Vierne - Symphony No.1: Finale - score

[jordanmeakin]

I think this tempo is great! Gives real energy to the piece. Superb playing.

Check out Petur Sakari’s interpretation. Good tempo, and schmaltz in the final chords. He spaces them out with a nice pause before the final chord.

Man to hear an orchestration of this..

[organboi]

There is a lot of great playing here. Bravo whoever it is. But it just needs more work in a few sections.

[tcmbillay]

Its too fast, and it should really be a bit freer. Sounds a bit robotic

[GlamRockCowboy]

A great disappointment! The performing tempo is much, much too fast!

[xReMmiXX]

The tempo should be slower, you play the legato badly, rhythmically it sometimes doesn't work out, especially near the end it lacks form, rhythm and phrasing. It's not bad, but a lot of things can be improved. Keep it up !

[carryfreak]

A little too fast and the final chords should be spaced out more with a pregnant pause before the final chord.

[djmotise]

Too fast and without character. I just heard a wrong note. Tempo all over the place too. Ugh.

[mikeolsonengineer]

Wonderful music! Thanks for making this available!

[charlesdavis]

Please put all of Vierne's organ works up with scrolling. Thanks. Love to see these great organists at work.

Too fast i-m-o - and yes, I am a pipe organist, tho not to this standard. I heard it played by Isabelle Demers, a Canadian organist, and it was superb!!

Demasiada velocidad, Vierne ni para interpretar su obra era asi de rapidisimo, y hay una variante ritmica en la segunda parte nada congruente con la primera, o lo toca rapido o lento todo, los vieogramas existentes de Vierne demuestran lo contrario

[chrisa]

This is really fast - it certainly starts at mm 92! It slows a bit for the cantabile sections, but it still far faster than mm 76, as the score indicates.

[mariorebhan]

When you only have 3 minutes in beetween two pieces and you urgently must go to toilette.... horrible tempo. Imagine this wonderful piece played in saint-sulpice with this tempo....

[bobcochran]

Tempo by itself is irrelevant with organ music. The amount of reverb in the hall or church should lead a performer to the best tempo. Lots of reverb can smush notes together. It surely does here, unfortunately.

[MARKAddington-en]

He's playing the notes but it lacks majesty because of tempo.

[organboi]

The starting tempo is fabulous and correct, but it unfortunately becomes erratic, slowing down in the next section.

[scottw]

I love this tempo - my only critique would be some lift on the chords that are marked as such in the pedal thematic material. Not that I'm a great organist or anything, but I did wonder why not observe the lifts...

Love watching the score but HATE this interpretation. So little articulation and musicality. Bleh!
