Köszönjük a csodálatos koncertet. Nagy élmény volt, mint mindig. Az improvizáció pedig ... nincsenek rá szavak, olyan lenyűgöző volt. Jó lenne a teljes koncertet ismét átélni, valamilyen formában. További sok szép zenét, és jó egészséget kívánok!

Not many empty seats. A few on the balcony. But on the main floor, it appears there was Standing Room Only. If I had been any near, I would have attended.
