Really good, Chris. Your attention to details in the score, your registration choice, the tempo, the effortless 1/16ths.
For once the console seems pretty ergonomic.
I smiled a lot at the printed commentaries :))
They celebrate a complete Mass at the St Patrick's Easter Vigil????
Can't they wait until Jesus is properly resurrected?

Very nice indeed.....I thought it was the right tempo.....well played, with some sense of humor....BRAVO!!!!! Really enjoyed it. God Bless.

Not ripping fast like some, and yet not draggingly slow. Perfect tempo!! Thanks for posting after you had actually learned it. I hate it when people post videos when they still butcher the song. All you need to do now is go to Notre Dame!! lol Thanks!!

...oh boy - just a -bit- fast that first piece by 'Chris'^^... did he badly need to go to the lavatory or what... that Toccata by Widor can (for all its pomp and circumstance) be such an expressive and even romantic piece but here it was absolutely murdered: like listening to Maria Callas at 'Chipmunks'-speed... I'm -not- impressed... :(

Chris..you the man!!!

Enjoyed both versions...and for this medium, I also enjoyed the comments. As one who can barely handle two hands on one keyboard, utilizing multiple hand positions, feet position, and instrument "positions," all while playing nearly flawlessly is outstanding. I've heard this piece many, many times, and each time, I enjoy the musicians interpretation (some more than others...but all enjoyable nonetheless.) Thanks for sharing!

Is all that editing really necessary?

I'm guessing part of the reason that the sound becomes a bit muddy during the St. Patrick's recording is the introduction of the brass and timpani with full organ. This has become a "popular" version in recent years. Also remember that the 32' Bombarde unit at St. Patrick's speaks on very high wind pressure and there is a resultant 64' Garavissima that is often used in the Tutti II of the organ.

Who built the organ we're seeing at Eastman? I know that the organ at St. Patrick's in NYC is Kilgen, but the instrument at Eastman? I would realy like to know who built it.

sounded badly of the organ. but well played.
Yellan, don't be fresh. Show some respect for your elders. If I don't talk that much in class, it's because I can never get a word in edgewise! :o/
