What a performance !!! Liene you are a great musician !

A stunning performance from such a adorable beautiful organist.

Mind blowing performance, it can reduce me to tears.

[@justmusic822]

A performance characterized by excitement and great musicality! Thanks a lot!

[@georgemurphy2579]

It is so encouraging to see this great music performed throughout the world, and by so many younger musicians keeping the tradition going.

[@benedictcowell6547]

We are living in a golden age of MusIcians, performances, scholarship and instruments and the variety is breath taking, and it is mark of human progress that so many of them are women, I am not a believer but if there is a God woman is his masterpiece.

[@georgemurphy2579]

@@benedictcowell6547 - No relation to Simon? In any case, all of humankind is God's Masterpiece - or as He said in Scripture: "Let us make man in our own image." But, we as members of the human race, oftentimes run off the rails. However, everything else in this Creation seems to follow nature's protocol. We will see it play out, but yes, God is bigger than all of us - and someone bigger than we are mad what we see. We didn't put the sun, moon, and stars in the sky. We can agree - the music and this performance was amazing.

Vraiment bonne organiste. Je l'écoute en boucle sans arrêt à partir du pédalier à la finale. La finale de cette pièce est terrible.

[@rosafrederic291]

Magnifique instrument et remarquable organiste en plus avec 54 notes aux claviers et 27 au pédalier.

[@svengilson]

Very nice. Lots of "room" in the piece - perfect for the accoustic - many players treat parts of this as a march almost, but the ebb and flow in this performance is great, and using the dynamic range of the organ too, quiet spots that are not often heard this quiet. Starting to think this might be one of my favorite versions!

[@raymondbeecroft4209]

This is a calling not just talent. Many organist lack the calling issue even if they are fabulous. Her very presence is enough to make stay and listen. Many wonderful organists do not have presence. True stuff always shows but really. Excuse the word stuff. I meat incredible presence. Thank you.

[@brunoaqw]

Magnifique de finesse 🎀

[@quinnriutta]

Wonderful performance, I did hear this very organ in 2016, it was undergoing some restoration work at the time so its nice to finally see what the end results are.

[@pavelsimane]

Naprosto neskutečné a úžasné provedení!!!!! Díky Bohu za Vás a za Váš talent!!!Jste fantastická

[@14reger]

The more I listen to this piece, the more I think it is perfomed too many times than it deservers. And I liked it in the past.

[@jmdujardin]

chère Liene Andreta, j'ai beaucoup de plaisir à vous écouter, notamment dans ces oeuvres de'organistes-compositeurs français comme Franck, Widor, Fauré, Litaize et autres. J'adorerais vous entendre interpréter Alexandre Guilmant, notamment dans ses sonates - des symphonies pour orgue, en fait - , par exemple la 5eme sonate. Je l'écoute, interprétée par David Hirst sur le grand Cavaillé-Coll de St Germain en Laye, FRance : je l'imagine sous vos doigts sur votre grand orgue de Riga... A bientôt peut-être pour cela !

[@forestturnings5732]

Well, I've just experienced one of the endearing pinnacles of the organ repertoire performed flawlessly and with great passion by a stunningly beautiful and gifted artist at the summit of her life's work. God made her beautiful, but endless toil made this performance superb. Congrats, Ms. Kalnciema.

[@jmdujardin]

Cet allegro delà VIeme de Ch-M Widor est envoûtant, c'est peut-être la pièce que je préfère de ce grand compositeur et interprète français, hormis l'inoubliable Bach's Memento en hommage au maître de l'orgue. J'ai l'habitude de l'écouter interprété sur les grands instruments de Cavaillé-Coll ( St Sulpice, St Ouen de Rouen. St Sernin de Toulouse,...) Et souvent par des interprètes français. Alors. Je salue la performance de cette grande et belle organiste, si proche de l'esprit de cet allegro et de Widor, et parfaitement à l'aise aux claviers de ce très bel instrument de belle facture. Ce fut un grand plaisir pour moi

[@albafaireness7114]

Two things I adore: - how Widor paints a masterful modulating musical landscape in this astounding piece..., and, - how Ms Kalnciema attacks this gorgeous instrument with pristine passion, registration and dynamics! Beautiful!

Bravo!!! Endlich mal eine Interpretation, bei welcher die Musik atmen darf - ganz im Gegensatz zu den "Etüden" (frei nach dem Motto: Wer kann es schneller?), die man so oft als "Interpretation" dieser großartigen Musik geboten bekommt. Und dennoch: Die Virtuosität kommt keinesfalls zu kurz!

[@holgeradelmann9423]

It takes stamina to play with all the manuals coupled to the Great (?), as well as the pedal!

4:53 it's such a shame that the instrument only goes to the note F6. The g6 and Ab6 would have sounded really epic on the organ.

Kudos to both the brilliant organist and the assistant. Their great performance let encounter the big organ as a versatile sound generator, an early synthesizer. I'm still impressed.

The problem with Widor is that the organs are always on maximum volume. Too much noise for me. I want discrete use of volume. Max Reger.... Very soft and very loud.

[@SuperOldandSlow]

So, wear ear plugs if it’s too much for you.
