I am a lifelong organist, and I tell you true, young man - your articulation is *immaculate*. The best I've ever heard. Your interpretation of the piece is also excellent. BRAVISSIMO!
A really tremendous video, and in beautiful, clean sound! The haunting transition beginning at 2:10 is absolutely spellbinding. Thank you for this wonderful performance of the Toccata!
I find it fascinating how you almost become programmed into liking something. I grew up listening to Nicholas Danby's version from Blenheim Palace (1968). I was 5 at the time and played the record to death and have loved the sound of the organ ever since. Jonathan Scott's version is outstanding and no doubt if I had heard that aged 5 it would have become my favourite version. Great stuff!
played with technical perfection and considerable finesse - triumphant! on a very bright instrument. this is a physically demanding piece - beautifully rendered.
Outstanding! It wasn't just played, it was performed! This is an awesome demonstration of the ability of the organist to play the piece, but also to masterfully manage the instrument. Very nice.
