The 34 dislikes are just beyond my capability of understanding. This performance, on this very organ, is pure gold from the first note to the last. I wish I could click "like" a dozen times.
What a superb rendition of the wonderful piece - one of the greats of 20th century repertoire. The effortless manner which Vincent Warnier displays is a lesson to any student of the organ. I was fortunate to lure M Daniel Roth to give a recital on the lovely 1905 Hill in All Saints Hove many years ago whilst organist there, and he played in the same manner. A very different organ, yet a serene and wonder manner of playing. So thank you, M. Warnier, and so too Pierre-Francois Dub-Attenti for your excellent recording (and registering!) skills.
The finest organ work of the 20th century performed on the greatest of instruments. And yes M. Roth is a truly great person, a man happy to assist in any way in the creation of wonderful music
They keep talking during the performance! That's a level of proficiency and mastership I cannot imagine. Duruflé is great, this piece is a marvel, the organ, too. And this performance is beyond imaginable. Thank you so much for posting!
Bravo, M . Warnier has the privledge of being the organist at St-Etienne-du-Mont where Durufle was organist. I've heard this work on so many different organs I even heard Mme Durufle play it in New York when she was in her 80's, but this organ is perfect for Durufle's works.
In the glittering pantheon of French organ music,this piece is,to my mind,it's crowning glory. And on this organ of all organs.... Many thanks for uploading this stellar performance by Vincent Warnier.
En dépit de sa diversité stylistique, Duruflé était avant tout un compositeur d'esthétique expressionniste, toujours proche du drame, de la profondeur, de l'angoisse et la vision profonde et tourmentée de la vie qui semble émaner de la métaphysique de l'homme comme de sa même nature profonde.
C'est toujours un vrai plaisir d'entendre cette pièce, admirablement bien jouée et d'une construction parfaite ! Les strettes à la fin sont vraiment remarquables !
PFDA, à voir les commentaires, vous avez un fan's club britannique ! misérable français, j'apprécie beaucoup cet hommage de Vincent Warnier, au GO de St Sulpice, pour cet composition de M Duruflé dédiée à un grand musicien disparu prématurément. Tout cela est magnifique, une symbiose entre facteur de cet orgue monumental , ce compositeur, cet autre composteur organiste de St Etienne du Mont, et V Wanier entouré de Daniel Roth. Symbiose et respect ! Merci...
I still cannot get over the extended silence at the end. I would have stood up clapping and shouting after this performance, no matter how distasteful I appeared!
This is wonderful playing and full of nuance, subtle expression and extremely sensitive phrasing on the glory of the Cavaille-Coll at Saint Sulpice; the negative statements are due to poison and total jealousy. If these 'types' could only play even half as well as this brilliant concert organist!
I love French romantic music played on a very French romantic Cavaille-Coll! Wow! 5 manuals coupled! Barker levers would help of course! Just magnificent!
What a magnificent, loving tribute of Jehan Alain by *Maurice Duruflé*. How wonderful that he made A-L-A-I-N into fugue subject so melodic and tender and beautiful and optimistic. Wonderful performance by *Vincent Warnier*! Thank you, Pierre-Francois for sharing this. 7:00 Fugue.
The performances by Lisa Hummel and Thomas Ospital both on YT are well worth a listen and they don't suffer from the distracting noises-off that affect this recording. I know Ms Hummel is playing a Hauptwerk instrument but it's a good one and her musicianship and virtuosity are stunning.
@@davebarclay4429 I fully agree with you about Lisa Hummel's rendition, I may have posted the same comment elsewhere. I know that performance well and I saved it in HD. I think I even congratulated her via email. She was really on top of it. It's a shame there aren't much recordings of her out there.
I listened to this performance for the first time having had the fugue singing through my mind all week. A wonderful performance considering it is an extremely difficult work.

This video will persist as a milestone performance of organ music in Paris. Thanks to PFDA for catching these 12 minutes and 41 seconds of pure beauty. 10:40 is my favorite moment when everything dissolves into the theme..❤Merci Vincent, I've watched this a hundred times and can't get enough...
The Prelude and Fugue were among the first organ pieces from the French Romantic period I ever heard. Such emotion poured into the composition by Durufle in memory of his good friend, Jehan Alain. Absolutely wonderful.
Probably my favourite organ work not composed by Bach. Thanks for posting this stunning performance. It must be great to have Daniel Roth at your side!
Excellent playing. Loved hearing your performance on this instrument. Very good command of the piece, while everybody so busy there on the console, too. I also appreciate the videograohy.
Mon Dieu! @PierreFrancoisDUBATTENTI Me revoilà! Je suis assez accro au son de la musique du professeur Duruflé ! Greetings from beautiful Lake Ontario, northern New York!
The Prelude is interesting and enjoyable, but has never done too much for me--but the Fugue lit me up inside the first time I ever heard it. It's an amazing piece of music that is positively addictive and thrilling! I love this video, too: especially the sense of sense of teamwork and activity and concentration in the console. ;-D
Bravo! It's a little known fact that Cavaillé-Coll throughout his life was in search of a single knob for the organ that would go all the way to "11". Although this instrument is the greatest in all France and perhaps his greatest achievement, the technology did not exist at the time, so actually configuring the Saint Sulpice organ to "11" for the end of this work requires an assistant to manipulate the controls. Many organists still prefer the original, discrete controls to the single knob that goes to "11".
Thanks so much for this video, i saw the other one with all the organists... I am really happy with the complete piece. Please, could you upload the other pieces?
All I can s that Daniel Roth is ne of the greatest figures in the history of instrument.Very kind and supportive to l musicians an angelic and and person, along with being a fabulous musician.
There's only one thing missing here, I would loved to have seen the pedal at the end it's mind blowing to listen to, M. Warnier makes it look so easy, it's anything but.
Since this performance things have changed I was at Warnier's recital on the 30th April it was magnificent these TH-cam videos are wonderful,tbut there's nothing like the real performance, big screen and loads of views of the pedal. I didn't want to leave. Thank you.
Does anyone know the secret of playing RH two measures, starting at 4:33? The fingering begins: 1 2 1 3 4 ? Can't tell after that. SO PERFECT, SO BEAUTIFUL!
The Durufles would be very happy about this collaboration of organ and music. They were not big fans the CC sound. Much more so into the classic voicing. Mr. Wanrier does a splendid job here.
I have listened to this particular performance about 1,000 times. (Not to mention the other performers past ;) Is there something wrong with me? There are a handful of other organ compositions I could listen to ad infinitum.
I reassure you, you are normal ! lol It is only the 100th time that I listen to this work... This wonderful Fugue assuages the mind, gives hope in life, like other Bach's works. I play organ, and I listen often to organ works too, I need music to support life and finally to love it.
With that organ, I've noticed virtually every organist hesitates before they start a piece on it... it's like "Okay I'm starting now-- oh wait I gotta make sure I didn't forget to register it-- wait is that coupler on?-- wait... Hail Mary, full of grace... OK I'm ready." .... "OK I'm really ready now." ..... "Ah, what the hell."
Who IS doing all that clanking?! I could be misinterpreting, but Mr Warnier does seem a little disturbed by it at times. Wonderful performance of one of the high points of the organ literature.
Can someone explain why there was no applause after the finish? People don't clap in France? You'll never hear a better performance of the piece than this one.
Yes, a perfect performance, good tempi too, not too fast. Like everywhere, people clap in a concert in France in a church. I ignore why there are no applause this time, there must be a reason (maybe that was for a special commemoration ?). Vincent Warnier was Daniel Roth pupil, he's the organist of Saint-Étienne-du-Mont, in Paris, the Duruflé organ. Jacques, from France.
This is the definitive performance of this work.
It is extraordinary how lyrical and melodic the fugue writing is. Every time I hear it I find my self singing along with it.
The fugue forces me right out of my seat . . . never tire of hearing it. Truly the most complimentary tribute piece ever written!
No histrionics, just music. I love this man's playing.
The 34 dislikes are just beyond my capability of understanding. This performance, on this very organ, is pure gold from the first note to the last. I wish I could click "like" a dozen times.
Agreed
M. Warnier's face at the end is a picture. A big sigh of relief after a monumental and testing piece. Superb.
Pierre-Francois' face throughout this is pretty much my mood for all of life.
What a superb rendition of the wonderful piece - one of the greats of 20th century repertoire. The effortless manner which Vincent Warnier displays is a lesson to any student of the organ. I was fortunate to lure M Daniel Roth to give a recital on the lovely 1905 Hill in All Saints Hove many years ago whilst organist there, and he played in the same manner. A very different organ, yet a serene and wonder manner of playing. So thank you, M. Warnier, and so too Pierre-Francois Dub-Attenti for your excellent recording (and registering!) skills.
I’ve listened to this over and over by Mons. Warnier--an extraordinary artist performing an extraordinary piece.
The finest organ work of the 20th century performed on the greatest of instruments. And yes M. Roth is a truly great person, a man happy to assist in any way in the creation of wonderful music
Perfect organ. Perfect interpretation
Bravo Monsieur Warnier! Cette oeuvre est magnifique et vous l'interprétez avec une rare sensibilité.
Well you can see why he got the job. Absolute perfection.
One of the greatest works for organ ever written, IMHO.
Agreed. A true masterpiece, and an amazing tribute to Jehan Alain.
Yes Sir! Incredibly beautiful and powerful, and painful and sweet...it has everything!
I agree with you.
As the truffle is the diamond of the French kitchen, so is Durufle the diamond of 20th century French organ composers.
Arguably THE greatest work for organ not composed by Bach.
They keep talking during the performance! That's a level of proficiency and mastership I cannot imagine. Duruflé is great, this piece is a marvel, the organ, too. And this performance is beyond imaginable. Thank you so much for posting!
Fantastique! quel son et quelle interprétation, mile mercis, je ne m'en lasse pas!..que vive l'orgue!
Perfect sound, perfect video, superb music, superb instrument, and superb performance. What else ?
Splendid! One of my favorite organ works of all time!
Bravo M! C'etait magnifique! Un mes pieces pour orgue preferes!
Bravo, M . Warnier has the privledge of being the organist at St-Etienne-du-Mont where Durufle was organist. I've heard this work on so many different organs I even heard Mme Durufle play it in New York when she was in her 80's, but this organ is perfect for Durufle's works.
Très très belle interprétation d’une absolument splendide oeuvre, merci !!!
In the glittering pantheon of French organ music,this piece is,to my mind,it's crowning glory. And on this organ of all organs....
Many thanks for uploading this stellar performance by Vincent Warnier.
That was a phenomenal performance. You are unbelievable Vincent! And may I say a very handsome man
Congratulations for this terrific performance! This piece leaves me speachless of emotion !
Depuis les Pays-Bas, un grand bravo et merci pour cette merveilleuse soirée.
Everything about this piece and performance sends me to the moon. The fugue litany is the most awe inspiring tribute ever written!
En dépit de sa diversité stylistique, Duruflé était avant tout un compositeur d'esthétique expressionniste, toujours proche du drame, de la profondeur, de l'angoisse et la vision profonde et tourmentée de la vie qui semble émaner de la métaphysique de l'homme comme de sa même nature profonde.
I LOVE HOW AT 11:20 all three people on the bench instinctively LEAN IN. LOVE THIS!
They might be pressing toe pistons (with their feet), not sure.
C'est toujours un vrai plaisir d'entendre cette pièce, admirablement bien jouée et d'une construction parfaite ! Les strettes à la fin sont vraiment remarquables !
Topissimes : L'oeuvre, l'interprète et l'instrument !
What a privilege to be able to see and hear this. Thank you for posting, it is magnificent.

Absolutely wonderful. The fugue is the most beautiful organ piece I know. Thanks for posting.
I still cannot get over the extended silence at the end. I would have stood up clapping and shouting after this performance, no matter how distasteful I appeared!
Absolutely magnificent
at 7:02 starts the most wonderful piece which moves your heart and soul directly
This is wonderful playing and full of nuance, subtle expression and extremely sensitive phrasing on the glory of the Cavaille-Coll at Saint Sulpice; the negative statements are due to poison and total jealousy. If these 'types' could only play even half as well as this brilliant concert organist!
I love French romantic music played on a very French romantic Cavaille-Coll! Wow! 5 manuals coupled! Barker levers would help of course! Just magnificent!
A brilliaant performance!!!! Thank you for posting!
An absolute delight! Such a joy to watch his fingers go!
Wonderfully performed, i heard this played at St Johns College last byJames Besant ,never tire of hearing this Thankyou
What a magnificent, loving tribute of Jehan Alain by *Maurice Duruflé*.
How wonderful that he made A-L-A-I-N into fugue subject so melodic and tender and beautiful and optimistic.
Wonderful performance by *Vincent Warnier*! Thank you, Pierre-Francois for sharing this. 7:00 Fugue.
This may be the finest performance of this work I have ever had the privilege to hear. The perfect organ for this piece!

I got the score, I agree, it is a very difficult work to play ! I wonder if I'll be able to play it one day !?
One can see Daniel Roth at the console as well! Glorious playing and musical for its own sake!
One of my favourite organ piece especially the fugue' s final,building up tremendously and then collapsing unespectively

Not really, this isn't even romantic music
Cet orgue est tout simplement magique... plus je l’entends et plus je l’aime 😍 !! Et bravo à l’interprète !!
Wonderful thank you, I cannot imagine why some dislike this video!
These gentlemen in the organ loft represent the highest order of musicianship. Bar none.
You're absolutely correct!
Probably my favourite organ work not composed by Bach. Thanks for posting this stunning performance. It must be great to have Daniel Roth at your side!
Absolutely - totally agree with you.
So do I! This piece has such a sense of mystery about it, and so obviously through-composed with that wonderful ending always in mind.
Excellent playing. Loved hearing your performance on this instrument. Very good command of the piece, while everybody so busy there on the console, too. I also appreciate the videograohy.
Superbe !
Nine years later . . . still clapping! ❤❤❤
I believe this is my favorite video on all of TH-cam.
My God, is that Danial Roth turning pages? Wow!
When Daniel Roth turns pages for you, you've made it to the big-time!
Mr. Warnier was a student of Professor Roth's and the admiration they have for each other is palpable at the console.
I think he would to even if you haven't.
Immaculate and transcendental beauty.
Superb!
Magnificent ! Magnificent! Magnificant!!!
The more I listen to and study this performance, the more impressive it becomes....a masterful performance!
Un travail d'équipe !!
Absolutely stunning. He plays this like somebody having morning coffee!
De la vraie musique, jouée par des musiciens de talents sur des vrais orgues.
Celebrating Jehan Alain on the anniversary of his brave death, 20 June 1940. A stunning performance. Thank you.
A litany if I ever heard one. Everything in and about this video is magnificent . . . the best!
I'll try to shut up about it now lol 😘❤💋
Mon Dieu! @PierreFrancoisDUBATTENTI Me revoilà! Je suis assez accro au son de la musique du professeur Duruflé !

Nathan B. True. The fugue comes right from singing angels.
magnifique
Dr, Durufle' would be proud of this interpretation!!
Magnificent!
Thanks for sharing, it's great! :)

I met him in Paris, very gentil indeed!
7:00 fugue
There's only one thing missing here, I would loved to have seen the pedal at the end it's mind blowing to listen to, M. Warnier makes it look so easy, it's anything but.
sorry for no multiple views on that one, this is a live performance with already much concentration with the stops )
+Pierre-François Apologies I was being a bit demanding. It's all this technology !!!!
Since this performance things have changed I was at Warnier's recital on the 30th April it was magnificent these TH-cam videos are wonderful,tbut there's nothing like the real performance, big screen and loads of views of the pedal. I didn't want to leave. Thank you.
Does anyone know the secret of playing RH two measures, starting at 4:33? The fingering begins: 1 2 1 3 4 ? Can't tell after that. SO PERFECT, SO BEAUTIFUL!
The sound that this organ makes is inexp;icable. It makes one tempted to believe in God
Bravo!!!
The Durufles would be very happy about this collaboration of organ and music. They were not big fans the CC sound. Much more so into the classic voicing. Mr. Wanrier does a splendid job here.
This is a real organ. Not a fake virtual electronic gadget.

That makes two of us... 🤭
You know you're bad-to-the-bone when you have Daniel Roth pulling stops for you.
very good
Excellent performance by Warnier but the coughing and other loud noises below in the church were very distracting.
With that organ, I've noticed virtually every organist hesitates before they start a piece on it... it's like "Okay I'm starting now-- oh wait I gotta make sure I didn't forget to register it-- wait is that coupler on?-- wait... Hail Mary, full of grace... OK I'm ready." .... "OK I'm really ready now." ..... "Ah, what the hell."
👍👍👍S U P E R👏👏👏‼️‼️‼️
12:18 - Why did Roth remove the score before Warnier had finished?
Mr. Warnier knows the piece by memory, the score is just sort of "memo". The last bars are no problem to him.
Who IS doing all that clanking?! I could be misinterpreting, but Mr Warnier does seem a little disturbed by it at times. Wonderful performance of one of the high points of the organ literature.
I think he's not bothered by it at all. It's a common sound with pipe organs, especially the mechanical organs like this one in Saint-Sulpice.
Can someone explain why there was no applause after the finish? People don't clap in France?
You'll never hear a better performance of the piece than this one.
Yes, a perfect performance, good tempi too, not too fast. Like everywhere, people clap in a concert in France in a church.

Vincent Warnier was Daniel Roth pupil, he's the organist of Saint-Étienne-du-Mont, in Paris, the Duruflé organ. Jacques, from France.
Nothing can sound bad on this organ.
You are absolutely right. A friend of mine uses to say that, on this organ, even the jingles from commercials sound tremendous :0)
WARNIER SEEMS TO BE UNDER HEAVY PRESSURE !!!
Alle haben viel zu tun bei sooner Orgel!
Lol
Yikes I’m flying at 10.43
