Organ recital by Helmut Deutsch at St-Sulpice 

Lovely playing and Daniel Roth is always so humble and obliging and welcoming and happy to act as registrant. It’s a treat to hear Bach on this organ too.

Funny because I already had the chance to talk with Mr. Deutsch when I was ten or so. I told him that I really enjoyed the concert he gave and that I want to play the organ myself and now I actually do. He is a great guy!

A wonderful concert with an absolute highlight: Prof. Deutsch playing his own transcription of "Les Preludes" by Liszt! It is fantastic! Thanks to the registrants Pierre-Francois Dub-Attenti , Daniel Roth and another gentleman. They did a fantastic job,too!

It is so much fun to see an Organ registered in the traditional way and not by computerized presets.

Le spectacle est à la tribune!😄 MM Roth et consorts sont charmants mais j'imagine la dose de concentration que cela nécessite pour jouer dans ces conditions... entre les discussions dans son dos, les jeux tirés pendant qu'on joue, les pieds qui se promènent sur les tirasses et le porte partitions branlant... Plaisir de voir un interprète vivre ses émotions! Et puisque tous se marrent joyeusement c'est que tout va bien, bravo à tous, musiciens et instrument! (et confirmation que Liszt était vraiment fou...)

You would never be lonely in this organ loft! It's so amazing to me that they chat while the music is continuing. That would throw me for six.

Great organist and my favorite organ. It takes a team to perform on this wonderful beast. Liszt would love this arrangement.

Helmut Deutsch is indeed a master. I close my eyes, and imagine that Daniel Roth himself is playing.

Bravo maestro mr Deutsch C est monumental Merci aussi a maestro Daniel le grand modeste C est orgue est cadeau pour l humanity Absolument pure amour

Always a joy to watch and listen to these St. Sulpice videos.

Marvellous. And he has Daniel Roth turning the music pages for him!

Wonderful! Imagine having Daniel Roth as your registrant and page turner...

Sending very best wishes for a Happy Birthday to M. Roth! And many happy returns.... his genius brings untold joy to music lovers the world over.

Vielen Dank Herr Deutsch ! Comment ne pas vibrer avec vous pendant cette époustouflante interprétation du prélude 10, Op. 66 de C.-V. Alkan. Vous êtes le meilleur interprète de cette œuvre très peu jouée (car difficile !) de ce compositeur malheureusement trop méconnu. Et Alkan ne demande que le grand Cavaillé-Coll de Saint-Sulpice.... Merci M. Deutsch pour cette fabuleuse interprétation dont je ne retrouve pas l'équivalent sur CD.... malheureusement. Bravo et mille merci à AROSS pour la mise en ligne de concerts aussi fabuleux !

Bravo Maestro (Professor)! A dream team in the organ cockpit. What a remarkable instrument and inspiring performance. I love the pipe organ.

Merci Pierre-Francois for making this possible! I had the opportunity to watch and hear the performance live and am lookign forward for more (live) performances on this great instrument!

Have listened to this many times. There's another video of him playing "Les Preludes" on a German Organ. I vary listening to both. (This video shows him in action. The other one has photos of the organ). From Chicago, U.S.A.

quel bel artiste, habité par la musique qu'il interprète, quel beau programme, merci beaucoup, Mr. Deutsch ! Merci d'avoir mis à votre programme plutôt germanique ces français tels Charles-Valentin Alkan, peu connu et reconnu, pianiste dans la grande tradition de F. Chopin et F. Liszt, et l'immense ChM Widor . Enfin, après ces monuments que sont JS Bachet WA Mozart, le très grand F Liszt : toutes ces filiations musicales se retrouvent ici, merci.

c'est magnifique ce concert et de plus très sympathique de le diffuser à tous !

A fine concert, thanks for the upload. I loved also ALKAN and very good played.

Excellent concert showing how versatile this organ is with all styles of music other than French. I love to observe how attentive Daniel Roth is to both performer, score and registration.

bonjour, pierre-françois; et merci pour cette initiative, qui je l'espère marchera, pour d'autres concerts.Et merci bien-sûr à Daniel ROTH; et à cet orgue formidable, qu'il fait toujours résonner aussi bien!

Goosebumps! Such a majestic sound.

Merci Pierre François pour la mise en ligne en direct et différé ensuite de ce récital tout à fait enthousiasmant d'Helmut Deutsch, un très grand maitre de l'orgue. L'utilisation de l'instrument est fantastique !!

So many thanks for this concert ! My forever gratitude for having discovered Alkan, an incredible genious

Fantastic! Inspired playing of much Germanic repertoire that sounds wonderful on this Gallic organ. A real treat!

La transcription et l'interprétation de la citation du choral Ach Gott, vom Himmel sieh' darein par Mozart dans La fûte enchantée (à 41'40") sont particulièrement magnifiques. Merci à Pierre-François DUB-ATTENTI pour cette belle chaîne youtube.

Bellissimo concerto e grazie ai volontari che lo organizzano. Graditissimo live per chi non può muoversi di domenica

A wonderful program on a glorious instrument! Merci Pierre-Francois for all of your talents and those of all the others who were working in harmony to make this program possible. I too am looking forward to more performances on the Organs of Saint-Sulpice. From Seattle, Washington.

Well done Pierre-Francois. Thank you for an excellent video production. I watched it this morning from Phoenix Arizona.

Qu'il est agréable de tomber le soir sur le concert que l'on a été déçu de ne pas pouvoir dans la journée!! Merci de ce travail de pro!

Grazie per il bel concerto vario nella scelta degli autori ed appagante nell'esecuzione del prof. Deutsch

Wonderful recital from start to finish, with a brilliant team effort in 'Les Preludes'! Especially pleased to finally hear and see some Alkan played on such an iconic instrument. Thank you so much for making this available!

Wat een geweldige techniek! De klank de ruimte het programma je blijft luisteren!

Helmut Deutsch! Was für eine Arbeit!!!! WOW...

Fantàstic concert per l'orgue, pel Helmut, pels ajudants, per la selecció de partitures i el magnífic sò. Una benedicció!

Thank you so much for this! Also Bravo to the Maestro, excellent choices in registration for each of these great pieces.

Thanks Pierre-Francois watched from Victoria BC Canada and loved it

Like a crew on an vast and ancient sailboat...

Très belle organisation de votre part pour l’avoir diffusé en direct ! Bravo ! Et bien évidemment le concert est magnifique... 👍

What a way to start a Sunday morning! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, for presenting this broadcast. I went to Paris this morning.... all the way from Massachusetts.

That Mozart!!! Left me amazed and breathless! 👌👏

Thank you for posting this excellent video, so much history on this organ. Great recital too. Greetings from Sao Paulo Brazil

e' stato un magnifico concerto - grazie

Thanks a lot for this beautiful moment.

Greetings from South Africa! Thank you for this wonderful recital!

Helmut: I really enjoyed your performance; your music. Thank you.

Surprising moves from this organist : usually organists are very sparing with their hands and arms !

Bravo! Thank you so very much. It was spectacular.

Extraordinario, sublime. Gracias por compartir y saludos desde Chile

Very musical and inspired interpretation and performance!

That music rack would drive me absolutely nuts.

Très bonne explication d'avance - merci!

Amazing deep touching repatories!

Bravo!

Fantastiquement joué, en particulier la transcription...

Absolutely AMAZING! I thought Lantry was AMAZING, both are BRILLIANT!!!

Grazie

Brilliant

Superb playing

Bravo brillant thank you watched in Adelaide Australia

Meraviglioso!!

Love the tempo of the bwv546 prelude, it's often played much slower and can sound ponderous and turgid, not so here.

Noticing the action on that organ is pretty fast. Much faster than many theater organs with electropneumatic actions are.

SUPERBE!!!

Emeriti meravigliosi grandissimi professionisti

Das ist so geil

Buenísima.

It was very interesting at the very start to see all those Barker levers in action. Not something one sees every day.

Incredibile

Looks like the control room of a a warlord class titan ngl

also cried abit during that second prelude...something about the cadence...just sorrowful i dunno wha the story is there but evokes...some crazy emoition.

FOR-MI-DA-BLE!!!

СпасиБо!!

Just a minor point about this tremendous instrument. One would think after all this time a better music rack system could be installed. It doesn't appear large (wide) enough for the oversized organ scores and seems to obscure the top (5th) manual. I kept worrying the score would fall off in the middle of a performance.

Baltische Legenden

Thank you so much for sharing and making this available to a greater public who cannot just drop by in Paris every other week! I have one question, though: Is it not usual for the audience to applaude after a piece is finished? Is there some sort of custom different to "usual" concerts?

Bonjour. Quels sont les registres utilisés pour le solo ténor dans le Mozart Zauberflöte Choral, SVP?

What do the buttons do? Im newish here but im trying to learn everything as i can...Just when he pulls the plugs whats that all about...?

Almost 4 years late; he forgot to yank the tie on the page turner ala Victor Borge...

FOURTEEN minutes of commercials/blather to get to the recital?

저는 운이 좋아 형님이랑 보고 듣고 느끼고 왓는데... 한마디로 표현하기 어렵습니다. 그냥 가보시길.....

Belle interprétation, jouée avec force de conviction. Mais... Beaucoup de bruits parasites à la prise de son, certains tuyaux portant le thème sont quasi-inaudibles (à 1:00:00). Positions et nombre des micros ? Trop proches de la source ? Devrait pouvoir nettement mieux faire M. Michaud, surtout avec des KM183. L'enregistrement sonore lui-même comporte des drop-outs sur les forte (à partir de 1:15:20) : enregistreur numérique réglé comme un analogique ? Quant à la vidéo, cela manque de piqué pour de la 720p, et les ombres sont violettes (chemise blanche de M. Roth) ; ça sent le camescope amateur... Pour le montage, plus de 14 minutes d'intro c'est bien trop long, surtout quand on répète la même séquence deux fois au montage à 4:47. Si on veut inclure la présentation en début de concert par M. Roth, soit on se repique sur la sono, soit on lui pose un micro cravate (sinon on supprime ce passage). Pas très pro quand on se dit société de production, et qu'on se veut avoir la confiance des artistes (www.1684productions.fr/artistes/) !
