- The Prelude and Fugue in G Minor op. 7 no. 3 by Marcel Dupré, played by Yves Castagnet on the organ of Notre-Dame de Paris.
Prelude - 0:00
Fugue - 4:09
Marcel Dupré was one of the most important organists of the 20th century. He taught many famous organists including Jehan and Marie-Claire Alain, Jean Langlais and Olivier Messiaen, and his technique of absolute legato has become the default touch for French organ music.
This prelude and fugue, the final one of the set, forms a clear finale to the opus. The prelude combines the virtuosity of the B major prelude and the delicateness of the F minor prelude, all while adding in innovations of its own such as the quadruple pedaling at 2:21. The fugue continues this virtuosity, building to a spectacular climax that exploits the full power of the Cavaillé-Coll organ.
Many years ago Roland Facinelli told me that this Fugue was an improvisation that Dupré wrote down. He was a genius.
Interesting point, indeed! Makes sense, considering that there are films that show him improvise double fugues on spot. And this is essentially the same technique you need for making a cantus firmus-based piece like this. Still an insane and almost inhuman level of counterpoint skill, especially because it is integrated in such a personal and recognizable style of harmony.
Yeah... that fugue ending is pretty epic.
A musical miracle !
Magical, simply magical

amazing piece
Rumor has it that Dupre wrote the prelude as a kind of friendly "I can do better than that!" showing off to his tutor, Widor, after hearing Widor's Symphony #5 Toccata.
You’re a wizard Harry (Hagrid voice). Well played!
Wow! You're right 🧙 I couldn't understand this piece. But suddenly with that image on my head everything makes sense.... Weird 😅
M. Castagnet est un de mes organistes préférés qui enregistre trop peu à mon goût. Chez Dupré, il est remarquable. On le sent inspiré, investi. Bref, j'aime.
Impressive
Scintillating
