Truly awesome !
ОтветитьA splendid, uplifting piece, and an excellent performance! I had never heard this before. Thanks for posting.
ОтветитьI've enjoyed this revelation
ОтветитьPlease prove me wrong 'no one can play this piece like her' I am on the edge of my seat its like a roller coaster just amazing!'
ОтветитьSo good to think of Jane, remembering her performing this piece. She was a true force of nature, a genius organist, and simply a lovely human being.
ОтветитьI feel lucky that I got to know her personally and remember being on a terrace in Haarlem drinking a glass of white wine with her. I will miss her deerly. Not only was she one of the greatest talents in the world, but she had a great personality as well. A super lady with great skills. And this recording of the Lanquetuit Toccata is in my personal opinion one of the best if not THE best performance ever of this music. The tempo is perfect and where some organists make the notes all flow together, Jane makes us hear every note, her articulation is out of this world, simply 100% perfect.
ОтветитьThank you Jesus
ОтветитьJane Parker-Smith’s playing of the Marcel Lanquetuite was wonderful! But phone screens are tiny enough already!!!! Why would someone make the pictures use 1/3 of the screen???!!!!
ОтветитьA great, very great organist, passed away prematurely, Jane Parker Smith, in June 2020.
Her memory should be remembered and honored, because she left unforgettable interpretations of the French symphonist organists : this Toccata by Lanquetuit, together with the Toccata by Jules Grison, are the best interpretations on record.
That is so sad. I heard her at the Albert Hall many years ago. I found her on the internet and emailed her asking her if she would play at our local cathedral not expecting a reply. To my surprise she did but alas I could not arrange it. It turns out that she was exactly the same age as me, to the day. Good bless. RIP Jane.
ОтветитьA truly inspiring player. There was never a dull moment in her playing.
ОтветитьRIP, she was my schoolboy idol.
ОтветитьIn memory of the great Jane-Parker Smith. True inspirational icon. She will be dearly missed.
ОтветитьRIP Maestra Parker-Smith 😢
Ответитьmay she rest in peace
ОтветитьI was deeply saddened to learn of Jane Parker-Smith's passing. She was a rare talent.
ОтветитьRest in peace, Dear Jane.
ОтветитьThis Toccata belongs simply to the greatest organ-toccatas EVER......
Ответитьan endearing piece of music.
ОтветитьWhat a load of old cack.
ОтветитьJane is such a sparkling performer and so much fun to work with. She really brings the music up off the page!
ОтветитьAmazing instrument. Wonderful buffet and exquisite accoustics. Very nice interpretation by the way !
ОтветитьEine Interpretation, an der man Mass nehmen kann !
ОтветитьKanye West needs to hear this shit.
ОтветитьMagnificent!
ОтветитьA toccata indeed! Well done!
ОтветитьI wonder does anybody know of the whereabouts of Jane Parker Smith I'm trying to trace her as I have a piano belonging to her in storage Jane has failed to respond to any letters or emails and I wonder if anybody on this site personally knows her
ОтветитьMy uncle played this for my new husband and me to walk out to at our recent wedding - it was utterly magical. As another commenter said, it really sends you out with a spring in your step. Absolutely one of my most treasured memories.
ОтветитьI hate religions too but i love old things and i love pipe organ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its a magic instrument and the king of instruments ! I do not considerate pipe organ that a religious instrument ! To me its an instrument like the others !
ОтветитьI fucking hate churches and religion, but i like this music
ОтветитьDefinitely an underrated piece. Just love those magical but powerful chords.
ОтветитьI love it when I can hear CLEAR ARTICULATION in such a complex piece. Thank you for putting in the effort to do such a good job!
ОтветитьThis magnificent musical instrument, a wonderful piece of music, and a masterful performance - they deserve better than these tiny computer speakers. To get the full depth, you would have to be in the building. The organ is, well, there are no superlatives to describe its presence. Congratulations to the designer and builder of the instrument: it fits the building perfectly. Congratulations to Ms. Parker-Smith for sharing this as a legacy of musical enjoyment. And a hat-tip to Mssr. Lanquetuit for leaving us your finest music.
ОтветитьWow!!!! Powerfull........
ОтветитьI love Jane Parker-Smith's playing on this organ and all other recordings of her,too,that I have heard.The organ is very fine,too.Well done,Jane.
Ответитьwhat a fabulous rendition of this piece - on such a great set of tubes!! Memorable, indeed.
ОтветитьThe acoustics of that church fit this organ perfectly. Stupendous sound, especially the bass.
ОтветитьAn amazing piece played on an amazing organ!
A month ago, I was allowed to play on this organ.
It was great! I love this fantastic instrument!!!
Perfection !
ОтветитьNever heard of Lanquetuit before but will look out for more. Good stuff!!
One of those pieces that send you out of Church with a spring in your step!
ОтветитьThis is a great rendering of this piece. However, the piece itself isn't as impressive as Widor's famous Toccata (after which it almost seems modeled) because it doesn't have the dynamic twists and turns of that piece or an impressive set-up of the finale. It is, nonetheless, a tuneful and enjoyable work and it could scarcely be played with more panache.
ОтветитьThis is to me the best articulated performance of this piece, and what an instrument
ОтветитьBeautiful!
ОтветитьAmagnificent interpretation and performance.
ОтветитьReminds me of Widor. Just a simple fingerpiece, but oh my, I love those fingerpieces! :)
ОтветитьA lovely account : precise, articulated playing, with great forward momentum, musical and effective registrations, all round management of the organ. I have played the Gollen at Luzern Concert Hall and it was stunning in all respects. Thanks, Jane.
Ответитьthis is really fantastic
ОтветитьShe interprets the work of the best. I love her music!!
ОтветитьIt is bombastic fantastic , this performance is perfect. Lady Jane must be a cool person!
