The coolest ensemble I've watched in a while, also the conductor. This is an incredible enting with a pure high pitched sound, as if the whole ordinar-ed chaos is written to be culminated in such purity.
I miss the days as a teenager where i could naively enjoy Lovecraft. I love everything here, from the mumbo jumbo mystical lyrics that recall Sun Ra to the splendid and boundless orchestration with such beautiful sounds. Une merveille !
¡Salud, oh Constructores, oh Formadores! Vosotros véis. Vosotros escucháis. ¡Vosotros! No nos abandonéis, no nos dejéis, ¡oh dioses!, en el cielo, sobre la tierra, Espíritu del Cielo, Espíritu de la Tierra. Dadnos nuestra descendencia, nuestra posteridad, mientras haya días, mientras haya albas. Que la germinación se haga Que el alba se haga. Que numerosos sean los verdes caminos, las verdes sendas que vosotros nos dais. Que tranquilas, muy tranquilas, estén las tribus. Que perfectas, muy perfectas, sean las tribus. ¡Que perfecta sea la vida, la existencia que nos dais. ¡Oh Maestro Gigante, Huella del Relámpago, Esplendor del Relámpago! Huella del Muy Sabio, Esplendor del Muy Sabio, Gavilán, Maestros-Magos, Dominadores, Poderosos del Cielo, Procreadores, Engendradores, Antiguo Secreto, Antigua Ocultadora, Abuela del Día, Abuela del Alba… ¡Que la germinación se haga! ¡Que el alba se haga! ¡Que numerosos sean los verdes caminos, las verdes sendas que vosotros nos dais! ¡Que tranquilas, muy tranquilas, estén las tribus! ¡Que perfectas, muy perfectas, sean las tribus! ¡Que perfecta sea la vida, la existencia que nos dais!
@matthew bowie: Electronic organs already existed, especially since the Ondes revision is from 1961. If Varese had wanted one, he would have called for one. The point of the pipe organ is the contrast between the acoustic instrument and the electronic Ondes. So, using an electronic organ does NOT fulfill the "intent of the score".
Agreed, and it's totally lame. I'm surprised a renowned and universally respected ensemble such as this would think this was an ok substitution. There is no shortage of suitable organs in France!
A real concert organ *can* be better than an electronic, but you assume that the aesthetic intent here is demeaned by "imitation," rather than enhanced by the clearly synthetic impetus of the piece. I would argue that the electronic organ is not an imitation of anything; it fulfills the intent of the score.
Intent aside, a real pipe organ sounds way better. This was of course done for practical purposes as there's no organ in the hall. But, I say move the concert to a space with an organ, it makes a huge difference. Yes, I'm an organist.
A good rendition, but a real concert organ is always better than an electronic imitation, and I prefer the bass solo version (more precise articulation). Interesting to see an Ondéa (digital recreation of the Ondes) alongside an original Ondes Martenot...

Every day I listen to a performance by the Ensemble. Keeps me whole, mind body & soul. Thank you for the brilliance.
Same here, Maestro.
Brilliant performance! Abominable camera work!
Es una gran pieza de la escuela francesa contemporanea
A Hit by Varese
Merci
Very cool music in a world of trite music.
This is what I called Music.

It really does sound like something from Lovecraft, doesn't it?
Fantastic performance of a great piece
Terrific, tremendous music and performance.

Yes, I'm an organist.
What kind of keyboard is it they use for these portamento effects?
maybe its a trautonium.
It's an Ondes Martenot
