Wow - church heavy rock. Amazing how a single instrument and person can make such an incredible sound. Wish I'd been there to hear - and feel - it first hand.
ARISTIDE CAVAILLE COLL heeft de mooiste orgels ter wereld geschapen. De zeer mystieke muziek van Charles Tournemire komt geweldig goed tot zijn recht op dit fantastische instrument. Te Deum spelen voor Onze Lieve Heer, dat is het einde en dat doet Tournemire nu voor GOD in het tijdloze Hiernamaals. ALLE EER AAN GOD.
This is pure 100% Tournemire. Magnificent organ and playing. What a sound. Cavaille-Coll purists will disagree that this organ is his finest since there have been so many changes made that it is hardly distinguishable from the original instument. Still I will not argue that this organ sounds magnificent.
The first Contrebombarde D pointing down the first Chamade D coupled in a fraction second at 5m07s is one of the only reasons for me this organ will always be the greatest of all of them...!
a nice fondness--i tend to notice details about several favorites, not all as relate to strong capabilities, but also as relate to quieter pipes, wiyh wonderful clefts sometimes. certainly this instrument is a mainstay.
This is the best I have heard the organ of Notre Dame de Paris sound since before the 1990 bastardization uh i mean restoration. Bravo to your brilliant performance.
@sediavindivoh Charles Tournemire was a great improviser but this piece is a written down as a part of the large organ cycle L’Orgue Mystique (No. 51).
@jeanseborg Vierne did use this organ. In fact he died on the console. He was a titulaire. Are you talking about an organ in his personal possession? (this is notre Dame in the Video.

For me this is the No1 performance of this "piece" on YT. I just sadly read that Mr Metzler died in 2017.... RIP! :(
Is this the same Jim Metzler who was organist at Trinity Episcopal in Toledo, Ohio? I remember hearing him play this at Trinity.
This is a stunning performance. Bravo!

Fantastic !! At Notre-Dame this incredible piece does more than rock of course !!
I think has got to be one of my all time favourites!!!
Fantastic!
More, Please!!!!
Grandioze mystiek van de vaak onbegrepen en ook ondergewaardeerde Charles Tournemire.
Jim Metzler speelt op uitmuntende wijze dit prachtige werk!
This is absolutely stunning. Bravo and thank you!
Beautiful
What an incredible sound. I love it. Thank you very much.
Best recording EVER!
Great! Thanks!

What a wonderfully chaotic piece of organ music! Delightful find... Makes me wish I had a better sound system...
The organ is that of Notre Dame? Magnificent instrument in any case!!!
How much I miss playing
It sounds almost like Vierne's organ! :D Nice registration choice of the organist!
5:49 Wow! 😊😳😍🥰😅
Powerful
Bravissimo!!
Who is this fantástic organist? He or she gives me goosepimples.....WOW......
That opening fanfare is just............

It would have been great for the awakening of N D of Paris awakening!

@Jeanseborg Oh, I see. You meant the eras of the Organ itself.
"A.M.D.G." ("Ad Maiorem Dei Gloriam")!
I have a question. Was this song improvised at some point? It says Improvisation in the title. :D
The whole thing.
Ive always thought it strange that Tournemire ended this piece in a different key from the one he started one. Seems like a strange choice.
