Charles-Marie Widor - Organ Symphony No. 8 in B Major - VII (Finale)

[@wilfriedvomacka1783]

5:02 - 5:34 Combination of that crazy 32' Contre Bombarde with 16th notes runs up and down and high pitched melody with poweful mixtures on top of that .. what can I say, best goosebumps maker on the market. Love it. Works everytime

[@ronaldmckean3177]

SOOOOOO Awasome!!! the Last 4 bars are truly remarkable

[@shin-i-chikozima]

This performance is a great gift to organ music lovers

[@jwc7595]

A marvelous, powerful performance.

[@andrewlarson603]

Simply AMAZING!!! A monumental ending to a monumental masterwork!!! The organ of St Ouen is one of the very greatest and Van Oosten is one of the finest interpreters of Widor!!

[@aadbind64]

St.Ouen..absolutely..one of the finest organ build by Cavaille-Coll.

[@JoshuaSobel]

My three favorites right now by him are, in no particular order, St. Ouen, St. Sulpice, and Nancy Cathedral.

[@geuros]

yep, St. Sulpice and St. Ouen for me the 2 best

[@adigunawan7022]

St Ouen Rouen France Cavaille-Coll pipe organ built in 1890

[@charlesdavis7087]

Never heard this work before. I like it. Reminded me of the Gigout toccata. Then again, hearing something for the first time has a tendency to remind one of other things one has heard before. Thank you for sharing.

[@scottw6704]

Maybe B minor is connected to some sort of positive neural pathway in your brain! (I love the Gigout too)

[@barnarus]

When heard in context to the rest of the symphony, and with the 7th before, it is like a massive suite of grandeur.

[@paulroberts4271]

The organ is so powerfull,the last few bars and notes sounds like a trains horn at full blast.

[@JoshuaSobel]

St. Ouen is a great organ.

[@Michael_VG]

@@JoshuaSobel It is!

[@dovakuh3810]

Ben van Oosten ist ein so begabter Musiker sehr schön gespielt

[@scottw6704]

The flat II-chord suspension/resolution near the end is probably my favorite Widor moment of all.

[@jamaicanpianistcomposer]

WOW What a stunning Organ! That ending was Goosebumpingly GLORIOUS!!!! Oh my days!!! Widor? your ending choice for this Symphony is everything!! CAVAILLE-COLL is GOD yep i said it!

[@plasticraincoat1]

Thank you for doing this it was very helpful 👍

[@bpunktkpunkt5317]

Very good!

[@cross147]

The perfect tempo for this piece. Olivier Latry will play this probably 2 times faster, and it still would be great :D But, to be honest, chamades in Notre Dame is designed for playing fast.

[@ACELog]

At what location was this recorded?

[@SongsForSorrows]

The church of St. Sulpice in Paris, France. Majority of Ben Van Oosten's C.M Widor performances are held in there.

[@ACELog]

@@SongsForSorrows I thought it was, recognse the lovely sound. Daniel Roth is organist there isn't he?

[@SongsForSorrows]

@@ACELog Yep. However, he retired last year.

[@LorenzoAntinori]

I think it's the C.-C. in St. Ouen, Rouen.

[@andrewlarson603]

It is St Ouen. I have this very recording. Saint Sulpice and Saint Ouen sound different.

[@WinrichNaujoks]

A very boring piece well played.

Boring? This is in my top 3 most favorite Widor pieces. Not boring at all.

[@WinrichNaujoks]

@@wilfriedvomacka1783 Don't get me wrong, there are more boring pieces, ALL of Dupré's, for example.

[@sykyfu1378]

@@WinrichNaujoks Then, may I ask ,which pieces aren't boring in your opinion?
