What's always been surprising is how "simple" this sonata is in technique. The writing could not be more old fashioned or simpler yet the sound is just majestic. The difficulty is nothing compared to Vierne but the sonority, especially in the last three pages of the first movement is a true work of art.
It would definitely be nice to know what organ this is........this is a very good sonata. I love the harmonic twists and turns in the first movement, the very pleasant atmosphere created by the Meditation second movement, and the superb Bachian counterpoint and unexpected Adagio of the final movement. Definitely should find its way on recital programs more often. Luckily in recent years there has been a serious rediscovery of Guilmant’s Organ Sonatas..........
AHHH - ...and they shall have eyes and yet not see - Did you look at this? Does it look like the St. S. case? Does it look like anything bout a 20th Century piece of cheap shit? Obviously you are completely unfamiliar with what you are HEARING as well as what 19th Century French organs look like.
@@smb123211 Tell me how to print "Yes" nicely. A person looks at an organ by A.c-c and then looks at this monstrosity. How can anyone who is familiar with pipe organs or the work of A. C-C ask such a question. Either they are playing games, Completely unfamiliar with pipe organs, Particularly french, or they can't think. Stupid is forever and could be forgiven. But ignorance is a privilege and must be dealt with accordingly. I made my life's work building and maintaining pipe organs. They are important though not being ignored and replace with electronic substitutes. People should also study if they really care. Recorded cound can be impressive but it is not real. People who even think on organ of this character is an A. C-C doesn't care and can't think.

Weingarten I think.
@@organbuilder272 No it's NOT Weingarten.
Could the subscriber please indicate who played this and on which organ...
Is this St. Sulpice? It sounds like a Cavaille-Colle. Am I wrong?
Yes, you're...

@@organbuilder272 You could have said (nicely) yes or no

@@organbuilder272 You are obviously ticked off about something and I'd wager it had nothing to do with organs. Take care
