Look at the rolling score. Quite simple but elegant harmony, and inventive keybord writing. Corette was more or less something like a French Telemann. .I should add that organ appears better to me than harpsichord, which could be covered by the strings. This is a problem even in Bach's harpsichord concertos. Here, the French type organ is masterly registered.
Michel Corrette was an excellent composer and teacher. It is just a pity that he and his music is little known nowadays. He wrote many tutors for violin, viola, cello, double bass, mandoline, traverso (baroque flute in D), harpsichord, oboe, bassoon, and singing. I personally use his traverso and violin tutors because I study late French baroque music. His musical output is also impressive by the quantity and quality.
Lebhafte und wunderschöne Interpretation dieser sechs kompakten und fein komponierten Konzerte mit herrlichen Tönen der technisch perfekten Orgel sowie gut harmonisierten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen der anderen Instrumente. Der erfahrene Dirigent leitet das perfekt trainierte Barockensemble in verschiedenen Tempi und mit angenehmer Dynamik. Die französische Musik vor der Revolution ist fast ausnahmslos schön!
I love organ music and I thought had and extensive repertoire, butI was wrong, I've never heard of Corrette before. So glad I came across this, he requires further research!
Michel Corrette is the first composer to listen to, but all six songs are excellent. Born in the pre-classical period, it was composed in the year Mozart was born, and I think it is a music that really feels classical grace. The influence of Handel can hardly be glimpsed anymore, and it seems that he is creating a world peculiar to Michel Corrette. I often listen to organ concertos, but I love works such as Johann Baptist Wanhal in C major and F major, Antonio Salieri in C major, and so on. I also like this Michel Corrette's 6 organ concertos, so I'll add them to my RUclips playlist.

This set of organ concertos, very much in the high baroque style, was produced in the year of Mozart's birth when many composers were already composing in a Classical style or in a Rococo transition style.
Quite interesting. New discovery. But why so good? Because he followed the Italians. Even wrote a pedagogical manual about Italian music. This music is good to the extent that it is Italian. To the extent that it is French, it could have been better. Leo Depuydt
A mi me extraña que a pesar de lo buenos que son estos conciertos ninguna de las agrupaciones barrocas famosas actuales haya querido grabar estos conciertos. Esta grabación es muy buena aunque algo vieja; ojalá Fasolis, Dantone o Koopman le den una nueva versión. Una maravilla de conciertos para órgano con orquesta, junto con los de Handel y Haydn son de mis favoritos.
Los conciertos barrocos, clásicos, románticos, etc no se graban por capricho. El interés comercial decide que es lo que se edita infiriendo tales o cuales ganancias. Sólo la Unión Soviética y la Rusia actual graban, editan y publican versiones de sus autores y colegas. El Catálogo Estatal de Música de 1992 incluía todos los conciertos de Corrette grabados en la Catedral Naval de Kronstadt
Apparemment il puise autant son inspiration chez les maîtres de la musique allemande (Bach) que chez les Italiens (Corelli, Vivaldi). C'est riche, c'est chaud, c'est bon! Okay, pour avoir écouté plus loin, disons que c'est plus les techniques italiennes que l'harmonie subtile. Reste que c'est d'un bon niveau.
As an Englishman I totally loathe the French, but I have to admit a great liking for Corrette's music (it's so un-French) but not surprisingly it's pre-revolutionary, before the French went mental big-time. Just to mention Jean-Baptiste Lully also, too good to be French, spot on, he was born in Italy !
Agreed. It's sloppy as a result. The organist and orchestra fall out of sync again and again. The organist has very poor timing. They should have stuck an earpiece with a metronome in his ear.
I don't hear any direct quotes, just rather convential baroque practices found in any work. He seems to be especially fond of 7th suspensions, for example a progression like I - I(maj7) - IV - IV(7) - VII - VII(7) etc. very common in the baroque and beyond, Bach was especially fond of it to modulate as it just goes through the circle of fifths. I can't hear any direct quotations though, and given this composer was a contemporary of Bach and it took about 20 years after his death, maybe less in Vienna and the 'society of ancient music', for him to gain that much fame. Even then he was niche, known really to other composers until the romantic era and Mendelssohn's famous "rediscovery". Corrette might not of even known who Bach was until his later years. He would've of been familiar with Vivaldi and Handel, both composers who achieved 'superstar' status in their day. I hear a lot more of their influence than the dense Germanic counterpoint of Bach to be honest.
First time I'm hearing of Corrette or his music. Instantly hooked.
Me too!

His Symphonies de Noël are pretty good too: ruclips.net/video/iBgo2Wn7CvU/видео.html
The comfort of organ music is immeasurable
This is a great gift to organ music lovers

How could I have missed this for the 60 years I have been on this planet ! I'm hooked
Bellisimos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very glad to be introduced to this composer. Thanks for posting.
Simple, yet very beautiful. Bravo, Michel Corrette!

Still remember your reply in Pau Ng's Salieri Organ Concerto video lol
it´s not six songs but six concertos pls

I've always loved these ever since first discovering this recording decades ago. I performed the 3rd Concerto in my second dissertation recital.
I wish I could've been there.
That 2nd concerto is gorgeous
Un genio en la innovación

His father was Gaspard Corrette.
jubilation de jouer la musique jubilation de vivre
Hermosa tu frase Jean Louis Rosa! Me la llevo...!
Correte, um último barroco cheio de graça e invenção. O espírito de Vivaldi paira nesses tubos e cordas.
Monsieur Corrette himself seems to have been Don Vivaldi´s biggest fan.
Where can I buy this sheet music? It looks like a facsimile.
You can find it on IMSLP
I appreciate it very much, but... I think it is played too fast and it could be better at a calm pace.
Agreed. It's sloppy as a result. The organist and orchestra fall out of sync again and again. The organist has very poor timing. They should have stuck an earpiece with a metronome in his ear.
Who was it who said: 'races are for horses'?
Think Dink!
Well, Bartok said "Competitions are for horses, not artists" if that's what you're referring to.

@@gregoryborton6598 an excellent analysis. A good example of how the ear can betray the listener.
Suena más italiano que alemán.
Dommage que ca presse dans les solos !!!!!!
Verfrissende muziek van een mij onbekende componist.
It’s written and sounds like G.F. Heandel, bizarre, bizarre…
