Toccata in b minor by Gigout

Uploaded by organpower on Sep 6, 2010
October 25, 2010 marks the 30th anniversary of the passing of Virgil Fox. It gives me great pleasure to post several of the pieces I was privileged to study with him over the 10 years I spent as his student. In the spirit of 'honoring the master', I submit these performances in a style similar to his. They contain the essence of what he taught me about music in general and organ playing in particular.
In my youth I was often dismissively accused of being a "carbon copy" of Fox, but the fact is that I sought to study with him because I identified with his approach more than others that were accessible to me. Each of us "gets" music a little differently and that diversity keeps life interesting.
I owe Virgil Fox much. He turned my early interest in the organ into a passion for playing them and his touring organ sowed the seed for the eventual founding of Marshall & Ogletree. We all have heroes and he is certainly one of mine. Go Virgil!

Really solid playing, right up until the end........quirky ending! Gigout didn't write it that way, and it wasn't meant to be played that way!!

The Gigout Toccata is always fun to play, I have to say the electronic sounds pretty good to Moi, it's very good. Those small details like 'playing the room' make the warhorses light up.

FANTASTIC!!!! Virgil would be proud indeed. I especially appreciate the registration throughout the piece . . build . . build . . . then hammer it. You've even got Virgil's Riverside release at the end. Well done!!!
