I love it when an organist plays from memory. Bravo.
Congratulations Daniel on being the Associate Organist at St John Divine can't wait for you to play the restored organ there!
Mr. Ficarri, you are an amazing musician! What a wonderful performance, and on just the right instrument in the right space. Brilliant.
Best rendition on CZcams!
Son, you are alarmingly talented.
Your body language is like ballet -- graceful, elegant and beautiful to watch.
Brilliant, amazing, flawless playing!!!!! Thank you Daniel.
Absolutely stunning! Wonderful rendition of the piece, I really like it :D And to be able to play that in St. John the Divine is just insane.
All the best from Austria :)
Just listened again. Strike my previous criticism of the recording. All else stands. Wow.
Bravo! Marvelously played, Mr. Ficarri! A brilliant organist playing an amazing work on a magnificent organ in a wondrous space!
The absolute embodiment of magnificence! St John's organ was made for pieces like this!
A stunning performance, on a magnificent instrument. The dynamic range of the recording is very narrow, and gives nothing (really, nothing) of the overwhelming effect of the organ in the room. The audio sounds like it was recorded on an old iPhone. Hearing Mr Ficarri play that piece live in the cathedral would truly be something.
Beautiful!
You are so amazing! I have enjoyed so many of your videos. You are now my favorite artist. Your gift is AWESOME!!!!!!
I enjoy seeing an organist, like yourself, playing with feeling; you were a joy to watch, with this piece.
Wow - what an electric performance. It was thrilling. Thank you.
Oh Boy. this time he is performing on a real organ. and doing a bang-up job of it. How nicely crisp and balanced the pedal is. Excellent registration. I'd like to know what idiot gave him a dislike. St. John's is a difficult organ to play. because of the acousitcs and dely. He has done a nice job. very nice indeed. With fingers like that, this boy can play anything. No fancy shoes either. Nice to play good music on a good roagnwithout glitz and glitter - like some current show-off's.
Surely, the 4 manual Casavant in Westchester County wasn't 'fake'? JK!
robert shaw So many opinions crammed into such a small space. Wow.
robert shaw the registration is that of Vierne. It's not open to changing. This organist is simply following the score, as all musicians should do. I wish people would stop with this "excellent registration" nonsense. The composer chooses in French Romantic. There's no mystery here.
good comment. This man is truly one of our best right now...
Excellent ..,
Brilliant, exciting playing!!!! Right on the money, very expressive. One of the best!
bello, sempre bello!
The final note of this piece is the "eight seconds" of reverberation".
Thank you, sir.
How can you play this with ease? You are amazing Daniel! Keep up the great work!
Inspiring!!
The definitive performance of this majestic piece on a great organ, with superb video editing!
Bravo ! An excellent performance, clean, crisp, precise, a joy to listen to. Such a talented musician Daniel is !
What a joy it must be "never " have to use the Crescendo Pedal.
Just wonderful, Danny. You remind me of a young Chris Houlihan, in that you feel the music! Keep it up and maybe we will see you here in Los Angeles someday!
Very nicely done! As Daniel Ficarri performs the Carillon , he utilizes the Aeolian-Skinner's stops in combinations which avoid the heaviness present in other performances I have heard.
BRAVO!!!!
WOW!!!

BRAVO! I found the playing very exciting! To my taste your interpretation from 5:55 to the end...the accelerando in the pedal....PERFECT! The only criticism is that I think it would be wise to change your habit of playing the white pedals so far back. It is much more "motion efficient" to play the white pedals close to the black keys. At the end of the video I was a little annoyed not to hear the reverb fade into nothing...I needed just a few more seconds.
Hey, small things. Thank you for sharing. I absolutely LOVED this performance of a great piece!
I understand what you say about playing the white pedals too far back but I think it is personal choice and what the performer feels comfortable with. The purists often say to should not use the toe heel method when playing Bach but I don't think it matters a jot personally. Others say you should not sway your body when playing but rather look more robotic but I like to see someone who feels the whole music with their very being, the end result is what matters most.
Hallelujah!
