• Welcome to the Pipe Organ Forum! This is a part of the open community Magle International Music Forums focused on pipe organs (also known as "church organs"), organists, organ music and related topics.

    This forum is intended to be a friendly place where technically advanced organists and beginners (or even non-organists) can feel comfortable having discussions and asking questions. We learn by reading and asking questions, and it is hoped that the beginners (or non-organists) will feel free to ask even the simplest questions, and that the more advanced organists will patiently answer these questions. On the other hand, we encourage complex, technical discussions of technique, music, organ-building, etc. The opinions and observations of a diverse group of people from around the world should prove to be interesting and stimulating to all of us.

    As pipe organ discussions can sometimes become lively, it should be pointed out that this is an open forum. Statements made here are the opinion of the poster, and not necessarily that of the forum itself, its administrator, or its moderators.

    In order to post a new topic - or reply to existing ones - you may join and become a member by clicking on Register New User. It's completely free and only requires a working email address (in order to confirm your registration - it will never be given away!). We strive to make this a friendly and informative forum for anyone interested in pipe organs and organ music.

Dupre Improvising At Sulpice...

Thanks for sharing this, CD! :tiphat:

Typical Dupré, with the unavoidable canon (at around 3' into the clip).

If I am not mistaken, the clip was actually copied from http://orgelconcerten.ncrv.nl, a treasure of an archive, containing many other gems.

Aloha acc - My pleasure it is to serve.......

I never tire of hearing the CC at Sulpice, St. Ouen, La Madeleine, St. Etienne de Caen, St. Sernin, Sacre Coeur, or La Trinité. And then the Masters who, as if by magic, paint a wonderful sound canvas. Dupre's art, imho, became so highly developed because of his exposure to CC's dream-machine at Sulpice.

Thanx for that fascinating website entitled *OrgelConcerten.*

Cheerio,

CD :tiphat::tiphat::tiphat:

WOW!!! thanx so very much for that website...

Indeed. There appears to be much to investigate.

I also agree with you regarding the sound of instruments by Aristide Cavaillé-Coll - although that at La Trinité has been somewhat altered on a number of occasions - often at the behest of Olivier Messiaen, Titulaire for many years.

The organ at La Madeleine is also a little different, having had eleven stops added over three occasions. 1957, 1971 and 1988.It is still a good sound, though.
