This is the finest of organ-playing, JoEllen doesn't look at her feet on the pedals at all, has this entire symphony in memory, while producing this majestic performance with good selections of registration, swell pedal, etc. She has learned from masters! many thanks to all, for this performance and video! Greetings from Canada!
Thank you so so much!
Wow! And the whole thing from memory!
What a master piece for organ by Widor - and what a performance from organist JoEllen West - delivered straight into my home! Some things in life exceed other things, and listening to this is for me, one of those things. Marvellous, 😢. 0:58
Dear JoEllen, I am so happy over TH-cam having recommended your video! I'm delighted to know about you and I'm grateful for this opportunity to watch you play and listen to the beautiful and satisfying music you make. My thanks and best wishes from Seattle.
Thank you so much for listening and for your well-wishes! I hope to perform for you in person one day 😊
THIS YOUNG LADY SURE IS TALENTED. I WISH HER A BRIGHT FUTURE.
Thank you!
Watching/listening to you for a second time. Your performance is absolutely fantastic.
Thank you so much for listening (again)!! This symphony is a favorite of mine.
Thank you for sharing! Great job! Such diligence and hard work!
You’re very welcome! So grateful to have enthusiastic listeners like you 😊
Congratulation, excelente performance JoEllen West! Parabéns , excelente apresentação JoEllen! BRASIL
WOW! What a thrilling performance! We're in awe.
Beautiful and very talented, wonderful interpretation and then everything from memory
So talented and disciplined. This is one of my favorite pieces, I have played it for years. First on my cassette player, then on CD. I had difficulty learning how to do that!
All kidding aside, You perform this piece with obvious love. I am in awe of your talent, technique and stage presence. My best wished for a stupendous career. May it always be fun. Always.
Thank you- this means so much. I haven’t tried playing it on cassette player yet; you’ll have to give me registration advice! 😉
Amazing performance and very impressive!! Wonderful appropriate tempo.
Thanks for listening, and for your feedback!
Slay, JoEllen!! We all admire you for having the courage to perform a monumental symphony.
Such a musical performance as well! You do a great job shaping the lines and taking time.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it.
I am impressed and delighted.
Una bella interpretazione. Complimenti. 🎉
Thanks...It was Beautiful...thanks.
BRAVO!!!!
Enhorabuena! Me encanta esta sinfonía (in fact it's my favourite one) y la has interpretado con mucha pasión y carácter, disfrutando del primer al último acorde.
MARVELOUS! Wonderful execution of the 6th Symphony and also playing it by memory! This is probably the first time hearing Widor on this Skinner Organ and it was played by an amazing organist. Are you planning on playing Widor's 5th Symphony in recital soon? If so I'cant wait to hear you wonderful interpretation on the Toccata.
Excellent performance. Also playing from memory. I've noticed that Widor's music is popular among young organists. Is his music more challenging? I've also noticed all the young female organists on YT, mainly from America. Wish you all well as you continue to play the organ. I've subscribed & hope JoEllen gets more subscibers.
His symphonies can be quite complex, but I’d say they are played often due to their palatability and significance to the French romantic era. They’re elegant, yet showy- working well both in church and in concert programs.
Dear Ellen, that is the most beautiful performance at that Symphony I ever heard. You are a very great organist and I subscriebed your channel. Kind regards Alex.
Thank you so much for listening, Alex! Welcome to my channel 😄
Congratulations. Beautifully performed with sensitive adherence to tempo, phrasing and dynamics. You fully deserve to have the opportunity of performing this Widor Symphony on a Cavaille Coll. Caen, Rouen or Paris perhaps?
I hope to go to France this summer or next! I’d love the chance to play these movements on a Cavaillé-Coll. Thank you for listening!
happy to hear an American organist playing Widor in tempo, unlike the vast majority of her compatriots who confuse this music with a sporting performance. Americans always give the impression of risking missing the train.
good job!
I’m so glad you liked my tempos! Thanks so much for taking the time to listen.
Tempo is wrong! And use the other manuals, will you!
The tempo changes depending on the movement, and the manuals change frequently! Any spots in particular you’re thinking of?
