I absolutely adore the way that mr Conte 'translates' this piece to the Wanamaker organ, he's getting the most from the piece as well from the instrument he's playing. A sign of great musicianship and as far as I'm concerned much more important than pure virtuosity.
I had finished recording up on the women's underwear floor and went down for the final number. I happened to just stand near the glass display behind the big eagle. Peter was not on the console that the time. So I walked near this guy standing at the segway between the big chamber and another promenade. It was Mr. Conte himself. And he saw my recording equipment and we talked briefly about the organ. He was very cordial to me as I'm sure someone gets tired of the same shtick through time. He did not come off that way to me. He seemed to delight in talking to one more stranger. I thanked him for his time and I went to the Starbucks to buy a $5 10 cent tea.
@lbphilly Ressurection is the final part of the Symphonie Passion (the first is Le monde dans l'attend du Sauveur, the second is Nativité, the third is Crucifiction), and was played as an improvisation for the first time by Dupré himself on this very instrument. Regarding the result he was surely deeply impressed by the tonal resources of this monumental instrument.
I love it. I truely love it. Da capo, Mr. Conte! ❤️
Agreed, it's "Cortège et Litanie" (opus 19 No.2). I wish they played that sort of thing at our local department store.

Beautiful piece and very stirring as it builds. Great to hear the organ without all the celestes turned on, playing it classically.
Just wonderfull !! Thank you !
All of the pieces performed during this concert are on CD....its called "The Wanamaker Legacy" with Peter Conte performing the same arrangements

Right. It's absolutely Cortege et Litanie. My mistake -- I must have misread the program and misplaced my brain. I will correct the title and caption.
I have no clue -- the program said Resurrection.
Actually it's the Cortège et Litanies, op.19
bello, darrei la vità, per improvisare- compore- suonare, come lei!?
