- François-Joseph Fétis (25 March 1784 -- 26 March 1871) was a Belgian musicologist, composer, critic and teacher. He was one of the most influential music critics of the 19th century, and his enormous compilation of biographical data in the Biographie universelle des musiciens remains an important source of information today.
Work: Fantaisie Symphonique for organ and orchestra
Organ: Anne Froidebise
Orchestra: Orchestre Symphonique de la RTBF
Conductor: Brian Priestman
Where has this piece been all my life?
Thanks for this! A travesty that no one ever stages his operas.
Une autre belle composition puissant et dramatique, et écrit par un autre compositeur que je ne connaissait pas.
what a fantastic piece by Fetis.....
I'd never heard of Fétis until recently. UA-cam offered me this video at random. I'm listening to it because I'm writing the Wikipedia biography of a Belgian composer, which will use his _Biographie Universelle des Musiciens et Bibliographie Générale de la Musique_ as one of the sources.
I never heard of Fétis before, but this piece ranks right up there with the great 19th century French organists like Guilmant, Widor, Vierne, Franck, etc.
He composed a flute concerto in Bm a few years before his death, it was composed for the new Boehm flute (the modern flute).
Brian Prietman is the best conductor y have ever seen...
This is just great
Una verdadera fantasía sinfónica...
Ci sono interruzioni sulla lettura all'inizio. Peccato il pezzo è molto gradevole!
nice performance. where is it been recorded?
What's the name of the painting by Rubens? The music reminds me of Saint-Säens' Symphonie nr.3.
The Fetis dates from 1866, the Saint-Saëns from 1886, though Liszt's "Battle of the Huns/Hunnenschlacht" precedes them all in 1857.
On comprend qu'il ait pu être jaloux de Berlioz.
Saint-Saens ripped this off!!!! It's where he got his "Organ Symphony" from!! That jerk....
This is a better piece.
Not even a little ! Both pieces are for for organ and orchestra and the begining of the Final of Saint-Saëns' Organ Symphony sounds a bit like the very begining of this piece, but appart from that, they are completely different.
To the point that if you cut the very begining of this Fantaisie, it actually shares very few in common with Saint-Saëns' symphony.
