2:30 is a very magical sound unique to Notre Dame. On the recit manual, he uses not only the Gambe and Voix Celeste, but also the Flute Traversiere and the Bourdon Celeste, and perhaps the Diapason 8 in addition. I've heard this used whenever passages call for the Recit voix celestes in other recordings and videos.
This is like a dream. It is as if the great fire never happened. We all look forward to when the organ comes alive again, for the glorious rededication of this quintessential Gothic cathedral. Notre Dame may be in Paris but it belongs to the world.
When the late Ken Starr said many years ago that Yves Castagnet had no equal in sheer musicianship, he definitely spoke the truth. Brilliant; a technique somewhere between Heaven and Earth.
Following the devastating fire, here are some words for the fugue’s theme: “It’s still with us, it’s still with us, thank God the organ’s still with us, it’s one of kind and it did not burn, and some years from now will again return!”
Excellent. I was relieved see news reports that the Mayor of Paris has said that the organ has survived the terrible fire and hopefully can eventually be restored to play again.
This op.7 series of videos is incredible, that I knew already 2 years ago when they were released, but I keep coming back to listen and each time I'm even more astonished with the detail and devotion in these, its seriously outstanding!
This organ went through a lot, it literally survived at over 300yrs, this is God’s instrument people. God will rebuild his church and bring back the king of music.✝️🌹🙏.
Unfortunately...we will not hear this magnificent instrument for many year to come. Sad to say. What a soul searching sound. We, in America, are so sad for this tragedy. Like the Phoenix..I hope Notre Dame will rise from her ashes to become the great icon of Paris she has been for so many centuries.
I keep coming back and have watched this scores of times… The most extraordinary organ performance of all time! I only hope to be able to see and hear this live in the years to come after the reopening of Notre Dame!
Thank you very much for posting this video. Excellent performed on a beautiful organ. Very good video and sound as well (as usual from P-F DA). In the Netherlands we are proud of our organs and organists, but the French repertoire and organists are appreciated very much.
Brilliant and so nice to see someone who looks like they might be the cleaner and has hands which look and move like they are more used to bricklaying - showing us all that appearances can be so deceptive - shame on me. There are videos of Percy Grainger playing with a similar unorthodox hand technique. Please post more.
This is a magnificent performance by a master organist and musician. I have never heard or seen him before. I want to hear him again as much as possible. Excellent video. Thank you.
Quand le monde fléchit autour de soi, quand les structures d’une civilisation vacillent, il est bon de revenir à ce qui, dans l’histoire, ne fléchit pas, mais au contraire redresse le courage, rassemble les séparés, pacifie sans meurtrir. Il est bon de rappeler que le génie de la création est lui aussi, à l’œuvre dans une histoire vouée à la destruction
Tout est superbe. Bravo à ce duo (trio si on compte l'instrument) : interprétation totalement convaincante, et captation remarquable. Tout est lisible et clair. A quand une suite ?
A la mémoire de pierre Cochereau qui a fait refaire la console " à l' Américaine " avec un combinateur numérique et interface MIDI( emplacement prévu et pré-cablé, mais MIDI non activé, par SYNAPTEL )
Perfect multi-camera recording! I’m counting 5, perhaps 6 PTZ cameras. Also footwork gets the attention it deserves. This is the gold standard for organ recordings. Well done!
Excellent comme d'hab ! Bravo. Il faut surtout écouter sa version de la Symphonie Passion de DUPRE Dommage qu'il n'y ait pas de version filmée comme c'est le cas ici. Bravo aussi à Pierre-François Dub-Attenti pour la qualité des images et du son.
Conosco bene questo preludio e fuga in solm. Però eseguirlo a memoria diventa più facile. Bravo a Dupre' ed a Yves. A quando ascolteremo le Variations sur un Noel?
Does anyone know where this console is mounted? Notre Dame de Paris has no Choir Screen (as do English Cathedrals), and yet it seems to look down into the Choir from somewhere.
Richard Rey-Grange ils auraient dû installer une console dans le style Cavaillé-Coll avec une traction mécanique des claviers et électrique des jeux en gardant la composition actuelle. Ça aurait été mieux.
Quand on voit l'acrobatie à laquelle doivent se livrer les deux assistants 'obligatoires' à la console du ACC de St Sulpice, non merci ! Cette nouvelle console de ND est parfaite. L'ancienne console ACC de ND (retirée dans les années 1950) avec tirages de jeux en "amphithéâtre" était on ne peut plus anti-ergonomique. Erreur commise d'ailleurs avec la nouvelle console de St-Eustache : rien de plus malaisé que de tirer un pommeau de registre placé à distance d'un "cou de girafe"… Dans une console idéale tout doit être à portée de main et sans effort, on appelle ça l'ergonomie. Et penser aussi aux organistes qui font moins d'1,80m !
fortunately this magnificent organ was not destroyed during the fire last night.
Watched this for many, many times. This guy is a genius

Actually, the organ has been in continuos use since shortly after the fire, having sustained negligible damage.
Wonder how the sound will change if the acoustics of the church itself change significantly?
Beautifully controlled and relaxed playing, merci M. Castagnet.
All over the world, our thoughts are with you on this dark night.
One day, we will hear this organ again.
The clarity of line is excellent.
When the late Ken Starr said many years ago that Yves Castagnet had no equal in sheer musicianship, he definitely spoke the truth. Brilliant; a technique somewhere between Heaven and Earth.
I've heard him improvise during religious ceremonies, it is really amazing how he makes everything sound flawless and sublime.
@@LuisGonzalez-pw6jy He's quite alive in the music.
Following the devastating fire, here are some words for the fugue’s theme: “It’s still with us, it’s still with us, thank God the organ’s still with us, it’s one of kind and it did not burn, and some years from now will again return!”
lol haha
Organ was alright then? I'm glad for that!
These extremely precise movements and especially his pedal technique leaves me stunned and amazed. *Excellent* performance!
Excellent. I was relieved see news reports that the Mayor of Paris has said that the organ has survived the terrible fire and hopefully can eventually be restored to play again.
that swag cancelling of the organ at the last second of the video - SWAG MONEYY
like a boss!
How beautiful! So very glad this magnificent organ survived the fire.
A true miracle
But still such excellent control of motion! Wow!! You light is also diffuse

All things will be made new again.
Just look at Yves - his face gives nothing away during this, or any other, performance; it ALL goes in to the music...the way it should be (IMHO).
Brilliant!
Un merveilleux compositeur servi par un merveilleux interprête ! Merci Mr Castagnet que du bonheur !
Unfortunately...we will not hear this magnificent instrument for many year to come. Sad to say. What a soul searching sound. We, in America, are so sad for this tragedy.

Thank you. Regards.
Really good ! High technique, and perfect control, with a reasonnable tempo.
I love Dupré's works !
Dupré would be in love!! Tres magnifique!!
And Yves is not only a great organist, but also a great composer; listen to his works for choir here on TH-cam!
Pour moi le meilleur interprète de cette musique. Merci
Excellent it is amazing his hands move so much
A fine rendition of a timeless work from Dupre. This piece never ceases to evoke for me a rainy day in the city.
Nous sommes avec vous dans le douleur de ce jour. - Merci pour la production de ce video.
I love You. Tonalität und Rhythmus in Perfektion. Danke!!!!
Merci M. Castagnet. C'est toujours un plaisir de vous entendre et de vous voir.
Sensational
really great quality audio and excellent performance from mr castagenet. please upload more of these!
Stunning performance. What a musician. Respect 😘
amazing
Absolument magnifique... et spirituel, avec les deux autres Préludes et Fugues bien entendu autant.
I keep coming back and have watched this scores of times… The most extraordinary organ performance of all time! I only hope to be able to see and hear this live in the years to come after the reopening of Notre Dame!
Absoultmon Magnifique Merci beaucoup pour votre grande cœur et votre talent.
Tout est parfait ! Bravo 👍
Fascinating, BRAVO!
Une parfaite interpretation de cette oeuvre tres difficile .
Thank you! Great music, great performance!!!
Thank you very much for posting this video. Excellent performed on a beautiful organ. Very good video and sound as well (as usual from P-F DA). In the Netherlands we are proud of our organs and organists, but the French repertoire and organists are appreciated very much.
A brilliant performance with total aplomb -- and those shots of the manuals with just the key ends showing are really cool!
This is a wonderful recording, very enjoyable.

And that is how it's done...
It is a very sensitive performance!!
Beautiful articulations♥
Thank you Yves!!
This is a magnificent performance by a master organist and musician. I have never heard or seen him before. I want to hear him again as much as possible. Excellent video. Thank you.
Merci, Pierre-Francois. Once again another brilliant performance and superb video/audio and editing.
Grand Monsieur ! Merci pour cette pièce si bien écrite ... Dupré est heureux ! Merci Yves Castagnet

Du grand Dupré magnifiquement interprété ! Bravo !
Ein grandioses Stück auf einer großartigen Orgel, von einem hervorragenden Interpreten gespielt. 👋 👋 👋
Finally....the organ has returned to something more along the lines Cavaille-Coll intended.
Its literally the same
Great playing, and fine recording, thank you for posting
Superbe !!!
Tout est superbe. Bravo à ce duo (trio si on compte l'instrument) : interprétation totalement convaincante, et captation remarquable. Tout est lisible et clair. A quand une suite ?
Guillaume Deslandres o.
Magnifico órgano como tantos otros de fabrica francesa. Enhorabuena!
What an inspiring performance of a thrilling composition. Pure enjoyment!!
Superb, thank you so much.
Interprète, registre dans l’esprit de Dupré ! Félicitations !
A la mémoire de pierre Cochereau qui a fait refaire la console " à l' Américaine " avec un combinateur numérique et interface MIDI( emplacement prévu et pré-cablé, mais MIDI non activé, par SYNAPTEL )
Wonderful. Flawless and utterly musical playing
Quel talent !
Perfect multi-camera recording! I’m counting 5, perhaps 6 PTZ cameras. Also footwork gets the attention it deserves. This is the gold standard for organ recordings. Well done!
Interprétation magnifique!
That is good to hear!
Bravooo!!!! Merci.
He makes it look so easy, I tried playing this song once, everything hurt after about an hour of practice
Excellent comme d'hab ! Bravo. Il faut surtout écouter sa version de la Symphonie Passion de DUPRE Dommage qu'il n'y ait pas de version filmée comme c'est le cas ici. Bravo aussi à Pierre-François Dub-Attenti pour la qualité des images et du son.
Simply fantastic! big compliment
Conosco bene questo preludio e fuga in solm.
Però eseguirlo a memoria
diventa più facile. Bravo a Dupre' ed a Yves.
A quando ascolteremo le Variations sur un Noel?
These it's like the 542( fantasia and fuga of J.S.Bach) of France.
And these organ it' s like "the Napoleone Bonaparte".
One piece I always intended to learn, but AMajor stroke has paralysed myleft arm and hand, so I can no longer play at all
Genialer Organist!
Does anyone know where this console is mounted? Notre Dame de Paris has no Choir Screen (as do English Cathedrals), and yet it seems to look down into the Choir from somewhere.
It's right in front of the case
Is there any possibility of concertos nowadays after the fire?
How do you say "WOW" in French?!? :)
Just say BRAVO lol
Ouaou? Oh-là-là? Crotte alors? Saperlipopette ?
4:18
je préférais de loin l'ancienne console!
Richard Rey-Grange ils auraient dû installer une console dans le style Cavaillé-Coll avec une traction mécanique des claviers et électrique des jeux en gardant la composition actuelle. Ça aurait été mieux.
Quand on voit l'acrobatie à laquelle doivent se livrer les deux assistants 'obligatoires' à la console du ACC de St Sulpice, non merci ! Cette nouvelle console de ND est parfaite.

I hope Notre-Dame organ is safe....
Uhmmmm wow....??
It really doesn't sound like anything. Painful for your ears
