- I can't believe how good this sounds!
This is Carillon-Sortie by Henri Mulet, played using the 'Aristide' organ of Saint-Ouen in Rouen (France) on my house organ using the Hauptwerk VPO software.
I've played a number of French organs now, and this is one of the best. To find out more about it, go here: hauptwerk-organ.com/product/a....

Has anyone spotted deliberate typo yet? 😂
I noticed but thought I'd better not mention it!! Hmmm, I wonder where the organ of Saint Organ is situated? 😂
@Samuel Sleath I bet it’s on the border between France and Germany (there must be a chapel in the Netherlands / holland too), the best countries for organ building in my opinion.
The Organ of Saint Organ can't be in Oregon. Must be in Normandy, normally.
@@EduardQualls Thanks …. I was considering driving around Mt Hood to see if I could find it. …. !!!!!
@@VoxAngelica8 Samuel Sleath was making a joke regarding the whereabouts of the St. Ouen-Rouen organ is at.
I rarely, actually NEVER comment on Hauptwerk or other digital organs, I never find them to be that compelling in a recording... Some in person, yes, I have liked them... But wow, you have captured something here that is astonishing... The reverb, the acoustics, everything is just amazing. I have never gotten chills from any digital instrument but I certainly did when those 32s came on. I think anyone who is overly critical about this might not have a good enough stereo system. There is a recording of this piece, at the actual Organ, and I stand by my comment this is just crazy good!!
Thanks - I really appreciate that. I’d love it if you left some comments on my other videos. I’d recommend watching Martin Baker’s recital as it sounds brilliant!
The secret for digital organs is in getting the right speakers actually capable of delivering what is going to be asked of them.
Such is the magic if Beauty be in Sound. INSPIRE. PASSION. EXCELLENCE.
I agree. Having recorded many sessions live years ago I think the time has come to embrace the tech. It really sounds very pleasing but cannot of course convey the weight and authority of being there...but close.
Wow! Having been to St Ouen to hear Gerrard Brooks play this world heritage treasure...That sound is amazing! Thank you.!
You are incredibly lucky!
St Ouen has the most beautiful sounding organ in the world, and you captured all of its splendor!
YOU ABSOLUTELY NAILED IT! I have loved this instrument ever since I first heard it, My old ears are happy now, knowing that if the unthinkable ever happened to this organ, at least the sound would NEVER be lost! Thanks, and keep this good stuff coming. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it Charles 😊
Very impressive this hauptwerk. Beautiful.
I first came across this piece as a ten-year-old on an LP by Nicolas Kynaston at the organ of the Royal Albert Hall. It's not just childhood noostalgia that makes it still one of my favourites.
Have that LP too. Contains also a pièce named ”étude de concert” by Joseph Bonnet which is beautiful and for which very few recordings exist today.
@@marcvandyck8052 A real fireworks display of a piece but with a delicious quieter middle section, like the eye of the storm. I particularly like the gratuitous chromatic section just before the end.
You've brought back memories Stephen, I bought that Kynaston LP as well but can't remember which year. Also got Jackson at York, all long ago !
You and me both
BRAVO! What a fantastic interpretation of this piece - it's very difficult to get tempo and articulation just right for each accoustic space, and I would say you nailed it here!
ditto - on all the same points ... Getting the tempo and articulation just right for each acoustic space is pretty much the art and the name of the game ...
Sounds superb!🇨🇦
The Saint Ouen cathedral pipe organ has long been one of my very favorites - a fantastic instrument in an incredible space. As I listen carefully to your performance of a splendid piece, I find that the electronic sampling has successfully captured the earth-shaking wonder of the Cavaillee-Coll's thunderous 32' ContraBombarde - unique in the world. Congratulations!
Awesome! Thank you.
Such appropriate organ fireworks for the New Year! The first time I heard this piece it was being played very fast (I won't say by whom or where) and when learning it especially for a friend's wedding a few years ago I took it more steadily. Even so, I've never been convinced by sedate tempi... until now! You've cracked the secret of letting the instrument and building provide the sparkle whilst you provide the clarity. Bravo!
Cheers Mark. I don’t think it needs to be faster than this. It was inspired by a performance on the real Saint-Ouen organ which was played at crotchet = 72. That’s what I went for, give or take! Welcome to the community by the way - lots for you to catch up on!!
@@beautyinsound Thanks for having me - I've already enjoyed browsing through your content and look forward to fuller immersion - and to new releases - in due course!
There are lots of really nice people in the community and you’ll be on first name terms in no time!
Agreed. Often hear this piece played way too fast and it then appears as a glob of sound with little or no articulation of the various parts.
Mr. McVeigh’s rendition is “perfect.” 😀
This is one of the most thrilling renditions I have ever heard. Until this day, my favorite has been Douglas Major at the Washington National Cathedral. I don't know how you have accomplished the accurate voicing and acoustics; whatever the cost (must be mega-$), it is hereby proven to be worthy of every penny. Thanks for sharing it.
Very very impressive !!! it sounds almost as crystalline as the original !
AND... it's a PERFECT Carillon (not Toccata) for Epiphany Sunday... !!! which is celebrated TODAY! I played it last year for this GREAT Feast Day... But... this year, the Westminster Carillon... still... WHAT A SPECTACULAR home organ!!!!
I so enjoyed listening to this piece. It was spectacular and grand. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
This is one organ where the bass needs turning up again (as it was in the early days of BIS). That 32’ contrabombarde was set way up by C-C - though it is competing with 30 less stops than St Sulpice. It is the finest single stop in the world. Let her sing loud and proud.
Tears of joy. Magnificently played. 🎼
Majestically soaring music played with exquisite virtuosity. Thank you.
Fantastic interpretation, Richard. Indeed you have the best house organ in the world. And, St Ouen is the best Cavaillé-Coll in France. I have not played it, but have heard it a few times, including the Saint-Saëns Organ Symphony with full orchestra. What an experience!!!!
This organ that Richard has is absolutely stunning in its tonal beauty. It sounds like a French cathedral, that is for sure. Yes, the St. Ouen organ is so beautiful and the acoustics are so perfect. All of the Cavaillé-Colls are great instruments. I do think, though, that the St. Sulpice organ is known as Aristide Cavaillé-Coll's crown jewel, but many believe that the St. Ouen organ is more beautiful. I think acoustics play a part in that.
How is this possible??? I’ve been using Hauptwerk for years, you’ve made me want to research the reverb and acoustic scheme and make this a reality. And this Mulet piece is one of my absolute favorites, VERY well done!
This is in my top 5 pieces for organ. Wonderful! Plus it's one of the pieces I've requested from Caroline a few times. She'll be glad it's now done!
Are you kidding me ! Fantastic !
Ohh how beautiful! It gave me chills! Thank you so much!
Excellent video editing (love to see the pedal work), and of course this performance!
Breathtaking! Well done!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely stunning music
The TH-cam video of Kalavi Kiviniemi playing the Widor "Toccata" at St. Ouen is a splendid benchmark for
comparison of the acoustic properties of the building, and what musician, instrument and architecture offer to the listener. I agree with others who take issue with this Hauptwerk edition. Nonetheless, Richard you have a knack for interpretation which is extremely compelling. DJ in Knoxville TN
Oh Lord!🙏 The honeymoon with this Instrument is going to be long and sweet!.. But the Day all this is common place and Boring; will be a Sad day!😔 Till then... This Is GREAT!👍🙏💕
- if/when (neither likely), we'll just swap out Richard for Hugo, Caroline w/chamades, and Nala ...
I have had the exquisite pleasure of giving a concert on the Organ at St. Ouen. Your new home instrument astounds me , all I can fault ( from personal acquaintanceship ) is the "presence" of the 32ft reed (when brought on) & this is a minute drawer back when the "realism" of this home instrument is considered in actual context of performance.
Please do tell us who fabricated this domestic musical masterpiece.
Thank you
Bryan Hardy ( AUSTRALIA)
This sound opens extremely unprecedented wide windows in your mind. So magnificent!
Stunning and your new Hauptwerk console is absolutely marvelous to behold!!
Absolutely gorgeous!!!
Beautiful. Sounds fantastic. Happy New Year.🎉🎉🎉
The Rotomagensis sound ! Saint Ouen is really the Michel Ange's organ. So well played ! Thanks for all the vidéo. Encore !!
One of my favourite pieces. And you certainly did it justice with your performance on one of the very best consoles in the world playing one of the finest French instruments. Brilliant. Happy New Year to all in BIS HQ and the wider BIS family!
Wow! Great job! Love this piece!
wow!Stunn ing playing!
Magnifique ✨
Quelle chance d'avoir ça à la maison....🥲
J'ai vraiment beaucoup de chance, et j'invite de nombreuses personnes à venir y jouer afin qu'il soit utilisé pour apporter des avantages aux autres. J'ai l'impression d'en être le "gardien" !
Way to go! Loved it. Thanks for 'ringing' in a new year with such beauty and skill.
Spectacular! WOW! Fantastic! Wow!
I must say the new console is an absolute delight to the eye with it's visible versatility, fine construction and of course an Exceptional Player. I am extremely tempted to one day save the funds and make a similar request: Though for St Alban's Cathedral instead of York Minster. 😎
Stunning and just right for this Epiphany Sunday! Thank you 👏👏👏
Extremely impressive!
Magnificent!!
WOW! WOW! WOW! Is there a more glorious 32' Bombarde in all the world???
A cool organ piece, excellent playing as always!😁👍
Happy New Year to Richard, Caroline Hugo, Nala, Bobbie and to the rest of your family and all to all BIS listeners!🥰
Happy new year!
CHAPEAU!!
Amazing!
You tube put this in my punk rock mix. I love it!
i love the start theme!!!! so powerful with the pedals!
Absolutely swashbuckling and gobsmacking - I had to use a lifting jack to lift my jaw off the floor! Your interpretation was THAT good!!!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!! 😃
Fabulous!!
Amazing! One of my favorite pieces!
I rather like it too. I only learnt it on Wednesday & Thursday!
@@beautyinsound - actually - I think by now you've "learnt" just about every piece there is -- it's just a minor detail of putting together the specific notes for each particular piece .. ;-)
Wonderful !!
The organ looks fabulous! 👍 Lovely piece of music.
Thanks Sandra
Absolutely Brilliant! 👏
😎
Wonderful ❣❣❣
Wonderful playing and artistic interpretation on such a magnificent instrument!
Absolutely stunning. You've certainly got this Hauptwerk thing sorted. Well played. 👍
marvelous, happy new year.
Happy new year to you too!
Mate, this is absolutely amazing!! Your organ is absolutely immense!! I’d love to have a setup like that!
1 Happy New Years from Dallas Texas
I endorse every approving comment and will add one more "like": the whoomph when you engaged the initial piston. Conversely, I sorely missed the GC kerwhoomph at the end. The inbetween music was breathtaking.
Thanks! 😃
Perfect tempo!
So many versions of this are a big muddy sound. This is very nice and clear . The sample set is most impressive. My organ is a digital Viscount but has a full midi capacity so I plan to add a Haupwerk system
Marvellous playing Richard, it certainly got me breathless! John ( smoothsilk ) Happy New Year!
What a machine!
It sounds even better in the BIS Music Room!
Cavaillé-Coll organ in Rouen is most beautifull romantic organ in the world. Really! :)
I agree!
Cool!
Great music and the best channel thumbnails on TH-cam.
That’s very kind! Not sure about the ‘best’ thumbnails, but I spend a lot of time thinking about each one. It’s a crucial part of the video, in my view. Do you think it gives you a good impression to the actual content of the video?
@@beautyinsound yes, I do. I've found they are vital, particularly if it is a recommended channel that I have not viewed before. I love the music that you make, it elevates my day.
Amazing piece and performance! One of my favourite pieces, French toccatas are great.
Which one should I do next? I proper performance of Litanies?
Have you learnt Tu Es Petra also by Mulet? That's probably among my all time favourites! Litanies would also be great.
@@SamuelSleath Agreed about more Mulet. (Or Diffrill?, Bellier?). I'm not sure Litanies works well with a long reverb, it really needs clarity in the specified upper-work. Something like Nun Danket would sound good on this. Suite Gothique works well too......
@@tonymurphy7610 it could sound good if there wasn’t so many rear ranks used so it has more clarity. Nun danket would definitely work. French stuff written with big organs and in most cases big acoustics in mind definitely would sound great!
@@beautyinsound - do you think the Finale from Louis Vierne Symphonie No. 1 might be a good one ?
This is one of the best in the world for me. My top 3 is: no 1. The Schnitger organ in Noordbroek Netherlands 2. The Schnitger organ in the Jacobi kirche in Hamburg 3. Cavaille coll St Ouen in Rouen.
2 Schnitgers in your top 3? Do you like Baroque and French by and chance??
@@beautyinsound Yes alot! I just heard the youtube concert of Minne Veldman played at the Schnitger in Noordbroek. There was this comment of someone who said he hated Bach. Can you imagine? I believe there is a hauptwork version of the Noordbroek organ available. I got emotionel when I heard it for the first time in real. It sounded so pure, build in 1696 a treu piece of craftsmanship.
@@beautyinsound To be honoust I like a lot. I love baroque, Bach, Bohm, Bruhns, weckmann and earlier Sweelinck our National composer. I like the french baroque composers and the french romantic as well. I’m also a Fan of Max Reger and my personal project at this moment is listening to the organ music Karg elert.
Short of being there in person, this is surely the next best thing?!
Having experienced both..... Absolutely!!
These videos make me jealous all the time like I know you’re not gonna get good just by buying a gigantic organ but hell who doesn’t want that in their house XD(I absolutely love your content btw)
It’s a dream-come-true!
I love the sound of a Cavaillé-Coll instrumet
Hello, good sound !!! BRAVO ! But why some stops are empty ?
It’s one of the biggest scaled 32’ reeds I think C.Coll did
Grand.
So, has York Minster figured out that you stole their console yet? 😜 Wonderful instrument and performance!
This is one thing that the console at York couldn't do! 😉
Richard McVeigh, Boy I wish my home Organ would sound like that! I've got a used Rodgers 645, two manual Organ. It's an analog organ.
Presumably it doesn’t have a MIDI out connections?
Good Lord …… no comment needed, oh, maybe just WOW WOW WOW ….. insane indeed. MORE.
Cheers Trevor! Happy new year to you!! X
Wow the new editing, this will work well with the younger generation with that style of intro😂
Bet you watched the whole introduction, if nothing else! 😉
I wondered which sample set you were using. I thought maybe the Dudelange Marcussen, but the pedal reed was too profound, Really comes across on YT to my stereo system. Now that you got Carillon Sortie under your fingers, how about Mulet's Byzantine Sketches, especially Tu es Petra. Nice Noel there for Christmas, too. Check out my request for Searle Wright's Introduction, Pasacaglia and Fugue. I have the music and there is a nice YT vid of Fred Swann playing it at Chrystal Cathedral. Mulet's work is on Petrucci!
Bonjour, Je n'ai pas très bien compris comment vous avez obtenir les sonorités de l'orgue Cavaillé-Coll de Saint Ouen à Rouen (Normandie) ? Peut-on l'acheter ? (You can answer me in english). Belle interprétation et bon tempo je trouve : pas trop rapide. Je reproche juste à cette œuvre les accords de quinte à la pédale qui sont peu mélodieux. Sinon, c'est une pièce de concert intéressante. Bravo !
Awesome!!
Do you play it? I only learnt it a few days ago!
The new home console is inspiring.
As I contemplate my own "dream console" for Hauptwerk, I'm curious about your thoughts on determining the appropriate / required number of pistons per manual and pedal? (as to the pedals, I'm thinking around 8-10 would be sufficient, and perhaps 10 per manual?)
My thought is to maximize (within reason) as I don't know what I will want or need in the future, and it is better to have pistons and not need them vs needing more pistons and not having them.
What are everyone's thoughts?
Very nice organ sample and piece you are playing. Did you by chance get new video editing software for Christmas, a number of nice effects noted here with the pedal shot placed on the music rack being the most interesting of them.
No - it’s still Adobe Premiere, but I’m trying one or two new things. I’m glad you’ve noticed!
Hey Richard - have you ever given any thought about doing the Gabler Organ (1750) at the Basilica of St. Martin (Weingarten)? I don’t know if it’s on Hauptwerk or any other sampling program, but it’s one of my favorite organs!
I don't know that one, but I'll check it out.
@@beautyinsound (and Jacob Sekela): oh yes - it’s astonishing - I had a recording on LP years ago, on the Oryx label. Would be great to hear you play it in person or if available on a sample set.
Couple thoughts on the disparity between the Aristide composite sample set and recordings of St. Ouen:
- It probably helps to unify the impulse response reverb of the Caen and Metz sample sets. They match better in this recording, but in recordings of stock Aristide, the Caen ranks are so dry it’s hard to listen to. The Metz ranks have a reverb that’s sounds somewhat warmer and more attenuated than Caen surround, but a good reverb plugin can probably solve this.
- Making the contrebombarde more prominent isn’t simply a matter of upregulating the volume on those ranks. The 32’ Contrebombarde is just the synthetic 32’ reed stops from each sample set played together and slightly detuned from each other. Not sure this is the best approach for emulating the sound of Ouen’s Contrebombarde. I think the perception of loudness has more to do with how much reverberation is produced in the room, so perhaps it’s better to try just one of the ranks, whichever sounds meatier and with a stronger quint harmonic, and ensuring that the wet signal is prominent without the dry signal clipping the rest of the organ.
- The Carillon needs to evoke a stronger sense of space in the cathedral. I’m not sure of the best way to do this, and my experience is only with Friesach, but one thing I’ve tried is is increasing the tracker time for the these ranks to somewhere around 50-75 ms. This slight delay with the reverb helps gives the illusion of space, and might be somewhat accurate with those ranks being farther away in the Récit. The reverb treatment for this stop is tricky and IMO a big part of Ouen’s unique sound. The wet signal for these ranks, especially the 1’ rank, needs to have a long enough decay to be heard above everything else, but enough of the dry signal also needs to come through when the Récit is completely closed. I don’t use Hauptwerk, so I’m not sure if there’s a way to adjust the attenuation of individual ranks with the opening and closing of enclosure boxes, but the attenuation of the wet signal, especially its very high frequencies, needs to be somewhat less than for other stops.
- I’ve tried tuning the 1’ rank on the Carillon about two semitones flat, so that it’s basically a septiéme. This is out of spec, but gives the Carillon a more metallic sound, which helps it project and goes a long way towards making Friesach sound more like Ouen. Although on Aristide, the main issue with the 1’ rank in the Carillon might be having it adequately project at the higher registers.
- The wind model in Aristide needs to be more limited to really sound like Ouen. I’m talking about the classic Ouen sound you get when playing a bunch of reed stops in the higher registers, where they start to sound like a very loud string section because of the wind fluctuations creating real-time detuning modulation. I’ve read that these fluctuations can also arise from the reed vibrations of the 16’ or 32’ pedal reeds, which feed back into tone channels and create low-frequency modulation of the wind pressure for the other engaged stops.
- The wind model in Hauptwerk also should be updated to render more serious detuning near full organ registration. If you listen to Gerard Brooks’ “Abbey Spectacular” performance of this piece, there’s a very noticeable detuning across the entire organ on the final chord where he’s engaged the octaves graves, most of the reeds, and the 32’ contrebombarde. It’s clear that the organ is struggling, and that this is the finale of the piece.
Note: I don’t use Hauptwerk or have Aristide, so I haven’t tested any of these ideas on Aristide. But I think Aristide is a great concept and with some moderate tweaking could become a much more convincing Ouen emulation.
👍👍
👍👍👍•••BRILLANTES•••👏👏👏‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️….
🙏🙏🙏 THANK YOU 👈👈👈
Nicely played and of course a nice sound - but that should be expected, when you have to pay more than 1000,- to get all necessary sample sets required. Hmm.. this all (including your new setup) is nearly not possible for normal working people, methinks 😜 by the way: I’m still waiting for some details about your new system… you never told anything about your new components behind the new console… (or did I miss it?)
But it is always inspiring to see you playing. Thanks for your great work - but please stay on the ground despite your Rolls Royce console 🤪😎
What would you like to know specifically?
Oh good to hear from you. I’d be interested in the new PC and Audio Hardware including your as you said insanely pricey speakers and of course one question that bothers me since the beginning: do you only use the sample sets „out of the box“ or do you take time to make some intonation adjustments? I know that that is not always possible in every sample set but just to compare your settings with mine ;) thanks for answering so quickly 😎🤗
P.s. maybe you could one day make a video recording the room sound? That would be very interesting 🤔
How do you change the pages on the tablet? Are you using a toe stub or is it on a timer or some other method?
Great piece and really well played, but I don't think the composite sample set sounds much like the real organ, it's missing a lot of the very characteristic sounds that the organ at St-Ouen has. It does sound really good (one of the best sample sets I've heard) but it has a more generic Cavaille-Coll sound rather that of St-Ouen. Happy new year btw
If only the organists at Saint-Ouen would have the organ sampled!! I emailed the organist there, but he hasn’t even acknowledged my email. I think that gives some impression of their attitude towards Hauptwerk unfortunately.
And a ‘generic’ CC is still a good thing…. Right??? 😉
@@beautyinsound it’s definetly a good thing ! But no offense to any sample set makers but I really doubt a sample set of st Ouen would actually sound any good, there are a few big cavaille-coll sample sets, notably Nancy and Caen, Caen isn’t that bad but it’s the best of them and still doesn’t really sound like the real thing. The organ at Rouen is so unique it would be almost impossible to sample well anyway.
Mr Monnot is a very nice person but I get the impression he isn’t very good at replying to emails
@@julianmatthews5785 that’s often the case. The „bigger“ the organist are, the more they have to be on tour giving concerts or to teach - as in France no organist gets a regular salary. They are only paid for the amount of playing. So they have to run after the money. Sometimes you must only be friendly and persisting - and of course: ecrire francais 😝 they like that…
What do you all think of sampling Notre-Dame de Paris? Im not sure if it ever would occur
Richard, beautiful playing. great sound. what is your pdf reader app called please? Thanks!
ForScore, the Pro version (for face gestures)
Correct me if I'm mistaken, but Aristide No. 1 V2 is a composite sample set, intended to imitate the sound of the the great Aristide Cavaillé-Coll organ at Saint-Ouen in Rouen, France and it's not an actual sample of the Rouen pipes??
Love this work ever since first hearing Nicholas Kynaston's Royal Albert Hall recording from the 70's! What an organ you've got there! Enjoyed listening!
Nicolas Kynaston played it in 4:48 on that Albert Hall Recording. I think Richard's speed seemed much more appropriate.
Dear Richard (and anyone) regarding the question of how those of us at BiS whom can only listen on TH-cam with a basic laptop computer, with headphones, on a low budget, do you have any technical recommendations? Any advice from anyone appreciated.
The Houptwerk console is missing quite a few stops. Wonder why that would be though?
I have seen several organists using an iPad to display the sheet music - but the iPad seems to "flip the page" automatically. Is that's what's happening? Is the iPad using it's built-in microphone to follow the score so that it knows where you are in the piece?
