The Beauty of the Harmonic Flute - Widor's magical moderato cantabile: (Symphony 8.2)

Jerry Martin Widor's Eighth Symphony for Organ is a masterpiece of the Romantic era, and its second movement, Moderato Cantabile, is particularly enchanting. In this video, I showcase the incredible capabilities of the Flûte harmonique (harmonic flute) stop, which creates a unique and hauntingly beautiful sound. Despite minimal registration changes throughout the movement, Widor's genius shines through, taking us on a journey through a dreamlike musical landscape. Fun fact: Widor himself performed this symphony at the 1889 Paris Exposition, where it was a highlight of the event. I recorded my performance on the sampleset of Cathédrale Notre-Dame-de-l'Annonciation in Nancy, France using Hauptwerk VII. I hope you enjoy this performance!
