Hugues Huddlestone, a fellow (but awfully quiet) Magle forum participant plays Cantilène, one of Tournemire's five improvisations: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jPE38K11WU.

Very well done, Hugues!

Here's a nice reading of my fav Tournemire work:

Ah, yes: the Sept Chorals-Poèmes d'orgue pour les Sept Paroles du Christ. Indeed one of Tournemire's masterworks (though I personally would have an even softer spot for the Sei Fioretti).

[Corno Dolce]

Honorable acc,

Yes, I too love the Sei Fioretti. Of course, the Aeolian organ used at Duke University Chapel has some ponderous colours in its ensembles. I prefer Georges Delvallee's recording at St. Sulpice of the Sept Chorales-Poemes.

Cheers,

Hi, dear ACC
Thank you very much for taking an interest in my performance of the "cantilène improvisée" by Charles Tournemire; Jeanne Joulain was sitting near me on the organ bench doing the registration and page turning, it is with a heavy heart that I am writing you these lines since you may know that Jeanne died one week ago, and that Jean Guillou played that very organ at her funeral last friday. She certainly was more than a teacher for me and I shall miss her terribly.
