Charles-Marie Widor Allegro (Symphonie 6)

[mattolieman]

I’ve been listening to you play this for a decade now? In my opinion, I’ll never hear anyone play it better.

[organgoesheavy]

Highest level of clear phrasing and amazing good quality of sound, excellent!

[benphillips]

The Touch and the technique in this performance is flawless and truly amazing!!!

[robosoftknk]

Exceptional work et exceptional performance. Merci

[johnwidmann]

So wonderfully cleanly played, with such conservation of movement in the hands and feet. I really enjoyed this performance, Randall.

[johanbrand]

WOW WOW WOW!! Virtuosic performance! My favourite Widor! The part at 4:33 is the most perfect interpretation I've EVER heard! I can listen to it over and over and smile from ear to ear! Thank you so much! And my other favourite section, the one at 5:40 . OH THIS PIECE IS WONDERFUL! This is glorious! THANK YOU!

[StDonatusOrganum]

It sounds very good and clear... I've heard it a lot of times! Well done!!

[davidhamilton]

Fabulous! A phenomenal piece played phenomenally. Many thanks.

[Highinsight]

GREAT playing... these things are so COOL... I have an up load of my playing this on an old Austin in Grand Rapids.

[darrelthompson]

This is so wonderfully played that I just listen to it over and over again! Your foot action is amazing! I really pray that God allows me to play like that. I play the organ was well, the Hammond. I have played the pipe organ before, but nothing like you!!

[RandallMullin]

Hi Dylan, Thanks for your suggestion of the Widor 5th. I have a number of works in the pipeline presently, but I will give it consideration for a future project.

[paulcaswell]

One of those moments when one wishes one could just swap pedalboards for a straight flat!!! PS: from 5:45 - absolutely superbly done :-)

[RandallMullin]

Hi Dylan, I used the score edited by John Near, which is published by A-R Editions, Inc. In terms of what you see in the video, I take the score and Xerox it. I then tape four or five pages to a cardboard strip so that there are not so many page turns. Thanks for your comments!

[johmarlor]

WOW! WOW! This has to be one of the most stunning movements of the French Symphonic School. You have captured, I think, the essence of the drama and majesty of this work. I studied this with David Craighead at Eastman many years ago, and he insisted that the F# minor section be played legato. I am happy to hear you do the same. Is there anything that compares to the feeling of getting to the final resolution of that G Major chord??!!

[GrandeBombarde]

A virtual organ console like the one in this video would cost you a few thousand dollars.

[mkuhl]

Wow. I mean really, sir, ...WOW. Magnificent tempo, brilliant pedal work, fantastic rendition overall. Having listened to a remastered 1932 version of Widor's Toccata from his 5th symphony for organ played by none other than the composer himself, I believe that he would have very much approved of this playback speed. Not too fast, not too slow. SPOT ON, full of emotion! Well done, bravo! Thank you! (if you consider requests from time to time, try Claude Balbastre's Allegro from his "Concerto pour orgue en Re Major".)

[paulbrennan]

Dear Mullin: Beautiful music and great registration. Do you think sir that you could play the finale from
Mendelssohn's Organ Sonata No. 1 Thanks

[ReaganReese]

Hey Randall! I was wondering, how you capture so much of the pedalboard?

[enzolorecameronlaunay]

Very nice interpretation.widor is one of my preferred composer.what organ you used, and what organ software has virtual pipes you have?
The sound is beautiful !!

[dariussala]

Can you show us the stop list on this organ, because it sounds AWESOME!!!


(EDIT) I think I found them (the video beginning) :)
