I love this work. In 1995 I was having mind related problems, it was not easy to get hold of and I copied it by hand: very therapeutic - The Cambridge recording has the Plainchant - you need that as well really. As with Couperin, but I never heard a Couperin Mass done liturgically -
Dupre was incredible, fierce to learn some of these works. It's supposed to be noisy to show off the bombardes and trompettes, a french specialty, sorely lacking in english organs. It's supposed to match the awe-inspiring beyond words architecture of their many high gothic and neo-classical cathedrals. More is...well, more.
A great piece and a fine performance, but I think the recording quality lacked clarity. I don't think the production crew knew how to effectively deal with the acoustics of this organ.
@@jimrader5299you're wasting your breath. He cannot produce them. This collection is among his greatest works. McNeil Robinson recorded these pieces in 1970, brilliantly, I might add. Very colorful, with various levels of difficulty.
@@mayernbunchenfan Not only a terrible improvisation, but an improvisation that should have never been written down and published as "music". It's got an opus number and everything, this should have been left and forgotten, never seeing the light of day.
Thank you so much for this! Ben van Oosten is a master of the French Romantic literature. This is absolutely fantastic! Thank you once again!

It is also amazing how the Song of Songs (for this is what the text is) prefigures Horace's take on spring.
Splendid ! Reminded me of great bells ringing
Omg, I rediscovered this video now, and guess who I got the chance to hear live today? Ben van Oosten!!!
Awesome!

I have no idea why I'm here or why this is in my Recommendation, but I'm curious in what this is
God has Blessed you with a serene and Spiritually-healing meditation. Glad you're here.
Is this at St. Ouen?
Yes!

Loud cliched and boring.
How so? Examples, please.

Poor composition. Embarrasment to the world of music, you would think a child wrote it.
It’s cool
ratio
And so boring
It was an improvisation...
