Il y’a beaucoup de rageux dans les commentaires mais en attendant l’organiste de ND c’est lui pas vous ! Il sait ce qu’il fait, il le fait bien et il est payé pour !
Merci beaucoup, Vincent! It's always such a great pleasure to hear, and see, you play this magnificent organ. 👍👏 I'm wondering what the "chord-sustain" feature is? Haven't ever seen that before. Does anyone have any info on this?
It's a sostenuto feature that was added a handful of years back; I think it was when the organ got its new console. Basically when engaged you can press a note or combination of notes and it will be sustained until you press the next note/s. From a music theory perspective, one is simply using a pedal point or pedal chord as we could perhaps call it. And assuming the music is tonal, you can get away with all sorts of exotic sounds so long as the chord is resolved properly. If you want to go looking for more info, try Googling 'orgue Notrè-Dame sostenuto' (without inverted commas, of course). You may need to have the page translated by Google if you don't speak French.
@@Sathrandur Thank you, Samuel, for your reply. I'm a classically trained organist (Master's degree) and this is the first time I've seen this feature. I can see where it might come in handy, especially during an improv. I'll investigate on Google -- and though I speak/read a little French, I'll probably be hitting "translate." 😀 Thanks, again. Much appreciated.
As I understand it, the newish console (completely out of character with 1910 version still preserved as a museum curiosity) is completely MIDI connected by fiber optics to the venerable pipes. It has many modern tricks used by these modern organists to full advantage. First time I saw the sustain feature. Previous videos featured a split pedal clavier, e.g. 16 & 8 lower octave left foot while right plays 8 or 4’ solo line on octave plus above. I suspect it has full memory, sequencer record and playback capability. The artists use memory sequence pistons plus and minus to greater effect than traditional crescendo pedal. The audio and video production values are superb in Vincent’s work.
@@phyzygy Very interesting. Thank you for your reply. It is rather amazing, the possibilities that computer controls on pipe organs offer today. I wonder how things will be for organists a hundred years from now (assuming Trump doesn't start a nuclear war!).
@@phyzygy Yes, I believe it does have playback ability. I'm pretty sure I saw that on another video where Olivier Latry had pre-played a work and the organ played it back. St Eustache has this feature and it's linked with the key mechanism (not sure about the pedals): ruclips.net/video/63P3ZzzmjnE/видео.html
Ça se répète, ça se répète, ça se répète...où est le thème ? Impossible de le détacher de ce qu'on entend. Heureusement, que c'est sur l'orgue de Notre Dame, ça fait de l'effet ! Cochereau disait "même un singe sur la console de ND ferait applaudir"
@aqua : C'est bien de répéter les répétitions (même si on ne vérifie pas les sources) Cochereau aimait aussi beaucoup impressionner avec des tutti parfois bien creux. Achetez-vous une paire d'oreilles 🤣
Il fait vraiment n'importe quoi ! Improvisation n'est pas synonyme de cacophonie... les dissonances quand c'est bien placé, quand c'est du jazz, c'est beau... mais quand 300 canards emplissent la cathédrale, y'a pas de secret, ça fait coin-coin...
Magnifique! Merci Vincent!! 🤩
Wonderful! Thank you Vincent for always recording such great moments of music! :-)
How did the sound get recorded so well?? Amazing
J'en ai écouté une dizaine, d'autres titillent, mais frissons avec celui-ci !!
That’s magical that the swell is on some sort of sustain...
Simply stunning!

Superb.
why I do hear notes, which are not played by him?
It's the 'sustain', see the comments of Bob H/Samuel Whitehead below!
