Footage of Marcel Dupré playing at St-Sulpice!

[acc]

Here is a video of Marcel Dupré playing his In dulci jubilo in St-Sulpice.

(Not quite as immobile at the console as the teachings of the Lemmens/Widor/Guilmant school would have made us believe.)

iam frustrated. i can't watch any youtube video, nor any other of any sort at my working place... and i realized that i never entered saint-sulpice... i sat down playing guitar all around the place, i stood watching tourists searching for the reight bus, i went to Luxembourg park but i never been inside this church. sometimes i heard organists practice, or rehearse before concert nights.

Aloha acc,

Cheerio,

Seconded! What am marvellous sight - even the sound is acceptable (especially for 1955!)

If acc had embedded the YouTube movie into his/her/its post ... you might have been able to view it? Not sure.

Strange, I clicked on the video still and the video started.

Sweet Corn - I'll start calling you KoKo soon...

[Corno Dolce]

KoKo the Clown? Well then, that would be an honor coming from you

Hello Sunwaiter

it is sometime very difficult to watxh a video with Internet Explorer or derived browser. But try with Firefox. It runs veryy well.

[Flute'n'Pedal]

Sunwaiter, you mustn't think you've totally wasted your time. Playing the guitar and listening to organists practise isn't all that bad. Now's your chance to listen to some real music. If you can't watch the YouTube videos, maybe you can listen to the recordings that are presented in this forum. For example, see the thread "Organ Symphony."

Hi sunwaiter,

Let's try the video imbedded in a post here:

+ YouTube Video

Does this come through for you at work, now?

[acc]

Two more Dupré videos have now appeared on Youtube:

An improvised double fugue over “Regina Cœli”:

+ YouTube Video

An improvised symphonic poem over the painting “Jacob wrestling with the Angel” by Eugène Delacroix:

+ YouTube Video

It is also clear now where these videos come from, namely a DVD that has just been published by the Association des Amis de l'Art de Marcel Dupré (though there appears nothing yet on their Web site).

Aloha acc,

Thank you, thank you, a trillion times thank you for posting those vids and sharing that link. Man, you are great!

It is a joy to see the great master himself playing the Czarina of all organs.

Again, trillions of thanx to you.

Cheerio,

Thank you, thank you, a trillion times thank you for posting those vids and sharing that link.

You're welcome! But just for the record: I'm not the one who put those videos onto Youtube, so I guess 99.9999999999% of those thanks should really go to “koppelfloete”.

[Corno Dolce]

Aloha acc,

I did catch that you were not the originator of the YouTube vids. But I thank you again for so kindly sharing them.

Respectfully yours,

CD
