Flor Peeters (1903-1986) : Concerto pour orgue et orchestre (1944) 1/2 **MUST HEAR** 

What a wonderful discovery...! I've never heard this concerto before, but this wonderful concerto should be given in all the concert halls!!!

The second mvt really touches me...

WOW!!!! What a thrilling composition. Thks much for the post.

Just discovered this wonderful channel. Goodness gracious, what beautiful music and unfortunately completely unknownst to most of us. These composers deserve more credit for their works. Thanks so much for posting and enlightening me !!

A wonderfully intense work.

Pieces written during World War 2 always fascinate me, considering the environment.

What a glorious work!! Thanks for uploading!

..masterful orchestration..

ME PARECE EXTRAORDINARIO QUE YOU TUBE ( COLLECTIONS CB2 ) PROMOCIONE A AUTORES DE MÚSICA POCO O NADA CONOCIDOS Y QUE POSEAN ALTA CALIDAD ESTÉTICA Y CREATIVA. ¡ BRAVO !!!....

Wonderful music!

Terrific, thanks!

brilliant absolutely

Bravo, great music ...

i wonder how many people see the command 'MUST BE HEARD' and immediately refuse to listen to it, regardless of whether it seems interesting, or not . . . for some, an all-cap command to do something ensures that such action will never be done . . .anyway, you've got a wonderful collection of music on each of your channels and we are very grateful for your generosity in sharing such fine works of aural art. muchas gracias y saludos desde Tokio.

Semantics...it could easily be book recommendation and read "this is a must read for the summer" It is assumed this just means "highly recommended" and of course highly recommended means highly recommended by the recommender. One persons "must" can still be another person's "eh..." and that's fine. That said, I will agree that "five stars" should be reserved for the best of the best (of these unknown discoveries). It is great they are all here for "us" to pick and choose what we must hear..

This beautiful concerto of Peeters is rarely heard. And regrettably nearly all of his choral and organ music has fallen into obscurity in the R.C. church. Peeters spent a lifetime composing sacred choral and organ music for the church he loved. Much of it based on chant and modality, which were very close to his heart. At the Cathedral at Mechlen, he would often improvise preludes and postludes based on the chants of the day. After Vatican II, Gregorian Chant and the music of Peeters, Langlais, Palestrina, Victoria, Morales, Mozart, Rheinberger, etc. were the "babies thrown out with the bath water" and replaced with third-rate cocktail music of Wise, St. Louis Jesuits, Haas, Haugen, Schutte, Cooney, etc. When this "happy-clappy" has finally lost it's glitter, perhaps the church can finally attach the word "sacred" to music once again.

The orchestra is the Flemish Radio Orchestra.

Before it can be heard, it must be completed. There's at least another 10 minutes to go

What's more interesting is WHY it "must be heard" I look forward to listening to those so endorsed. I like some and don't like others. So what is the criteria that determines the special attributes one assumes the piece possesses? I wouldn't know "good" music from any other; I only know what I like. Someone once said: Wagner's music is better than it sounds" . Some people think it is "good". Some people like it, some don't!

I think ihad this album back in the 70s. A series from Radio Nederland? Aspects of Dutch Music?

Je dois avouer que le mouvement lent a quelque chose de poignant.

Any idea where can I buy full score (organ and orchestre) for this concerto? I searched internets for it and found only version for organ and piano :/
