Jean Guillou - TOCCATA Op. 9

Roberto Bertero at the Gustavo Zanin Organ of Turin’s S.ta Rita Sanctuary (Italy).
- Recording dating back to the year 1995 -
In this video I am playing the brilliant and genial Toccata composed by the world famous French organist Jean Guillou.
For me, proposing this composition means paying homage to the great master who taught me during the masterclesses at the Tonhalle in Zurich. It has been an honor to be his pupil because his broad and profound artistic vision has always inspired me.
I thank Guillou's brother-in-law, Dr. Giampiero Del Nero, for kindly providing me the photographs to include in this video, which are showing the Maestro at work even on organs designed by himself.
I did not record this video at the Consolata Sanctuary, but at the Gustavo Zanin organ, located in the Parish of Santa Rita in Turin (Italy) on the occasion of a concert of mine in that venue.
Here is the tech equipment I’ve used in order to capture this live recording:
DAT recorder Aiwa HD-s1
Microphones Sennheiser K3U + ME80

Many thanks for your kind comment :-) Much of the communicative power of this video comes from the great compositional art of Jean Guillou!
