This video is legendary. This is not due to the great recording quality, but simply because the comments and actions of the two gentlemen next to the organist are simply an expression of the joy about this brilliant piece and the fantastic realisation by the organist. Great! This is how music must be.
The recording qualilty may be not that great, but what stuns me most is to really hear as the organ sounds, the keyboard, the barker machine, the raw sound of the pipes when resonance kicks in, the reverb and all the other 'parasitic' sound this instrument makes. Beside that, the performce of the artist is great. I can't stop listening to it.
I See it differently, sorry. I have the greatest respekt for Daniel Roth, but in my opinion he should not sing. As an organist myself I found this always annoying when my teacher started to sing. It does not help with intonation, nor with tempo. He can show this afterwards in the discussion. But congrats to Aaron for the great performance!!
Having Daniel Roth smiling and patting your back while seated at the console of the great Cavaille-Coll at St. Sulpice must be an experience of a life time! BRAVO!!!
Well done whoever organised this for these young organists. When I was their age, I was part of a group that had the opportunity to play the college organs in Oxford University under the guidance of their Organ Scholars. Days like that are game changers for young musicians; they blast your horizons wide open and give you a glimpse of where music can take you. Bravo to all concerned.
@zimnaya No I just arranged to meet Roth and get to try the organ at St. Sulpice while I was visiting Paris. He graciously agreed, and I made a donation to the organ maintenance fund to say "thanks" for allowing me this opportunity. Thanks for the comment!
Oh, my gosh! My heart skipped a beat several times and I found it hard to breathe..... beautiful job, Aaron! Please, PLEASE continue to develop your talent that God has given you.... you have a beautiful gift, and I applaud you for your dedication to the instrument. And having Daniel Roth sit beside you as you play.... sort of like having Billy Graham sitting with you when you read the Bible..... wonderful job!!!!!
I absolutely love the Gigout Toccata, and this video is by far the best rendition of it I’ve seen on TH-cam. I confess to listening to it often, because the tempo and registration is simply perfect - a joy to watch and listen to. To see Daniel Roth by your side so utterly immersed and engrossed in the performance just adds to the joy. Very well done!
Herzliche glückwunsch zu diesem Spiel. Leider sind die Pedale recht laut da haben die anderen Kommentartoten recht. Wenn du weiter so gut spielst wirst du einmal eine ganz große kirchenmusikerin. Rasmus aus Schweden 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🎹🎹🎹🎹💓
Dear friend Aaron, this is the way that a Cavaillé-Coll instrument should be played. Well done, my young friend! God Bless You, Aristide, for your wisdom and your genius we see working through this very talented organist. Aaron, your next stop? La Madeleine, sitting right next to Saint-Saëns and Fauré...
How blessed you are young titian to have had Daniel Roth at your right hand and this Cavaille-Cole under your fingers. Only once in a lifetime. The recording was not all it might have been but the overall 'experience of this moment' was divine. CVD
The joy in metre Roth's whole being is so evident. When one has the opportunity to encourage a young musician it makes life worth living. My respect for Daniel Roth has grown monumentally. To say nothing of the respect for the talent of Aaron Shows.
Of all the recordings of this piece, I keep coming back here. There is just something so 'real' about this (other than being in the loft with you all). Your brilliant performance when you must have felt under pressure in such eminent company, and of course the wonderful man himself obviously enjoying your performance and encouraging you along. Oh, and the instrument ain't to shabby either 😉
Thank you, Daniel Roth!! You are such a teacher, and example for young organists. I LOVE to hear you so completely engaged in this, like Glenn Gould on the piano. Daniel, you are the BEST!
What a joy to get to play the Cavaille-Cole in St. Sulpice and have Daniel Roth singing over your right shoulder at the same time! OMG Once in a life time. Go for it young Titan. Sent with love. CVD
You have been blessed far beyond your present understanding. You're entering upon the stage of musical history… and the great teachers of this present world at your right hand. Congratulation. Sent with love. CVD
Mr. Roth, you are the darling teacher of organists who are very lucky to be studying with you in France. You are so gentle when dealing with your pupils, just last night I watched an interview between you and Carole Williams on youtube where you were so kind about the people who are your students.Thank you for your kindness to them and for sharing your magnificent organ performance talents with us. Kindly,
Daniel Roth is not only one of the most gifted but also generous. Here in America some churches are very stingy with their cheap organs, and you need to go through a committee to play the organ.
What a terrific performance - flawless! Many congratulations. I can feel the sheer physical effort going into playing this piece on what looks like a very temperamental tracker organ in St Sulpice. To pull that off so effortlessly requires immense talent and is no mean feat. Many congratulations again.
I have played this video 1,000 times I love the accent of the notes all organist play this song the French organ has beautiful reeds and a glottle like sound I love it seems like a nice man
It doesn't matter how many times I watch and listen -- it's always magical and a window into great music-making. The Toccata is a wonderful joy to hear, but this video shows how it's a challenge to play. With great mentors on either side, beaming on him, Aaron soldiers on, putting on quite a "Show." Thanks for sharing.
That was great. I was so lucky to have stumbled upon an organ tour at S. Sulpice when in Paris once and heard M. Roth improvise for about 20 minutes. And, he was generous enough to allow me to come with the organ tour up to see this magnificent console. Generosity like this is what encourages young organists like the one in this video to continue to study and play these great instruments and great works. Merci, M. Roth!
For the ending, one of your friends is trying to "conduct" you . . . you're thinking . . . "stand back and listen to THIS!!!" Perhaps the most spectacular ending I've ever heard!!!
Sehr schön gespielt!! Technisch perfekt, klasse Tempo und ein fulminanter Schluss. Herrlich auch, die strahlenden Gesichter der alten Herren zu sehen, und deren ehrliche Anerkennung für diese ausgezeichnete Leistung.
Lovely relaxed, steady performance, leading to a wonderfully spaced chordal climax, fully utilising the power of this beast of an organ and the acoustics of this stupendous edifice. Well done!
Well as my Texan wife would say, " Close your mouth or your going to catch flies" I could not beleave this was played so well by someone so young. You made me tear up my young friend. If I could play as well as you, Such talent needs to be shared. Play often and always.
You are worthy of the honor given my Msr. Roth. Magnificent performance, particulerly the ending. Even Msr. Roth gave a pat on the shoulder and it takes a lot to impress him. Well DOne, Boy. Very well done.
EXCELLENT!!!! if you just sat down that was not easy. Hard instrument to get used to, it goes over your head and the action is very different from anything in the States. You Dad is rightfully very proud of you! Daniel is a wonderful kind gentleman! Bravo!
Thank you for the kind words! The other man in the video was not my father, but rather my organ teacher from high school who was on the trip just for fun, and this was filmed during a college choir tour of France during my last year as an undergraduate student.
So many videos here are just a waste of lifetime. But this was a real enrichement for me, thank you a lot for that! It is so moving to see you playing so well and NOT showing off like others. Greatings from Munster Germany
Totally amazing, Bravissimo. On a long walking pilgrimage from Canterbury to Iona in 2014 I visited Edinburgh St Giles Cathedral, where a glorious piece of spine tingling music was being played on their magnificent Rieger Orgelbau organ. I was stunned. I didn't know what the piece was then, I knew it was a "toccata" but to discover its true identity was a revelation. Thanks, thanks, thanks, I relive a priceless memory.
The more I listen to this video the better it gets. I LOVE your tempo expression. So many organists have recorded this piece only to play like Dr Williams who always seems like she’s late for the next gig. Just because you can play a piece at an extraordinary tempo does not make it better. Well done!!!!!
I have never had the honor of meeting Mr. Roth, but will say that he impresses me a being a very warm, hospitable and generous person who takes great -- even gleeful -- delight in sharing this wonderful instrument with others. His affection and enthusiasm are extremely moving.
Bravo, well played. I just happened across this marvelous organ played by a great organist. Although my wife is not into organ music like I am I shared this with her and she was very impressed. Such a difficult piece, played to perfection. Thank you for sharing!
@DesireeDeFete We emailed him weeks prior to going and found a date when he was available. And yes, he was more than happy to meet with us. It was an amazing experience. Thanks for asking!
Great performance indeed. Reminds me of my first performance on a Cavaillé-Coll organ last week (July 28th 2012) in the Sainte-Croix Cathedral of Orléans with kind permission of organist-titulair Jean-Pierre Griveau.
Marvelous! Bravissimo! It gives me hope to see a young person taking up the organ as instrument. And to have the opportunity to play on the St. Sulpice instrument! Outstanding.
The situation looks exactly like your exam flight to get the helicopter pilot license, with your instructor and the examiner sitting next to you: you can't see them but you know they are right there... some hint by gestures from your instructor, without speaking, and at the end "Congratulations young man, you have just got your wings!" :0)))
Beautifully done Aaron! How glorious for you to be at St. Sulpice to play under Daniel Roth on this priceless Cavaille-Coll! I listen to this daily. Thank you.
Aaron!! You OPENED THAT ORGAN UP! And the musicality with which you play is wonderful! Keep up the great work! And to play for the great Daniel Roth is just an honor!
Excellent performance, well done; and in what an atmosphere. One can feel the pride in Mr. Correll, the magnificent mentoring of Mr. Roth, and the unbridled joy in Aaron Shows. You can imagine Gigout at the bench next to Saint Seans. Wonderful to see in this day and age. Keep up the good work.
Amazing, fantastic piece. The composer ingeniously puts commonplace, trivial panels together and turns them into a great composition. This is what Boelmann failed to do in the last movement of the Gothic suite.
This video is utterly thrilling, M Roth looks as if he is having a wonderful time . Many thanks for this vid it is terrific. I am hooked by it and have watched it again and again. Bravo a well deserved pat on the back from M Roth
wonderful playing, on a wonderful organ, what a lucky guy you were to get to do this, but I also feel lucky to get to hear you play, wish you were my church organist here in California
Wonderful performance. Mr. Daniel Roth was pleased. What a thrill. I loved the way you held the last chord. I played this organ back in 1982 and played the Suite Gothique Chorale and Widor's Toccata. An amazing organ. It still give me chills.
Hi Erik; Wow. I know me and I'd would have felt this rosy-cheeked cherub's ass as much as possible under the circumstances. I know, he'll never forget it.
splendid playing, technically and musically! It must be great to have Master Daniel Roth next to you, singing, applauding and emotionally involved with your playing and with this thrilling experience!
I really have to say your playing is outstanding. This, your interpretation of this work is one of my stand out favorites. Please continue, I for one would love to hear a live performance of yours. I hope you might one day perform here in the SF Bay Area....
The best visual elements of this excellent rendition are the facial expressions of (I assume) the proud father. Also how the performer breaks out into a grin at about 2:45 when he’s in the home stretch and through the hardest bits.
Oh I just adore this piece, it starts off dark and sinister, and builds to a thrilling, sparkling, gut wrenchingly gorgeous crescendo, I can take on the world and then some after listening to this.
You ARE a great organist! I would be the haapiest man on the earth if had the chance to play on this organ with Mr. Roth. He said "Very good" in the beginning of the video an HE IS RIGHT! Go on like this!
This video is legendary.

I See it differently, sorry. I have the greatest respekt for Daniel Roth, but in my opinion he should not sing. As an organist myself I found this always annoying when my teacher started to sing.

Klanglich beste Version des phänomenalen Meisterstücks, die ich kenne. Da stören selbst die Tastaturgeräusche kaum!
Danke!!

The crescendo into the arpeggios was fantastic! What a great performance!
I'm so glad this video is still here. I love it and always come back to it. So electric and joyful. Thank you!
wonderful playing, on a wonderful organ, what a lucky guy you were to get to do this, but I also feel lucky to get to hear you play, wish you were my church organist here in California

Looks like his passionate mentors shared a bottle of wine. So much passion watching over the youthful talented man. Good stuff!
Thanks so much for bringing this brilliant performance to our view. The singing of the old man along with pedal notes was lovely.
Wonderful performance. Mr. Daniel Roth was pleased. What a thrill. I loved the way you held the last chord. I played this organ back in 1982 and played the Suite Gothique Chorale and Widor's Toccata. An amazing organ. It still give me chills.

Wow! That was great! And what an experience it must have been
Hi Erik; Wow. I know me and I'd would have felt this rosy-cheeked cherub's ass as much as possible under the circumstances. I know, he'll never forget it.
One of my fav. videos of that piece. For many reasons.
Jawdropping... you have talent! I hope to reach such a level of mastery like you one day! Congratulations Aaron :)

I’m back again. Absolutely fabulous...........🎉
The best visual elements of this excellent rendition are the facial expressions of (I assume) the proud father. Also how the performer breaks out into a grin at about 2:45 when he’s in the home stretch and through the hardest bits.

Oh I just adore this piece, it starts off dark and sinister, and builds to a thrilling, sparkling, gut wrenchingly gorgeous crescendo, I can take on the world and then some after listening to this.

+monoamiga Thank you so much for that suggestion, what a gloriously uplifting piece, I really enjoyed that, and will listen again, Thank you.
You ARE a great organist! I would be the haapiest man on the earth if had the chance to play on this organ with Mr. Roth. He said "Very good" in the beginning of the video an HE IS RIGHT! Go on like this!
