Une improvisation très claire et bien rythmée! Le son des chamades est revelateur du style Parisienne, j'adore! Les modifications après Cavaille-Coll sont plutôt bien réussi sur cet instrument.
on sort des chemins battus et ceux qu'Olivier nous propose sont bordés de buissons aux fleurs multicolores et parfumés .....pour l'oreille.C'est très beau.
A highly focussed and rhythmically very taut improvisation with some wonderfully virtuosic exchanges of material between manuals and pedal. The very short and simple theme is very characterful, if by nature rather inflexible (and perhaps for some ears just a little over-insistent), and takes the form of a recurring motif rather than one that is extensively developed per se through rhythmic manipulation and harmonic development. Indeed, the harmonic style is rather different from many contemporary French improvisers, with greater emphasis on parallel relationships rather than complex chords. Structurally, the improvisation is based on a relatively small amount of material, but this makes for regular 'signposts' and conveys a strong sense of purpose and control of the overall architecture. All the material is placed with great control and discipline, and avoids the splashy textures and gestures that mar many a superficially impressive improvisation. More improvisations from Monsieur Penin please!!
Avec un banc aussi proche d'un garde corps pas très haut, je ne serais pas rassuré et j'aurais le vertige. Mieux vaut se tenir bien droit et même penché vers la console.
Everything souded fantastic until these horrible en chamade reeds kicked in. Sounds like a cheap fuzz effect at full swing. Was it worse removing Cavaillé Coll's gorgeous console just to implement a set of truck horns in its place? Mr Dargassie seems to have hard times when it comes to voicing en chamade stops. The Cavaillé Coll organ in the church of La Madeleine suffered the same unhappy graft. I hope these klaxons will be revoiced to a more subtle en chamade sound some day, like Cavaillé Coll used to do.
+78lds the Cavaille-Col console was removed in the 1930's. Tournemire willed it to Flor Peeters and he kept it in his home referring to it as La Relique.At Peeters death it was willed to the Belgian Conservatory.
Super ! Cependant désolé mais les chamades sont tout simplement affreuses, je sais pas quel est le fou qui a inventé ça on dirait un son de vilaines abeilles ! je trouve qu' on entend que ça et ça prend trop le dessus sur le grand plein jeu, du coup ça gâche toute la richesse et la complexité sonore de l' instrument ! Il faudrait au moins les utiliser en solo mais pas à outrance sur le plein jeu sinon c'est vraiment laid ! Je parle en tant que musicien passionné.
The most beautiful organ in the world. The bést organist in the world.
Brilliant playing and a superlative improvisation!
Bravo for this marvelous presentation!

Thrilling!
a wonderful technique wed to a delightful and disciplined imagination.
Powerful and elegant!
Fantastica improvvisazione: bravo!
bravissimo esecuzione stupenda
Sublime ! Ca va être bizarre de le voir donner cours après ça :p
Good on you!!!!
Super
Bravo!
Interesting in that it appears that the crescendo pedal actually controls (turns on and off) the draw knobs...

You took the words right out of my cliché... honey.
Ah, good, I hate when they cut the tape before the reverb finishes decaying out. :-"
Elle n'est pas mal non plus celle là, Olivier

I don't have a dog in this fight, but the 'set of truck horns' comment made me burst out belly-laughing like an idiot.
