L un des seuls à jouer dans le tempo...et de nous faire entendre toutes les notes....bien agréable

The best interpretation ever on one of the best organs in the world played by one of the best organists in the world.

Widor said that the most difficult part of the piece was to get the staccato in the left hand. This gentleman has mastered it!!

An excellent organist, a magnificent Cavaillé-Coll tracker organ, and Widor's Toccata played at its composer's intended tempo. Some of God's greatest gifts! Thanks!

The limpid lines, the relaxed hands, the completely free-flowing rhythm set this performance apart!

Quel tempo, c’est émouvant, on entend très très bien toutes les notes. Beaucoup beaucoup d’organistes jouent cette toccata bien trop vite. Wonderful.

THE REAL THING. I never thought I could get excited again about a performance of the Widor Toccata, but I was wrong. When you can hear (and watch) The Real Thing, it's electrifying. Tempo, touch, transitions, sound...oh, and notes -- all are perfect, just as written by the composer. Getting to see him make the seamless crescendo with the pedal levers without moving a single stop knob is valuable to us organists in other countries. This video is certainly a masterclass on how to play this popular piece properly, and it's a great joy to hear. Magnifique ! Thank you, Johann.

He is one of VERY few performers who give the pairs of eighth notes in the beginning the proper articulation indicated in the score: 1st 8th accented, 2nd 8th staccato. It makes a noticeable difference in the sound. Also, he has chosen a perfect temp for the room. Bravo! Felicitations!

This gentleman can really play----what an artist!

Non seulement l'exécution est parfaite, mais les images sont un régal, notamment le plan sur les volets de la boîte expressive! Je ne me lasserai jamais de cette pièce qui me fit tomber amoureux de l'instrument-roi il y a bien des années !

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite organs

Interprétation transcendante, technique au rendez-vous, c’est grandiose! Du très grand orgue!

Un grand merci pour cette belle interprétation. Magistral !

The organ is really breathtaking, great execution!!!!

Just magnificent! The magnificence of the organ literally brought tears to my eyes. Superbly played Johann

I love the perfectly timed addition of the Contre-Bombarde.

Une interprétation magnifique ! Bravo à Johann Vexo !

Jamais je ne me lasserai de cette toccata magnifique,mais joué de préférence par Monsieur Vexo!💖💖💖

Perfect tempo and magnificent articulation. The instrument, needless to say, is marvelous.

Wonderful execution on a wonderful organ, with the right tempo. Thank you Maestro Vexo, it has been a pleasure to listen. Ad maiora

Beautiful Tempo, thank you.

This is definitely the proper tempo as others have stated. It’s very similar to Widor’s own tempo, which can be heard on KZread from a recording he made in 1932. Well done!

Haven't heard this piece play this well for a long time - bravo!

Another great Cavaille-Colle organ! Thank you maestro for you outstanding performance.

Stunning and with an appropriate tempo letting the majesty of the organ and work enfold. This must have been even more impressive in the cathedral itself than a recording could capture. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Mais quelle interprétation !!! J’ai encore en souvenir de croiser Johann Vexo à la tribune de l’orgue du Lycée saint Sigisbert à Nancy avec une interprétation du Final de la première symphonie de Vierne sur ce petit instrument. Bravo !

Splendid tempo and presentation. The acoustic is spectacular. Thanks to splendid audition we can enjoy all this!

best performance!

The Best!...

I would love to play this monumental organ one day.

C'est superbe! Un GRAND merci!💖

A long time ago,I used to play the Halifax Parish (now Minster) instrument. It is a magnificent 4 manual Harrison and Harrison (major rebuild 1928 part rebuild 1980). It has a full set of reeds down to a 16’ Ophicleide. I used to play the Widor but this is much bigger solid sound. What a fabulous sound...even on the internet. I wish I could afford to go and hear this instrument live!

Sublime comme toujours l'est M. Vexo.

The Organ was originally built by Nicolas Dupont in 1763 and was expanded by Aristide Cavaille-Coll in 1861. The organ is in it's original case from Dupont. Same with the organ at Saint Sulpice in Paris. Where it was built by Francis-Henri Cliqcuot, and the case was built by Monsieur Joudot. And the organ was largely expanded by Cavaille-Coll in 1862.

Quel bonheur Johann d’entendre une telle interprétation. J’ai encore en souvenir le final de la première symphonie de Vierne sur l’orgue de saint Sigisbert. Que de chemin parcouru….

This is a perfect tempo, and it is truly necessary for having the large bass pipes to sound (and reverberate!). Great job with the swell shutters! Totally masterful performance! (from Canada)

L'un des grands organistes au monde. Parfait interprète du répertoire français. D'une grande simplicité et tellement généreux de son temps.

Cada vez que veo y escucho cosas tan bellas como ésta me pregunto, cómo el mismo ser humano que causa tanto daño y guerras puede a las vez emocionarnos hasta llorar con una melodía tan hermosa y con un señor que domina éste precioso instrumento de forma magistral, gracias, estoy muy conmovido.

This is my favourite recording, but has anyone noticed that the highest note on the organ is F and the highest note in the toccata is f sharp. It is amazing how he hides this lack of an f sharp
