On September the 27th, Peter Richard Conte and The Philadelphia Orchestra will perform the Jongen Symphonie Concertante at Macy's, on the Wamanaker Organ !
Thanks for posting this video. It's good to see the master at work. I know this work very well and I especially love the Toccata finale. But this movement's subtle beauty never fails to give me goosebumps every time I hear it. Fox once mentioned at a concert (it was his last one I believe) a question as to why he liked to play a particular piece. He response was simple, "Because it is beautiful." This movement certainly meets his qualification.
so beautiful.. entrancing, mesmerizing, dare i say psychedelic :)

Check out the online version of Pipedreams this week for a much higher-fidelity rendering of this performance. (No video, however, just audio.)
