I LOVE that clicking sound the keys make.

Also, his fingers seem to never make a mistake. Ever.

Obviously Guilmant is good enough for Daniel Roth and good enough for me. I think Guilmant wrote from the heart and that is all a composer can do.

It's better to record an organ from downstairs where you can hear the real sound produced; of course then its hard to synchronize with the video! About Guilmant, he wrote many different types of pieces and his style evolved a lot too. He had an immense influence as a pedagogue and musicologist, and made Bach into the center of the organist's repertoire, where before Guilmant in the 19th century organists played more or less popular tunes of the day, he revived Bach and French classical organ..

WOW! What a wonderful historical record to have! How many opportunities does one have to stand next to Daneil Roth as he plays the Grande Orgue of St Sulpice!!!!! Just to even see AND HEAR the couplers doing their thing! I'm thrilled!

Meisterhaft gespielt, Jedoch technisch minderwertig konserviert !

What a lot of discussion has been stimulated by this little piece! Nobody would argue that it's great music, but it is quite wrong to dismiss it as worthless because, in someone's opinion, it isn't important in the history of music. It's warm, tuneful, sincere, well-crafted and appealing. And there's nothing wrong with that. Mr Roth, whom I respect as a musician, must think likewise as he chose to play it.
