Toccata (final) 5ème Symphonie de Ch Widor

[AnOrganCornucopia]

My God! This is the fastest I've ever heard this played! I must admit it's quite exhilarating, better than the average performance, but I prefer it taken at a funereal pace.

[NoDakBees]

I thought Frederick Hohman's version was too fast! There is a new recent upload of Frederick's performance. watch?v=LufMCmMe3xs

[maestro543]

stupid noobs there is a 32' Bombarde-Ophiclaide-Posuane-Se­rpent-Sordun-Kontrafagott-Dulz­ian-Tuba Profunda-called as you want

[octavegeigen4]

That Contre Bombarde 32' compares in power to the famous Cavaille-Coll Bombardes of St Ouen de Rouen!

[tjugofyra]

I don't hear a 32 Bombarde!?

i happen to know that this organ don't even have a 32', only a Basse 10 2/3 sounding like a 32'!

[GJmusique]

a quint that sounds in unison with 16' and 8' reeds? Interesting..!

[tjugofyra]

Is a "Basse" a reed?

No, i didn't think so!

Of course it's not...

This organ does not have any real 32´just a Basse 10 2/3 imitating a 32 Basse which is a flue stop.

[tjugofyra]

There is not 32' in this organ.

[Streetcar1743]

Well that is the way many of the great compsers wrote thier pieces. Toccatas are mostly fast pieces of music. And also they are pretty loud too.

[tjugofyra]

This organ does not have any 32'! :P

[advisorC101]

I'm surprised!

[tjugofyra]

Yeah, but it do has a powerful 16' reed and a very powerful 4'!

[advisorC101]

I'll trust your knowledge on the matter. :)

[epegoblue]

WOW, dude has skills with the organ. I like it fast like this AND slow. It seems when people play it fast it shows off THEIR skills, playing it slow shows off the organ.

[doesnotmatter1]

I agree, to fast.. its like a derby; "who's next?" Pitty... But, I wish I could play it that way....

[kempedkemp]

Great playing. Where's the fire you are rushing to? Would love to hear how it sounded in the nave.

[gazer88]

Rushing...

[earlwgreen]

BRAVO M. Strangis! C'est magnifique!

I love that tempo, especially on that organ. The very fact you alone register the console with the many Pédale de combinaison and keep the tempo going is excellent.

Now I want to play this instrument. I love playing on Cavaillé-Coll instruments but after hearing this, now also Merklin! I must get more info on this instrument.

Again, Bravo and Merci!

love the bit round 1:26 and i think it happens at another time in the piece aswell.

[DickyD123]

Very nice playing, but too fast! I don't want to be negative but this was definately not Widors intention for this piece, and suffers for it IMO. Once again only my opinion and I do not wish to be negative! Also an organist way out of my league so Im not really fit to complain!

[hmstitanic]

Ah, merci! Et, si j'osais, je vous demanderais une belle version de la Toccata de Gigout qui manque cruellement sur Youtube !

[2468HOTROD]

Truly this man's music is Fireworks. One of the best organists on Youtube for sure. Please keep the fireworks coming as grand as they are. Merry Christmas to all

[MartinHuijzer]

Sooooo fast, incredible. :D

[qw3rtydud3]

Wow!

Definately the best video of the Widor Toccata I've seen on youtube.

Brilliant performance!
