Frederick Swann plays Boelleman's 'Tocatta' from Suite Gothique on the Crystal Cathedral Organ

[@canyoubelievethis220]

There will never be another Fred Swann; there will never be another "Hour of Power" and there will never be another Dr. Schuller. Sad that those days are gone. I miss them so much.

Good recording or bad this man is the absolute best! Dr. Swan I salute you....over and over!!!!

[@joha750]

One of my favorite organ Toccata

[@johnsbatts]

Thoroughly entertaining performance. Thanks for posting this.

[@DavidSnyderLumierist]

In case anyone is wondering,,those oblong items infront of the pedal board are Expression Shoes" to give EXPRESSION to he instrument. Some artists actually use them.I remember Virgil Fox playing that on Hour of Power in the old church also years back.

[@euripidiesupman9755]

Good one, David! You don't remember me, but I was the doofus who showed up 3 hours early in Tupelo when you and Virgil drove up. It was the first time (of 2) that I got to see him play in person.

Great piece and I have played it many times!

[@georgemurphy2579]

[@noahpierson801]

HOLY CRAP!!! HE ACTUALLY HAS DARK HAIR!!!! Anyways, Fantastic job, as always Fred!

[@claudiasmemaw]

Very much appreciate the talent of organist & composer. Had I been at this service, I'd have never heard another thing after it ws over. I would have foundthe volume intollerable!

[@BenEmberley]

......what year was this??

[@m.b.v.jansen7116]

Juist gespeld:toccata uit de suite gotique van leon boellman

[@TomPauls007]

Great piece, but not so great hairpiece. Too bad they didn’t have those nice portable digital recorders that could’ve been used here. That would’ve been quite a recording!

[@toitoi9250]

Trop scolaire, pas assez d'expression, manque d'inventivité dans la registration. Et la musique, les émotions, dans tout ça ?

[@JDman107]

You’re dumb

[@retofuchs5407]

not clear at all. not the french way.

[@Offshoreorganbuilder]

Being from so long ago, the quality of the recording is lousy. Who knows what is sounded like in reality?

[@oucutie1]

Offshoreorganbuilder Yeah, in cases like this vid am never sure where the muddyness comes from. Recording equip? Instrument? Age? Performer?

[@califdad4]

its a poor recording , Im sure, he is quite a organist but you cannot hear much of him or that beautiful organ

[@rowanhill6425]

What's the French way?

[@rowanhill6425]

@@califdad4 I agree the recording is substandard at best
