Duruflé Suite Opus 5 - Prélude - Julien Bret - Saint Ouen, Rouen (1/3)

Maurice Duruflé (11 January 1902 -- 16 June 1986), one of the most gifted pupils of Charles Tournemire, wrote this Suite in 1932. This, the Prélude, is the first of three pieces (the others being the Sicilienne and the famous Toccata), performed by Julien Bret on the 1890 Cavaillé-Coll organ in the Abbey Church of Saint-Ouen in Duruflé's home-town of Rouen.
Details of the organ can be found at www.uquebec.ca/... (in English et en Francais).

Cette interprétation est flamboyante, avec cet orage, ce puissant déchaînement au milieu ! Et l'Abbatiale de Saint-Ouen à Rouen avec son gigantesque Cavaillé-Coll, un monument exceptionnel.

Stunning performance on the perfect instrument. Merci

Ce prélude est beauté, message, violence et rêve, Duruflé est surtout l'instrument puissant d'une volonté formidable.

Et bien: oui ! Mais puis-je rajouter qu'il fallait la langue française. (?)
Je le dis en tant qu'Américain originaire d'un patelin cowboy de rien du tout dans l'Arizona--étant tombé amoureux de votre langue maternelle à l'age de 19 ans.
Bien à vous. Je suis Mark.

Can this cd be purchased anywhere?
Edit- even an mp3 or flac download would be great... Can anyone help out?

You can download any TH-cam video, mp4 or mp3. Just type 'youtube to mp3' in your browser, you'll get multiple websites. You can copy paste the url of this video into the website and using that it can convert it to mp3. Watch out for popups, these sites will usually be full of them. Just click those away and you should be safe from annoying things.

@@multimapping8303 thanks mate, yeah I do that quite regularly ;)
But the quality in these uploads isn't very good- I was hoping to get an original recording on cd

I looked for this recording as well, I couldn't find it on disc or itunes. Unfortunately a lot of the great recordings on this channel are no longer in production.
