Karol Mossakowski plays Widor, 6th Symphony, Allegro (Saint-Sulpice, Paris)

[@anthonyvallillo422]

Magnificent! This young man is a worthy addition to the pantheon of great organists who have held this post!

[@michaelmeyer7426]

Magnificent console technique and awesome musical phrasing. Mr. Karol is a worthy successor to the organ bench at Saint-Sulpice!

[@noelbolingbroke-kent3009]

An absolutely stupendous performance of one of the finest pieces of organ music ever written.

[@nizaru100]

When pipe organ speaks , All musical instruments MUST be silent ! ( specially these so called '' piano , arabic Oud, Qanun, Violin, drums, etc....'') tha fact tjhat piano has become today the stereotype of Keyboard instrument where actually the concept of Keyboard itself is for PIPE ORGAN Centuriiies before ....... Well....... I prefer to remain silent 🙂

[@Ludus57]

Excellent! This must be one of the most impressive movements in the organ repertoire. Nothing can better the main theme for it's majesty and power, and from that point on, the interest is maintained through a master's command of texture and development. Played on the instrument that inspired it in such a persuasive manner, who could possibly top that? Bravo!

[@abbethoven6076]

One of the best recordings ever heard of this piece... .

[@34Arran]

That was magnificent. To take on the great Cavaille-Coll at Saint Sulpice, to play one of Widor’s great pieces at his church, to do your own registration and to do it all from memory. Phenomenal!

[@vaucherjean-francois6891]

Merci Karol pour cette version inspirée et convaincante ! Ce que ne savent pas ceux qui n'ont pas l'habitude de ce superbe instrument c'est qu'il est quasi impossible d'y jouer sans assistants et là, tu te débrouilles SEUL d'un bout à l'autre avec tous les changements de couleurs... Un immense bravo, je suis tellement heureux pour toi !

[@fuguetoccata5843]

Il n'aura pas fallu longtemps au nouveau titulaire pour apprivoiser ce monstre, à l'architecture et au mécanisme si particuliers ! On ne peut qu'admirer !

[@eva4adam451]

Fantastic. One of my favorite organ pieces in my childhood.

[@fmcc19]

Everything magnificent. One of the better recordings ever in Saint-Sulpice. Can't stop playing it!

[@aronnilsson3062]

The absolutly best allegro I ever heard! And I've heard many in my 60 years! Crying of delight!❤

[@SoCalCath]

A favorite piece, played by a favorite organist, on a favorite organ in the just right space, recorded by the best team. Thanks for sharing.

[@richardkarlow1626]

Karol you played one of my all time favorites and it was magnificent!! Congratulations on your appointment to titular at St Sulpice. I am truly looking forward to hearing more performances by you at St Sulpice. They will be marvelous!!

[@WouterTukker]

Bravo Karol, once again you prove to be a master of the precious art of meticulous articulation and adequate tempo, both of which (among others) were so much advocated by your illustrious predecessor Charles-Marie Widor: un très grand CHAPEAU pour toi!

[@matthieubazile3350]

One of my favorite organ pieces on one my favorite organs. Great performance!

[@saturnin5354]

C'est puissant et flamboyant ! Bravo et merci pour le partage.

[@Albert-n2n]

[@Contre-Bombarde32]

[@organosolo4984]

Je ne m'en lasse pas de ce mouvement de cette Symphonie

[@emmarakelian]

Somptueux ! Immense bravo Karol

[@gabbeman1975]

This was fantastic! A stunning performance of one of my favorites from the french organ literature! Marvelous!!

[@ralf-peter.schwarz]

Real smiling of satisfaction in the end. Thanks!

[@AntonioThinker4444]

Hermosa, fantastica pieza

[@adamvater1208]

Magnifique

[@greglane2283]

Wow, what an experience to see how an organist without stop pullers can navigate this massive organ. Very well done. Widor must have been able to do the same.

[@4candles]

This was one of the first organ pieces I ever heard, played by Dupré, and it has been a favourite of mine ever since. Karol's performance is among the best I've heard!

[@olimpiomedori7948]

N°1🔝👏🎩Bravo‼️

[@ciociakrysia4906]

Cudowne..Bóg zapłać..

[@jean-marie18]

Bravo et merci Karol (jean marie chidiac)

[@calvinsm]

Wow. Bravo! Incroyable!

[@organo3112]

Yes it was a truly magnificent performance. Excellent control of the structure and tempo.

[@destein2503]

Absolutely stunning… magnificent ❤

[@matthewottaway8521]

Wow! Flawless playing. What musicality, and what better organ for this French repertoire?

[@zamarioijean4736]

Vous avez une parfaite maîtrise des grandes orgues de Saint-Sulpice, en digne successeur de Daniel Roth ...

[@GuddySmith]

Wonderfull! Bravo, Karol Mossakowski! Thanks for recording and uploading, Pierre-François Dub-Attenti! It seems me that this may be the best place to play the works written by Widor! What does it mean for an organist to play the piece at the same organ like Widoe himself? Are there still notes of Widor wich stops and keybords of the organ he used to play his own works there?

[@GuillaumeDeslandres]

L'art de la déclamation.

[@judithwhitehouse2149]

Superb! though it's always good to play such a wonderful piece on the organ it was written for - see how few registration changes were needed...!

[@henk240546]

👌

[@frankrother1343]

Top level like Jonathan Scott (UK) and others.

[@nizaru100]

Et dire que depuis c. 2010 et l'enregistrement du MAÎTRE Daniel Roth de cette pièce, Y a eu aucun autre enregistr. de cee Allegro de meilleur Qualité sur cet Orgue des Orgues ! ?

[@nizaru100]

Svp, M. Dub-Attenti , pour la Widor toccata , tous les enregistrement video sur KZbin (en fait je vérifie depuis 2005) sont : Soit de qualité pas terrible (surtout la position du Micro ou on entend le mecanisme d'action), soit des fragment, soit non faite par Maître D. Roth , soit de pas HD etc... On aimemerait bien avoir un enregistrement de Widor toccata sur cet Orgue si possible par M. Roth (à part les CD, ya aucun enregistrement complet fait par lui sur KZbin , et n'ooublion pas que les impro par M. Roth des année 2000 n'étéait pas de enregistré par un bon équipement audio-visuel) ! 🙂 Merci Monsieur Dub-Attenti (je pense que vous êtes diplômé Ingénieur, non ?🙂) !

[@aperta7190]

Gut gespielt! Diese Interpretation würde Widor sicher gefallen! (Pedal: das F ist im Bombarde 32 verstimmt....)

[@pierrequibelle9665]

I bez armii asystentów - registratorów ze zwojami papieru w ręku?...Czyli można?
