Overview

Witness a historic moment in musical history with Bach to the Future, a stunning recital by Olivier Latry, one of the three titular organists of Notre-Dame de Paris. This recording is profoundly significant as it captures the final sounds of the cathedral's legendary Great Organ just three months before the devastating fire of April 2019.

Latry takes a bold, "transcendental" approach to J.S. Bach, utilizing the massive sonic palette of the 8,000-pipe Cavaillé-Coll organ. Rather than strictly following period-correct Baroque constraints, Latry leans into the instrument's symphonic power and the cathedral's iconic seven-second reverberation. The result is a vibrant, modern bridge between the 18th and 21st centuries. From the thundering Toccata and Fugue in D minor to the delicate Choral Herzlich tut mich verlangen, this disc is an immersive experience that pays tribute to the enduring spirit of Bach and the architectural majesty of Notre-Dame.

Interesting Facts

• The Last Recording: This is the very last commercial recording made on the Grand Organ of Notre-Dame before the spire collapse and fire. It serves as a vital sonic document of the organ's voice before its multi-year restoration.
• Paradoxical Bach: Latry deliberately chose to play Protestant masterworks by Bach in the heart of French Catholicism. He argues that Bach’s music is "timeless" and can adapt to the symphonic "colors" of a 19th-century organ.
• Stokowski Influence: For the famous Toccata and Fugue in D minor, Latry drew inspiration from Leopold Stokowski’s legendary orchestral arrangements, aiming for a "technicolor" sound rather than a dry academic one.
• Bell-Like Tones: In the chorale In dir ist Freude, Latry utilizes the organ's rare "jeu de cloches" (chime stops) to emphasize the festive, bell-like character of the piece.
