What a perfect venue for this piece. Vincent really gets what this piece is all about, i.e., transcendental/mystical - note his expressions; he was carried away into another world. Franck reached to heaven when he composed this . It should be played more often.
Bravo! I wish I could have been there. Vincent plays with fluent grace, ease and authority. This is a gorgeous organ; I close my eyes and hear sounds reminiscent of the great Jeanne Demessieux playing Franck on the Cavaille-Coll at the Madeleine in Paris. Thanks for a wonderful set of postings.
From the opening Pedal to the final chord - Powerful, awesome, the building, The organ and that amazing fellow who makes it all work so well. Magnificent, inspirational.
Prachtig eerbetoon aan de grote meester César Franck. Deze bescheiden en geliefde componist en organist van de Ste Clothilde zal/zou hiermee erg blij zijn, dat weet ik absoluut zeker! En natuurlijk ook mijn complimenten voor Vincent Dubois die dit toch maar weer even doet. Geweldig!
Splendida esecuzione, finalmente un organista che suona con slancio l'incipit di questo brano purtroppo penalizzato da letture troppo misurate. Mi ricorda l'insuperabile esecuzione di Jeanne Demessieux!!!!
And Sonata-Allegro form, too, complete with surprise modulations at: (1) the recapitulation with D7/C unusually resolving to Bb Major at 7:12 - 7:17 and (2) the return of the second theme stated first in the key of Bb Major and then secondly in the temporary key of D Major starting at 7:45.
Wunderbare Interpretation dieses Werkes! Ich mag Franck und dieser Organist versteht es, auszudrücken was auch ich in Franck's Kompositionen selbst beim Ansehen der Noten schon empfunden habe .... Einen herzlichen Dank dafür, dass sowas allen zugänglich gemacht ist!
Je ne suis pas croyant,j'ai renié mon baptême auprès de l'archevêché de Paris Mais devant les Musiques d'église Et deva t ces mêmes églises,basilique, cathédrales je ressent une émotion tant sonore que visuelle
Glad I found this video. I heard this many years ago and it has haunted me ever since. It has a full range of emotions, ending up with my face in full sun. Wonderful job and best wishes to you.
The most impressive version of this I've found on UA-cam. I'm not a big Franck fan because I usually find his music ponderous mostly because it lacks light and dark contrasts. However, this interpretation of this finale gives this piece such a radiant lightness that its expansiveness makes up for the lack of mood changes.
It would appear Franck utilized modulations as his way of expressing different moods. He perceived the contrast between 'light' and 'dark' as residing in the color of particular keys. When he wanted to go 'light' he would often repeat a theme by modulating to a sharper key and restating it, which he does several times here in the Final.
@@johanbrand8601 Apparently you can't read because it says that "this finale gives this piece such a radiant lightness". Does that sound like an insult to you or a criticism? Also, I guess you can't figure out another simple fact i.e., that even if a person generally doesn't like a composer there are individual pieces that they do like. For example, I'm not a Tchaikovsky fan but I do love the Little Russian Symphony. Idiot???? Look in the mirror.
esecuzione molto virtuosistica e brillante, .. forse anche troppo per la musica di Franck, che notoriamente non era un virtuoso dello strumento, e che molti interpreti eseguono in maniera più compassata. E' davvero questione di gusti e di interpretazione. Comunque è innegabile che Dubois sia un talento straordinario, suona con una facilità ed una sicurezza disarmante, tutto scorre come bere un bicchier d'acqua. Mi ricorda molto Olivier Latry, altro talento smisurato che fa sembrare ogni esecuzione, rigorosamente a memoria, come una sciocchezza. Non per niente adesso i due sono co-titolari a Notre Dame ( anche se la registrazione di Dubois è di molti anni fa). Si tratta di due organisti al top assoluto dell'organistica mondiale. Esecuzione comunque straordinaria, non ci sono dubbi, .. non c'è altro da fare che ammirare.
I really wonder if it is possible to find a better, or even an equal performance of this wonderful (but too few known) piece ?? I am trying to learn it, but I'll never reach that ! This performance, is my ultimate reference !
Splendid !!! Wow, Shit. Vincent. OK. Remember this is being transmitted via UA-cam. Sound sounding around the world. Nothing can really equal being in the 'room', Or in the cathedral. Well, god knows your at the top of the "authorities" . So....... Vincent. "please, can i have some more?" Bless your heart and your students and all you love, ANd.......your compositions. Can't wait to hear your works. Please. !!!! CVD
Have you forgotten ? Listen... how to listen ........................ to the silences. ( ) . You are in control of both the notes and the silences...... Right ? Get off the bench. Go down into the naive. Listen. Thank me later. Moi
Karl Richter organista non mi risulta abbia mai suonato musica di Frank; tuttavia l'esecuzione di Dubois è troppo veloce ( quando deve sottolineare la musicalità del brano deve rallentare),non si può gustare l'ascolto .Grande bravura esecutiva ma non tutto è toccata di Prokofiev.
A more spectacular performance of this piece or any piece by Franck is hard to imagine. BRAVISSIMO.
ANY piece by Franck is fabulous!!
@@mccxcccx7793 I agree, but this performance is really wonderful !!
This is magical and performed by a Master at Work.
Mesmerising! Vincent Dubois is a wonderful organist!

Exactly dear man ...but this young chap keeps the legacy ALIVE .. And How!
My fav Franck piece, runs the gamut of human emotion, you get a sense of his connection to the universe listening to this
Absolutely!

Vincent Dubois: merci bien!!
Cést formidable avec beaucoup de sentiment.
Few would dare take such a leisurely pace, as Vincent has tastefully done, in the quiet middle section.

A magnificent account of Franck's sublime contrapuntal masterpiece!

Very fine performance!
Finalmente uno che capisce Franck!
Glad I found this video. I heard this many years ago and it has haunted me ever since. It has a full range of emotions, ending up with my face in full sun. Wonderful job and best wishes to you.
Brilliant!
Un génie, que dire de plus. 😌 C'est Vincent Dubois.
Brilliant playing. Merci, Vincent.
Magnifique, merci bien Vincent

Stupenda!!!! Grande 🙌
Brilliant rendition. The organ is a natural extension to his arms. Is he related to his namesake I wonder?
Splendid
impresionante!!!!!
Rarely played !
Very good performance !
excellent !!

Check Mark Laubach's performance.
Quite Heavenly too!
Man would have been so great to hear you in person. Do you ever tour in the USA?
Splendid !!! Wow, Shit.

If he went into the nave, he wouldn't be playing anymore.
Why do you play everything so fast. Make them listen.... please. Dear Vincent... !
Compared to the the Demessieux performance everybody raves about, this is slow. But it's an excellent tempo.
@@BarryJordan57 I agree, this tempo is perfect, fast, but not rushing at all.
