i've never listened to organ music in my life but this was amazing, do you have any recs for a layperson such as myself to get into this kind of music with this kind of playing?
There's plenty of improvisations by Latry himself on Youtube (eg youtu.be/dxMkmOEkcBA?si) and by Pierre Cochereau, a forerunner at ND. Also pieces (some of them transcribed improvisations) by Vierne, Tournemire, Dupré, Langlais

It was a beautiful number... I can't see how anyone could complain about it. Makes me wonder if any of them actually listen to anything but famous Organ music
Even if that's the case, Latry is probably the most famous living organist
Erm, methinks they should have got a better organist than this Olivier Larry guy...
I’m here for the organist discussion! It was certainly not what I expected and at times I got the feeling you get at jazz gig improvisation parts when you start to worry if the soloist would find his way back and finish on the right note. That must have awoken the gargoyles
It definitely can be disorienting and that's part of what I like about it. Few things to me better capture the overwhelming strangeness and power of God better than 20thC French organ music (and Messiaen's music in general, e.g. his St. Francis opera)

Unfortunately organists did not make the right selection to play. It was a show off and ear scratching, woke music. The renovated organ was wasted on them!
It would have been great if they played pieces from Bach, Handel, Mozart, Beethoven, or Schuberts' Ave Maria at least!

The idea that the organ was renovated and then this random posse of organists came in and ruined it is also funny. They're the titulaires, they're supposed to be there!
I must be a turbonormie because I think the 'crescendo' sounds lazy and random. Didn't feel dramatic at all, just felt like he was mashing keys, no angels in the architecture.
*guy who’s never been inside a Catholic Church before voice* ummmm this organist sounds woke
It's becoming rather obvious who was raised CathoIic and who says they're CathoIic but only know the aesthetics
Not at all, but if I was totally unfamiliar with the French organ tradition I probably wouldn't opine on whether or not the music played at Notre Dame by a titular organist of Notre Dame was inappropriate, weird, etc. or not
12-tone equal temperament and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race
Crazy how so-called Trad Caths are disgusted by this: in most big churches you at least hear that during sacred music hours if not at Mass, they need stop LARPing and actually attend church
