I saw Carol Williams perform this yesterday in Balboa Park and I didnt realize how much pedal work was involved in this work, man she was sliding all over that seat. You play yours at a slower pace and that kind of makes it seem even more haunting, that and the scary moans and frantic page turns in the video. I know it wasent intended but the chaos in this video fits the song perfectly. 5 stars, keep it up.
Lovely piece of music, and played in a very sprightly fashion as well - as this music obviously demands. Fyi the Marco Polo label has a cd of Boellman's Op10 Pf quartet & his op19 piano trio - both excellent. Now I've heard this organ piece I shall look out for him more. And, indeed, you. Many tks.
I love the trill at 2:42. that is absolutely hilarious! Great talent. now you should put a camcorder on your xmas wishlist (and a stand!), then you can make perfect videos with a better sound.
Wow, first the great little fugue by Bach, then this for a contrast. You're really good!
You're handling that turning of sheets and pulling of stops extremely well, especially with a piece of such difficulty, and once again played with superb feel and musical understanding. Great fun to see these great pieces played by someone who doesn't just rattle them down.
You play very, very well!!! Always one of my favorite pieces too:) Now, all you have to do is to master turning pages, conducting, changing stops, and feeding the cat - all at the same time! It's simple: just gro wextra arms:)) Seriously.......dont let the little mistakes throw you; you will work them out eventually - quite well, I am sure! Bravo!
You are quite a player! Shoot a recent version for us with a better camera please.

Very good transitions and stop additions. Great tempo as well.

Next time get a page turner and someone to hold the camera with steadier hand.

Can you not hold the camcorder still?
Lets see all of her - don't cut off her head.
Why cut off the end? Could not wait 4 seconds to hear the reverberation end?
Nice job playing.
Camera, F.

Well played. If you like this, you should try the Toccata from Percy Whitlock's Plymouth suite - that is equally good fun.
