Non ,je ne trouve pas que le tempo est trop vite. Au contraire, ça donne un effet brilliante et éclatante. Cést un peu un maladie de notre temps que jouer lentement est consideré comme plus musicale. Dans les anneés trente les tempi etait généralement beaucoup plus vite.
Widor's tempo marking is 118 bpm. This performance fluctuates between 128 bpm (when manuals alone play) down to 114 bpm (when the pedal theme enters). Of course, music isn't to be a 'paint-by-numbers' affair; the test is, do the chosen tempi work to the proper artistic effect? This brings in considerations of the particular instrument being played, the chosen articulations and registrations, and the acoustic environment in which the performance takes place.
(continued) Let's also remember to place this movement, if possible, into context as the exuberant conclusion to a multi-movement work; all fifth symphonies, you will find, have extravagant tempi at the conclusion - Beethoven, Mahler, Shostakovich, and, yes, I agree with this performer, Widor as well.
It is from a DVD, from Johannus organ builders. It is a company wich makes electric organs, so actually, this is a replica of a Cavaillé-Coll. An electrical one. At that very same DVD there is also an English based organ connected to that system.
Exquisite!!!!!!!!

I totally agree with you. I also like how the video shows the foot pedals -- it displays the true complexity of the song.
