MARCEL DUPRÉ THE MERCURY LIVING PRESENCE RECORDINGS
Remastered Edition Int. Release 18 Sep. 2015
10 CDs
. . . compiled with tremendous care by Decca . . . the 80-year-old Dupré turns in a performance of his own "Symphonie-Passion", composed almost 40 years earlier, of a still-staggering dexterity and "élan vital". He dares tempi quicker than organists half his age, inflamed by the force of personality peculiar to a virtuoso composer-creator . . . Dupré's Bach represents another world . . . The style is certain, passed down like tablets of stone from teacher to pupil, the baseline rhythm less so, the feel for the melodic line unequivocal . . . [the widest palette of colours emerges through his] determination to terrace layers of melody and counterpoint with absolute clarity . . . Dupré's charisma is irresistible here, in two movements of his teacher Widor and the major works of his "grand-teacher" Franck . . . the Bourdon of Saint-Sulpice lends properly Wagnerian muscle to the "Grand pièce symphonique", the conclusion of which becomes a showcase for Dupré's phenomenal pedal technique. The packaging deserves more than a word: it is a model of its kind . . . music lovers of all stripes and, yes, even organists should find in this set much to enthral and instruct them.
A gem of a box-set . . . beautifully atmospheric . . .
The new Mercury/Dupré box set is a listening joy and helps ensure the preservation in high fidelity of these landmark recordings . . . organ bliss . . . one of the world's greatest organists playing one of the finest organs in the world . . . this is a very worthwhile set to add to one's collection.
