This unedited video is a kind of behind-the-scenes view from the magnificent organ console at St Sulpice in Paris.
I play first the Prelude & Fugue in D by Franz Schmidt, and then at around 10'33, The TOCCATA from Symphonie no.5 by WIDOR!
I am very grateful to Maestro Daniel Roth for allowing me to post this video for me to share with everyone!

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!

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!

I love his Chaconne in C Sharp Minor

@josephlindquist506 2 жыл бұрын

@@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.

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!!!!

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!

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 2 жыл бұрын

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.

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!

@ds1868 2 жыл бұрын

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.
