Olivier Latry is one of three organists at the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris. He is one of the finest concert organists in the world today. On October 7, 2007 Mr. Latry invited JAV Recordings into the loft at Notre Dame and allowed us to film him playing the Introit to the 11:30 Sunday Mass. This music was spontaneously created by Mr. Latry in the tradition of the great French organists. This was recorded with a Cannon HV20 and a pair of microphone hung in the Nave of the Cathedral.
On October 14, 2007 Mr. Latry recorded Vierne's 6th Symphony and a 3 movement symphony on hymn tunes at Washington National Cathedral. This CD will be released in the Spring of 2008 and can be purchased from www.pipeorgancd...
Mr. Latry can be contacted through his agent for recitals at www.concertorga...

M. Latry is a genius, you have to listen to the opening of the mass to realize that this entire piece is him improvising on the theme of the day's mass. I think we will discuss him in music courses a hundred years from now.
We need a full transcription of this one
12yrs on and still one of his best improvisations. 7:40 onwards is superb!!
The superior sound was because I was allowed to use the mics hanging in the nave and I bought equipment to allow me to use real microphones with my camera - also bought a new camera so I can make better videos. Thanks for your kind words
The finest and the most powerful pipe organ in the world
This man is a rockstar. I just LOVE him... 🥰😘😄😁😁
One of my goals in life is to go to Paris and hear this magnificent instrument and organist live.
that organ..that sound...must be a dream for any organist....
When an organist plays such heavenly "spontaneous" music such as this, it confirms in my mind that there is an awesome God who gives the gift of music! I am simply amazed at the great display of musicianship that has been displayed here. Keep playing the magical organ - THE KING OF INSTRUMENTS. Wayne from Australia.
The way he finally incorporates the theme of that day’s chant, Dieu Regne, at 9:12, and especially at 9:31, which he has been building to for the entire improvisation, is awe inspiring. I don’t think I have ever heard an improvisation with better structure
En fait le thème circule très tôt dès 1'50 clairement).
One of his best improvs. He is a master of goose-bump-raising modulations. And great structure on this one.
I was blessed to hear his performance once in Westminster Cathedral, got his signature on the back of my YouCat - Catechism for the Youth.
Wow, I am sad. I hope one day I am able to attend mass at the Notre Dame Cathedral.
I heard Latry play in Erfurt, Germany, when I was on vacation there. I also met him. A wonderfully gifted and very humble performer.
This was in 2007 and where are you now?? Thank you so much for your gift!!
I am an organist, of too many years. Enough of them to be able to say: this is astonishing, I've not heard anything in performance that would challenge this brilliant improvisational skill. A great many improvisations have a rhapsodic form, something of a crazy quilt of ideas pasted together. This extraordinary example is of whole cloth. The man is, in a word, brilliant. Gloriously colorful and exciting work. On ONE manual! [thanks to electronics but who's counting]. Bravissimo!
Latry is great, but also the instrument is incredible.
Notice the combination management possibilities that it has.
Superb player, superb instrument. If the voice of God can be in some way imagined, the sound of this organ can fit perfectly in a believer's imagination.
I love the 8' Vox Humana!!! Beautiful!
I went to mass in Notre Dame de Paris the last month and, even though I don't speak much french and couldn't understand much, the music the organist played was so beautiful and made it such a great experience. I would recommend to every Catholic who is planning on visiting this cathedral to have mass here
Forget Sunday Mass. Olivier provides the spiritual experience. Stupendous!
Mother of God!!! This is stunning on my computer. What must be the effect in person!!!!
One of the greatest organists on this planet !
Like Millions of people around the World - the Fire at Notre Dame was so difficult to watch on TV. I am so glad that reports are coming out that the Organ was not destroyed. May GOD be with the Parisians as they re-build the Cathedral.

People, who don't know music like that may say it sounds chaotic, but there is sooooo much poetry in it...!!! Great!
We wish you to return to this magic table, Sir !
Cèst ma reve de vous retrouver la, Monsieur !
Deutschland ist so traurig... Notre Dame !
I was truly delighted to meet and hear Mr. Latry last night in Plano, Texas at
Christ United Methodist Church. I came away on a "spiritual high!" The Dedication Concert of the church's Reuter Pipe Organ Opus 2235 was truly a memorable experience.

Ahhh, my heart aches for this man today. I do hope the organ can be rebuilt.
Best Improvisation I've heard.
Never heard anything this powerful before, emotionally or literally, its perfect! Latry is the *KING* of the king of instruments!!
Thank you much for uploading this amazing performance = ' )
Love how the organ shakes the floor, adds to the suspense of the music! :-D
I hope this magnificent instrument survived the fire at Norte Dame today!
Had the pleasure of seeing this magnificent performer play a recital on the grand organ of Liverpool Cathedral. He mastered it perfectly, a superb evening !
Great clip -- Latry is a genius. But LET THE REVERB RING AT THE END! Don't cut it off like that -- aaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!
Urbie4 SORRY!
what s going on
I fully agree. Let the sounds ring till they decay naturally. Even applause before the echos are all gone is irritating to me. This not a teen age rock concert.
Urbie4 I know right!!! what the hell guys
Amazing performance
Paul Williams Thank you.
This is one of greatest organs and organists in the world today. Thank you for sharing these works. CVD
Thanks, I love promoting the King of Instuments
This whole peice is just mind blowing on so many levels!
Thanks for a real show. What an artist.
Warren Pugh Thank you - I think he is pretty good too
I really hope the fire did not destroy this magnificent instrument.
The instrument was unharmed it might need a lot of restoration but the fire was in the back of the Cathedral, the organ is up front, in the gallery.
He by far, is one of the best they have. He is blessed with the holy spirit to be able to play so well. Give glory to God in the highest!
Brilliant!! This guy is a pro.
!!!! It is hard to beat the fantastic reverberation of the large cathedrals.
maîtrise absolue de l'harmonie, de la structure, des timbres, sens de l'instrument hors du commun...que dire, qui n'ait été dit et redit sur ce grand monsieur ? Immense respect et admiration renouvelés.
I love the way he sits and waits for the sound to bounce back. Luvs me some pipe organ!
God created this man with the purpose to play the organ... I really love listening to this music!
We were blessed to have him live here in Tucson, Arizona at the Catalina Methodist Church for a concert last night. Thank you so much for your passion sir!
You are most welcome thanks for your kind words
WOW, what a wonderful performance, and such an intoxicating piece of music, I adore it !!!!
I'm sitting here crying that no one will ever hear this beatiful instrument again. so sad.
Este grande músico já esteve no Brasil. Simplesmente Soberbo. A Rede Cultura de Televisão gravou um recital de órgão há alguns anos atrás, na íntegra, com este grande artista.
Oh wow I really do like the sound of this masterpiece of an organ! Unique, all together, poweful, bombastic, silent, harmonic. This organ is magic especially with this great master of an organist
And now, the Notre Dame has burnt down. May we all respect the wonderful cathedral it was.
This impovisation should be transcribed to sheet music... it's a pity I'm not capable enough for that. This is one for the ages.
M. Latry rocks my world.
I definitely love the transition between 5:32 and 5:39 as well as the rythmic made on pedals at 6:21 !
And the crescendos-decrescendos ... I'm speechless
Fantastique, véritable virtuose. Bravo!
He really enjoys his craft - bravo!
I love 7:20 when the Voix Humaine comes on and he plays a portion of the chant on a light reed stop in the pedal. Great stuff!
I am a believer, but terribly "back-slidden". Even so, this guy is the "Eddy Van Halen" of the Pipe Organ!
Please, GOD, save the Cathedral.
Thank you for saving this Improvisation.
Wow love that massive jarring chord at
0:52 seconds and the quieter section at 1:28 but my favourite is the build up that starts at 3:06 and climaxes at 3:34. The harmonies are so typically French. They love their augmented and diminished chords!
That is the most great improvisation i have ever heard ! it like as it is composed (very clear formal structure !!)
OMG it is adorable, love this epic dark powerful organ, super
Magnifique concert !Monsieur Latry .
Latry is a genius, awesome!
I love the power of French organs. Excellent video as always.
Amazing. It's great to see Organ videos over the web. Liked Daniel Roth in Widor 6 too.
A-MAZ-ING!!!!!!!!!! The best video and best improvisation I have seen.
Dazzling! Latry is a unique genius. I grew up with the improvisational brilliance of Gerre Hancock at St. Thomas, Fifth Avenue in New York. There is no greater art form than great improvisation!.
So true.....unlike the printed score, it is directly from the heart.
Superb!
So perfectly wonderful. I adore.
absolutely hypnotic. this is the reason these instruments are worth every penny. if only i had this talent.
I visited Notre Dame on Sunday 15th November - the music sounded very like this during the procession. The atmosphere was incredible.
At the beginning the acoustics are amazing.
this blows me away.
Of all of the pipe organ music I've ever heard, this ranks with the best.
We heard him last week in San Francisco, and he played a superb concert !

Wow!
Merci beaucoup!! Mr. Latry a son orgue a Notre Dame!! Cette musique et incroyables...il y a tellment de harmonie bizare!
Thank you so much!
BRAVO!
I listen to this more than is considered normal, probably... I still can't believe it was imrovised.
Très intéressant! Bravo, Monsieur Latry.
To all at JAV and especially Joe- keep up the excellent work - it has opened up a whole new world to me - THANK YOU SO MUCH . With best regards Adrian McLaughlin Northern Ireland
Fantastic--Sunday at Notre Dame is a must.
My prayers for everyone at Notre Dame amid the devastation of the fire at that beautiful cathedral.
Thank you SO much for putting this clip on TH-cam! Olivier Latry is AMAZING!!! I sat right next to him on the organ bench for Mass 3 weeks ago. A very spiritual experience. Virtuoso!
this guy is off the hook!!!!!! awesome!
I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Latry at St. James Cathedral in Seattle, WA during a master class for the University of Washington. Very expressive playing, and pleasant character.
i love the organ of notre dame!!
and olivier it's a great organ player!!
This is organ improvisation to cover the entrance procession. If you listen carefully it's clear that this merges into the entrance chant 'Dieu Regne' search it on here.
I love that organ.
Here's a better quality version: vimeo.com/65688447
You get to hear this improvisation (on the "Dieu règne" hymn), followed by the actual hymn accompanied by the choir and gallery organs, which opens the mass.
What a blessings Olivier is to the entire world-of-music. CVD
Wonderful and inspired - and sonic quality is even better than those of miliggi (good as these are)...
Great recordings of this instrument gives my subwoofer a workout. :)
Thee best thing I've heard. Olivier is Obivously a fantasic organists and makes it look easy, when it's not.
absolutely unbelievable
A Marvelous Organ....magnific
This man is amazing. I recently heard him at the inaugural recital in the new Catholic Cathedral of Christ the Light in Oakland, California, USA.
That's what so incredible about him!
Merde! This blew me away! Thank you for sharing!
No intention of an insult, but this improvisation would prove to be an excellent piece for the title music of an epic sci-fi movie - astonishing!!
Thankyou for that. I appreciate the help.
This is astonishing. Listening to this I forgot what all other music sounds like.
