Widor Toccata.. but with a 32' Bombarde this time!

[@larryboekeloo5514]

WOW! WOW! WOW! You still have to learn the ending?????? It was fabulous Paul! Thanks so very much. It's such a pleasure to see and hear you play. You are an inspiration to every organist.

[@jonb4020]

Ich habe auch mit dem mittleren Abschnitt zu kämpfen! Es ist schön, dass du deine Videos zeigst, ohne die Fehler zu verstecken - wir alle machen Fehler. Grüße aus Yorkshire an meine deutsche Lieblingsstadt, Leipzig. 🙂

[@indemidova]

Wonderful! BRAVO!!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@michaelpfaff6009]

This piece is probably my all-time favorite!!! I love these videos!! Excellent sound from that organ!! Thank you sir!!!!!!

[@gerardklehm1902]

So incredibly fabulously to hear and watch!!! Thank you so much!!!!❤❤❤

[@RoydenWilkinson]

Dear Paul , that was awesome!! You have amazing facility!! I know how much strength and endurance that piece requires. Between your piano technique and playing on a lot of tracker organs, you certainly keep up your facility. I love that piece , the sound of that organ and you and these inspiring videos! Thank you so much, Royden

[@peternaryd_operasinger]

[@annettewegra7302]

Wundervoll! Du bringst meine Seele zum Klingen!

[@auralsonicwaves7170]

Not bad. Better than I can play it for sure! Love the work.

[@Zoom_1012]

The look on your face at the end was just priceless. But, what I will say to you, is you can make ANYTHING sound amazing. You are so gifted and talented (bloopers and all). 🌴🌞🌴

[@davidmcgladdery892]

Wonderful registration and tempo.

[@Christina-yo8qw]

Ich mag es so. Danke Paul

[@kopfhorer5742]

Großartig Paul Fey. 👌👌👌

[@hughbryant1326]

I thoroughly enjoyed your rendition of Vidor's toccata. Please play more on this organ and some background work would be interesting. Thank you Paul.

[@ExAnimoPortugal]

No need to rush! I love the slower tempo :D

[@davidcraggs3770]

It should be slower

[@anthonywcsu]

I'm finally learning this piece now! I picked up the first few pages years ago but never got past that point. My goal is to have it ready for Christmas. Excellent playing, as usual!

[@marie-jeannegoedert6710]

wunderschön majestätisch ich liebe diese Toccata

[@brendachandler4560]

Bravo!

[@brianmee657]

What an absolutely wonderful sound!!! Alpha +++

So leicht und locker, wunderbar ❤

[@steffensindermann3220]

Hallo, lieber Paul. Den Widor beherrscht du doch! Habe mich üeber mein Lieblings Orgelstück sehr gefreut. Danke für deine Musik. Genial die Bässe. Es ist ein Traum, dir zu zu hören. Zum Schluss ist noch ein kleiner Schnitzer drin. Widor ist eben was ganz Besonderes. Freue mich schon auf das nächste Mal. Liebe Grüße sende ich dir. Die Toccata Nr. 5 hört sich auf der Sonnenorgel genau so gut an. Davon kann man sich beim Orgelspiel zur Heiligen Nacht überzeugen. Ich liebe es! Vielleicht mal von dir gespielt??? PS: Virgil Fox war auch ein genialer Organist.

[@dersachse7482]

Bravo Maestro Paul Fey 👌👍

[@markcooke729]

That pedal reed certainly thunders! 16' or 32' regardless, it's glorious!

[@orgelpfeife5268]

Vielen Dank, wunderbar Paul Fey. ❤❤❤

[@alois2709]

Sehr schön Paul Fey ich freue mich. ❤

[@mspg2]

wow that 32 foot bombarde - magnificent Paul. You have a great sense of humour -if we can't laugh at ourselves we may as well be robots. ps it works in relationships too. Best wishes from your old Australian/Scottish friend.

[@grlanger]

Just beautiful!

[@helgafallgatter4944]

Supi...😂 weiter so, bis es perfekt sitzt . Bin begeistert. 👍👍👍 .

[@klivipride6796]

A quote from Widor, from Vierne's autobiography: "Grandeur is the organ’s essential characteristic. ‘This is because, of all musical instruments, the organ alone can sustain sound indefinitely and with the same intensity. The organ can be picturesque only rarely and, even then, care must be taken not to expect it to imitate orchestral and pianistic effects. That would be an inartistic parody. Although Bach has left some miraculously descriptive works, it must be noted that pieces in this style are in a very small minority compared with those in very slow or moderate tempos. Moreover, independent of all other considerations-basic and quite important-the very nature of the organ’s sound and the absence of a percussive attack are contrary to the concept of great velocity. The organ is almost always played too fast. Young people easily yield to the desire to dazzle the audience by this means. Beware! It is a false virtuosity appropriate to the circus-not the tribune.”

I want this for my wedding recessional

[@tmcarter3]

Fantastic work Paul! Are you going to do you usual arrangement of this piece and score it?

[@gero6488]

Mir gefällt das Tempo 👌👍👏

[@frpaddy]

💥💥💥💥💥👏👏👏👏👏

[@user-sb4wy8kd2n]

Und weil ich es bei Fb kommentiert habe, der eine mag es der andere so und Vidor hat noch mehr komponiert hier nochmal ⭐⭐⭐

[@Edolvo]

Hallo, Paul! Ich bewundere Deine Videos schon seit 2 Jahren. Welche Schritte hast Du getan, um zu erreichen dieses heutige grandiose Orgel-Spiel? Welche Lehrer + Improvisations-Techniken + Praxis-Übungen + Pedal-Hand-Unabhängigkeiten + ...? Ich würde mich sehr freuen, falls Du mir gibst Inspirationen, denn ich lerne Orgel, aber bin noch Anfänger. Gruß, Jan

[@jonclassical2024]

Where is my favorite German Organist in shorts?! I have been in Western Europe in July/August/September...its HOT AF and there is no A/C !!!!

[@manfredn909]

Prima gespielt, Paul! Übrigens, blättert die Notenapp eigentlich selbst um, hört die mit, oder wie geht das? 😊

[@Jaguar79gt]

das klingt einfach nur geil.... 🥰👍 woher weiß das tablet, wann es umblättern muss.... läuft das über das mikro?

[@robertrawley1115]

Paul hi, very recent subscriber since your Italian Tour. From your playlist titles I can't figure out whether you have some teaching videos where you just talk more about different organs and how they're constructed. Full mechanical? Pneumatic? Hybrids and electric? I was wondering what the largest organ you've ever had the pleasure of playing? And with that how difficult is it to learn an organ with many more manuals and ranks than you're used to? So if there is a playlist with some of this information please direct me, otherwise please consider doing more educating in a video or two. Reading the history of pipe organs in Wikipedia starting three centuries before Christ is fascinating but I would much rather, hear and see it from somebody who plays these magnificent instruments and also enjoys the history's. Wiki noted that the Pipe Organ was the most complicated device ever created by man from the 17th century until the late 19th century when the telephone exchange was first created. That's incredible! And how anyone could learn to play all the different types would be interesting to me at least, and I think others.

[@hansbeestman7460]

Oke ok gelukt prachtig groeten van Hans van Zwolle Nederland

[@kesmarn]

"Because I can!" Great answer! 😀 (To the question of why you play this so fast...)

[@danielschadlich5783]

Sehr schön auch schön dich mal deutsch sprechen zuhören das könntest du öfter machen

[@noiselesspatient]

And next some staccato, perhaps?

[@paultidd9332]

You say English organ - built by who? Is it all pipe organ or digital? It looks a small organ case for such a large instrument.

[@kingmichealthefirstofroman2278]

Can you play noosphere from warhammer

[@matthewiskra771]

You don't get 32' bombards on your Roland or Moog.

[@quentinbush]

That sounds better but still not perfect.. I boil it down to nerves. I used to be able to play the beginning of this piece but sadly my fingers have lost their versitility through lack of practice.
