Widor Symphony V Toccata
For those wondering about the capture device, I used my 4+ year old Canon S5 digital camera set to the highest video resolution. This Canon has very good audio mics, considering it is SD video! I was positioned in the Great Choir, top row, and the Canon was angled so no one could see its recording light blinking....
Raymond Nagem should get a MEDAL! I watched this young man closely and he is indeed good! He puts himself into his ORGAN music. Probably trained uner Gerre Hancock no doubt. My hat is off to him. May his tribe increase. Thank you Ray Nagem for your brilliant performance! Enjoyed!
I like the tempo! You can really savor each note, but not get bored!
Wonderful performance !!!
Beautiful. And,,,, at the tempo indicated by Mr. Widor!
Excellent tempo and performance!
Thank you.
@davlber221: The event was most certainly about Easter! You are hearing and watching the ORGAN POSTLUDE to the 11am Solemn Mass of Easter Day, 2011. Most Solemn Masses have such organ pieces before and after the service.
Very nicely performed
You want to hear Kalevi Kiviniemi on the Cavaille- Coll organ at St Ouen if you want to hear how it should be played.
I personally think Ben Van Oosten's version on the St Ouen organ is how it should be played
I find playing the organ in cassock and surplice to be a bit difficult. But I do it anyway. Amazing organ playing!
Do you happen to know when the Neswick CD from ProOrgano comes out?
Nice camera!
@theremin137 It would be more exciting than that old lady performance of the Widor Toccata! Thats for sure! Oh by the way I got your troll swinging!
A few liberties with the score. I prefer the Olivier Latry version on the Notre-Dame organ.
Very well done.like the tempo...most play it way to fast I believe even if a show piece.
no the video was not inappropriate, i just didn't like the Toccata.
@davlber221 Oh, go back to rubbing your belly and quit trolling.
Yawn! Ho-hum!!
Yawn! Ho-hum!! Wasn't it about Easter? Or, an organ concert?
