Widor: 6. Symphonie op. 42 Nr. 2 - I. Allegro

[@Merliin81]

So ein schweres Stück so gut gespielt. Könnte ich nicht. Respekt.

[@ferryorganmusic]

I listen to this so often, because it’s one of the best organ pieces ever written.

[@PhilippeBrun-qy3st]

Magnifique. Merci à vous.

[@Samuel-qv7dz]

This definitely my favorite organ piece of all time.

[@bobh5087]

Perfect tempos throughout. Thank you for not frantically rushing through this grand and noble piece, as is so often done. Here we actually get to appreciate the scope, drama and structure. 👍 ❤️

[@reglementme6321]

In my opinion the best rendition so far. Those staccato pedals halfway through as it should be, those small pauses and yet still lingering on. Thank you for this joy.

[@natalieb6895]

Powerful organ and piece. Listen to God's power.

[@video_camera]

I prefer Latry's version though, it's more agile at parts, although this one is really skillfull too

[@video_camera]

@@natalieb6895Not god but mankind. Cry about it.

[@Ludus57]

An excellent, even model performance. By complete coincidence, I decided the other day, to relearn this piece, one the greatest individual movements in the French Romantic repertoire, and this performance inspires me to take up my quest! Well done.

[@jmdujardin]

Bernhard Schneider aime Charles-Marie Widor, c'est une évidence, comme aussi Guilmant, il adore même interpéter leurs oeuvres, et il le fait excellement, chez lui (et cet orgue sonne très bien !) : grand merci à vous Bernhard, et venez donc jouer ces grand maitres en France , sur les Cavaillé-Coll auxquels certaines de ces oeuvres sont dédiées : St Sernin de Toulouse, St Ouen de Rouen, St Sulpice de Paris...Ce sera grand bonheur de vous y entendre !

[@vultun29]

A difficult and grandiose piece played flawlessy.

[@georgemurphy2579]

Of course a teacher of mine once said that the f# section, "separates the men from the boys." He was right about that!

[@OlagunjuTope]

Very nice! Good tempo and articulation. The beat I've heard so far! Thank you

[@BarryWaterlow]

*The articulation beautifully keeps the sense of steady rhythmical propulsion of the shorter note values clear and clean. Wonderful , dramatic, musical playing and registration.*

[@user-nk5jb8dj1s]

Magnifique, très bon tempo, grande lisibilité dans la polyphonie grâce à l'articulation, aux phrasés, et à la "couleur " du très bel orgue Klais qui fait merveille dans cette oeuvre, même s'il ne sonne pas comme un Cavaillé Coll ; on entend ici qu'un instrument différent convient parfaitement à cette oeuvre.

[@keplergso8369]

Je ne dirais pas qu'il sonne parfaitement, les anches ne sonnent pas avec autant d'éclat que sur un CC, c'est flagrant, ce qui fait perdre le côté « fanfare » et triomphant de l'intro. Toutes ces œuvres (Franck, Widor, Vierne, Duruflé, Dupré) ne rendent vraiment bien que sur un CC, elles ont été conçues par et pour ces jeux romantico-symphoniques français : fonds enveloppants et profonds, basses puissantes, anches percutantes, rendant quasi inutiles les mixtures (sauf à la rigueur pour les tutti, en y apportant de la clarté). Bon, après, il faut faire avec l'instrument dont on dispose, c'est jouable aussi sur un néo-classique.

[@yourenglishclasses]

My word ! Didn`t he ever write anything easy^That pedal part is more difficult that the famous Toccata.

[@erichkusterer6339]

Meisterhaft gespielt.

[@chucklambooy8457]

Grand…absolutely grand!!

[@gerardbedecarter]

A wonderful performance !

[@ArtcticKnightX]

Superb piece!

[@MarekWodawski]

I have heard no better performance of this Masterpiece than that of Mr. Bernhard Schneider,.Congratulations! Why only the first part ?!

[@BernhardSchneider1309]

There is the whole symphonie on kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3napmmBnph9b6M. And you can find all organ works by Widor in my channel.

[@TheMountblanc]

I suggest to add omni microphones to get the deep frequencies of the organ. Very good recording thougth and impressive in tempo keeping in the difficult parts especially!

[@organo3112]

There's quite s few good organ symphony movements between Widor and Vierne but I think I rate this one very highly - the grandeur juxtaposed with declaratory linear passages. ❤

[@tony1961chl]

Desde el comienzo se nota que es algo bello ,gracias

[@Testgeraeusch]

I had nearly forgotten how moving and beautiful the organ could be... Simple motiv, playful arrangement and enough variation in keys to make it progress and flow. I sometimes wish i could write like that. Playing like that is out of my reach anyways.

[@maximilianmusiker5264]

Magnificent ❤️

[@Simpleburger1968]

Glorious, majestic, powerful : The King of Instruments used to their limits 😀👍

[@rafak6707]

This is great. Thank you :)

[@WMAlbers1]

One recording I listened much to was that of Gunther Kaunzinger on the Klais organ of the Limburger Dom. I like this one much better.

[@christiangolz5690]

Lieber Bernhard Schneider, wenn Sie irgendwann mal vorhaben, Widor in St.Ouen/Rouen zu spielen, lassen Sie es Ihre Internetzuhörer wissen. Wir füllen die Abteikirche!

[@michelabboud2495]

BIOUTIFULL 💜 personally I would like it wz a bit less registrations in order to taste better ur lovely playing 😘

[@nghiavan8952]

It’s like Bach harmonized

[@alcyonecrucis]

Is that in G minor?

[@Engineer9736]

Yes, 2 flats in the key signature is g minor (or b flat major but the piece sounds obviously like minor) 🙂

[@maximilianmusiker5264]

Magnificent ❤️
