Boellmann Toccata

[silverstartrucker]

Daniel Chorzempa's version is brilliant...

[GermanoDeppe]

Remember it's not an easy piece! Some mistakes, but anyway, very good!

[menslady125]

I don't care what the guy's wearing. I just like the music.

[12www21]

yea there are many mistakes which i hear...

[towertooth456]

I think the speed sounded ok, just too many mistakes.

[cross147]

and where is the "D" in pedal on the begin? :|

[cross147]

TOO FAST!!!!!

[Till929]

It must be Fast but ending was too fast.

[pedalpusher00]

What not to wear....Any type of vestment with white gym socks. Tacky!!

[bachorg]

Troppo veloce, è perchè tutto legato? C'è scritto proprio "staccato" nell'originale...

Il pedale è davvero imperfetto. Il pedale è legato e li lo suona staccato...tutto il contrario. E poi salta un sacco di note al pedale.

[JOSEPHFGURA]

I am not against robes! I wear robes myself sometimes. But I am against that hurry! It's true that you are playing a Toccata, but you see? It's far from perfection. Not only the missing notes, but also when touching wrong notes. You are excellent organist with brilliant skills and I am more than sure that you can do it much better.

Keep it up and good luck!

My only comment is that you appear to be missing out the D in the opening pedal entry...?! And later the the A when it is in G Minor...! You get it right when the pedal is in octaves!

[codeman2008]

The comments on the robes... sheesh! If my memory serves me correctly, this is how most organists dress during church; along with the choir, lay ministers, acolytes etc.

Depending on the denomination, community, etc. The attire could be slightly different (i.e. different colors, patterns, it could be more 'fancy', or there could be a complete lack of robes...) It never crossed my mind that some people aren't accustomed to these robes, or at least, that they haven't seen them before... lol.

[ardsonneveld]

like his/her outfit. goes with the music sort of. feels like flying away if the rythm goes up a bit more.

[codeman2008]

Many organists, most I've seen anyway, wear robes during services... they usually match the robes that the choir wears, and sometimes the acolytes (If the denomination in question has acolytes, that is)...

I've seen a picture of Virgil Fox in robes like this...

This robe looks very similar to the one that my teacher wears during services...

[mrthompson878]

I played that in full band at band camp and I like the organ version much better and I also love the song. Good job with it.

[GlennKeefe36]

Great Playing

Keep it up

[mmmax92]

molto buono! una tecnica sopraffina del pedale, anche se ogni tanto non si sente qualche nota...great!

[JustinHEMI05]

Arguably the best on you tube. Very nice!

[fnersch]

Well Done!! Great phrasing and lovely foot work in the pedal.

[Reesman95]

Awsome Job, the only thing is it starts out pp not mp otherwise played very well

[faraway391]

pp refers to the Swell box and it was fully closed for most of the piece. Plus the piece needs a subtle fire or it looses much of its spunk.

[Reesman95]

Ya I guess it would soud pretty lame if you played iy on just strings or something

[hatstalker]

@Reesman95 And how do you propose to tell that to swell shutters sir?

[BeFrSc]

Fantastic Performence, I am interested to know what Pedal stops are being used there, sounds very spine tingeling.

[faraway391]

The pedal just had principal and flutes at 16' & 8' the spine tingeling sound is the Swell's 8' Trompette (Tuned to sound english) which is coupled down

[BeFrSc]

Great, i'll remember that. thanks, and keep it up.

[DiegoLiger]

Tuned to sound English? Eh?

Surely you mean voiced? English and French reeds have differant tongues....And if you have a Trompette in the swell box surely it should be voiced Gallicly with a lot of fire? English Trumpets tend to be less firey/brassey/free and a lot smoother.

[3NUNS]

And turns the leaves by hand....Good.

[charlescourtlayton]

Thats an awesome piece,im a organist and that sends shivers down my spine,love it

[Chesterbarnes1]

Whoever this organist is he does a good job. Where is this church? What organ is this name, and ranks.  Look like a 3 manuel? Help give us some answers FAREWAY 391. Good job!
