...the best performance I have heard of this work A very appropriate and magnificent instrument as well which is steeped in the French style. Love the voix humaine in the middle portion of the adagio which imparts a sense of mysteriousness. and of course the build up before the variations was stirring.
Bravissimo!!!
Great performance mister Boothby.
Those strings on that organ are gorgeous
So articulate, yet flowing beautifully.
Anybody came from Netflix webserise “Move To Heaven "?
Great performance~!!!!!
Bravissimo!
WOW!!!
Awesome performance! Bravo!
A superb performance !
Great performance. Love the emphasis on the final few chords. Organ sounds amazing too

Lovely, and I love the organ
Your realization of it is gorgeous. Thank you.
I have used this several times over the years as an extended prelude for Longest Night (a.k.a., "Blue Christmas") services.
Beautiful foot work 🤩
I do not care for this arrangement at all.
Then don't watch it. It's a lovely romp in my opinion - combining three different melodies: SINE NOMINE, When the Saints Go Marching In, and SARUM (Barnby). Masterfully written, and masterfully performed. Heaven forbid we have a little fun with our hymn tunes. God does know how to smile, too.
@@davidminton5176 lol. I wont watch if you wont read my comment.
WOW.........
Hmmm..... Colin, what does it feel like to be talented AND gifted ? 👍😉🇬🇧
Terrific
Fantastic
Superb
Great playing and stunning instrument! I love Noack organs
I wish that more organ schools had flat pedalboards as opposed to AGO standard. I have noticed that the pedaling is slightly different (at least for me) when playing flat straight pedalboards. Wish I had played this lovely instrument and studied here.
Bravo!!
phantastic art of playing organ. perfect - marvellous - outstanding playing without scores - so amazing brilliant registrations high professional performance! 11/10 points it was a pleassure to see this vid! please more of this.
A beautifully crafted performance - appropriately restrained and reflective in tempo in the Prelude and you make it look effortless throughout. Fantastic playing!
The T&F is very personal. It displays you don't you think? It's packed full of goodies - all there for you to paint your picture - and to test you. You nailed the toccata 'as I like it'. And then the fugue. Key is the tempo. Bit like a race. So many fences to jump and the dialogue to expose. You used the registrations well. Particularly noticed ( and liked) the pedals driving the show towards the cadenza finale. If you can come out of it sweating and knowing you 'got it' - that's great. You got it and more. It's hard to make this this 'entertaining' but you did. NOW - for something you may wish to see- check on Fraser Gartmore's performance of Nov 2021 on the Rieger at Marienstatt Abbey. What do you reckon? Tempi again. He let the fugue tempo do something rather....unique.
Nice work! Thanks for sharing your art with us. You're always in calm control of the performance and use an admirably light physical touch that works well on that instrument. I look forward to hearing you play more in the future.
Great skill; immense musicianship; a Durufle special. Rare. And that calm spirit. Personally... wonderful ending; love the shoes - I never polished mine - testament and tribute to my great enjoyment. Subscribed. More to come?
Thank you so much!
A little too fast for my taste, but still well done!
Great performance! This is the closest thing we have to a Cavaille Coll organ here in the US
It's very similar, isn't it
Beautiful
Thank you Joe!
Very nice
Echoklaviatur divine
Durufle perfect
Sorry l mean prelude op. 5
Adagio so beutyful like op. 5 toccata etc, but a bit annoying in the end
But this is op. 4. If listeners were to just listen without the mind noise traffic of what it reminds them of, or what is "wrong" with the performance, and just focus on what IS there (in this case a beautiful performance on a beautiful instrument, of a beautiful piece of music) there is then more space for enjoyment...
Very well played, on a fantastic organ as well
Thank you - yes it's a wonderful instrument!
Huge fun! And this is honestly the first time I’ve ever heard the melody “For all the Saints” played with the feet! 👍
FROM MEMORY! Glad I sailed into Boothby Harbor to breathe some misty creative spirit. As the truffle is the diamond of the French gourmet kitchen, so is Durufle the diamond of the French organ console.
Thank you so much!
Thank you Collin, that was beautiful, one of my favorites that I played often while I was still a Church Organist ( for 40 years ) before my accident and Cancer. May GOD continue to fill you with HIS LOVE and may you continue to perform. LANCE †♫♪♫
This is so awesome!!!!
Thanks Yuri!
An organ exactly the same size (64/84) as the Cavaillé-Coll at St-Ouen in a room that size must truly shake the floor. Beautifully done, Collin! One of my favorite pieces.
Thank you - it's quite something in the room, that's for sure!
Nice organ, but absolutely no comparison to St Ouen. St Ouen has a massive sound, filling a big cathedral and can top many organs with much more stops in sound and power. Especially for the US: you don't need 200 ranks. St Ouen is enough to manage the biggest organ works. And than that sound.... The organ here is too perfect. Too clean. It's not the French way.
@@juergen07091973 The St-Ouen organ sound is in part due to its perfect acoustic location in the middle third of the end wall of a space the size of Notre Dame. However, the St-Ouen 32' Contrebombarde has a massive sound that often overwhelms the keyboards and needs to be used sparingly. The "French way" is a bit problematic because Cavaiilé-Coll often used much of the previous organ to cut costs, so every organ was different, and some were more successful than others. The Fisk-Rosales at the Shepherd School is of equal size in a much smaller room that has been specifically engineered for it. Too perfect? To me the sound is impressive. And, being in a music school, it has to serve the works of many composers not in favor, and some not yet born, in 19th century France. Trinity Wall Street here in NYC, with a portfolio estimated at $2B, is installing a Rosales/Glatter-Götz instrument which shows a lot of confidence in Rosales.
@drbobdrake I love Colin's performance too. I also find the instrument a stunning testament to modern organ building - and that modern builders can still build spectacular instruments. I appreciate that some folks may have strong ingrained preferences for their favourite organs in their favourite churches. What if this beautiful Fisk-Rosales was placed in St Ouen in a hypothetical world? What if Durufle grew up in America with this beautiful American instrument. And imagine this....a French Inspired American organ...on which everything worked - without fail. I would imagine he'd be grateful and happy that the organ was fully functional. And I thought about the 'French Way' And what that further entailed. An organ teacher 30 years ago put on a recording of French romantic organ music for me....recorded on a French organ. I thought I was hearing full swell and reeds 'celeste' (a sound not so celestial). I have perfect pitch (but didn't need it to determine the organ was not in tune). I had wondered over the years if out of tune French organs were just a normal thing (being a professional organist never having played a French organ). With all due respect to traditional instruments: I would be very interested to see such a well built American instrument - transplanted into a French Cathedral - and see if the congregation responded well to the sound. I suspect there would be few complaints.
@@shkiwi1978 I recently had the privilege of hearing the St. Eustache titulaire Thomas Ospital play and give a master class at The Brick Church in NYC. He claimed the huge Van den Heuvel organ at St. Eustache was in terrible shape and that he was convinced that when it was built the pipes “were just thrown in there.” He compared the huge space of St. Eustache with the dry sanctuary of The Brick Church and said it was the only thing that made the Van den Heuvel listenable. Recent recitals on the Van den Heuvel show the organists wearing vests and mufflers and the organ reeds are noticeably out of tune. So, yes, it would be interesting to hear, say, the huge Brick Church very-French Casavant transplanted to St. Eustache. Ospital also mentioned that the recently refurbished St. Sulpice needed some work. No doubt St. Ouen does. People have complained that the bellows cannot support a tutti, but one is probably paying more attention to the magnificent 32’ Contrebombarde than to a bending of pitch. St. Eustache now has a campaign to rework the 1989 Van den Heuvel and build a new choir organ. It will be interesting to compare the new with the old if they are successful.
I think that deserves a 10, Collin!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Prachtig. Durufle, the most self-criticising composer ever, brilliantly performed. Wonderful!
Thank you kindly!
I'd commend you on the registration but there probably isn't a bad sounding combination on the whole instrument! Great playing! <3 Duruflé!
Thank you for listening - it's a wonderful instrument for sure.
Bravo!!!!!!
Lovely playing ... The powerful organ suits the piece!
