Is the organist not the most coordinated "multi-tasker" of the music world??!! This performance is stunning in every way, especially for its musicality! I love this! So clear-- even in the midst of this beehive of notes and activity-- the organist brought out phrasing and melody that i haven't heard before in other performers' interpretations. He is to be commended and congratulated. 🏆👏 Of all organists I've seen play this, he looks here the most at ease, comfortable, and happy with this beautiful masterpiece. And consequently-- so are we! Bravo!!! 🏆🎹🎶♥️👏 (P.S. no, I don't know him, nor are we related. 😅)
Absolutely Magnificent ! , I have heard many people play this , (YOU ARE THE BEST I HAVE EVER HEARD PLAY THIS !)😀, Absolutely PERFECT !, perfect tempo, ***Charles-Marie Widor , would be So Proud of You !, the way you played his Master Piece.☺🙂😊
very impressive, and the execution has certainly given me a feeling of being overwhelmed. I always loved this particular piece... I think I still have an old vinyl recording of Marie-Claire Alain performing this masterpiece. I also loved the way we could watch the foot work... This performance really is VERY VERY GOOD!
Prachtig geluid. Wij hoorde het helemaal van Australië. Heel mooi! Ik kan nog herineren met mijn school naar het concert gebouw geweest in 1969. Ik ben nu 42 jaren hier, maar kan het herineren als gisteren.
« The » Bach toccata ? How do you mean, THE Bach toccata ? As if Johann Sebastian Bach had written ONE toccata. There are so many. A good many of which at least as impressive, if not more, than BWV 565. Now the question is : who knows more about Bach than this only one piece ? Even among organists, apparently.
I've performed this piece of widor on the 7 manual midmer-losh pipe organ in the boardwalk Hall in Atlantic city NJ, playing this piece on the largest pipe organ in the world was epic, playing the organ on 85% full.
Wat een prachtige muziek en opname! Ik zit hier thuis te genieten bij de tv met geluid via de geluidsinstallatie. Wat een luxe dat streamen. Dank je wel Jeroen , ik hoop dat heel veel mensen hier ook van genieten.
My God!... This Duyschot/church is (are) quite a problem. The audio is a mess... I have been in Westerkerk for so many recitals, and... always this horrible issue. It must be said that the organist is doing his best, trying to play almost "détaché", but... It is of no use. It would be "uitstekend"... on another instrument!
Cette Toccata est jouée à la perfection, avec les accents indiqués par Widor sur les temps forts, et au bon tempo . L'orgue est approprié à cette musique . Bravo .
A no hurry pace, registration and that pedal base - just perfect. Monumental. Thanks, I have heard many recordings of this master piece, but, my goodness, this surpasses them all!
Herinner Jeroen Koopman nog als collegaorganist in de Gereformeerde Kerk te Zandvoort lang geleden met zijn vader Arthur Koopman; hij is wel wat verder in de orgelwereld gekomen dan ik. Het zij hem gegund en wens hem veel succes op zijn verdere muzikale loopbaan!!
