Toccata (Symphonie V) Charles-Marie Widor - Olivier Penin Orgue Ste-Clotilde Paris

[@m.j.r.dehaan1824]

Charles Marie Widor est l'un de mes compositeurs français préférés, ayant entendu la célèbre Toccata de la 5e symphonie pour orgue sur l'orgue Michael Maarschalkerweerd de 1890 à l'âge de 17 ans au Royal Concertgebouw d'Amsterdam, aux Pays-Bas. J'ai sur le CD de la marque Motette toutes les oeuvres pour orgue d'orgues français et d'organistes français. Très bien joué ! Merci pour le téléchargement sur KZbin. Avec une salutation musicale de Hoorn Nh. , Les Pays-Bas

[@albertpeckham8708]

This young man plays it with restraint. I truly hate when it is performed as horse race. The harmonies of this composition are subtle and magnificent. It is the performer who has the task of bringing these harmonies to life. Bravo...maestro!

[@dleimkuehler]

I must say that whist he is a very good player, I do tire of playing this piece as fast as you can. It needs to breath, especially in a large room. I play it much slower...and many think I'm wrong or don't have the ability to play as fast as Diane Bish or Virgil Fox. Just my input.

[@martinwright4125]

particularly so in the section where the swell division carries on the major theme. the piece is so often shabbily treated in the execution, because the organist so often becomes preoccupied w/ expression shades, over/under produced sound, or combinations of myriad distractions. nevertheless, the organist hear caught my attention throughout, and he lead me to hearing a very respectable rendition of this nice little piece. i say bully for him.

[@larrymerkle1672]

@@dleimkuehler I agree. There's a video here of Diane Bish playing this piece, which I think is dreadful.......so heavy-handed, no subtlety and so damned fast, like she has to get through it so fast so she run to catch her plane.

[@briang.4249]

This young man has blown me away playing one of my favourite pieces of music. To be able to play the pipe organ with so much confidence is amazing. To be able to have the right inflections and interpretations of this most beautiful piece is beyond words.

[@willoooooooob9]

It's so heart warming to see so many young people showing interest in the pipe organ. This young man is amazingly talented and I thoroughly enjoy watching and hearing him. Thank you Olivier Penin........!!!

[@rivermite1966]

First time I've seen Trainers on an organ pedal board! Still Olivier is peerless.

[@bowlerrollercoaster]

I am 14 and I have been playing the organ since I was 9. I want to be a concert organist as my career. I would love to play an organ from Cavaille-Coll, because I think they are some of the best instruments in the world. I am currently learning Guilmant's Final from Symphony No. 1.

[@philipsmith3084]

Probably the most musical interpretation I have heard. Beautiful, Olivier! Tecnically flawless as well.

[@black20greenn22]

Quelle maîtrise de l'instrument , absolument parfait pour ce type de musique . L' organiste fait preuve d'une finesse incroyable dans les nuances . Grand Bravo à O. Penin.

I adore this piece and happened upon Olivier Penin quite by chance several weeks ago. I keep coming back to his videos almost every day. He is so skilled and I enjoy his style. Magnifique!

[@madameschnupperfein]

Who pushes the thumbs down button here?!?? Jeez, learn to play this yourself and then you can judge. In my humble opinion one of the best versions on KZbin. Perfectly paced. Love the organ. And: great style, yellow patch, yellow shoes 👌🏼

[@janetlindley4465]

Stunning performance Olivier. I love the music of Widor 🙂 Thank you for sharing.

Olivier, heureux de te retrouver sur KZbin. Merci pour l'excellente interpretation d'une oeuvre bien connue et toujours tres appreciee. Cet instrument est parfait pour cette musique.

[@linddaipauls3584]

I love it when an organist play from memory because,in my opinion, they are playing from the heart. Job well done.

[@antoinemonsel]

Definitely one of the best version. Great flow with a nicely matched tempo. Congrats. Bravo Olivier !

[@simontaylor2319]

Olivier - a good name to have if you want to an excellent organist!

This is exactly the appropriate pace. This piece tends to be on the edge of being played to fast or too slow - this version here is PERFECT! Thank you! 🖤🎶🎵

[@markharrington508]

Outstanding, best Widor ever. Thank you so much.

[@christinebeckett5511]

Great tempo, beautifully phrased, performed for memory i.e., by heart and *with so much heart*--love watching his face.

[@davef.2811]

Wonderful presentation, Mr. Penin!

And can we please appreciate this magnificent organ 😱

[@bowlerrollercoaster]

Great performance! I absolutely love the French Symphonic sound and Cavaille-Coll was a genius

[@stanley8869]

Bravo, maestro! What wonderful playing. The tempo was restrained which is what the composer would have wanted. And what an impressive instrument - Monsieur Penin effortlessly deals with the pedal work (in his striking sport shoes) and doesn't miss a beat.

[@adel-711]

My favorite , The organist is excellent. Top marks.

[@filotube73]

Bravissimo, Stupenda interpretazione

[@adriverschoor4975]

This is perfect. Usually I do not listen to the end when this Warhorse of organ litterature appears on my screen. This one however I could nót turn off. What a rhythmical precision. Up to and including the last page, which is the most dangerous😂. Chapeau cher Maitre!

[@tomazfortuna174]

Perfect, no mistakes. Bravo !

[@Wazzap54]

Two hands . Two legs, two feet. Magnificent coordination. I can’t get my head around how someone’s brain allows them to play like this.

[@horsemeattball]

I'm not a musician, but just watching someone play an instrument that requires use of all four extremities is mind-boggling. The pipe organ has to be the most difficult instrument to play well.

[@jr_freiberg]

Magnífico órgano y excelente organista.

[@nicolaspetit9551]

bravissimo !!!!! vous êtes un grand musicien, Olivier !!

[@spacemissing]

Excellent use of split screen! It's good to be able to really watch the musician playing. Maybe --- as is so often the case --- it was taken a little fast, but fortunately not at a racing pace. The high quality sound makes for a superior listening experience, and the organ itself contributes a lot to to this.

[@Lengsham]

On the J.Hamelle Edition 1901 copy its marked Allegro Crotchet beat: 118. Which in the case of this performance it's at the right tempo. However, the new edition was revised and modified by Widor himself. Maybe earlier copies were marked slower?

[@hubertmartin6986]

great....think its the right tempo that Widor wanted it to be played......

[@maval4537]

No, it's definitively not... There are more than one historical recordings of Widor himself playing his famous Toccata...

[@LauraMorland]

I agree with Ma Val -- I've just heard an excerpt of Widor playing it himself, and it is DEFINITELY SLOWER. Interesting that so many people are commenting on Penin's "restraint" -- apparently there are those who dash through this wonderful piece! If you can understand French, here's a course on Widor -- the excerpt from the Toccata is not quite 30 minutes in. kzbin.info/www/bejne/noG2k6KXlL6FntE
