SUITE GOTHIQUE - TOCCATA - JONATHAN SCOTT - ORGAN

Organist Jonathan Scott performs the Toccata from Suite Gothique Op. 25 by Léon Boëllmann (1862-1897) on the 1895 T.C. Lewis Organ of The Albion Church, Ashton-under-lyne, UK. The work was composed in 1895 (The same year that this organ was completed) just two years before Boëllmann's early death at the age of 35.

@EccentricRichard - Now that you've ripped Jonathan Scott to shit, post a video of YOU playing the same piece. Show us exactly how it should be played.

At first I also thought this was too fast, but the precision is amazing, and I can hear all the notes, so...maybe it's NOT too fast. Play on!

Wonderful. But the walk in and out? Straight from John Scott Whiteley's Bach 21 C series. He just needs the pink shades and big coat!

Gorgeous and talented. Very jealous!

@TerranRepublic Yeah I agree with you. I love this piece but the Toccata should be quite a lot slower.

I think this sounds awesome. i could listen to this all day. I am amazed at his hands on those keys.

@EccentricRichard If the composer isn't a good judge of how his/her music should be played, then who the hell is?

Cool vid!  Came -played -went :-)

While I personally enjoy listening to this piece a little bit slower, Jonathan Scott is very talented and I certainly do not mind some variety in life. Excellent piece and performance!
