C'est une merveilleuse improvisation ! Une sortie qui ne manque pas de donner des frissons ! Bravo et merci de nous partager un si beau moment musical !
One thing that very noticeably strikes me about his improvisation -- if I might say "that sticks out like a sore thumb", is this organist's harmonic idiom. It is from the late 1800s or the very early 1900s. There's nary a trace of dissonance, no modality (or poly-modality that I can detect), certainly no 12-tone row harmonics, no polytonal or quartal tones or chords that I can detect whatsoever. His harmony is a bit of a throwback to much earlier times. Perhaps some would say this is a good thing -- I choose not to comment on its merits or lack thereof, rather -- only to point out its extreme noticeability. I can think of no other French organist living, or deceased in the last 50 years or so -- who has harmony like this organist. It will be most interesting to see if he keeps this idiom over the years or if at any point he drifts in a more modern sounding (21st century sounding) direction. Thanks ever so much Thomas for the lively rhythms and bravura, fire, and energy of your improvising. It is much appreciated.
C’est une merveille une messe avec un grand jeu d’orgue Quand c’est le cas, je ressens la sainteté des lieux et j’ai juste envie d’y rester toute la journée
The versatilty of this organist and the organ are matched!
Merci cette très belle interprétation. Et vive le Basque bondissant de l orgue français de notre temps.
C'est une merveilleuse improvisation !
Une sortie qui ne manque pas de donner des frissons !

Époustouflant… Bravo Thomas Ospital ! Vous êtes un des plus brillants organiste de notre siècle !

Krásně Tomíno, jsi borec!❤
This has to be one of the most savage 32’ contrabombardes in the world. Utterly fantastic to listen to.
And it almost didn’t happen. They couldn’t afford it but the builder knew it should be there so they donated it and it’s a great one!
Wow. Like cavaille-coll building quints or donating one. Should be a priority item in my book!
Awesome! The worshipers who came to that Mass would be so happy! I really want to be there too!
Bravo👍👍👍👏👏👏
I could listen Mr. Ospital for hours! What a great artist.
It sounds liké a composed piece of music, not an improvisation. What an artist.
Bravo! Bravo Thomas! Merci!!!! Trés Fanatic! Et trés beau!!!
C’est une merveille une messe avec un grand jeu d’orgue

Tres bien Thomas🎉et grand Merci
In the style of Widor it seems. Brilliant either way
Fast and furious, another exciting performance after the wonderful concert in Saint Eustache yesterday. C'est magnifique!
I love that organ and Thomas playing it!
Plutôt Guilmant que Franck ou Widor❤
Il y a des 3 là dedans !! À la fois des inspirations de Guilmant, Widor et Franck à mon sens
Quel génie !
Thank you. Wonderful. From an island in Lake Superior.
Très gracieuze et impressive! Merci beaucoup!!!
Wonderful Like Widor
