Seattle Chamber Orchestra - led by Music Director Lorenzo Marasso - was founded in 2021 and is rooted in the cherished Pacific Northwest's casual and open culture and brings together the region’s top instrumentalists to create an all-sensory experience of music where you are invited to be part of the experience rather than merely witnessing it.
The Seattle Chamber Orchestra seeks to bring music lovers tantalizing combinations of the traditional and modern, performed by world-class professional musicians. Brought to life through thoughtful programming that educates as much as it inspires, SCO seeks to reinvigorate live classical music by providing opportunities for musicians and audiences to explore traditional and new music and challenge established boundaries.
Interesting. I came here after hearing the "performing version" of the second movement of Mahler's Piano Quartet. I may explore more of Schnittke. Thanks for posting this.
Widor la jouait beaucoup plus lentement à Saint-Sulpice mais il s'adaptait à l'acoustique de l'église. A Notre-Dame c'est pareil les pièces sont souvent jouées plus lentement pour s'adapter au mieux à l'acoustique.
I had the pleasure of seeing Wayne Marshall perform this piece tonight on the organ at the Walt Disney Concert Hall. Magnifico! It brought tears to my eyes.
Wuuuuuuoouuuu! Qué maravillosas obras en magníficas voces. Si no fuera por la tecnología de vídeo nos perderíamos de momentos tan sublimes. Felicitaciones a todas y todos los músicos y personal que intervino para nuestro disfrute. Saludos desde México ❤🎉🎉❤❤
Such a beautiful work! Congratulations all! What is special here is the Maestro’s Tempo ! Most of time they kill the Contralto’s aria making too slow! Wonderful! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤💯👌🏻
Well I guess if you have to play the Widor at break neck speed like you’ve got the cops hot on your tail - THATS THE WAY TO DO IT! Wayne you are one incredible musician. Thank you for sharing your talent. I also love how you gesture to the organ at the end. Let’s face it though no matter how good an organ is, it’s only as good as the organist makes it sing.
I also play the toccata. I enjoy his playing even though it's a little fast. I don't think there's just one way of interpreting the music. Widor might have preferred a slower tempo but I think he also would like to see his music being played differently.
Yes, it was FAST, but it was - at all times - under control and perfectly articulated...no small feat. As for Widor, I love the 1932 recording - but remember - Widor was nearly 80 when he made that recording, and even joked that , at his age, he was nearer the grave than the organ console. Time and place, as they say.
