🎵 Duruflé - Prélude (Suite Pour Orgue) // Richard McVeigh

Maurice Duruflé considered his Prélude from 'Suite Pour Orgue' to be one of his finest compositions, and it is the piece he enjoyed playing the most.

It's easy to see why. The concept of this piece is relatively simple: a very stark opening, held together by pedal points whilst crescendoing to a huge climax, before a diminuendo down to the very dark, rich and sonours tonic key of E flat minor. Comparisons between this and Olivier Messiaen's 'Apparition de l'église éternelle' are quite apparent, regarding the musical form.

I hope you enjoy this performance of what is one of my all-time favourite pieces of organ music, entirely suitable for the season of Lent.

It was recorded on the Saint Ouen organ known as 'Aristide' using Hauptwerk: https://hauptwerk-organ.com/product/aristide.

Making money is not my primary objective. After expenses are taken into consideration, remaining revenue is invested back into BEAUTY IN SOUND. Audio and visual equipment is expensive, and I also pay a fair fee to all recitalists who appear on BIS. This is why I regularly ask YOU to help, and I’m sorry for having to do so. I hope that you can all see the tangible improvements being made to BIS along our shared journey.
