WAYNE MARSHALL PLAYS SCHMIDT AND WIDOR AT ST SULPICE

[@jeromsimon2145]

Wow two legends sitting together and bravo Wayne that was epic!!!!!

[@chamadeJJ]

Exactly!^^😁👍😆👍

[@JB-td4ei]

Maestro Roth always reminds me of a mad eccentric alchemist when he’s registering for guest organists. He knows the instrument and its idiosyncrasies, and by Jove, it will behave itself in front of guests! Just wonderful!

[@DIDIERDUCRET]

Rhoooooooo it's extraordinary bravo ...

[@limitstoprogress]

Very finely played Widor, nice sharp attack on the notes, but it really should be a bit slower. Wonderful sound from this great organ! Especially the HUGE pedal voices! Great to see Maestro Roth again! Thank you Wayne!! Greetings from Canada!

[@Tribsaboy]

A usual, too fast, it not a race to see who can play it the fastest!

[@FraserGartshore]

Merci Maître! You lucky so and so! Having St Sulpice all to yourself with Daniel at your side - wonderful!

[@poplarboydavid]

A pleasure to see and hear!

[@markjhunter4066]

What can one say? Every cell in my body feels so alive listening to this music on such a grand instrument in such a fine church. A real privilege to partake in this grandeur! And after the music what a lovely and fitting touch to bring the modern communication technology to such an occasion! The wisdom and craftsman’s ship of the organ builders of 1862 is matched by the superb talent of Wayne and Daniel. Timeless!!!!

[@rosazjc]

waou! just fantastic sound!

[@MarekMichalakMusic]

Sharing the bench with the legendary Daniel Roth. Amazing experience and great to hear you play the mighty St Sulpice organ.

[@gabrielafoltynova7689]

St Stulpice organ and Maestro Wayne Marshall - such amazing and celestial combination. THANK YOU very much for a great experience.

[@josephlindquist506]

Franz Schmidt is one of the world's most under-rated composers. His organ works are some of the finest (and most difficult) of the first half of the twentieth century). Three cheers for anyone who undertakes to learn them!

[@fluteharmonique8]

I love his Chaconne in C Sharp Minor

[@josephlindquist506]

@@fluteharmonique8 Rated by Walter Pach as the greatest single work in the entire organ literature. Wheter it is or not, it is probably the most difficult. A manual technique equal to the demands of the Brahms B-flat Piano Concerto is maybe halfway to the demands of the Chaconne. And don't forget the pedals, too. International Ballroom is a literal walk in the park by comparison.

Absolutely incredible. Wayne plays the Schmidt with such great ease, and panache. Thank you.

[@levistrauss8310]

You rock it sir! Great performance!

[@4candles]

Absolutely smashing! Love it.

[@magesterium2485]

Just simply tremendous ! Wayne just communicates so much passion and love in his organ playing. Daniel Roth looks very well. I would be lost at the console without the aid of Daniel Roth and usually two registrants to assist.

[@wprz]

Wonderfully played, I love this piece!

[@davmapchannel832]

Daniel Roth has no time with facebook!😀😀Amazing!

[@Nooticus]

hahaha that made me laugh A LOT!

[@jmdujardin]

quel beau prélude et fugue de F Schmidt vous me faites découvrir, cher Wayne, j'aime beaucoup. Et cette célébrissime Toccata de ChM Widor, que vous interprétez "tout dans la tête", sur un beau tempo bien adapté, bravo à vous ! Merci pour cet hommage à cet ancien organiste de St Sulpice

[@davpal3]

Brilliant as usual Wayne

[@jamessheya7739]

Very deep and emotionally charged compositions played so beautifully by organist Wayne Marshall

[@organloft2001]

Absolutely superb Wayne Bravo 👏

[@andrewbraid1815]

Your speed in the Widor is astounding. Incredibly fleet and also powerful. I've heard a number of recordings with a noticably slower tempo for this - and I like those too - but I really like this a lot. And your coda is just stunning. Tour de force. Bravissimo!

[@sallyandgeoffwalker8290]

Great to hear! Such majesty!

[@hugomayerorgelbau8994]

Great to see you together with Daniel Roth - bravissimo!

[@tmcarter3]

What a fantastic piece... and I am so very glad to see Daniel Roth sharing the console with you.. I have always wanted to visit the Sulpice and touch a piece of actual history.... What an honor for you and us to listen to this piece. Thanks for sharing and keep up the fantastic work!

Hi Adrian! It’s been too long since we last spoke. Hope you are well my friend. Let’s catch up!

[@m99343]

Brilliantly well done Wayne.

[@user-jx3jp3gb4x]

I have heard and recorded quite a few pipe organs in the past 50 years, but the ability to discern the exact "octave" or pitch of the pedal notes is stunning, regardless of the reverberant space which by the way is WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love your playing! WIDOR!!!!!!!!!

[@knollozx]

WOW!! Was für ein Sound, genial gespielt!

[@theorgelmeisterakathesoapm8589]

You play that magnificent instrument so exquisitely well, my friend!

[@dougwhite1811]

Beautiful ❤

[@davidleach1592]

I'm a massive fan of Marshall AND Roth. Some would say Marshall rattles through his pieces. True, but some of them are so explosive it takes your breath away, especially playing Widor. On the flip side if you here Roth play eg the toccata from symphony No 5 (Widor), he does it with the most beautiful nuances that will make you weep! (unless you are a robot). In short - they deserve a place (in their own right) in musical culture. Bravo!

[@WoodymC]

The growling bass is just marvellous, provided you have the appropriate speakers! Hopefully, I'll have the chance to play that magnificient organ by myself --- hopefully! :)

[@Nooticus]

Exceptional video! Great stuff!

Much better! Amazing piece!

[@Greg07623]

You were awesome at St.Thomas this past weekend! Enjoyed the program immensely!

[@PaulThomsonMusic]

Absolutely wonderful. The end of the Widor made all the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. A joy to watch you playing and to hear Daniel's comments. Thank you!

[@renaldtremblay8333]

Excellent!

[@tcharles2466]

Magnificent, as always, Wayne! It is so sad that we cannot see and hear more of you in the UK, these days?

[@m6j159]

Brilliant - I was only reading about this organ and its designer last week, for the first time...what a magnificent instrument, brought to life by Wayne. Thank you.👍👍👍

[@ds1868]

There were several designers for this instrument. It was originally built in the 18th century, but when Cavaille-Coll rebuilt it in the 19th century much of this pipework was retained. This includes much of the reeds and mixtures as well as some of the flue work. Cavaille-Coll believed in respecting and integrating much of the pipework he inherited. This is true of many of his instruments but in the case of St Sulpice as much as 40% of the pipework is 18th century Clicquot. This explains the fiery nature of the reeds and the brilliance of the mixtures. Due to this fact the organ of St Sulpice has a very special nature and can only really be appreciated in person. It stands as the largest instrument ever built by Cavaille-Coll, with 102 stops and over 7,000 pipes.

[@m6j159]

@@ds1868 thank you for a wonderfully informative response👍

[@ds1868]

[@davidstewart4570]

This is shaking the whole neighbourhood just listening to it on my iPad! Marshall, Roth, and Cavaillé Coll; three gods all at the same time! (actually I thought Wayne was a tad pacey with the Widor).

[@WillianLizardo]

Fantastique ♥️🙏🏻

[@garysmith8455]

Hee,hee, soon as I saw the jacket and warm clothing, I KNEW it was cold in that space, and the organ certainly reflected that in it's tuning response to those temps (O: Wonderful just the same!

[@ds1868]

Yes it's certainly cold in the church as there is little heating. It's a vast building and the cost to heat is prohibitive. Tuning is also a huge exercise with over 7,000 pipes. The reeds as usual but the 18th century mixtures need careful attention.

[@peteremerson421]

Bravo!

[@ChriNel.Musics]

Oh well! I really love Franz Schmidt and especially his Cantata "Buch mit sieben Siegel", where the Halleluja chorus - also arranged/reused into a prelude and fuge in D, you played here in the vid - appears in the ending. This Cantata has really difficult organ solo parts! Very interesting interpretation of this piece!

[@michaelgamble296]

Great to see you at Saint Sulpice, Wayne! Quite a change from the Jasbo Brown piano at Glyndebourne. But how does it compare to Norwich? This must be the Organ Widor had in mind for that Toccata - you certainly pulled out all the stops!

[@iestynovich]

I'm grateful, too.

It's way too fast! 😮 We dont play Schmidts Präludium not like that in Germany 😂❤

[@Todd1356]

This is the greatest organ in the world.

[@gordonstevenson9197]

its even better after the twentieth time!

[@TurtleFL]

Interesting seeing Roth give Marshall the same advice about Widor as Joe Diaz was giving other guitarists about playing Black Sabbath... Slow down ;) It lets the music develop more in the hearer's mind (and also in those huge acoustics at St. Sulpice.) :->

[@TurtleFL]

It's written at 118 bpm in 4/2 time.

[@TurtleFL]

And that's how the composer defined its allegro.

[@FabioBadalamentiComposer]

I believe that Daniel Roth will sooner or later be an integral part of the decor of the St. Sulpice organ console!

It is said his ashes shall be merged with the dust within mecanism and pipes

[@FabioBadalamentiComposer]

@@guessouiam7738 ahahahahahahah

[@ForTheLoveOfAudio]

The sense I get when I listen to your style of playing: It's almost like you're saying "Hey, check this phrase out! Oh! Look what they're doing here!" It's like you're pulling all the interesting parts forward, rather than steamrolling through like a player piano.

[@kempedkemp]

Fantastic in every way. Interestingly the grand choeur division of this organ is identical to the 1871 Great division of the original Willis organ in the Royal Albert Hall London. My father played it prior to the rebuilding by Harrison & Harrison in1924 and 1934.

[@rossmorrow3013]

No wonder you were smiling like the cat that got the cream when that famous melody in the pedal line comes back!

[@TurtleFL]

That organ has a pretty fast action when you think about it. It's fast enough to listen to what you're playing. :->

[@TurtleFL]

Fast enough to play Widor's Toccata at nearly double speed and still hear what you're doing lol

You can tell he’s also a conductor from the way he plays.
