Es ist kaum zu glauben; ich kann nichts mehr dazu sagen, obwohl ich es gerne täte ... das klingt so schön, genau so wie man sich den lieben Gott gerne vorstellen möchte.
C'est superbe, c'est magnifique ; c'est clair, lumineux, il s'en dégage une grande sérénité. C'est le bon tempo, une remarquable régistration, le tout joué sur un orgue qui a du coffre. J'ai eu le bonheur de participer à un concert avec elle à Saint Donat où il y a un festival Bach réputé. J' ai apprécié sa simplicité sa gentillesse, sa modestie, qui est typique des très grands artistes. Comme on la regrette ! Heureusement, elle a laissé plein d'enregistrements qui sont une référence. Merci Madame Marie Claire Alain pour tout le bonheur que vous nous avez apporté. P Mosnier Strasbourg
Thanks for posting this. She’s one of the greatest interpreters of Bach who ever lived and had a great influence over an entire generation of organists
Господи ! Слава Тебе ! Бах - Вселенская душа , избранная Самим Подателем Жизни , Творцом вселенной , чтобы мы могли услышать музыкальную математику , гармонию Неба хоть частично ..... Музыка Баха вечна , как Вечен отец Небесный и Его Вселенная ..Слава Отцу и Сыну ...И С Бах , всю свою жизнь , посвятил прославлению Властелину Галактик , Отцу Нашему Небесному и Его Сыну - Господу нашему и Спасителю через Музыку ...
I dl'd all 14 volumes the first time you posted them, and found the AllMusic web page for the CDs so I'd have track listings. Wow and double-wow. These are the most amazing performances and recordings I've ever heard, and on organs worthy of the music. I've just finished my second go-round and after resting up a few days I'm going in again. Erato and M-C Alain did miracles here, and your postings were equal to the task. Very clean, very detailed. To paraphrase an old TV commercial: I can't believe you posted the whole thing. Had the Ton Koopman series before, but this wiped it off my drive. Who'd have thought the old woman had so much blood in her? Thanks and thanks again.
+slothropgr How do you download the 14 volumes? I would like to have them on my hard drive. I have the boxed set of 14 CDs, I once had a vinyl set of an earlier complete works (also by Erato but purchased through the Musical Heritage Society). The vinyl set had incredibly good liner notes. Unfortunately the liner notes of the CD set cannot compare (and you need a magnifying glass to read them).
I found 'em on this site and just dl'd 'em. Must have been a stroke of luck because when I came back a couple of months later (see comment above) there were only first first 5. And ARv44 hasn't put the rest back yet. But if you have them on CD, why not just read them onto your drive? They would take more space but the sound would probably be even better. All 14 in mp3 take up 1.74GB.
Best performance of the "Wedge" Fugue ever recorded. R.I.P. Mme Alain

It may be played differently, but none come better than this. What a fabulous organ!
Diese Frau war ein großes Genie

The Prelude & Fugue in the beginning is absolutely phenomenal, I love it.

Magnifique. Oui, magnifique.
Che magnifica organista.....ho sempre il dubbio di chi tra Alain ,Walcha e Hurford sia il mio preferito....direi tutti e tre allo stesso livello😊
A magnificent offering of great music on fine organs from all over the world. Grand merci! ~H~
thank you so much! a divine blessing
La mejor organista de todos los tiempos.¡Sublime!
Very very good. The best
J'en ai le souffle coupé, quelle merveille, et quelle justesse dans les tempi, sans parler de la qualité de l'articulation.
Beautiful tempo in the opening BWV 548.
A really great and inspiring interpretation, from any aesthetic point of view, to be listened during all the liturgical calendar!
What an organist
Brilliant

7:23 Wedge Fugue in E Minor, BWV 548
Ma version preférée de cette pièce.
