On the other hand there are quite a lot of blinkenlights for an instrument from 1885 🙂. Aristide Cavaillé-Coll refused all electric components in his work and preferred the Barker mechanism.
Superb performance! It is so good to know that I can relax and know that the style and technique is going to be flawless. You have a very special gift.
ARE YOU CLICKING THUMBS DOWN? If "yes", a simple request: We in this BiS community often see the occasional thumbs down and wonder why this is so. I'm sure it would help us all, and be of some critical value, if those who 'do a thumbs down' would tell us in the comments why you thought it deserved this moniker. We won't eat you, shout at you, but we will thank you for your honesty. We may even learn something useful too, which is one of this friendly and forgiving communities strong points. Thank you. T.
Trevor Orme The thumbs down are given by less talented Musicians that wish they were as talented as our Rich. This deserves a request and shout out in the next video!
Probably Allen sales reps whose products are unable to beat the sound this guy is making on a cheap used console and used laptop for a single-digit percentage of the cost.
@@benjaminslayton4335 I wouldn't say it was a "cheap" console. Relative to a new 30k one I guess it would be. Regards computers, a laptop would struggle to do anything. My PC is a core i5 6600k with 32GB RAM and this can run any organ with all options turned. I don't use surround as it's pointless.An exception would be the Melbourne town hall which needs 64GB RAM.
As often as I’ve listened to this work, this is the first time I’ve been aware of the clever pedal motif in the Menuet, thanks to your registration and pedal video! Excellent!
Just wonderful! An immersive performance - there are few who play the accoustic as well as you! My teacher used to say “you have to put your ears out on sticks” - so much to manage as an organist - the notes, the registration, and the accoustic! And you do it all!! (The Menuet is a perfect example - despite how a CC organ can at times be wonderfully ponderous, this just dances through the building - as it should!!) BRAVO!!
I really enjoy the variety of music that you play, and I re(watch) your videos all the time! You have inspired me to get a Hauptwerk organ at home. As a fellow organist, there’s one thing that I try to do in the pedals, and that is I “dig in deep” to the bottom of the board when there is a fast note (like sixteenths) so the pedal note can be heard in faster pedal passages. It’s very subtle, but I try to make sure that fast pedal notes are heard with just a tiny fraction of a second longer so that they can be present (such as the low quick “D” sixteenths in this piece in the pedal line... it’s hard to hear this note speak in this recording). Playing trackers for 15 years I have become more sensitive to this issue, especially when large heavy winded pipes are involved). Just a friendly suggestion... my comment is coming from a big fan of your work that you have posted on UA-cam over the years. I look forward to future videos and a sincere thank you for your dedication to this marvellous instrument!
Possibly the BEST performance I have ever heard of this well-known and much-played piece. The Caen Hauptwerk simply shines and bursts into life, singing through its pipes in exultant jubilation, like no other under your incredible playing skills and registration choices. Thank you Richard. Excellent. Tx
Find a copy of Odile Pierre's version of this masterpiece of organ literature. She plays the Cavaille-Coll organ in the La Madeleine Church in Paris. I have a LP that I bought over 40 years ago with Ms. Pierre at the manuals. The LP is from RCA France. The number is RL 37009. It may just change your mind about what this piece should really sound like...
Fabulous. The Toccata was amazing and at just the right pace.So often it is played far too fast.Well done an amazing performance as usual. Best wishes from the New Forest
5:00 Nice to hear the Flûte Harmonique from Cavaillé-Coll, I'll get soon the Hautpwerk soft, with the bank of this CC, and a 3 manuals MIDI organ, I am sooo impatient !!! I'll put the swell on the first keyboard, like usually in France. Jacques, from France.
Hi Richard. Love it. When I next relearn this on my Caen setup I will no doubt listen again to check out your registration. I particularly love the way you, in a way similar to me think, NA I'm not going to hold those top notes for their written length in the RH broken chord patterns when the last rendition of the iconic Hammer Horror pedal Melody thunders around the building seeking out all those tiny places in the church's acoustics where other parts can not reach.......... :) (an old Heineken advert)
my goodness. Nothing on planet earth will ever compare to the sound of a Cavaille-Coll. It is simply not possible. The reeds are just incredible. I really dislike a low pitched reed (16' or 32') that is just noise... there are a lot of those here in the US. Not so with Cavaille-Coll
This may be a very stupid question, but... are these pieces played on an actual organ or is this a set up of his emulating various organs?? I see the same manual and stop board on the videos and it was mentioned in one of him being surrounded by speakers and a question was posed about how much RAM was used in the set up of the sound.
Does somebody know how I can change the sampling rate of a sample set in hauptwerk? When you first load the set there is a screen asking for the sampling rate but I cant find it now..

Aristede Cavaille-Coll's insturments are still the measure of the organ repetoire. Thank you for your presentation. I love it!!!!

Love this piece I remember as q toddler I would sit next to my grandpa and watching his feet dance to the base notes on the organ
Such incredible registration. This what suite gothigue such really sound like at it's best.
Brilliant ,exceptional. musicality. great thankhou so much for all you do for the King of all instruments.
WOW!!! Such a stunning piece of music. I also love the socks.
Enjoying your playing as ever Richard, I like the set up as is, without the stops showing!
Superb performance! It is so good to know that I can relax and know that the style and technique is going to be flawless. You have a very special gift.

I always find it odd that someone gives a thumbs down...to anything !
If you don't like it- move along I say !
Thumbs down are by the jealous type. Either jealous of his superb playing or his setup.

Again, the magnificant instrument remains silent w/out the master craftsman/musician to bring its sounds to life. Beautiful performance!

Absolutely magnificent Richard! great choice organ & stops - breathtaking expansiveness!
I love this piece, Richard, and you played it masterfully. Thank you.
Superb performance.Wonderful playing. Thank You

Great music! What can you tell us about the wine bottles? Surely some good French stuff? 🤪 🍷🍷🍷
A superb performance Richard 🎶🎶
Complimenti per l'esecuzione ...Grande la resa sonora con Hauptwerk.

Those Cavaille-Coll flutes and strings are a national treasure!!!!

Have you ever listened to Marie-Claire Alain's rendition?
I must agree, however, Richard plays it wonderfully! I love his channel!
Really lovely registration on this throughout!
Reminds me of Marie Claire Alain. Very similar registration and Rich feeling and expression!
It's also a great performance of page-turning during the Toccata :-)
Fabulous. The Toccata was amazing and at just the right pace.So often it is played far too fast.Well done an amazing performance as usual. Best wishes from the New Forest
Any French organ piece gets a thumbs up from me... #ViveLaFrance
Wonderful! I think I am coming to like the Toccata from this better than the famously well-known Widor Toccata.
Beautiful Thank you ! Love it !
Great job man. excited to hear more from you in the future! ALSO PLAY WIDOR TOCCATA please please.

This tops, the best. The gift of superior registration is given only a few. He has received it hands down. Thank you. Bruce beecroft
Smashing ........ really smashing!!!
I could listen to you all day playing this!
Brilliant! Inspirational.
Love the performance!
That was amazing!
Brilliant Richard - my favourite stuff !! - where is the real Cavie Coll pictured in alternate frames - I’m guessing it’s the real Caen one ?
Thanks Ollie. Yes, those pictures are of the real organ :)

Of all the extant Cavaille-Colle instruments my favorite has to be Caen.
Mine is Saint-Ouen in Rouen.
my goodness. Nothing on planet earth will ever compare to the sound of a Cavaille-Coll. It is simply not possible.
The reeds are just incredible. I really dislike a low pitched reed (16' or 32') that is just noise... there are a lot of those here in the US. Not so with Cavaille-Coll
After all - I m enjoying the socks . . . 😀😀😀
The intruduction-choral slightly seems to be a run, but it's just my point of view.
@Cromorno 8' Fair point Francesco, I'll be mindful to take it steadier next time.
This may be a very stupid question, but... are these pieces played on an actual organ or is this a set up of his emulating various organs??

Peoples music in 1910 solei deo gloria
Oh yeah! You need somebody to turn the pages for you. It's hard to play as it is.
