Thomas Ospital plays Charles-Marie WIDOR - Allegro Vivace from 5th Symphonie

[@simoncorti1867]

Quelle poésie. Merci Monsieur Ospital

[@Klaus-ft1si]

Organ music has been my great passion for more than 40 years. I thought I had heard almost all the great organists...then came Thomas Ospital...WOW!👍👍

[@mr2646]

Tous ces contrastes de couleur, ces nuances, cette énergie. Merci Thomas. On n'en perd pas une miette.

[@antonmeyer7369]

Oh he misses Many beats, that defines his free treatment of the tempo. It is beautiful though, but I can now not trust his tempo at Any point..

[@james.flores]

Incredible memory work, playing and the organ is just the icing on the cake. Thanks for sharing this delicious upload. Like if you agree 👍😎

[@scottwexlin6456]

You ain't kiddin'! Wow!

agreed! :)

[@darrylmiller9962]

This is one of the finest performances of this piece I've heard. Bravo, Thomas! I subscribe to all his KZbin performances and have heard him in performance on tour. He's one of the four or five best in the business today.

[@larrywoods6318]

One of the most talented organist playing today.....so young and also very handsome.

[@normanchristie4524]

A welcome change from the old stuffed shirts of yesteryear......!

[@vinyalonde]

Great work! Exciting performance. Not to take anything away from the skill of the organist but I am amazed at the organ: such range and complexity.

[@marieelisabeth7210]

7:56, mon moment préféré, je suis aux anges lorsque je vous écoute, cher Thomas !!!!!

[@alanbarthel1611]

A great musician, a fantastic instrument, and a marvellous acoustic! Bravissimo!

[@antonmeyer7369]

Very colourful and skilled, great clarity and definition of motifs, great liberty taken in tempo.

[@marccheban194]

This is THE MOST exciting and nuanced performance of this movement I have ever heard...it almost left me in tears. Thomas: You have captured the 'French' essence of this music and have clearly laid out its structure in your registration and tempo flexibility at important cadences. When you start to add all those glorious reeds your playing changes and becomes fiery and aggressive, as if the reeds are calling out to you. I feel like you have set free the soul of this amazing instrument and given joy to its expression. This is a gift that not even many French organists have. Your performance is truly French in every possible way. Felicitations! Thank you for using the 32' in the 'chorale' variation. Once Americans are allowed in Europe again and the Covid restrictions, I would love to come back to Paris, meet you and take you for a meal. My mother was native French and I'm been to that beautiful country over a dozen times. Thank you!

En dehors de tout le reste : je n'imagine pas pouvoir me souvenir d'un tel morceau de musique. Je suis étonné!

[@gemmacoebergh8062]

One of the best performances I ever heard of this piece! And I like it that is was played 'upstairs'. That is the best place for music of Widor.

[@barnarus2547]

Perfection.

brillant . et quel doigté !

Merci pour cette splendide interprétation ! Cela sonne à merveille à St Eustache ! Bravo !!!

I was on the edge of my seat for the whole piece, bravo!

Quand l'art musical a un tel Maitre , il doit être " vénéré " et " adulé " fortement . Le talent n'a pas d'âge . Thomas l'incarne avec justesse , sensibilité et force . Eblouissant , connaisseur de ses Oeuvres et leurs Auteurs il incarne le Ciel dans sa Splendeur . Divin Thomas , merci .... OOOO

Wow that was awesome.

[@markjamesorganandpiano321]

Superb! What a joy to see and hear, and from memory. Bravo!

[@powerofalto]

Outstanding! There’s a fantastic feeling of continuity in this performance despite the myriad changes in registration, keyboards, etc. This sense of continuity is conveyed, at least partly, through clarity of tempo, rhythm, and articulation.

[@mwan8846]

[@gabbeman1975]

Beautiful! No rush. The music simply comes to life . Bravo!

[@charlesleyes870]

Merci Thomas. Nous vous apprecions ici aux Etats Unis aussi.

[@eMBe83]

It's absolutely the best performance I've ever heard. Your playing "legato" makes me delighted. Widor would be proud if He could see you playing his works.

[@jacsavoie7672]

MERCI Thomas Ospital, c'est vraiment vivant votre interprétation...

[@josedomingosgiffonirosa8362]

[@jeremywhimster4746]

The best rendition of this I have heard. Congratulations Thomas.

[@T0NYD1CK]

That was amazing! I set this off as some background music but ended up giving it my full attention complete with headphones. If a performance grabs my attention like this I know it is special and this was special "with knobs on!" Great job. Tempi sounded right; registration brought out aspects I had not noticed previously. I lost count of the registration changes! But it all fitted together seamlessly. This is my new favourite Widor 5 Allegro.

[@Contre-Bombarde32]

Superbe interprétation! Bravo Thomas👏👏👏

Whoaouuuu!!!! De loin la meilleure interprétation que j’ai entendu de cette œuvre que j’aime particulièrement, j’aimais beaucoup celle du regretté P. Pincemaille jusque là.... mais là, c’est un cran au dessus !! Un tempo juste, et enfin des respirations dans cette œuvre, souvent jouée tellement vite qu’on n’entend plus les nuances, registration parfaite, bref bravo et grand merci !!
