Saint-Eustache organ, Thomas Ospital plays Debussy's Danse (Nov 2016) 

Magnifique.

FANTASTIC!!!

Some of these mixtures are amazing. They sound just like a glass harmonica.

incredible performance……WOW……

The artistry and musicianship on display here is breathtaking. Simply brilliant.

Splendide, fin ,élégant, coloré. Debussy n'aurait pas osé sans doute, mais un tel instrument manié avec autant de talent permet tout ...

Oh my, a very young Thomas Ospital, yet a true master of this instrument already! Very fine arrangement, registrations and performance! Thank you, from Canada!

Magnifique musique, magnifique interprète !!

More Ospital!!!

Truly superb!

What a monumental instrument! Love the sound and the competency of the this good organist. Kudos monsieur Thomas.

Brillante transcription d'une oeuvre qu'on n'imagine pas forcément exécutable à l'orgue. L'interprétation est à la hauteur de ce défi que Claude Debussy n'aurait certainement pas désavoué. Belle registration et bien sur, très bel instrument.

Brilliant Thomas. Discovered on You Tube in virus lockdown. An outstanding performance!

magnifique ; entendre des oeuvres de Debussy à l'orgue ( et quel orgue !) c'est réjouissant

Even ONE 'dislike' is ridiculous, but twenty-five? This playing is flawless and Thomas is a true musician.

Such a wide variety of stops, and wonderfully utilized. Amazing technique and artistry with someone so young! And this grand instrument is simply amazing! Très magnifique!

Just one word: brilliant. Thomas u re genious. Deffinitely. 🤩

Bravo!

The music has a poetic beauty!

Thomas, your playing is so virtuostic and musical. A flawless performance. Bravo! Pierre-Francois, thank you for posing this delightful performance.

I have not heard this piece for organ before, nor have I heard Thomas. I was completely carried away by both. I have to admit that the use of the modern combination action adds so much to the tonal variety when it becomes so quickly and subtly useful. So pleased to hear the organ used so well. Compliments. And gratitude to Pierre for making it available here. Let's hear more from Thomas Ospital, please.

Thomas, your parents must be so proud of you.What an amazing performance.also thanks to Pierre for filming it.

I love this instrument! May it sing forever! How lucky that St. Eustache chose the greatest organist of the 21st century . . . so far! TO ALL OF YOU ORGAN AFICIONADOS . . . Thomas Ospital will be at Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania, U.S., next month, June 20 - 24, 2023 to judge the International Organ Competition where students will compete for the $40,000 Pierre S. du Pont First Prize, the largest cash prize of any organ competition in the world. He will participate in a lecture on organ transcriptions.

C'est vraiment d'une beauté. Merci Thomas

Magnifique ! délicat et plein de poésie. Bravo pour cette superbe interprétation ! Et bravo pour l'excellente prise de vue !

Gracias Caro por compartir la Iglesia, oye y el coro muy bonito, te mando saludos y bendiciones para ti y toda la familia 🙏😘

Époustouflant ! Comme d’habitude c'est remarquable. Bravo Thomas ainsi qu'aux petites mains derrières qui mettent en scène ce fabuleux spectacle !

Du grand art ! Ou plutôt du grand orgue ! Bravo aussi aux virtuoses de la vidéo ;-)

I am in LOVE with the console....and of course the music and the performance....wonderful

Such an exciting performance! It must be a great relief to have such a combination action, too. Video and audio both excellent. Thank you for posting this!

A pedal glissando! 😲 Wow. Such fireworks. Debussy does not lend its self well to organ, but one would never know that here.

Bellissima resa grazie ad una sapiente scelta di registri! Molto bravo!

A wonderful transcription, and a very fine performance.

Jeune organiste prodige, digne successeur de Jean Guillou ! Thomas Ospital nous fait savourer les merveilleuses sonorités de ces grandes orgues ... Savoureuse transcription !

Redécouverte absolument totale de cet orgue... finalement fabuleux !

Superbe ! Très grand bravo Thomas et aussi toute la production audio-vidéo remarquable

thoroughly enjoyed. and i love the shoelaces!

Beautifully and Masterly played, I love that console too, just fabulous.

Wow! This is magnificent. Will visit Saint Eustache when I next visit Paris.

For me, fabulous in every way. Great video work too to include footwork & registration changes at the right moments. Thank you :)

Beautifully played!

What an incredible piece! The piano version is great, but the colors and excitement and sounds of this arrangement are amazing! I must learn this.

Positively brilliant playing. And I love the blue shoe laces.......:-)

Fantastic 🎉

Extremely nicely transcribed and played. Superb.

wow I like the awesome ending!

Beautiful playing. Haters will hate.

Trop fan ! Bonheur ! Merci Monsieur.

Absolutely masterful rendering!

Wonderful! Thank you, Pierre, for sharing this well done video.

Fantastic in every possible way. A seemingly effortless performance of enormous skill. So wonderful to watch from beginning to end. This famous organ needs little commentary from me: so much has already been written about this magnificent instrument. So, let me just simply say: "Bravo!" -MAS

Bravo Thomas Merci aussi à Thierry Hirsch pour la transcription

wow, great playing and a nice organ arr.

Tout simplement magnifique. Cette œuvre s'adapte très bien pour cet instrument, pour moi, l'un des meilleurs de la ville. Cet instrument est tout simplement exemplaire, rien à voir avec St Sulpice qui aurait demandé un travail fou aux "registreurs"... sans parler du cliquetis envahissant de la machine Barker absolument trop bruyante.. (Oups... Daniel ne va pas être content!!)

that organ is amazing sounding

Absolutely Amanzing!

Superb! Bravo!

St Eustache kann sich glücklich schätzen, zwei solche einander ergänzende Titulaires zu haben. Mes meilleurs voeux!

Nice, when i will go to Paris i must to visitthese church and organ to.

Amazing, My Name is Eustace and Debussy is being performed in a Church named after Saint Eustace

very nice, the organist is cute as well.

Wonderful - absolutely wonderful ! I wonder if Saint-Sulpice will ever get a technical upgrade of a toe piston or thumb pistons in the future?

BRAVO!!!!!!

Bravo bravo bravo!

Magnifique, un exemple parfait pour definir ce qu'est l'orgue symphonique.

Fabuleux!

I Very much enjoied this many thanks

Fantastic!!

+ Jhr. Humphrey: Your playing is Wonderful.

I'd love to watch a live from Saint Eustache organ. Is it possible?

Pierre-François and Thomas are WONDERFUL organists. I think I read the former's sadly going to be a lawyer but I realize one must pay the bills!

Wonderful!

Superb!

Unbelievably pretty!

In één woord prachtig!

A question, what is he doing with is feet on the round stops? Is he switching between pre-programmed registrations?

trés bon jeu

WOW! :o

perfekt beautifull

You have to be very coordinated to play the pipe organ, since your hands are doing one thing and ur doing something completely different with your feet. Simply amazing!🎼🎶🎵🎹

Noce music,Bravo! I amici organista to andComposer.

beautiful! nice shoes lol

Ecouter Debussy, c'est abolir le déferlement de bruits et d'images du quotidien pour entrouvrir l'espace d'un ailleurs où la contingence et la représentation cèdent la place à l'immatérialité du sensible. Une fois refermée la porte sur l'agitation du monde, un silence sous-jacent s'installe, une lenteur saisit, préludes à une dilatation de la perception et de la conscience. Le pouvoir expressif de l'architecture sonore rompt avec toute forme de transcription du réel pour s'attacher à l'expression d'un univers insaisissable. La couleur et le rythme des compositions constituent un langage qui donne voix à l'exaltation.

neskutočne krásne

아! 이 오르간 한번 ..........프랑스 대성당 설피 오르간

Fabuleux!

Bravo!
