whats the difference between a casavant organ and a french organ or are they the same?

This is not too fast, Bachorgan. It is in a SINGLE tempo throughout - something we hardly EVER hear anymore. Why? Because most organists have the idea that they can do anything they want with the masterworks. WRONG. Mr. Motise's approach is simple - he follows the music, attending to EVERY detail, and equally importantly, the LARGER PICTURE. This playing is flawless in my view.

Yes - isn't it wonderful when the performer is heard but not seen? I have attended Mr. Motise's live performances, and hardly noticed his presence. The presence of the master composers, however, is unmistakeable. Egomaniacs take note.

This is so beautiful for a multitude of reasons:The playing is exquisite and very unique, you feature the organ, the church and give great honor to the Master, Bach. You, the performer are not seen once. I found that most impressive of all. This wasn't 'about you', but about Bach, the music and the gorgeous Casavant organ. Yes, Bravo.

This is a wonderful video. First of all, the playing of the Bach is phenomenal - really unlike any performance I've heard before. The piece simply flows naturally without a single extraneous gesture. And the slide show is a testament to the beauty of the Casavant organ, both tonally and visually. Bravo, Darren Motise. You are a superb musician. |
