  • breakneck speed as usual

  • Amazing performance. I love the bracing tempo. 

  • It feels more easy to die now when I have heard this.

  • @darthsideous1968 I Know right!!!!! Its simply not fair!!!!!

  • @quinn244

    She makes it look so easy.

  • @darthsideous1968 LOL I thing the only way I'd be able to play this well is if i studied organ all my life...... I want to learn the organ so much. I already play the piano and love it but i want to learn the organ to.

  • @quinn244

    Me to!

    I wish I could sit down in front of the organ and just play with the same talent that she possesses!

    Wishful thinking on my part.

  • @darthsideous1968 I see your point. I just wish I could play some of the amazing organs she's played.

  • @quinn244

    I can totally appreciate this.

    I actually was listening to some slower versions of the Widor Toccata and can see where the slower version is better in many ways. I also understand there is a little argument going on about whether or not the slower version is the original vs the faster version Diane is playing here? In either case both versions have great appeal and majesty. The reason why I am sadly "hooked" on this version of the Toccata is because this was the first version I heard.
