Poulenc: Organ Concerto in G minor, op. 36 - Daniel Oyarzabal 

This is a work of pure genius. The performance is chilling and breathtaking by turns.

Theatre organ sound. Perfect.

My orchestra performed this . An absolutely amazing experience.

great orchestra performance and great organist. Bravi

Many years ago I had the privilege of performing this work on a 3 manual Austin organ in New York. A applaud this performer's registration which was as Poulenc suggested. Also appreciated the 32' pedal which the work requires. Poulenc was one of the French composers of the period who remained faithful to tonality whereas others like Ravel and Debussy followed impressionism more closely.

Beautiful performance!!! Well done! Bravo!

Powerful evocation of majestic motion on a planetary scale.

Supreme and wonderful....Bravo!!.. Oyarzabal is an extraordinary organ player.... great performance...

Best Organ Concerto in the world performed brilliantly....T Y

Toda a vez que ouço esse concerto, me volta a sensação da primeira vez que escutei e me emocionando sempre.

A truly great organ concerto -- magnificent in conception, and magnificent in execution.

Have not heard this work before... thanks for the introduction. Impressive performance. Now I shall look for other of your performances.

La obra y la performance todas muy lindas!!! Felicitaciones!!!

My orchestra just performed this magnificent work, and I'm definitely looking forward to performing it again tomorrow. That organ sends chills down my spine. . . 😱

Sustaining temporary vision problems I am writing here in addition that Francois Poulenc,and this Organ Concerto is my favourite organ work of all time! Beautifuly performed. but BOO to RU-vid and their capitalist advert interruptopns!

I’m going to chetham’s school of music in Manchester to study organ and I really hope I get to play this at some point!

No me quiero imaginar escucharlo ahí en directo. Espectacular!

Congratulation for this wounderfuel,perfect Sound .And to the Cathedral of Léon. Soli Deo onor et Gloria

I performed this with a double string quartet and timp..I wish I had this orchestra...and this organ. I played a wonderful 37 rank Aeolian Skinner but I would have loved more colors which you were able to add! Superb performance!

Beautiful! Magnificent! I love Poulenc. Thank you for sharing this glorious performance.

A true delight that this magnificent work, so brilliantly interpreted! Thank you for sharing this high artistic and musical quality. Cordially .

Un des plus grands chefs-d'œuvre de la musique du 20ème siècle, et ce n'est pas le seul que l'on doit à Poulenc, interprété magistralement. Merci pour le partage.

interesting composition, with lots of comings and goings Thank you

Awesome! I love this entire performance! Pity one can't find orchestra back tracks for pipe organ... It brings the pipe organ to life and this concert redefine the pipe organ.... Thinking out of the box! Just awesome!

I've never been much on organ music. But when I heard this decades ago I loved it. Poulenc first got my attention with his double Piano Concerto. He was quite the outsider, innovator. Worth listening to, if just for something different. The interrupting political ad is offensive.

Great performance! Love the sound of the organ in this Cathedral. Well Done.

Wow!: I heard live but not in a church. very good organ concerto

The faster sections originally struck me as a tad poky, but I've since learned that the Leon Cathedral is HUGE, so the soloist was probably respecting the room's acoustics.

Stupendo!!

This is a big, bold and passionate performance of the concerto. I have watched and listened to several performances recently and this is the most impressive.

Maravilloso, virtuoso, talento puro....

Magnificent - a monumental achievement of pure brilliance by the composer Poulenc & the tremendous performance by Daniel Oyarzabel to bring this to life with skill & the power of his execution! BRAVO! !

You are very good and Poulenc is really brilliant. My choir sang "Les Tisserands" in quarantine style. Write this down in the research. You will love it for sure: Corale Novarmonia - Les Tisserands (F. Poulenc)

Fantastic piece of music, great video and audio. A++

Bravo!!! Maestro!!!

I always enjoy some of the inane comments that are posted such as " a little pompous", "too animated". I take it that the people that are making these comments are not musicians or artists of any type. It takes great skill to play the organ this way, or any musical instrument, and most artists/musicians put their emotion into the piece they are playing and usually it shows in the movements of their bodies. If they didn't, I do believe the music would sound flat.

I love !

Is this one of the best recordings I have ever heard of this work? for me it was amazing!

Wonderful - the organ sounds just right.

Fucking wonderful!!!! We need to hear this great work more often. Thanks for sharing all your wonderful skills and education. All of you (s)... orchestra and conductor included. !!

precioso el concierto y la catedral

Lovely Performance - brilliant playing all round. SHAME about the advertisements, but I guess you have to pay your way!

Audience looks clueless.

Nice performance. Very good sound, but very narrow dynamical diapason, as I hear. It is live record, may be to turn off the dinamic processing (or to do it in lesser scale)? Sound will be more rude, but more expressive.

Super Film🎹 Music for a Horror-Blockbuster 👌 👀

Well played. But who are the orchestra and its director? What was the rest of the programme?

Once again those rude photographers taking pictures with their noisy cams SCHLACK-SCHLACK...SCHLACK-SCHLACK. Definitely unacceptable! They should be allowed to access the concert hall ONLY if their cam(s) have a silent operation mode. Otherwise: out!

L'orgue de la belle cathédrale de Léon a un très beau son .. Mais la réverbération assez forte surtout durant la première moitié du concert , elle s'estompe , cela noie le son et la grande rapidité d'exécution de l'organiste à certains moments (et des cordes obligées de suivre une course) ne font qu'amplifier le problème il me semble , peut être me trompe rais je ?

hwitch ochrtesra si aplyign?

Höhepunkt der Langeweile, am Kulminationspunkt des Werkes. Einfach darüber hinweggesaut. Null Spannung. Fällt mir grad schwer, mich nicht ein bisschen aufzuregen. Wie kann man nur. Meine Güte, mit Dynamik (Vor- und Nachgeben des Tempos in kleinen Bögen) kann dieser Orgasmus so spannend gestaltet werden, als wie es ein Orgasmus nur sein kann. Aber einfach schnell schnell darüberhinweggeschwafelt...sind es nur hingeworfenen Töne.

I love how this parody of a Bach toccata breaks out into a totally French sounding cabaret dance.

This whole work is an act of rebellion against the Nazis. That means a great rebellion against the great mordent of Bach A-G-A... in relationship to the Toccata and Fugue in D minor. Francis defied the structures of the German authorities both musical and governmental. This whole work is an act of rebellion. Listen. He threw Pigall at them. He makes it soft when they said make it loud. He slowed it down when they said make it faster. He not only broke the rules, he shit on them. This was done on purpose. This work will stand on it own not only as a supreme work of genius but as a work of great beauty. Fuck... the great mordent. Freedom lives!!! Breathe it in. Freedom comes with a price, a great price. Some have paid this price more than others. The comfort of little things, the smell of fresh bake bread, the ability to wonder, etc., etc. Joy is a wonder. Listen and learn. CVD

Buuu

Klanglich alles ganz prima. Das Orchester hat die Musik verstanden, toll. Die Orgel. Naja. Wie wäre es, Agogik einzubringen? In meinem Ohr (ich habe das Werk auch gespielt) eine langweweilende Orgel.

That organist was a little pompous The organ sounds pretty good. Remember folks - the sound of the organ and orchestra depends on the final mix of the master tapes.

I've given this video a down-vote because of commercial interruptions.

Rien à dire sur l'interprétation; en revanche, les couleurs complètement impersonnelles de cet orgue gâchent un peu le tableau.

something miss

terrible timing!

A morbid, mediocre work.
