Used to play this in college when I switched from piano to organ. A lifelong pleasure to be an organist. Retired after 80years on keyboards, started at age 4 on piano. Mom & dad were musicians...
It is a most joyful suite to play, isn't it? I got bold and learned it without my teacher's permission and he was livid with me, and refused to hear me play it, though I wanted his input. Eventually I had the great fun of teaching it to my own students. Some of the boys, especially, for some reason, loved the Toccata, though others loved different movements.

Je suis parfaitement d'accord avec votre appréciation. D'autre part, il me semble qu'avec une console plus " moderne ", le jeu propre eut été un peu plus serein dans les manipulation s pour modifier la registration!

The ability to manage a mechanical stop action in this performance without assistants is key. My observation is that most assistants require marked-up music in front of them to pull stops accurately. Those who can do it from memory would rather be the organist in the spotlight.

I am so emotional right now as I played this for my senior recital when I was in my late 50s. My Mom was my inspiration and she died a month ago. She loved this piece and now I love hearing you play it. I am now 71 and miss the organ so much. I still study and teach piano but I miss being an organist. I played on a beautiful organ as you are playing. Boellmann is my favorite: Maybe its because we share the same birthday. Thank you so much and you have such a gift!
Oh my! We have a lot in common. I also had a bike accident with fractured wrist and jaw. Kept me out of the loop for a while. Also I am studying piano with a teacher from Switzerland but is here with a doctorate from UMKC, Dr. Boccard. Anyway I hopr you heal quickly and I thank you for your encouragement and strength, I wish the same for you. I have moved away from my hometown due to marriage and no longer have access to an organ. I am concentrating on piano. Thank you and I wish you the very best.
Yes, absolutely. First rate in every respect: organ, registration, tempo, dynamics, and interpretation. The building toward a climactic ending in the fourth movement is fantastic, and he does it on a mechanical stop action without assistants.
This brings back fond memories of my senior organ recital at East Tennessee State University. Played the suite from memory on my a small reproduction pipe organ.
Je n'avais jamais entendu la toccata jouée avec un mi au lieu d'un mi bémol dans un passage de phrase principale du pédalier. Je trouve ça beaucoup plus riche et agréablement surprenant.
Astonishing performance! Thank you so much! And, of course, splendid quality of record, it was really challenging to find this suite with crystal clear sound. Now I’m enjoying this masterpiece from time to time
POWER! That’s the first word that comes to mind when hearing this beautifully-performed suite...and that power isn’t just in the FF sections, but also with the more delicate registrations chosen for the contrasting sections of the second movement and especially the third. This performance is sensitive to all the contrasts the score calls for. And, of course, this organ is simply amazing.
Remarquable interprétation, notamment de la toccata. Cela m'a rappelé un très cher ami poète et musicien décédé il y a 30 ans, Jean-Marie Olingue, qui aimait Boëllmann et Widor.
His registration is so interesting. He has a unique style and flare to this composition that sepera all his tes him from the usual predictable organist.
I really enjoyed this. I can only imagine that even after years of practice and hard work, and many performances that an organist of your quality is still completely given over to the music. It is a real privilege to hear you play.
@@aussiemale059 Well then you have a bad hearing. Because it's clearly to hear that he is not respecting the big cathedral space in where the organ speaks into.
Veel mooie herinneringen aan deze schitterende 'Suite Gothique' Ontroerd om dit werk nogmaals te horen! Perfecte orgelist! Prachtige, zuivere hulde aan Onze Lieve Vrouw! Dankbaar!!!
De très bonnes versions j'en ai écoutées, mais celle-ci est particulièrement réussie (sous tous les rapports : esprit, équilibrage, registration, tempi, prise de son) Un très grand bravo - et un super-merci !
Bravo! Thoroughly enjoyed your performance of that classic piece of organ music on a fine sounding instrument. The tempo was just perfect, not rushed. A favourite with empathy to all the different nuances of the four movements. Thank you 👏
I loved your execution of this piece, some organists tend to shorten too much the final chords and this takes out so much greatness to this piece and to the organ sound. Also very good registration, thanks for this.
tout simplement superbe ! et n'en déplaise aux grincheux , cette petite fantaisie sur les derniers accords est tout a fait géniale ! j'adore !!! Vous êtes un peu comme la célèbre marque de briquet qui vous est homyme, une flamme vous anime !
Un très grand merci pour ta série d'interprétation; qui me réchauffe le coeur moi qui n'ai pas encore repris. Encore une très bonne interprétation qui exploite bien cet instrument Toulousain que nous aimons tous.
Found Jean-Baptiste by accident looking thru the different pipe organ pieces. Bravo! I still have to work up the first, second, and third movements and "re-learn" the 4th. The Toccata drew me in with its mysterious sound. Great job memorizing these pieces and the other pieces that are on-line. Impressive playing.
Quelle maîtrise de 7 instrument c'est splendide maîtrise du jeu de Jean-Baptiste régistration superbe et à tous très impressionnant ça sonne vraiment superbement bien bravo à Jean-Baptiste tu m'as dit un jour que c'était un orgue de combat et nous a quand nous en avons un aussi superbe vraiment quel génie Cavaillé-Coll et quelle harmonisation du grand art bravo à Jean-Baptiste Dupont vrai nom Philippe Dubois de la ville de Caen en Normandie
Congratulations! I'm practicing the piece right now, but this is really masterful played. This is a very high level that I will unfortunately not reach. But the piece is really beautiful. Thank you for sharing on youtube. Greetings from Germany.
Coucou Jean Baptiste c'est Eric le plieur d Albi parachutisme! J'ai écouté ce que tu fais j'ai trouvé ça fantastique. J'espère te revoir pour la suite de ta formation et en connaître un peu plus sur ton métier qui a l'air passionnant à bientôt🤟🤟
Salut Eric ! Merci pour ton message sympa ! Tu as Insta ? J'espère pouvoir revenir soit en fin de semaine prochaine soit dans 15 jours. (Demande mon tel au club). a+
A wonderful performance and you have caused me to reconsider how I might register various sections when I perform it in November. I will have a fine instrument to play it on, but it won't be a Cavaillé-Coll.
Nice, that also two other people heard it. I noticed it from the first hearing and was a bit confused (wrong played???) but then i though: yeah it sounds really nice!!! :) "Artistic Freedom" or as we say in Germany: Künstlerische Freiheit ;) Greetings from Brandenburg, Danilo
@@daniloherzlieborganist He also the pedal parts of the toccata differently than is written. In the sheet music it says for bar 7 F-Eb-F, not F-E natural-F like he played it. This goes for the same bars later on
I played this on my Classical Show. It was the last piece in my programme that day because it is impossible to follow this. I always wished I had learnt to play the organ.
I just love the look of fully mechanical organs! I know there heavier to play but you just look so cool playing it! Meanwhile I’m stuck with a 2 manual digital organ.
Then let me introduce you to hauptwerk. Hauptwerk is a virtual program that allows you to play real church organs in your home. And the quality is unreal its amazing. With 3000€ u can have this organ that he is playing in your home. The kry to this is midi but research this yourself you will be amazed i have it myself its the best thing ever. Search Hauptwerk virtual pipe organ. Best wishes from finland
I have a 3-manual Johannus Vivaldi digital organ. It is quite amazing, but I AM now beginning to research if (or) how I can incorporate the Hauptwerk system into my existing organ. If THAT’s possible, I’ll have the best of all digital worlds right in my living room. Surely NOT a bona fide acoustic pipe organ, but something quite magnificent, nevertheless. (Anyone with suggestions for me, drop me an e-mail. I’d be grateful. (cynmar1@sbcglobal.net) ... AND THIS PERFORMANCE IS JUST AMAZING.
Future me here, after doing some research, I realised this organ is barker lever operated therefore the coupling must be pneumatic and of course not that heavy to play at all, as you stated. I discovered 3 things: That my previous comment was rather immature. That I am now a very satisfied user of the Hauptwerk software. And that this organ is up at one of my most favourites on the world along with saint Ouen in Rouen. I however do not have sufficient funds to purchase the Hauptwerk version of either of them, being a University student living on peanuts. Good old St Anns Moseley for me! AND WONDERFUL PERFORMANCE!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
...most organists only perform the toccata. The full work has its roots in the the French classical era. The Priere a Notre Dame is an exceptionally beautiful.movement. Wish I could save it to my playlist.

The fact you're playing this without a sheet shows your amazing talent.

It shows amazing preparation, not talent.

He did a great job, but he played it a bit to fast. The Organ for example can't breath in the Introduction.
