    This organist is fantastic, but it was just as enjoyable to watch the registrant!! He seemed to have that choreographed! Nice to have someone that dedicated to the performance knowing when and what to do!!! I have watched this over and over. Love it!!!

    This is an amazing performance. So many organists butcher the pulse of this piece in favour of speed - but this peformer really brings out the musicality of Widor.

    • @digidol52
      @digidol52 Месяц назад +1

      I've just found an old film of Widor performing this, in the 1930s I think. The tempo is quite stately and nothing like the usual mad dash we get these days.

    FANTASTIC, I so enjoy this piece, thank you Janez you are so talented. Brings back memories. You could almost be a twin to whom I knew who played it years ago. He too played in his socks. Great organists. 🙏🏽😊

    Magnificent rendition. A truly marvelous piece of music, brought to life by the organist and the registrant.

  • @smcracraft
    @smcracraft 10 лет назад +177

    This is probably about as close a rendition to Widor's original, with all the stops carefully done (most impressive), which I have seen. As a performer of this piece (at Stanford University both in Memorial Church and at the Knuth tracker organ and as a student of Professor Herbert Nanney's, Department of Music), I can tell you, this is a very serious professional recording of the highest quality and artistic endeavor in front of a live audience. Top kudos to both the organist and the stop-expert!!!!!! Stuart Cracraft

    This is by far one of the bed version's ive heard on RUclips. Its nice when they're slowed down so you can actually enjoy the music instead of wonder if the organists fingers will catch on fire from moving so fast.

    Very impressed by his playing ( and he is so young yet), and did yet someone notice he hasn't a note script in front of him, he does it al from memory.
    I don't agree with people saying too much messing with stops, in my opinion it ads to the dynamics of this piece, and pulling and pushing the stops is excellent performed.

    • @musicisitall

    Well, young fellow. Where have you been hiding? What a wonderful performance of this piece. Have you learned all of the 5th symphony. In you socks, no less. Well, good for you. After all, you don't wear coverings on your fingers, why should the feet be different. But the greatest feat of all - From Memory. Wonderful. Perfect, astounding. Now Fly into the wonderful world of French Symphonic music. At the last two chors, hold both a little longer - the grand French finale.

    Well I've heard many versions of Widor's Toccata but this one is absolutely excellent, and from memory too. Played very nicely with good timing and the management of the stops very good indeed. It's a great example of how the phrase "pull out all the stops" came about. Janez, I hope to hear lots more from you in the future. Well done!

    The registrants selections of stops was the most brilliant and lavash I ever heard. He created new depths of interest that can be found in W.'s Toccata. That being said, this kid needs a larger auditorium ( with reverb ). Dear Dr. Miklavcic... as you well know, that will mean enlarging his sense of staccato in the pedal. Every room is different. And it takes time to hear and... learn... the unique acoustics qualities of a room, particularly a full foot-ball size cathedral. Congratulations all around including your sound and video recording team. Great work. CVD

    Beautiful interpretation of Widor's Toccata. I haven't seen such a good performance nor heard an interpretation of such high quality of this for a loooong time!

    I am a practical man in my career all my life but somehow this playing and listening stimulates the mind into action
    The playing of organ starts quiet and keeps repeating chords that finish to almighty powerfull ,all consuming attention.
    A FEEL GOOD experience to me,this is the only way as a older man I can express enjoyment and will never tire of listening again and again👍👍

Click on "view PDF", and the score will show up (7 pages). I'm not a computer whiz, but I think you can download it to print it off. If you can, try to enlarge the score, and hopefully it will be easier?? to read.

Here 60 years later and I recall how it gave me goose bumps and made the hair stand up on my arms. I was hooked on pipe organ music thereafter. Seeing how the stops are handled and the voices changing makes a difference in appreciation.

    This brought back some brilliant memories for me of watching my Choir Master, Mr David McCarthy, playing this (my favourite piece), sometimes, on the chapel organ on a Sunday morning, as the congregation left (and missed all the best of it!) As well as being a chorister, I was lucky enough to be his page-turner in the fifth and lower sixth form (1970s, Woodhouse Grove School, Bradford, West Yorkshire, UK).
    Thank-you for this (and also thanks for playing at the same pace, which is the perfect one, to my ears!) 👍

    I just wish he had some bright colored socks on while playing this piece. Loved it!

    Really lovely. Enjoyable tempo and splendid artistry. Was there ever a better demonstration for the need of combination pistons and a crescendo pedal though?!

      Apparently the instrument has combination action noting the foot piston. He may not know how to use them. Also, there are plenty of instruments that have stop pullers and registration assistants especially in Europe. One should learn how to work without all those combinations then add in the conveniences.

    Excellent! Many of us play this far too fast, in order to "hide" the notes we can't quite manage!! Here every one note sings perfectly.

    This is the third performance of the Toccata from Widor's 5th Symphony I have viewed over the past hour on YT. The others were from the Amsterdam Concertgebouw and St. Baafs Kathedraal in Gent. But this tops them and others I have listened to over the years! I hope all has been going well for you since this was posted! Best Wishes from Washington, DC.
