Dear Petra, It was indeed time to share this unique level of artistic expression with the world. I have listened to a gazillion performances of this piece but I have never encountered such a subtle approach and mastery of the technical matters. Please continue the good work, the world deserves to know this organ in Delft and its titularis, both being of world class.
I agree with those who say they can tell in the first two measures of this piece if it's going to be a good performance. Petra, brava to you. I hope you get to Atlanta, GA USA to perform for us...brilliant!
I listen to your post weekly. One would think you were a Franck student. Of course we know you were not, but I would bet the master would be so pleased. Just superb. The standard which any student could learn from.
This is not an easy piece and you play it like a master. If a student wishes to know how to play this piece, they need to listen to this post. Your rendition is #1 on You Tube , in my humble estimation.
Beste mevrouw Veenswijk, Prachtig vertolkt op een prachtig vol klinkend orgel. Gelukkig woon ik dichtbij Delft en heb u al eens live horen spelen. Maarschalkerweerd heeft een keur aan prachtige orgels gebouwd waarop het Franse repertoire goed tot zijn recht komt.
This piece, est ist mein hertz, und mein geist!! You rendered a wonderful performance of this Chorale, which sadly collects dust in the past. Hope to get a letter to the new (finally) impressive conductor of the Philadelphia Orchestra to transcribe this, like "Stokey" transcribed the Toccata and Passacaglia. It is a really difficult piece to play. You performed it wonderfully. Thanks.
well we're a little bit afraid to have to tell you that M.Maarschalkerweerd died in 1915, and that this exclusive instrument was built in Delft in 1893, just a short three years after Franck's death.
@@keescanalfp5143 ...yeah did a little extra checking and found that out. Still amazing to find such a fine example of French Romantic Organ design in another nation by another builder, particularly one of that era. This instrument has definitely been well cared for as it looks "new". Here in the States if it's old it gets replaced or rebuilt into something different instead of faithfully restored. We have so few old mechanical action instruments in their original form and specification save for a few in the east from the colonial days.
- and yet it could have been done by, for instance, by someone who doesn't like the organ much. you might suppose that it has been done, just look for that..
horror/thriller author at amazon.com books sez: I'm sorry but this version is just TOO SLOW, lacking the dramatic impact of THE definitive version: Marie Claire-Alain on the Cavaille-Coll at Reims Cathedral (which you can find on "Cesar Franck: Great Organ Works," Erato).
Deze uitvoering op dit sublieme orgel is van de hoogst denkbare kwaliteit.

Bravo performance! This is one of Franck’s masterpieces. Too bad not to hear it in person!!

Hello Mrs. Veenswijk, you are playing beautiful, I pray god one day you could give a concert in Mexico City.
Oh and the Vox humana OMG. my favorite stop!

A trick: watch series on Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching all kinds of movies lately.
@Keenan Aden yea, I have been using Flixzone} for months myself :D
Beautiful! And lovely photography as well.

Potjandorie! Je vergeet haast dat er zo'n mooi orgel in Delft staat. Prima opgenomen en gefilmd, overigens. Groet, Rolf, Delft.
Prachtig stuk , prachtig uitgevoerd op een prachtig orgel .
Hartelijk dank Petra Veenswijk. Ik heb ervan genoten!
Ook een prachtig orgel daar in Delft.
Absolutely lovely.
A beautiful performance.

So beautiful
..holy carp, even the keyboards are Cavaillé-Coll. What a wonderful instrument.
...the voix humaine is exquisite.
...and it has ventils.
you can tell us that there are organs without them.
!
Nice timbre sounds and "Ghost Cesar" in 6:57 :)
Prachtig!
..amazing to hear that today's organ builders are embracing the wonderful tonal designs of the great Aristide Cavaillé-Coll.

Nicely done. Nice pace. perhaps a little more use of expression with the stop changes to affect more dynamic - still nicely done.
Subliem! ♥️
this piece is tough to play. I wish someone would transcribe it to orchestra.
It would loose it magic I think
- and yet it could have been done by, for instance, by someone who doesn't like the organ much. you might suppose that it has been done, just look for that..
9+ na 10 :D
..where is this performed?
well, in the church mentioned above. that is, in the city of Delft, Nederland.
