- Daniel Roth, Organist Titulaire of the Grandes Orgues of St. Sulpice, improvises on this instrument during a Sunday mass. Recorded by Tony Valillo in 1999. FROM www.stsulpice.com. NOT TO BE COPIED WITHOUT PERMISSION.
One of the greatest musical geniuses of our time, I had the honor of watching him play up close like here some years ago,
Mesmerizing
daniel is amazing he is one of the greater organist of our time
Merci Aristid, merci Daniel.......beautiful
Wow!
This was absolutely... well, you can't really describe it!
One day I'll be there to watch him, I'm sure!
Magnificent. Incredible. A great artist.
This video really does show how great Cavaille-Coll was as an organ builder in faith of his design and materials used, by the way Mr. Roth gives the console a thorough thrashing.
Gene &Sue Rebeck had the wonderful experience of being up in organ loft at St Sulpice!!!
@polsterj I'm still not totally convinced since the pedal is moving quickly, but perhaps its a trick of poor recording and it hiding in the Jeux de combinaision and not drawn with the rest. Clearly the 32' Principal is drawn. Having heard numerous recordings it is not a coy or reticent stop even with anches coupled. We could argue it forever but why bother, its still a magnificent instrument played by a magnificent organist.
And I'll say it again, the 32' bombarde is used! It's the only stop that can make a sound of a 32' reed!
Listen to the pedal solo parts, then you'll hear. Also note that the Sulpice Contre-Bombarde is so loud like in Rouen or Sacre-Choeur!
I think it's the Contre-Bombarde. On the Improvisation of Choplin which I have posted, you can hear a similar sound. It also sounds like a Thunder there!
Love the orchestrated dim starting at 5:25
Please try it at an antiquarian bookseller. The correct title of the book is: «Liber usualis».
I have to chuckle to myself, as a friend of an organbuilder, I know how much repair that poor century year old tracker organ must need after a good playing like this,.
NOtice that the Contre Bombard 32' knob is never pulled during all the impro.
the 32' bombard is the 3rd stop (middle) at the left bottom row of the console stops (the PDF spec for the organ at st sulpice website) .and it's never pulled. But the 32' principal which is in the same row, its the one the closest to the 1st manual , thius 32' principal is indeed pulled.
Coclusion the Thunder like sound at 5:00 is not the 32' bombard. ANY REPLY?
@praestant8 And I'll say it another time, it is used.
At 5:00 you can hear this thunder, wich is the low Cis of the contre-bombarde, and I have already been there, I've already heard it.
And I have to correct a mistake: The The St Sulpice 32 Bombarde is NOT as strong as on other Cavaillé-Colls, it doesn't really roar (only at Cis)
And please keep that stupid comments about age for you, that's mostly unimportant.
@polsterj the 32' bombard Knob is not pulled , if you do not pull first a stop on this organ the stop won't soud , after pulling a stop you can then activate it or not with the pedal reeds. The pedal solo sounds strong indeed , but if you pull 32' principal and 16' reeds (bombarde 16' bassoon 16' etc..) and some tirces you may create this effect.
Not true on this organ. It has a device which can freeze the registration, allowing registrants to make changes without worrying that it will change the sounds too early. Mr Roth could have employed that device in this video.
Daniel has used it. You can make a registration and pull the „combinasion“ stops which freezes the current registration. When you push the combinasion stops in you can make a new registration which only becomes active when you pull the combinasion stops. So you can make new registarions but play with the old one. When you watch Daniel he pulls the combinasion stops at 5:49 which activates the registration he prepeared earlier. So he propably made a tutti registration wirh the Bombarde 32 pulled the combinasion stops and made a new registration which he activates at 5:49.

Hello from the Past ! Where were you all these 13 years! We already left this Planet in the spaceship to other planets !
And last ; Mr. Daniel Roth HAS RETIRED from Saint Sulpice on Feb. 2023 to be Organist EMERITUS !
GREETINGS
(THE 32' BOMBARD IS INDEED USED , the Thunder like sound; 13 years ago I only had this low quality video as a source of audi video doc. of this organ, things now HAS EVOLVED A LOT, and now this Organ is no Mystery at all !)
This is amazing. Where can I find the sheet music for it?
Daniel Roth's head...
@nizaru100 Nope, no 32' Bomb. Just lots of big chords with low pitched reeds, and probably the Gross tierces/nazards to add further wieght.
I 'love' Daniel Roth's O Lamm Gottes- Bach, where he shows us his really deep musicianship and spirituality. This type of improvisation, for all its obvious virtuosity however, seems to me a much less chalenging medium for him, one lacking any real musical or spiritual significance. To be honest, this is simply a kind of fantasy cinema music for use in a church, where tone deaf bishops and priests routinely enjoy such orgiastic vibrations as a kind of backdrop to their own fantasie liturgique'.
@nizaru100 Ah, i dont think that you can say this so! In the Christian Church the Organ has its status same like other important things, we can say, it is needed for church.
Do you know what he tirassès make? Maybe they are a kind of tutti-bottom? That would explain the problem!
The tirasses are the pedal couplers. On this organ there is a tirasse for the Recit, the Grand Orgue and the Grand Choer which pulls the tirasse to every manual which is coupled on the Grand Choer (I. Manual)
@polsterj Nope, your ears and youthful desire deceive you. Certainly it would have been to great musical effect at the climax, but he didn't. The world will not end.
pull out more stops out and couple more make it louder lol. and add the 32" bombarg. lol
voices from another world that should stay there...because organists cannot improvise in more than 2 flats and make harmonic sense...oui? Nez pas?
