- This clip was recorded during mass on Sunday 5th August 2018.
Here, organist Jean Claude Guidarini improvises an exciting final postlude often referred to as a ‘sortie’.
The organ is a world renowned example of Aristide Cavaillé-Coll’s symphonic organ building which influenced so many composers in the 19th and 20th centuries.
You will notice the powerful pedal Bombardes of 32’, 16’ and 8’, as well as the battery of Trompette en Chamade reeds.
Wow! What a sound! The world owes a great debt of gratitude to Aristide Cavaille-Coll. There is no sound like this in the world!
NOW THIS is how a Mass should end.
and people behaving like in a supermarket
Improvisation is such an art. Organ improv requires such a detailed knowledge of the great repertoires of the organ and how to recreate their styles instantly with a deep insight into the capabilities of the organ... But this is only the start. Here, the late great Jean Claude Guidarini demonstrates he really was the Leonardo da Vinci of the organ world. These improvisations should be notated and preserved.
The power and majesty of this organ just has me in awe everytime I listen to it.
One Of My Favorite Organs Of Cavaille-Coll. A True Masterpiece
¨
Clearly this is Cavaille Coll's masterpiece. And what a triumphant conclusion to the Mass, so full of joy and hope.
No other instrument adds magnificence to worship than an organ.
Ah what a voice she has. That craggy pyramid of sound! You can see every stone, every mortar joint.
Like flowing water, this music cleanses, - and hearts are set free.
Looks like a normal organ recessional after a service. Organ got louder and meant business. That’s when some of the parishioners turned back from the door to take it in!
Merci mille fois. Je suis né tout près de la Basilique St Sernin à Toulouse en 1966 et j'ai toujours entendu ce que nous appelons en France les grandes orgues. Merci beaucoup. God bless you.
That little boy listening with his mother . . . it could have been me at age eight as I would have stayed until the music finished if allowed to.
So wonderful, I have always especially loved this instrument, a true jewel in the crown of maestro Cavaille-Coll. Like the Allkmaar organ, it has a special resonance, a brilliance that enables all of its colors to shine and sing with clarity. And as a case in point, refer to the old Musical Heritage Society recordings of the Vierne symphonies recorded on the St. Sernin organ by Pierre Labriq.
So baut man eine Kathedralorgel. Das Genie Cavallié-Colls bleibt unübertroffen
Beautifully improvisatie, Merci.
This is the closest mankind can come to the sound of our Gracious Lord....
Perhaps the most incredible Cavaillé-Coll tutti next to Notre-Dame, (with Saint-Ouen of course, but something else, more ''pure'' than ''total'' power) in classic D Major full force here, at HALF its size !! (54 stops against 108+, yet Saint-Sernin has I believe 18 or 19 (oui...) fiery reeds out or its total, giving litterally the third of this organ, explaining the incredible power for the size !
Comme c'est émouvant d'entendre Jean Claude. Il nous manque à tous. Mais le trio Daldosso-Desmottes-Pesce va redonner toute sa vigueur à l'autre orgue dont il était titulaire, celui de l'église du Taur, un Puget génial, à 2 minutes à pied de Saint-Sernin. Toulouse, sacré Ville pour les orgues !!
thanks for posting, and you have dealt with the trolls in the comments well
Absolutely fabulous!! Jerry of San Diego
A great edifice and organ!
Некоторые импровизации настолько прекрасны, что становится грустно от того, что они не записаны на бумаге и никогда больше не будут сыграны.
В этом, наверное, и есть экзистенциальный смысл импровизаций. Лишь некоторые попадают на нотные листы. Я грущу, что уходят люди, которые играют эти импровизации...
C’est pas moi qui pleure, c’est mes yeux!
A favorite. Wonderful
Soul thrilling!
Bravo Cavaille Coll
Rest in Peace Jean-Claude
How powerful the sound and still "hangs together". Amazing!
❤ Wow. What a great sound. Magnificent.
+RIP Jean-Claude Guidarini,
10 April 2020, aged 58.
So sorry to learn this.
One of the most magnificent organs in the world.
Merveilleux
Quem sabe! Um dia eu quero participar da missa na Basílica Saint Sernin. 🇧🇷
Um 👍✨
Unlike most of the people after the church, I would stay. I grew up in a home with a two rank Moller pipe organ that unfortunately was not in operating condition when I started to learn music as a child
Magnificent, what a sound.
My believe in God can only return with this kind of music... ;) This is how mass should be celebrated...
C'est Magnifique!!
Very magnificent...
Superb
2:12 I wish i was that boy entering.. Do we understand that the world of today will not give kids any opportunity to wonder about what mankind and God did produce? They are building back better… but for this boy it is not a wonderfull future ahead.
The French Sound. I LOVE IT :)
? Please tell us the name of this piece of music.The Organist is awesome.
It’s improvised!
Most churches in America never experience this and if they do, some silver-haired old dame will approach you at the organ to insist you were too
L O U D😱
🤣🤣🤣
🙏🙏 Amen.
je peux vous jurer que les anges sur les tourelles ont du trembler !
The organist died at the age of 58 in 2020 unfortunately
Was this organ lost in a fire last year?
Nono, this is Sernin organ, organ with most beatifull sound ever made.... you thing about NotreDame GreatOrgan, that was in 2019, organ survived, but it must be clean and retuned. I dont remember that any french organ was in fire in 2020 i hope not. But what i know, Sernin, Ouen, Sulpice Organs are OK.
@@xReMmiXX I think he was talking of the Nantes Cathedral organ that we totally lost last year due to a criminal fire
@@sysymama7472 Oh, no! That was the first and only Cavaille Coil instrument I've had the pleasure of playing.
I'm terribly sorry about that, and I apologize for the misinformation.
Ditto everything below.
👍
Als alles normal war!
As an organ technician, I especially liked the parts where she acted as if random stops might start playing at any given moment, how she viewed the organ console as basically a "computer" which was predominantly responsible for coupling the right keys at the right times while she fumbled with the action, and other errors which betrayed her lack of experience with trackers.
I’m sorry, but I have no idea what on earth you are talking about.
Thoroughly absurd...
What a teaser! Great music in Low-Fi sound. Bummer.
😔
Improvisation = Pierre Cochereau = the best
This is the last sound
I think you are confusing this with different organs in France. Maybe Paris?
l'organiste qui a mangé du canard déchainé !
Why do think this?
@@peterbrand7131 its self evident, that he went far beyond the line of the liturgical event. August is just a normal sunday after Pentecost. This is way to festive and impossible to beat for times like Resurrection.
@@francoisplaniol1489 it’s all relative.
The traditional Latin Mass is much better...with that organ music which for written for it!
post-noise
*Pull out all the stops and improvise a cliched fffff toccata. Surely French organists can do better. I’ve heard them do better. This performance hardly does a fine organ- with a multitude of beautiful, contrasting stops-justice. It must be an ego trip for the priests walking down the aisle tho.*
I don’t think there is anything wrong with a toccata improvisation. I mean, they’re not easy to pull off… and he does pull it off in this recording. I think what you’re struggling to say is: ‘I’d prefer something in a more romantic style, where the thematic development of material is enhanced by the colours available to the organists’.
I can not possibly comment as to the impact of this improvisation on the clergy.
@@peterbrand7131 I think what he's trying to say is that he's no fun at parties.
this sounds this as water and badly voiced. no comparison to any theatre pipe organ or the midmer losh organ in the boardwalk hall atlantic city.people who say this organ sounds great dont have any clue how a great organ sounds like
Thank you for your feedback. I respectfully disagree with you.
Keep in mind this is probably recorded on a smartphone with a single omnidirectional microphone the size of the head of a pin, and optimized for the human voice. This doesn't come close to showing us what it truly sounded like in that room.
Ignorance is bliss
Atlantic City???...so opines a New Jersey mook!!!
😊 THE One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church.
