Depuis que j'ai entendu Martin Baker interpréter à sa façon son Te Deum Alternatim, réécouté mainte fois comme également celui de Pirerre Cochereau à ND de Paris, j'aime beaucoup ce que fait Martin Baker, son talent pour faire sonner ces grandes orgues aux basses profondes (bombarde, contrebombarde) , sa manière d'accompagner ces grands hymnes grégoriens traditionnels, ses choix harmoniques parfois osés mais qui "retombent sur leurs pieds" impeccablement au moment de conclure. Merci beaucoup, Martin, vous avez beaucoup de talents !
Most interesting. Whether it's the recording or UA-cam compression I'm not sure, but this just does not do justice to the jaw-dropping, earth-shattering violence of the Willis III's tutti nor the vast, searing brilliance of the choruses. It isn't my favourite organ in the world but it's certainly one of the most memorable. I can say of the choir only that it is living up, as ever, to its unrivalled reputation. Small wonder Martin Baker has been making such frequent visits to the Vatican...
This is, I think, the most spiritual and CHRISTIAN space in London and - though an Anglican - I have loved it since 'discovering' it during the 1960s, when I would ascend the campanile, unaccompanied, on one of my few trips to London. I hope this gorgeous cathedral is well-protected in the light of the, possible, arson at Notre Dame de Paris. As for the 'royal peculiar' down the road at Westminster, peculiar is the right word! It is about as spiritual and CHRISTIAN as a public lavatory! It should be de-consecrated, and left to the tourists!
Mark Dyer “In condemning us, you condemn all your own ancestors, all our ancient bishops and kings, all that was once the glory of England; the island of saints, and the most devoted child of the See of Peter. For what have we taught, however you may qualify it with the odious name of treason, that they did not uniformly teach? To be condemned with these lights-not of England only, but of the world-by their degenerate descendants, is both a gladness and glory to us. God lives; posterity will live; their judgement is not so liable to corruption as that of those who are now going to sentence us to death.” Saint Edmund Campion, S.J. 1581
Nôtre Dame fire was electrical, not arson. You're also talking utter bollocks about the Abbey, it has ten times the spiritual atmosphere that the Drome has.
Agreed on the Abbey. It is aesthetically beautiful. Evensong brings out the best in it. And of course it houses the relics of St Edward. That said, even as an Anglican I always thought it was our equivalent to the Temple of Mars Ultor in ancient Rome - and that perspective has only intensified since leaving the schism

Prima Baker, Improvisatorisch gehört er zu den Großen unserer Zeit!

Take THAT.... Westminster Abbey!
A piece that fills me with awe, tremendous
Perfection.

very profound sensation
thank you Martin Baker and Theodopolis
Very carillon-like! I like.
