That ending progression is frighteningly powerful. Romanticism at its peak
Remarquable interprétation 🤗🤗🤗👏👏👏
This is my favorite performance I have heard on CZcams of this piece.
Bravo, anzi: Bravissimo! Interpretazione bellissima. Grazie Maestro
Oh does this organ piece bring back fond memories!!
It was my organ graduation piece at Augustana College in June, 1963 with Professor Philip McDermott as my sole organ teacher for 4 years! I even got to have a famous recitalist Virgil Fox sign my Peters edition music!! Dr. Fox also gave a recital that evening on the new 4 manual Moeller pipe organ in Centenial Hall.

Such a surefire performance.
Une des plus belles interprétations de ce choral que j'ai pu écouter, bravo Johann! C'est magnifique.
Bravo bravo bravo brilliance grandiose music super wow
Very very good, best regards!!!
I really like your performance Johann. Thanks. Also, I’m learning this piece and I was having trouble at the ‘pui largamete’ near the start. However, I looked closely at the video and I saw that you brought the Bflat (on the top stave)into the left hand. This, at least for me, makes the fingering so much easier in the next bar. Thanks very much.
Bien beau, merci, thanks ! (re-bis)
Bravo! Thank you for a powerful and convincing performance on this marvelous piece! Phrasing, nuances, pacing, and registration could not have been better.
Registration is that of the composer. No mystery there. Franck was very specific, as were all the French Romantic organ composers.
Registration in Franck's chorales is NOT from Franck himself because he died before the publication. It is not very accurate, especially the crescendos and decrescendos and doesn't work if you exactly do what is written...
Beautiful playing.
The organist became "the music " he played . Good job.
Wow!!!
Un grand MERCI! Magnifique!

So authoritative and engaging! Love it!
I love this piece and sometimes play parts of it on my keyboard. Because of the contrast in the various sections between the animated, calmly melodic and then purely dramatic flamboyance, it always leads me to think that it could have been a film score for a "Hammer Horror" film! A vampire pursuing its prey through the night, returning to sleep out the day, then the innocent bride, he selects her as his next victim, her fleeing from him, she is cornered and it seems her fate is sealed, but then her saviour appears and confronts the vampire, struggles with him and finally kills him with the proverbial stake through the heart! in the finale! This music is simply so delicious to portray such a story and inspires the imagination. For me, it just all seems to fit that imagery. Well, those are just my thoughts.
MORE!!
You can watch the two other chorales!
That part from 5:20 onwards…!!! 😍🤩
