    This is the finest of organ-playing, JoEllen doesn't look at her feet on the pedals at all, has this entire symphony in memory, while producing this majestic performance with good selections of registration, swell pedal, etc. She has learned from masters! many thanks to all, for this performance and video! Greetings from Canada!

    What a master piece for organ by Widor - and what a performance from organist JoEllen West - delivered straight into my home! Some things in life exceed other things, and listening to this is for me, one of those things. Marvellous, 😢. 0:58

    So talented and disciplined. This is one of my favorite pieces, I have played it for years. First on my cassette player, then on CD. I had difficulty learning how to do that!
    All kidding aside, You perform this piece with obvious love. I am in awe of your talent, technique and stage presence. My best wished for a stupendous career. May it always be fun. Always.

      Thank you- this means so much. I haven’t tried playing it on cassette player yet; you’ll have to give me registration advice! 😉

    MARVELOUS! Wonderful execution of the 6th Symphony and also playing it by memory! This is probably the first time hearing Widor on this Skinner Organ and it was played by an amazing organist. Are you planning on playing Widor's 5th Symphony in recital soon? If so I'cant wait to hear you wonderful interpretation on the Toccata.

    Enhorabuena! Me encanta esta sinfonía (in fact it's my favourite one) y la has interpretado con mucha pasión y carácter, disfrutando del primer al último acorde.

    Excellent performance. Also playing from memory. I've noticed that Widor's music is popular among young organists. Is his music more challenging? I've also noticed all the young female organists on YT, mainly from America. Wish you all well as you continue to play the organ. I've subscribed & hope JoEllen gets more subscibers.

    • @joellenwest

      His symphonies can be quite complex, but I’d say they are played often due to their palatability and significance to the French romantic era. They’re elegant, yet showy- working well both in church and in concert programs.

    Congratulations. Beautifully performed with sensitive adherence to tempo, phrasing and dynamics. You fully deserve to have the opportunity of performing this Widor Symphony on a Cavaille Coll. Caen, Rouen or Paris perhaps?

    • @joellenwest
      @joellenwest  11 месяцев назад

      I hope to go to France this summer or next! I’d love the chance to play these movements on a Cavaillé-Coll. Thank you for listening!

    Dear Ellen, that is the most beautiful performance at that Symphony I ever heard. You are a very great organist and I subscriebed your channel. Kind regards Alex.

    happy to hear an American organist playing Widor in tempo, unlike the vast majority of her compatriots who confuse this music with a sporting performance. Americans always give the impression of risking missing the train.
    good job!

      I’m so glad you liked my tempos! Thanks so much for taking the time to listen.

    Tempo is wrong! And use the other manuals, will you!

    • @joellenwest
      @joellenwest  10 месяцев назад +1

      The tempo changes depending on the movement, and the manuals change frequently! Any spots in particular you’re thinking of?
