Widor Toccata Video Recording Music.Zyl September 27, 2010
Charles-Marie Jean Albert Widor (February 21, 1844 – March 12, 1937) was a French organist, composer and teacher. [ref 1]
Widor’s most famous is contained within the 5th movement of his 5th symphony — and also a challenge to play. By far, this is my favorite organ piece to listen to.
Frederick Hohman plays this piece on the Chantz pipe organ at the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Newark, New Jersey. His performance of this piece is one of the best I have found on the Internet. Check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKejfYzB3ak
