Oh my, a very young Thomas Ospital, yet a true master of this instrument already! Very fine arrangement, registrations and performance! Thank you, from Canada!
Such a wide variety of stops, and wonderfully utilized. Amazing technique and artistry with someone so young! And this grand instrument is simply amazing! Très magnifique!
Brillante transcription d'une oeuvre qu'on n'imagine pas forcément exécutable à l'orgue. L'interprétation est à la hauteur de ce défi que Claude Debussy n'aurait certainement pas désavoué. Belle registration et bien sur, très bel instrument.
I have not heard this piece for organ before, nor have I heard Thomas. I was completely carried away by both. I have to admit that the use of the modern combination action adds so much to the tonal variety when it becomes so quickly and subtly useful. So pleased to hear the organ used so well. Compliments. And gratitude to Pierre for making it available here. Let's hear more from Thomas Ospital, please.
Such an exciting performance! It must be a great relief to have such a combination action, too. Video and audio both excellent. Thank you for posting this!
Jeune organiste prodige, digne successeur de Jean Guillou ! Thomas Ospital nous fait savourer les merveilleuses sonorités de ces grandes orgues ... Savoureuse transcription !
I love this instrument! May it sing forever! How lucky that St. Eustache chose the greatest organist of the 21st century . . . so far! TO ALL OF YOU ORGAN AFICIONADOS . . . Thomas Ospital will be at Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania, U.S., next month, June 20 - 24, 2023 to judge the International Organ Competition where students will compete for the $40,000 Pierre S. du Pont First Prize, the largest cash prize of any organ competition in the world. He will participate in a lecture on organ transcriptions.
Oh and thank you as wellof course, Pierre-Francois DUB-ATTENTI. You are doing a spectacular job of sharing some extraordinary performances with both organists and non-organists alike.
I don't see that statistic but truly, anyone who would give this a dislike is either a stuck-up Debussy purist, or just plain doesn't like pipe organ music. I would defend this organ and organist to any "organ expert" who could possibly criticize this performance. This transcription and performance are as good as it gets in the world of organ music.
Fantastic in every possible way. A seemingly effortless performance of enormous skill. So wonderful to watch from beginning to end. This famous organ needs little commentary from me: so much has already been written about this magnificent instrument. So, let me just simply say: "Bravo!" -MAS
Tout simplement magnifique. Cette œuvre s'adapte très bien pour cet instrument, pour moi, l'un des meilleurs de la ville. Cet instrument est tout simplement exemplaire, rien à voir avec St Sulpice qui aurait demandé un travail fou aux "registreurs"... sans parler du cliquetis envahissant de la machine Barker absolument trop bruyante.. (Oups... Daniel ne va pas être content!!)
Ecouter Debussy, c'est abolir le déferlement de bruits et d'images du quotidien pour entrouvrir l'espace d'un ailleurs où la contingence et la représentation cèdent la place à l'immatérialité du sensible. Une fois refermée la porte sur l'agitation du monde, un silence sous-jacent s'installe, une lenteur saisit, préludes à une dilatation de la perception et de la conscience. Le pouvoir expressif de l'architecture sonore rompt avec toute forme de transcription du réel pour s'attacher à l'expression d'un univers insaisissable. La couleur et le rythme des compositions constituent un langage qui donne voix à l'exaltation.
You have to be very coordinated to play the pipe organ, since your hands are doing one thing and ur doing something completely different with your feet. Simply amazing!🎼🎶🎵🎹
Magnifique.
Some of these mixtures are amazing. They sound just like a glass harmonica.
FANTASTIC!!!
The artistry and musicianship on display here is breathtaking. Simply brilliant.
Splendide, fin ,élégant, coloré. Debussy n'aurait pas osé sans doute, mais un tel instrument manié avec autant de talent permet tout ...
incredible performance……WOW……
Oh my, a very young Thomas Ospital, yet a true master of this instrument already! Very fine arrangement, registrations and performance! Thank you, from Canada!
Truly superb!
Such a wide variety of stops, and wonderfully utilized. Amazing technique and artistry with someone so young! And this grand instrument is simply amazing! Très magnifique!
What a monumental instrument! Love the sound and the competency of the this good organist. Kudos monsieur Thomas.
Magnifique musique, magnifique interprète !!
Brilliant Thomas. Discovered on You Tube in virus lockdown. An outstanding performance!
Just one word: brilliant. Thomas u re genious. Deffinitely. 🤩
Brillante transcription d'une oeuvre qu'on n'imagine pas forcément exécutable à l'orgue. L'interprétation est à la hauteur de ce défi que Claude Debussy n'aurait certainement pas désavoué. Belle registration et bien sur, très bel instrument.
magnifique ; entendre des oeuvres de Debussy à l'orgue ( et quel orgue !) c'est réjouissant

Let's hear more from Thomas Ospital, please.

Magnifique ! délicat et plein de poésie. Bravo pour cette superbe interprétation ! Et bravo pour l'excellente prise de vue !
A wonderful transcription, and a very fine performance.
Superbe ! Très grand bravo Thomas et aussi toute la production audio-vidéo remarquable
I am in LOVE with the console....and of course the music and the performance....wonderful
I love this instrument! May it sing forever! How lucky that St. Eustache chose the greatest organist of the 21st century . . . so far!

Époustouflant ! Comme d’habitude c'est remarquable. Bravo Thomas ainsi qu'aux petites mains derrières qui mettent en scène ce fabuleux spectacle !
Bellissima resa grazie ad una sapiente scelta di registri! Molto bravo!
Beautifully and Masterly played, I love that console too, just fabulous.
For me, fabulous in every way. Great video work too to include footwork & registration changes at the right moments. Thank you :)
thoroughly enjoyed. and i love the shoelaces!
Wow! This is magnificent. Will visit Saint Eustache when I next visit Paris.
Extremely nicely transcribed and played. Superb.
Oh and thank you as wellof course, Pierre-Francois DUB-ATTENTI. You are doing a spectacular job of sharing some extraordinary performances with both organists and non-organists alike.
C'est vraiment d'une beauté. Merci Thomas
Du grand art ! Ou plutôt du grand orgue ! Bravo aussi aux virtuoses de la vidéo ;-)
wow, great playing and a nice organ arr.
Wonderful! Thank you, Pierre, for sharing this well done video.
What an incredible piece! The piano version is great, but the colors and excitement and sounds of this arrangement are amazing! I must learn this.
Positively brilliant playing. And I love the blue shoe laces.......:-)
Bravo!
Even ONE 'dislike' is ridiculous, but twenty-five? This playing is flawless and Thomas is a true musician.
Those who can do (wonderful Pierre-François and Thomas), those who can't criticize (thumbs down).
I don't see that statistic but truly, anyone who would give this a dislike is either a stuck-up Debussy purist, or just plain doesn't like pipe organ music.

Redécouverte absolument totale de cet orgue... finalement fabuleux !
Trop fan ! Bonheur ! Merci Monsieur.
Absolutely masterful rendering!
Bravo Thomas
Merci aussi à Thierry Hirsch pour la transcription
Beautifully played!
Nice, when i will go to Paris i must to visitthese church and organ to.
I hope you have visited. It is one of the best for music and liturgy as well.
Fantastic 🎉
wow I like the awesome ending!
A pedal glissando! 😲 Wow. Such fireworks. Debussy does not lend its self well to organ, but one would never know that here.
BRAVO!!!!!!
Absolutely Amanzing!
Fabuleux!
Superb! Bravo!
Bravo bravo bravo!
I Very much enjoied this many thanks

(Oups... Daniel ne va pas être content!!)
Wonderful - absolutely wonderful ! I wonder if Saint-Sulpice will ever get a technical upgrade of a toe piston or thumb pistons in the future?
that organ is amazing sounding
St Eustache kann sich glücklich schätzen, zwei solche einander ergänzende Titulaires zu haben. Mes meilleurs voeux!
Magnifique, un exemple parfait pour definir ce qu'est l'orgue symphonique.
Wonderful!
Fantastic!!
Amazing, My Name is Eustace and Debussy is being performed in a Church named after Saint Eustace
Yes Eustace. You must visit there. But I think the name is St. Eustache.
I'd love to watch a live from Saint Eustache organ. Is it possible?
Superb!
trés bon jeu
A question, what is he doing with is feet on the round stops? Is he switching between pre-programmed registrations?
Yes. He can do it either with hands or with feet
Pierre-François and Thomas are WONDERFUL organists. I think I read the former's sadly going to be a lawyer but I realize one must pay the bills!
very nice, the organist is cute as well.
+ Jhr. Humphrey: Your playing is Wonderful.
perfekt beautifull
In één woord prachtig!
Unbelievably pretty!
WOW! :o
Noce music,Bravo! I amici organista to andComposer.
Beautiful playing. Haters will hate.
beautiful! nice shoes lol
Great shoe laces! ;)

Admirable commentaire, Philippe Cirse ; plein de sensibilité et de discernement !
You have to be very coordinated to play the pipe organ, since your hands are doing one thing and ur doing something completely different with your feet. Simply amazing!🎼🎶🎵🎹
neskutočne krásne
아! 이 오르간 한번 ..........프랑스 대성당 설피 오르간
Fabuleux!
Bravo!
