Sophie-Véronique Choplin plays Widor

[musicman33134]

Très bien joué--bien élégante interprétation de cet oeuvre. Bravo-

[CestPasMoi]

Entendre une si belle interprétation me confirme dans mon envie de travailler l'orgue ....!

[ears61]

bravo



[Mackaronni]

Mysitcal.....Melodious....Magn­ificant....True French Organ Music from the Hearts of Space....!

[klodg]

Respire bien sa musique.

Il doit-être quand même difficile de se concentrer aux moments ou la mécanique enterre la musique.

Bravo !

Sometimes I misread her name as Sophie-Véronique CHOPIN. Extremely beautiful playing.

[elainebmack]

I have been viewing many organists on YouTube for many months now, and as non-organist I am completely mystified as to how organists are able to do so much at once and still create such wonderful performances. Madame Sophie-Veronique is marvelous, and sthis piece sublime. I hope to have the privilege of hearing her perform live some day at St Sulpice.

[Vierne7037]

Absolutely gorgeous! This is one of the most beautiful pieces ever written for organ!

[waihoong11]

Beautiful! Is this Harmonique flute she's using mostly in the piece?

[GJmusique]

yes sir. the flute harmonique and some string stops. sheer beauty =)

[all1rog]

A superb performer. I wish there was more of her on YouTube

[FromHolbergsTime]

Some of the most sublime music ever composed for the symphonic organ. This is a most impressive performance on a fabulous instrument recorded in one of the grandest acoustic spaces on earth. This work simply resonates with profound reflections upon the highest elements of spiritual truth, great beauty and everlasting art.

si Dupré voyait cela...il gronderait (à sa façon) Rolande Falcinelli pour 'avoir pas insisté davantage sur la tenue au clavier

mais bon le texte est respecté, il y a au moins cela car le reste est fade pour ne pas dire aride, ce qui témoigne d'un manque de compréhension de ce magnifique morceau.

on n'a jamais fini d'apprendre Sophie...ne l'oublie pas...l'improvisation c'est bien, mais comprendre ce que l'on joue c'est aussi important

me semble t il

[benenoit]

Qui êtes vous pour critiquer son jeu et ça tenue au clavier ?

[and3583]

N'importe qui qui aime la musique peut te dire que ce qu'ils pensent à lui, devez-vous qualifier en tant que dentiste pour savoir si vos dents blessent ?

[sirapt]

@27bibi27 you're insane to make such comments about one of the worlds best organist.

[CestPasMoi]

First of all, this piece is not that difficult. It's beauty is in the feeling, as said elsewhere in this fill, in the "spiritual truth". Why would it be impossible for a non professional, but serious player, to give a good version of the piece. For an optional audience, or for himself/herself? Definitely, I don't feel that insane...

[organum74]

Once more, and like every time with Mme Choplin, very expressive interpretation, sensibility, subtlety... And Widor, Dupré, Vierne, on St Sulpice organ, it is Paradise on Earth !

[cordenuit74]

Bravissima! Very expressive; she plays as she was singing! many many compliments from Italy!

[alfingew]

That was beautiful! Thank you from Sweden!

[64ftContraBombarde]

omg, for a second i though that the great st. sulpuce flutes were out of tune! It turned out that it was just the tuning difference between this recording and one that i was just watching, Phew!

[orgelfan]

Dear Sophie,

this is the best performance i've ever heard of this wonderful piece. You're playing wonderful. And this wonderful organ sounds like a dream. I was in Saint Sulpice a month again. I've seen and heard the instrument at the 10.30 mass. It is my famost organ i know. Thank you for posting this video.

[bachprofessore]

But the version of Widor himself is also beautiful!

[4candles]

Yes it is!

[Diapasonic]

Dear Sophie. Widor & Dupré would have been so happy to hear you play.

[pianoandpipes]

I love Sophie!!!! Beautiful playing!

Love the interpretation and the tempo! I really feel that Widor should never be rushed - and I think most people play this too quickly...

This is such a wonderful video. Thanks for posting!

[MEPPO06]

Gorgeous playing.  Must go back to St-Sulpice and her her live again. Great stuff.

[codeman2008]

This must sound sooo lovely from the other end of the church, with all that reverb!

Such a beautiful piece, and a wonderful Performer!

[silentbugler]

the flute harm. and the recit fonds get me.. and she is such a lovely lady..

[Gball223]

Man, I've always thought of Cavaille-Coll organs as the grandest of the grand, but not necessarily the greatest when it comes to clarity. But her playing is so well-phrased that I'm hearing things in this piece that I hadn't ever heard before. Brava!

[widorfan]

ive actually played it and it wextremly difficult but yes it is very beautiful. very moving puiece of music. makes me cry

[redletterchurch]

I love Sophie's personality and expression...both personally and musically. No elite stuffiness here. Just genuine class. Go Sophie!

[florgano]

Thank you, Sophie-Véronique Choplin and thank you, Suplice1863. I would love to study with this beautiful organist!

[joeyboi87]

what a nice piece, Ive never actually heard this before, doesnt sound that easy!
