MichaelDavidson Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 There is an overwhelming case for the construction of a free and instantaneous teleporter to St Sulpice on Sundays . Indeed! Where else would you find something like this?

sprondel Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 v=njV3Po8MlBo&feature=related"]http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=njV3Po8MlBo&...feature=related[/url] Not the sound Bach had in mind, I am sure, but who cares? The performance of the Fantasia is as near perfection in terms of tempo and expression as I have yet heard. One Johann Friedrich Agricola, a student of Bach and one of the authors of his master's Necrologue, in 1757 reports the following from a visit at the Trost organ, Altenburg: "In a certain organ, I heard the lieblich Gedackt, the Vugara, the Quintadena and the Hohlflöte, all of 8 feet, together without any other voice, which was of a beautiful and strange effect." Agricola here lists the entire Oberwerk 8-foot foundations of the Trost organ, except the Geigenprinzipal. Of course, this doesn't prove anything. Except that colouristic listening and colourful registration wasn't unheard of back around 1750. Best, Friedrich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vox Humana Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 ...colouristic listening and colourful registration wasn't unheard of back around 1750. Just so - and indeed I have pointed this out several times in the past, as has Pierre. It would be very interesting to know whether Bach subscribed to this fashion. I like to think he did, but who knows? But even if he did, mixing the 8' stops on a Trost and mixing the fonds on a Cavaillé-Coll and are two very different sounds and that was really what I meant when I stated that it wasn't the sound Bach had in mind. Nevertheless it works musically on that organ and that is the main thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveHarries Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 A couple more from me: Firstly, as has been posted elsewhere on this messageboard, the Demessieux "Te Deum" forms part of this year's Proms. For anyone who has never heard the piece, here is a sound recording (from Cologne Cathedral, 1980, played by Josef Zimmermann) and some pictures of the cathedral as well: Next up, probably the oldest footage on YouTube? This video contains a short clip of Louis Vierne playing the organ of Notre Dame, Paris where he was organist for 37 years. The clip was made in 1934 as part of a newsreel in French: Pity about the sound quality on that 1934 clip but probably the best that was available back then.

Classic car man Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=7mDxKSrNdxw this is the 'new' organ in the 'new' auditorium in Santa Cruz, Tenerife. It has a write up in the current ISO magazine. I had a tour round it recently and it is absolutely stunning. Seeing the En-chamades emerge through the wall is a bit surreal, but quite something! for more info see http://www.orguesblancafort.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Allison Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 I see it another way, at least he had the guts to have it put on U Tube knowing it would come in for a lot of flak, and WHAT IF Vierne or Widor was around today, they would probably applaud the poor man And the American public probably like that sort of thing, and it would probably would get plenty of air time on Classic FM regards Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
