A little fast, but otherwise perfect. Listening on a system with an 18" subwoofer and the low notes shake the entire house. the recording is EXCELLENT... we need more high quality organ recordings for playback on modern systems with subs... great job Mr. Marshall

Wayne Marshall is a madman on the organ! An absolutely brilliant performance of a masterpiece! And no, I don’t think the tempo is too fast. Diane Bish plays it about as fast as well. On the contrary, it doesn’t sound right when played too slow, as if someone is trying to learn the piece.

I love this interpretation. I totally don't mind the tempo, it's crisp, lively, his articulation is fantastic. Superb registration and overall you feel "this is totally how I intend to play this" and I am convinced. Another interpretation to my set of favourite interpretations of this piece :)

Fabulous

It as an honour to meet Mr Marshall and watch him perform yesterday evening. Mind blowing talent.

I love these fast playing music, so much cold shivers over my body hearing these fast organ music, I'm an organist myself but if I play nothing happens but if someone else plays I get cold shivers of the awesome well played music, Bravo to the organist

exactly the tempo Jean Guillou played first in Berlin St.Mathias on the Seifert organ during his first recordings

If anyone dares challenge this post the link - perfect execution of staccato and every note being visible - stupendous performance 👏🏻👏🏻🥃🍻

Thank for posting, This piece is amazing!

This is the biggest organ here in Portugal with 6500 pipes and 90 stops. Lately, there was a ruffati organ installed in 1952 with 12000 pipes and 152 stops. In 2016 mascioni house did a reconstruction of the organ increasing the sound quality despite this one being smaller than the previous instrument. In April, I was going to play it but unfortunately I couldn't due to virus situation. The recording is suberb, an incredible organist in an incredible instrument

Dear Neal - thats why we love making these recordings when people like you say great things like you did. Much appreciated!

Stimply stunning and stupendous! Although supposedly Widor himself opposed to such a tempo for his famous Toccata, it works amazingly well, once one hears the overwhelming effect, of course provided it is played with such meticulous articulation as displayed here by Wayne ... Also, this is the first time that I see the cross-handed passage shortly before the end played on one manual instead of two ... All the more praise to you Wayne!

Omg, beautiful, my favorite interpretation. Perfect

@@EmeraldPixelGamingEPG Widor was a very old man in that film. And when composers are dead, the artiste decides how it should be best played. There are plenty of slow versions and fast versions and medium versions. I was of the opinion it should be slower too till I heard this one! Now I love it.

Amazing playing!

This performance of the Toccata was Fantasic.... my grandfather arranged Widors Toccata for an Accordion Symphony orchestra.. (i do have an mp3 file of the 1964 recording of it) my grandfather was a head of his time.... This piece is diffacult to play even for an accordion symphonic orchestra... my gpa did this with 26 members and it became the signature last piece of a concert... the orchestra even won a competition playing it back in the late 50s or early 60s before i was born... everyone that new my gpa said he was nuts for this (from the stories i heard) my gpa was a professional accordionist till the last year before he passed away... i always look at how different people play the piece and the tempo as well again this was a great performance :)

I'd say as an organist you will probably work with tempo also according to the acoustic of the cathedral. If it's a bit too dry, you'll need to play faster to satisfy different requirements of the music. I have no problems with this tempo, it's not "distastefully" fast, it's just very crisp.

faster and faster .... One day we'll have this artwork in less than a minute. And I can do it for you in ten seconds, with a big board placed on the keyboards, on which we will put two anvils. This interpretation negates the tempo, which is precise so that the work is understandable. And the use of treble and metallic plays is incidental, for shine, not as a base. This is outrageous, and does not transcribe anything from the original symphonic work.

incomprehensible. Why play this toccata so quickly, and with this exclusively metallic sound? On the score, there is a tempo. It’s common among Americans to try to wow the crowd with physical performance, superhuman abilities, in short, show off. Most good organists (not me I swear!) Can play this work just as fast, but just for fun. There are only certain works of Chopin, of Listz, that require these speeds in interpretation. Diane Bish, Cameron Carpentier, who are great technicians it's true, have interpretations of hardware salesmen. It's a shame to put so much skill into circus acts !!!

@julianmatthews5785

It’s true. So many american organists seem to show off for some reason. The prgans are always brash and stupidly gigantic but with not that much power and not good tone. This organ isn’t an American one and Wayne Marshall is English. But i agree with you for what you said about bish and carpenter. And marshall plays this piece way too fast

Wow! Power and glory!

Wow pretty fast Virgil Fox early recordings plays as fast nevertheless Wayne is one of top organist internationally

Un talentazo. Un regalo al espíritu,es maravilloso.

Heavens to Murgatroyd! Love it!

When played as perfectly and intensely as this, I think the tempo is comparatively unimportant. I enjoyed this interpretation of it greatly!

Bravo!!! I love the tempo of your execution

Go man go, Love your interpretation , Nicely done *

Stop with "too fast". Fast ? Yes, it is. But the choice is coherent : the pedal is like a cleanly "song". All is done for that. Other choices are they possible ? Yes, of course. So : "fast" is enough.

Non. Les américains aiment la performance pure. Le muscle car musical. Il faut que ça pete, que ça pulse, que ça fasse du bruit. Et leurs meilleurs techniciens, que ce soit Bish ou Carpenter, ont bien compris ça. Ils vendent chez eux. Leur technique est excellente, ce qui ne signifie pas qu’elle est meilleure parce qu’ils enregistrent ça. Les organistes européens peuvent jouer comme ça, mais entre eux, pour rire. J’imagine le gars jouant sur notre Waltrain de 1749, dix jeux, pédalier à la française, un seul clavier.
