Bélier, Gaston (1912): Toccata en ré mineur pour grand orgue - Daniel Oberzaucher

[@rogernichols1124]

Encore un triomphe d'exécution et d'interprétation! L'instrument lui-même ainsi que l'acoustique de la cathédrale sont magnifiques. Merci, jeune homme, de ce programme impressionnant!

[@rogernichols1124]

I bought the score on a Wednesday, practised for an hour or two, played it at the end of the Sunday mass and had an appreciative round of applause at the end. It makes a dazzling impact 'organo pleno'.

[@DenisPierreMeyer]

Belle Toccata d'un compositeur qui m'était inconnu, merci M.Oberzaucher ! Un instrument digne de cette pièce.

[@philippecartondetournai5546]

Eblouissant specimen d'orgue romantique ...sur un superbe instrument !

Splendid toccata! Excellent performance./Dr. Fred Ussery

bien belle toccata ! merci de nous l'avoir fait découvrir.

Brilliant piece and actually not very difficult to master - try it!

[@stuartmclaren2402]

The younger organists really seem to like this. It is a good piece of music. And it sounds harder than it is. The Bach style pedal passages are also great exercises in technique. I agree there are a number of great organ Toccatas in D minor including those by Bach and Buxtehude.

[@eensio]

Great sequences, splendid figures in pedals, the composer did not hide the valuation to organ music of baroque - that is our happiness: we get to enjoy brilliant organ music

[@zamarioijean4736]

Musique intéressante ! Je ne connaissais pas ce compositeur ...

[@alindmay]

Reminds me Vivaldi and some of Bach: how to get a grandious effect with easy and simply written music.

[@JokoLive]

No kidding :D

[@rogernichols1124]

The fugue subject has potential and Handel, of course, realised this, exploiting it with typical nonchalance and confidence. Nice performance here. Bravo!

[@Berne1353]

Juste magnifique

[@crissvolo6047]

Amazing!

[@AntoniusTertius]

All toccatas in D minor are great by nature ;)

Hermoso .música 🎶

[@LuisCaparra]

Magistral interpretación!!

[@DemirSezer]

why is this so beautiful

[@matswessling6600]

but why doesnt the organist play the first two eight notes in tempo?

[@berniboy6491]

You are right, bad

[@rogernichols1124]

My thought too.

[@erichkusterer6339]

Better than the original Notation. Cool man ❤😂❤

[@alfenito]

Why don't you play the first two eighth notes in tempo each time? I assume you're trying to keep things from getting muddy. But the consequence is exactly the opposite. Not only is it still thick and somewhat muddy, but we lose the one grounding thing we need to pull us from the muddiness, which is the sense of rhythm/time. It's very disconcerting. But I love the piece, nonetheless.

[@clivesawers8270]

I certainly noticed something not quite right but don’t know the piece well. I think you’re correct on that point.

Please send me Belier sheet music by e-mail.

Is this available to download to print the score???

Wo kann man es kaufen?

[@danielwaitzman2118]

Surprisingly beautiful music for the time; but the performance is terrible-sounds like beef stew rather than music.

[@bennaarsongidi]

It’s sometimes better to just post what it’s meant to sound like . Talk is cheap .

[@danielwaitzman2118]

@@bennaarsongidiDo you mean that musical performances must never be criticized?

[@bennaarsongidi]

@@danielwaitzman2118 its superior to criticise by showing examples so clarity of the said position becomes obvious

[@danielwaitzman2118]

@@bennaarsongidi Thank you for your profound and erudite lesson in music criticism. Your sterling prose and profound ideas stand as inspirations to us all. Alas, I have not yet been able to discover a way of conveying the sound of beef stew boiling in the pot to a KZbin audience--except through the circular means of citing the unfortunate performance on this video. Should I discover such a way, I shall be sure to contact you posthaste.

[@stuartmclaren2402]

In my humble opinion I prefer it played at a slower pace where the beauty of the work can be enhanced

[@jpinhead]

Very sloppy performance. The echo in the hall is interfering with all the tones and you're playing this too fast for this room!!
