Il s'agit de la meilleure interprétation que j'ais entendue. Ce qui demeure important est que Monsieur l'organiste est capable de le jouer tout par cœur. Avec cette capacité, on peut se concentrer sur l'articulation et la nuance. Mille merci pour cette présentation.
Tempo et phrasé sont idéaux. Tant de sérénité dans cette interprétation, très inspirée, nous offre ici un moment de paix et d'éternité ! MERCI & BRAVO à Vincent DUBOIS !!
Variété des jeux, sensibilité à fleur des doigts, il est rare de ressentir une telle émotion dans cette méditation pourtant austère mais admirablement mise en valeur ici, grâce à vous.
Not sure if you guys cares but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times then you can stream all the latest movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Have been watching with my brother for the last few weeks :)
Love the comments stretching over 9 years now, an eternity in internet time, but a drop in the bucket in the time this music’s been around. The only thing erased when humans disappear that the universe might miss: the music created in Europe over the last four centuries. Like this. Oh, we WANTED to be angels! Too bad it didn’t work out except in these beautiful strains.
Beautifully played...one of the very finest performances I've ever heard of this piece...truly poetic. M. Dubois has recently been appointed one of the three titular organists of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris...good choice!
Musica commovente, appassionante, mistica. Tocca il cuore e l'anima. Suscita in me tantissimi ricordi perché l'ascolto sin dalla giovinezza. Questo organista è bravissimo e suona con molta passione. Anche il suono dell'organo è molto suggestivo... L'atmosfera stimola in me la preghiera... Grazie... il video merita molta più diffusione...
Excellent interpretation of a Franck Romantic Melody - your use of rubato is very sensitively played. The Prelude is almost mystical - Thank you very much for it.
C'est magnifique, la musique est vivante, l'interprétation est subtile dans les infinies variations de tempo et l'orgue Gonzalez rend merveilleusement cette musique. Très beau hautbois, très beaux fonds.
Une pépite qui fait chaud au coeur surtout ainsi interprétée. L'Orgue est celui de Cathédrale Saints-Gervais-et-Protais de Soissons À l'origine, il s'agissait d'un instrument construit par Crépin Carlier en 1619 qui avait été transformé en 1690 par Robert Clicquot et restauré par Thierry en 1725 et par François-Henri Clicquot en 1766 qui utilisa la tuyauterie de l'orgue de cathédrale ainsi que de celui de l'abbaye de Saint-Jean-des-Vignes.
The most musical performance I have heard on the organ in quite sometime. You have a marvelous sense of line, dynamics. Few of the very famous organist have the sensibility to achieve what you have done!
It is a little known fact that Franck's famous "Prelude, Fugue et Variation, Op.18", was originally written for harmonium & piano duo (1862). Franck then transcribed it for organ, and it was later re-transcribed for solo piano. Beautifully and very sensitively played.
A long time ago I could play this . ..Incredibly beautiful interpretation on a wonderful instrument and good Registration... nice to see the tracker action
As much as I love the piano versions, I think the right organ when well-played (like here) offers a wider range of emotion, and greater sense of intimacy. Something about that haunting melody....needs...wind...
Worth trying to find a recording of the original version. The harmonium has a very distinctive sorority in combination with the brighter sound of the piano. Also with the added attraction of the two voices in combination. The versions are complementary.
My first organ teacher, André Fleury, often referred to Franck as a pianist that skillfully played the organ without really understanding the instrument. Vierne would himself remember (and insist on) Franck’s stunning improvisations over the somehow muddled Master’s performances. This was before Widor demanding pedagogy, at the Conservatoire. This says a lot about the perception of such a work, so easily taken from church to society, back in the old days. Had you wished to hear a particular music, you had to play it on the piano (or have it played for you), in your own living room, possibly. No CD, no RUclips, then. If any piano transcription occurred, here, it may tell more about that sort of need than imply a predilection for the piano itself. That’s probably why some people here would use the word « intimate » to define Mister Dubois’ performance. (Funny enough, homonym Theodore Dubois was truly hired as the first organist at Ste-Clotilde, so Elgar Schauerte says in her Bärenreiter introduction to Dubois’ organ work. Franck and Dubois soon switched positions due to Dubois’ engagements : he had been awarded the Prix de Rome, which implied spending two years in that city.)
To be brief, this was written for piano and Mustel Organ duet. Franck also did it out for organ solo. Either are valid. The piano version is the arrangement.
Still, this composition was first included in the “Six pièces pour grand-orgue” (1860-1862) : opus18 (“Prélude, Fugue et Variation, FWV30”). It was written as soon as 1862, and actually meant to become the third of those “Six Pièces”. Franck had inaugurated the Ste-Clotilde organ on December 19th 1859. His first collection for organ was a tribute to the new Cavaillé-Coll instrument, and he had even played its Final (number 6) on that memorable day. Although opus 18 was not published until 1868 (by Maeyens-Couvreur ... not Durand), it was originally presented as an organ work. Then the composer himself produced a piano & harmonium transcription, this time published by Durand, Schoenewerk et Cie., in 1880. Later, pianist Blanche Selva transcribed for the piano Franck’s Three Chorals, as well as the “Grande Pièce Symphonique”, opus 17. But I could not come across a piano transcription of opus 18 by Franck himself, so far. We are definitely talking about an organ work, here.
An other true and great musician playing the organ without the score. Reminds me of Jean Guillou which I never saw reading anything even the most complicated Bach fugues.
It is the mark of a true musician, Master of the instrument. Before the last 40 years, all concert organists memorized their music. This is not spectacular or unusual, it is the sign of a brilliant performer which Mssr. Dubois is without question.
Je souviens quand j'ai étudié cette œuvre : ma première impression était que je faisais une promenade dans la nef de l'église au même temps en regardant les peintures, sculptures et vitraux, ces derniers avec les rayons du soleil leurs traversant (ça vaut pour les mouvements extrêmes, le prélude et sa variation).
Toute la sensibilité de Vincent DUBOIS s'exprime dans ce tryptique de César FRANCK: d'une ineffable tendresse, son interprétation nous invite à la contemplation mystique ! ...
In my humble, know nothing opinion, the piano NEVER can equal the pipe organ, especially the cathedral organ. However, I do love the Dutch Jussen Brothers.
I would agree generally speaking but it depends on the piece we talk about. In this case the piano arrange is indeed a quite good and fine piece of music, better in some ways to the organ original.

Comme c'est beau, poignant et touchant! une telle interprétation bouleverse complètement.
Magnifique! Que de souvenirs... C'était le morceau que jouait souvent l'organiste après l'eucharistie.
Variété des jeux, sensibilité à fleur des doigts, il est rare de ressentir une telle émotion dans cette méditation pourtant austère mais admirablement mise en valeur ici, grâce à vous.
My father was a musician a master of organ, he played this one many times, this is beautiful and reaches my soul.
Not sure if you guys cares but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times then you can stream all the latest movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Have been watching with my brother for the last few weeks :)
@Gus Dariel yea, been watching on Instaflixxer for since december myself :)
Un chef d'oeuvre qui invite au recueillement... et Dieu sait que nous avons besoin de prier. Merci pour ce merveilleux moment.
Merveilleux prélude, très bien interprété; voilà une musique qui élève l'âme. Merci!
Everything that I have heard so far played by this guy, turns to gold!

La beauté qui émane de cette œuvre fait en sorte que les larmes me montent aux yeux... Et que dire de l'interprétation, absolument sublime! ❤️😢❤️
What a fine organist Vincent du bois is. This is such a beautiful composition. Ethereal. So imaginatively expressed and performed by Vincent.
I could listen to great Vincent's mastery and finesse all day and not tire.
C'est magnifique, la musique est vivante, l'interprétation est subtile dans les infinies variations de tempo et l'orgue Gonzalez rend merveilleusement cette musique. Très beau hautbois, très beaux fonds.
Tout est dit et bien dit ... calme et sérénité.... Félicitations .
beautiful tempo and interpretation.
I could not miss anything while watching his performance. How elegant!! Bravo👍👍👍
Très très belle interprétation ! très bien construite j'aime beaucoup merci

So very beautiful! Thank you, Maestro!
This is an exquisite interpretation! Lovely supple phrasing, with a totally natural rubato. Vincent Dubois is a truly sensitive artist.
Absolutely stunning performance. Just gorgeous.
The most musical performance I have heard on the organ in quite sometime. You have a marvelous sense of line, dynamics. Few of the very famous organist have the sensibility to achieve what you have done!
I looked for this beautiful melody for years. I knew it from my youth time when I was member of a church choir
perfect. this is my favorite piece, done so beautifully

Well, I feel sure that the organ version is the best. The organ best suits the style and character of the work.
Silence. La divinité c'est le silence... devant cette interpretation de Vincent.
interprétation magnifique , émouvante et sobre à la fois.
This is beautifully played.
Ahhh!! Beautiful! =))
His playing comforts my mind.
Merci. Mr.Dubois
Je ne m'en fous pas. Malgré notre éducation et tout, larmes aux yeux, bravo.
Absolument magnifique! Bravo !
une spirale de bonheur, en chemin presque vers l'extase. L'organiste habite son interprétation de toute sa sensibilité
Beautiful performance. So wistful and melancholy.
On ne saurait mieux jouer cette pièce. Bravo !
This is the most beautiful performance of this piece that I ever heard! Thank you so much!
Bravo! Bravissimo! Belissima performance desta obra-prima do grande mestre Cesar Franck! Parabens!
I love the transition from the fugue to the variation. It is so natural, yet subtle!

this piece makes me want to cry
+vulkanosaure It's suppose to. Cesar composed it memory of a dear friend who had just past on. You might like the piano version even more. CVD
+Charles Davis thanks for the input :)

Bravo. Dolcezza e poesia nella tua interpretazione.
Bravissimo!Bellissime dinamiche!
Прекраснейшее исполнение шедерва. Словно разговор с Богом
Lovely performance!
wonderful exquisite phrasing

My father often played César Franck after the protestant church meeting. And I agree... Beautiful.
Beautiful playing.
An other true and great musician playing the organ without the score. Reminds me of Jean Guillou which I never saw reading anything even the most complicated Bach fugues.

Very nice and deep harmony... Majestic music.
My grand, grandfather was studying in Paris in the 1880 for César Franck.
Really? Wow
Le son de l'orgue Gonzalez est vraiment merveilleux. Bravissimo!!!
So wonderfull, so wunderbar.
Reviens à Roquevaire Vincent !!!
Bravo pour cette émouvante interprétation.

Bravo ! Très belle interprétation !
Wonderful performance . . .
Je souviens quand j'ai étudié cette œuvre : ma première impression était que je faisais une promenade dans la nef de l'église au même temps en regardant les peintures, sculptures et vitraux, ces derniers avec les rayons du soleil leurs traversant (ça vaut pour les mouvements extrêmes, le prélude et sa variation).
Espectacular!!👏👏👏
Beautiful. Thanks.
Atmendes Spiel, Linien, Bögen, flexible Zeitgestaltung. Perfekt!!!
Beautiful.....love....
timeless, a good example for the yough, learn to lissen and than feel the music. After more than hundred years made and still be loved by many people
Vincent Dubois est très fantastique
lovely playing
Magnificently moving.
Toute la sensibilité de Vincent DUBOIS s'exprime dans ce tryptique de César FRANCK: d'une ineffable tendresse, son interprétation nous invite à la contemplation mystique ! ...
Magnificent pipe organ
I found it marvelous, i like organ special in slow pieces of music, becouse the acoustic and the organ
Теперь слушая это произведение я буду вспоминать тебя...❤ 22.11.2019
So wunderbar!
The variation is rather interesting. I'd like to write a variation on that variation.
Hi Eric; I could be stunning for cello and piano. Go for it. Blessings. CVD
Enigmatic music and performance....
Obra maestra, inspiración sublime; da paz al espíritu. Seguramente en un tempo con un gran órgano alguna lágrima nos caerá pero de alegría y regocijo.
MARAVILLOSO.
beautiful
Bravissimo!
El organista al que me refiero es Klemens Schnorr, si tenéis la oportunidad de oírlo notaréis la diferencia entre lo bueno y lo superior.
très touchant!
This music make me happy. I'm fly.
That was beautiful, dude...:')

DESDE EL MINUTO 7:20 CHEQUEN ESTA GRAN OBRA¡¡¡ QUE MAGISTRAL EJECUCION¡
-- Un pur moment de plénitude. --
The moviments are the way the musician feels the music. We do it withouth think on it.
At minute 2.07: wich is the function of the two pedals? Are they for the dynamics? Thanks
Superb! 🎧 👍
Sooooo Nice ~ THANK YOU !!!
Vorrei sapere se le Prelude è stato usato in un film francese. Grazie. Brano di grande suggestione.
Very, very nice...
I think César fFank wrote this piece for organ, all piano interpretations were transcriptions; some very beautyfull, but just transcriptions
No, He wrote it for piano and then modified it for organ. Sorry, this is as you put it - Just a transcription. Sorry, too bad it is so disappointing.
You are right. We are so accustomed in France to consider César Franck as an organist (what he was) that we forget that he was writing for piano.
My first organ teacher, André Fleury, always referred to Franck as a pianist that skillfully played the organ without really understanding the instrument. Vierne would himself remember (and insist on) Franck’s stunning improvisations over the somehow muddled Master’s performances.

But I could not come across a piano transcription of opus 18 by Franck himself, so far.
We are definitely talking about an organ work, here.
Why does he change the tempo of the notes? Some crochets are doubled and some silences are omitted. Excellent as a whole.
