It feels like I'm going to heaven while laying down and watching on RUclips channel and listening 🎧
What amazes me about how Diane plays this piece isn't the tempo,but it's in how she makes it seem so very effortless.Superb.It must have been truly special having Diane playing for so many years at Coral Ridge.She is an inspiration to many including myself and the wonderful Samuel Metzger as well.
A juicy take on a classic piece. Who cares what Widor thought - the old boy's been pushing daisies for years. He gave the world this great music to enjoy, and thanks to Diane Bish and the wonders of RUclips, we can all enjoy it. If people don't like this performance, there are always other interpretations.
this is the best ever it's diane bish or nothing.xxx
You've never heard of Olivier Latry i presume
@@louisetaylor3110 A very American point of view.
It’s good to have different interpretations of a piece, who cares if it’s too fast or too slow, the more renditions the better
I like it, a marvellous pieceI have heaI stillrd over a period of 70 years or so, as I used to turn the pages fir my organist - brother, on a regular basis, & derived so much from doing so.I think it was my favourite music in those days.I do still enjoy listening, as I am doing with Dianne.Well done
@@chrisraffen5980This work often played as the postsalute at Easter. Ethereal.
The time comes, as here, when the "interprétation" shows no understanding or feeling for the music, but rather seems an ego trip on how fast the organist can race through the piece. There is an interprétation on RUclips "York Minster's Grand Organ - Toccata (Symphony for organ No 5) Charles Marie Vidor", which shows how well this great composition can be interpréted.
Outstanding!!!! The tempo is exciting. Shows her tremendous skills. Thank you Ms. Bish!!!
i feel heaven when i heard widor toccata
beautiful registration. breathtaking
I was in Ulm and saw the church. Amazing. How can one not get chills of pleasure at the fantastic sound of this piece and that stupendous organ?! Oh what I would give to have heard this performance there in person! Hey - she likes to play the pieces with spirit. You GO girl!!!
Absolutely God inspired performance...Dians Bish lifts the soul Heavenward with this scintillating performance of VidorsToccata. Wondeful organist.
My favorite piece played by my favorite organist. Brava Diane! Your mastery was my original inspiration for becoming an organist. Whenever I need to find out how to play a piece, you're the first reference I look to. This episode of The Joy of Music is why I play the Widor in the same manor as you do: full of fire and passion!
Fabulous a fairy tale of beauty and majesty. I loved it.
Beautiful! The piece was played perfectly, and on a beautiful organ as well!
Thank you for sharing your talent with us Ms. Bish.
That bright reed on those final two chords !
Majestic
Why play this piece so fast? Best reason, CAUSE YOU CAN! This is my most favorite work in all the world. Most organist on a local level struggle to make it through it! I LOVE THE SPEED. I doubt Widor would approve but DANG! She has spoiled me. Every other recording makes it sound like dirge for me! To me this screams Glory to God in the Highest! And by the way, dear organist, get me there quick! Thank you Diane!!!
Amen!
This lady is wonderful. . . well done Diana Bish
In 1970 when I began playing the Widor, a faster than allegro tempo was just about the way we all played it, if we could.
Great to hear a variety of different interpretations of this organ work
And it feels beautiful awesome music and inspiring music 🎶🎵 and healing for the heart and mind 🙏
this is beautiful inspiring music, thank you so much
I love everything about this video!
I personally love this interpretation. A brisk 4/2 makes this piece jump much more than what was originally intended for it. Usually, I'd say don't play the piece faster when it degrades the quality of the music, but seeing as this may be one of the most flawless performances of the piece I've seen even at this tempo, I think it's magnificent
This is how we like it, like that favorite coffee you had in Italy...yumeeee.
thanks for this post, i was having a bad day til now.
Wonderful, Miss Bish!!!
Superb. Thank you.
Más que brillante , emocionante y hermosa,gracias ,bendiciones .
Diane Fish brings such expression and love to music she master not only the great organ with brilliance like few are able. Looking forward to listening to more of her performances.
There is nothing Fishy about Diane or her performance.
From now on I'll start paying more attention to Widor's works.
As with all her videos, very nicely done and interpreted. It may be faster than original, but it is very inspiring. It takes a lot of skill and talent to play these instruments. I'm a marimbist and carilloneur myself. The only real problem is the ads with the puke music before her videos. Keep up the excellent work Diane!
Amazing moved me to tears❤️
You are right, she does make it look easy. True professionals always make it look easy. I listen to this piece at least once a month.
Superb!
Amazing performance. I love the bracing tempo.
FABULOUS!! All Praise, Honor, Laud, and Glory to the King of Kings, Jesus Christ our Saviour. Thank you for posting for an invalid like me who will never ever get to see the Cathedral or hear this magnificent organ live. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Martha Argerich of the organ!
Such tremendous energy, such virtuosity. This is simply on another level.
For what it's worth, I think this is the best performance of that piece I've ever heard. All the others sound dull now in comparison. Bish has set a new standard, and no organist can ever go back to the plodding tempo choices of earlier generations now.
Me as a musician: brilliant cadences, great performance
Me as a human: great music in a giant church
i think she hit the speed of light barrier there
What a performance of this masterpiece !! Incredible is the speed . Well done ! Thankyou. Greetings from Holland.
Diane Bish always plays this like she's a human fire emoji. Love it!
Love how that tempo seems to sync up with the vhs tape flicker rate!
Superb, exciting performance. Not too fast at all!
you are right not to fast at all just perfect. to those who said to fast no way...xxx
Different opinions, none of them wrong
Louise Taylor sill can’t tell if any of this is sarcasm lol
Wow, that's what I call temperament
-- I"ve rarely heard such a rapid
version of this true masterpiece!
No apologies: peak Diane. The tissue lamé pants, the metallic shoes, the flying fingers and rings. Was music ever this joyful? Swooning. . . .
Magnificent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brava!
best recording of this piece I've ever heard. It's not too fast - it's exuberant, which is the way it should be.
I think the faster tempo recordings let you sort of make yourself feel the long heavy bass of that secondary motive. The slower are generally making you feel the dance of those hands. Beautiful both ways. I’d take this down a few BPMs but she plays it so well.
When played back at 75% speed, it seems to be normal tempo compared with the performances that other organists produce. However, due to limitations in RUclips's software, the sound becomes fragmented in nature. The digitally altered quality of sound is bizarrely captivating.
GREAT.
The large pipes really make the instrument pulse and take a lot of air to drive , I like electronic dance music but my first love is the baroque classics on the organ
she should play this with 4 mechanical couplers...:D
lol
With full organ on swell div. :)
vocalissimo1's comment about Widor's recording. I had no idea that he was actually a modern (20th century) composer. His music is so classical. His family built organs. This organ truly does this piece justice (as does Bish).
GREAT
0:36-5:09 Net duration : 4:33 Magnificent instrument
Riveting performance! Sure, it is on the brisk side, but if you want people to listen to most organ music, you have to captivate them, and Diane does just that. Widor would have approved.
Wall of sound.
This is the church where one of the great German composers and organists worked! Of course, I am talking about Herr Gambolputty de von Ausfern- schplenden- schlitter- crasscrenbon- fried- digger- dingle- dangle- dongle- dungle- burstein- von- knacker- thrasher- apple- banger- horowitz- ticolensic- grander- knotty- spelltinkle- grandlich- grumblemeyer- spelterwasser- kurstlich- himbleeisen- bahnwagen- gutenabend- bitte- ein- nürnburger- bratwustle- gerspurten- mitz- weimache- luber- hundsfut- gumberaber- shönedanker- kalbsfleisch- mittler- aucher von Hautkopft of Ulm!
IF you could, you would too!
It sounds like a good speed. You also have to remember that she has to put all the songs she wants to play with in a 30 minute time line.
What’s the point in cramming as many songs as you put it into her half hour slot, better to play 5 well, than 7 shockingly awful
Ahh is that the reason. Can't have a musical masterpiece get in the way of the commercial break. How very American!
THE SPEED IS VERY GOOD! HOW MANY SOUNDS HAVE THIS ORGAN?
THANK YOU, DIANE!
the organ's queen
My aunt was married in that church
Ludicrous Speed!
Playyyyyy 🎵🎶🎶🎵😊
A complete blur! There is a video on RUclips of Widor playing this at the Eglise Saint-Sulpice. Length of his performance (with no introductory remarks): 7 minutes.
I think she may have broken the sound barrier.
According to me, it is too fast ; Widor played it slowly ! This organ is so marvelous !
If you listen carefully at 0:35 you can hear the start of the Boellmann Toccata :P
❤❤❤❤🌟🌟🌟🌟👍👍👍👍
❤👍👍😘🌹🌿🌹..!!!!❤❤❤
très bon et très bonne vitesse cela prouve une certaine maîtrise de l'instrument et de dextérité.
The score is marked Allegro 120-168, not Presto, or in this case Prestissimo which is over 200.
Look in the score. There is Allegro 118 for the quarter note. Mrs. Bish here plays 138.
Proves that God is near and here in earth 🌎
@superssjdan1 Also what makes Diane so wonderful is how she shows tremendoes respect for the music and composer and never forgets what playing is all about...not about the show..not about the organist..nor the composer even.It's about respect and to Glorify God in all we do.I've seen many a petulant showoff organist who never realize why we all do what we do.If it's not to Glorify God it's pointless.It all comes through in the performance.God bless Diane for everything she has done in her career
@SuperBabel2 D.BABEL désirerait une traduction plus en adéquation avec son propos... merci !
@pertplus try moving them while playing this piece in 4 minutes flat! my normal tempo!
As I said on Widor's own recording, it's music, so it's subjective.
However, what I will say is that 'toccata' doesn't necessarily imply ridiculously fast music, and also, in the space she's playing, the notes don't sound nearly as clearly as they really should.
Also, I can stay awake during Widor's recording, so there's that.
But, again, it's _subjective._ Neither is 'right'.
Maybe it’s how she likes that piece to be played 🤷🏼♂️
@@luispinon5902 I did emphasise "subjective", although it is perplexing that she apparently prefers not to hear the notes.
Walcker built amazing organs, the one in Methuen MA is amazing despite the out of character tinkering by G Donald Harrison which Andover has gone through great pain to undo...
Agreed, Samuel! I prefer a bit slower so that the details are more pronounced. To fast, as though she can't wait to get to the end!
With 12 second acoustics in this building, if played any slower it wouldn't sound as good it does. Keep in mind that this video is probably around 30 years old. Recording technology is a might better these days.
I preferred a slower more articulated interpretation, but I think I can see why someone may like this fast tempo
I do like this tempo ^^
Same here, I think it's better played more slowly
As an organist, I play this piece every now and again. For a performance, I like this fast tempo, because it captivates the audience, and is lively. However, if I were to use it for a wedding recessional, or as a part of a ceremony, I would play it slower, as to not distract from the main attraction, the newly wed couple.
All musicality sacrificed in this jet-propelled version. A pity as the Ulm organ is a beauty.
In her performance, she's only going about 140bpm. Not that outrageous.
Music at 0:35
There is no cathedral in Ulm. This church is the Ulmer Muenster, or Ulm Minster in English. It is larger than many cathedrals, but it is no cathedral. To be a cathedral, the structure must contain a cathedra, which is the Bishop's ceremonial seat. There is no such seat in Ulm. This is a Lutheran Church, and a very large one.
The tempo is too fast in the particular video. She has other recordings where she is playing this piece slower.
RampGuy1
Geeez did she have to hurry to catch the Train home or what ? :(
Sehr flott, dadurch klingt es bißchen rummlig. Zudem verschwimmt das Stück im riesigen Kirchenraum. Natürlich toll gespielt.
i suggest people go listen to how its meant to be performed by a brilliant organist who can actually follow the scores directions for staccato - listen to "widor toccata at cathedral basilica newark" .......he plays it at a good speed- not too fast or slow, technique is incredible and he plays it staccato all the way through as instructed not like this blur of notes one cant even hear.................
widor on steroids...
Virtuosic, but too fast. It sounds like the organist is trying to set a new speed record. Widor's own recording of this is a minute and a half longer, and while this sounds quite slow these days, 5.30 is a bit of a race.
Interestingly, all the female organists I know, play this actually magical piece so emotionless and at a pace, as if they were sinking on the Titanic... Why is that so???!!! Speed, speed, speed... (just listen once to Peter Hurford's play and learn!)
You saying speed is bad or good?
she was angry that day. 😡😂😂😂
She used to crush grapes in a previous life 🤣
The TOCCATA from 5th Symphony is NOT an ETUDE but a wonderful piece of music.The organist has to take the right tempo to get tge best possible results.Miss,bish plays it like a very fast Etude
0:35
“It is not a race.” Charles Marie Widor
REMARQUABLE , bien que trop rapide, Me BISH a privilégiée le mouvement , ça se défends, sachant que cette piéce, selon la légende... fur composée dans un train (à vapeur) ? D.BABEL
Did she leave a meatloaf in the oven? Damn what's the hurry!
