Widor Toccata. Played by Casimir Käfling 13 y.o. on the Grand Organ in Hedvig Eleonora Church. 

Fantastic rendition! Some of the other commenters are completely off base.. They can not see the forrest for the trees... This individual organist is 13... Not a doctoral candidate from an ivy leage music school... Each personal recital that is given is how the indivudual interruptes the music; there is the way the original musician scored it; and then the mutitude of private arrangments that each organist give the original score. NOWHERE, did this organist say or indicate this was going to be the original scored / authored version. They simply said they were going to play it... Those that want to tear appart the recital, that was given, are challenged with their own notion of how they think it should be played... They may well, be 100% spot on and correct; however they are not playing the score, nor are they producing the score from memory.... So those naysayers need to put a cork in it and build up this organist and not pickapart what they published and shared with the world... If you want to tear down and pick apart others and be a consistant down voter, do us all a favor; and publish your own works and create you own videos and see how well it goes.... I encourage Casimir and kudo them for a fantastic performance. I so look forward to listening in the future your forth coming works, as you see fit to recite them. Keep up the great job and take some of these knuckleheaded commenters with a grain of salt; and PLEASE dont let their desconstruction of your performance have a negative impact on sharing with enthusist in the future. Great job!

Great, young man! When you get older, i am shure you slow down a bit and relax by playing this beautiful melodies!

excellent performance wish I could play that well

Bravo! I'm so glad there are young organist's coming on scene to keep these wonderful behemoth organs speaking! Even the recording was good!

Casimir, this was a wonderful rendition of this piece I’ve heard dozens of times in my life. You are so talented, and have obviously worked very hard to be able to perform this at age 13. You have a bright future ahead of you. Someday you may be one of the best organists in the world. I hope to hear more from you in the next several years.

The organist of our church, a distinguished college professor, said she would not accept a young organ student until said student had 8 years of piano experience so I did not start organ instruction till I was 13 years old. I played this Toccata at age 16 and also used it among others to audition to be accepted at USC. If I remember correctly I also used it to audition for a church organist position. That was in 1973. I am still currently at the same church. Haven't played this piece in years. Think I'll dig it out of the music archives and work it up again.

Very good interpretation and clearly someone with a bright future in the organ world. Bravo!

It is good to know the organ is safe in the hands of future generations...simply sublime...

What an amazingly talented young person - and a well-paced performance from memory!

Only one word can describe this performance: PHENOMENAL!!!!

What a beautiful piece played from memory. Thanks for letting us hear your music.

Such talent. Incredible. Thank you for sharing this wonderful performance!

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL! Toccata, played by CASIMIR KÄFLING from SWEDEN! This young musician is only 13 years young! He plays the Grand Organ in the Hedvig Eleonora Church in Sweden. AWESOME! Best wishes from me in the Netherlands!

Ooops sorry-----young man!!!

What a magnificent grand Organ wonderfully played by a very talented young lady, congratulations and Bravo!! Best wishes from New Zealand

Don't understand why people think that Casimir, who is playing the organ, is a girl. There are lot of boys that have long hair nowadays - especially musicians. Even old men. Besides, a girl would NEVER put on these organ shoes! (Comment from his very happy and proud grandmother.)

Probably one of the all time best performances anywhere on RU-vid. Or indeed anywhere else! 👏👏

Wonderful young organist, i am overwhelmed with emotion listening to such divine talent 🙏🏼🎶🎵♥️

Been looking for a good rendition of Vidor but its all so lifeless and timid... this however, is excellent. I stopped looking and just listened with SO much pleasure. Well done, this was good... I don't care how old you are, you give the piece true feeling!!!

Splendid! You have the talent. Work hard, and you will have a career at the organ bench. Thank you for this joyous performance.

I wish I could play the organ. You are fantastic - well done.

Please people Casimir is a boy! A fine young musician as well. I've heard many versions by much older organists who lack the musicality and technique.

All I can say is Holly cow big time!! And loved the way you played it!! I started the Organ at 18 years old and you did it younger than me!! All I can say is this; keep up with what you do and you get noticed big time!! and having fun doing it!!

Casimir, This perfect performance was WONDERFUL,you are most talented.Thank You. Sir!

I really enjoyed this. Amazing. You are a star in the making and should have a really great future playing. Keep up the good work

Bravo Casimir: Bravo, bravo. How impressive. You have the makings of a world leading concert organist

Wow !! And playing without music score in front of you.

Registered Perfect for Pedals MagicalPipes :)

Fantastic performance. Refreshing to see a young person playing so well from memory. Charles Widor would be so happy to see this !

amazing, like the way u play & interpret the oeuvre

what an awesome talent at 13 years .god bless you .your amazing .well done an inspiration to all xx

BRAVO !!!!!!!!!! Absolutely fabulous - and honoring the NOT face paced endeavors that Widor winced upon hearing other organists do ! This is BRILLIANT ! Each nuance is honored in your execution . Thank you, Casimir !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my god!! You play the queen lik e a real king!!! Extremely good!! Thank you so much!!🤗🙏

Great work Casimir - and a lovely sounding instrument.

Just stunning Casimir, my god what talent you have…you have been gifted by God himself. I will pray for your continued success and forthcoming outstanding career as a magnificent concert organist, BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO! Adrian listening in from Bermuda! Adrian M Ridgeway, organist of St Theresa’s RC Cathedral, Hamilton, Bermuda…😀😀😀😀😀😀

Very nice, and from memory! The organ is a hybrid with electric drivers and some pipes, no? The lower octave sounds like large, sub-bass speakers.

The king of instruments.

Two things: It's too fast, partly because Widor's tempo is a bit slower. On the other hand, the church has too much resonance, which prohibits high speed. Bravo for the performance.

Absolutely beautiful well played. This Widor Toccata is my favorite and I am still practicing it to this day. Hope I could play it one day. New friend organist here from Manila. Liked ❤️

Casimir Käfling is a boy with long hair.

Bravo. A 'true" recital. Although this piece is straight forward and mechanical, when played "a memory" the music is being played from the heart.

Så vackert och skickligt spelande. Tack och gratulerar Casimir 🌹❤️

Casimir, that was really insane great ❤ Thank you for sharing 🥰

Talentueuse et de jouer cette pièce par coeur , chapeau mademoiselle ,longue vie à découvrir et des instruments prestigieux avec de belles registrations...

Absolutely wonderful, a very talented young man.

Amazing - Widors' Toccata from memory and in such a good interpretation. Congratulations. I also believe to listen to your organ playing often. Tack sa mycket Casimir.

Amazing performance! Fantastic organ!

Fantastic & I see your wearing professional Organ Shoes too!

Gratuliere mein Junge ! Das war hervorragend gespielt ! Vielen Dank ! Congratulations my boy! That was played brilliantly! Thanks very much !

Awesome, keep up the excellent study.

Very nice performance, thank you so much for this splendid experience at an age of 13. I started playing the organ with 14 and continued practicing it up to now with devotion and enthusiasm. Please go on with more videos like this, also with pieces of J.S. Bach, please! He is my favourite composer. 🎼🎹🎵🎶❣️🤗🙏

Absolutely magnificent!!! I can only play the first two pages by memory.

Magnifique exécution! 13 ans, quel bel avenir!

Such a talent and a young age. Bravo!

this was great!

A genius and I am astounded.

He's got it memorized at age 13 and it's down solid.

It's wonderful to hear such a great rendition of this piece by such a talented young player!

Brava! Very nice execution

Well done, Casimir. Awesome.

Que bellísima y poderosa interpretación, muchas gracias ,felicitaciones .

To fast for my taste but well played!

I could hardly breathe toward the end. Amazing.

Very good Casimir. You have a bright musical future ahead of you !

Casimir, a big thumbs up for you! Bravo!

Bravo bravissimo!

😢❤❤J-ar va bra!!!!! Helt fantastiskt! En av mina favoriter o du klämde den extremt bra!!🤗🔥🔥👍👍👍👍👍👍 Tack så mycket!!🙏🙏

Well played!

That was pretty awesome

Very moving performance, and memorized ..Wow. Looking forward to future videos. Thanks

Magnificent! Thank you so much, Casimir Käfling!

One of my favorite pieces that I loved to hear my Dad play in our church. In 1971 we finally got a small pipe organ to replace the old electronic Hammond.

I Perry much enjoy! so well done! and example hung people do bring church music 2 next level! THANK YOU

BRAVO !!!!!

Bravooo o o !! excellent

Bravo

Amazing

You play fantastically well, but this is way TOO fast. All of Widor's intended articulation is lost in your speed. Music isn't a race. Please don't fall into the speed trap that Bish and her allies seem to support. Listen to Widor himself playing his own composition. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-J8vz1D_L_OE.html or my favourite interpretation of this by Benjamin Morris at York Minster ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5lBH5niBZMI.html

Perfect tempo and a wonderful performance !

A very enjoyable performance by a talented young organist, and entirely from memory too. Most impressive! I hope we can look forward to more recitals from this young man.

Excellent! Wouldn't hurt to slow down a teeny bit, though...!! Let the acoustics catch up with your talent!!

Beautiful playing! Hope to hear more from you!

Very impressive rendition for such a young talent. Unhurried and with feeling.

Absolutely stunning playing!!

Bravo!

Well done, young man!

Beautiful, Merci.

Класс

excellent pace.

Very beautifully played on a magnificent pipe organ

C'est extraordinaire ! Mille fois BRAVO !

Wouah !!!

Beautifully played.
