A mediocre organ (sounds very harsh, has not been mechanically reliable) in a dreadful acoustic. One thing I've learned is that modern 'acousticians' know bugger all about what makes a good acoustic. Also, that British firms were barred from tendering for the job of the Bridgewater Hall organ is nothing short of a national disgrace. Looking forward to when the hideous hall is pulled down and the Marcussen sent back to Denmark and replaced by a new Willis...
@seaking020492 Ha! A modern organ like this is easy compared to the old ones, where you need an extra pair of hands to pull stops for you. Check out the video of Karl Richter playing Bach's toccata and fugue in d minor for a look at an old classic.
This is absolutely fantastic!!! I am an aspiring organist from South Africa and I just love good, proper transcriptions for the organ!! Where can I get the sheet music for this?
You should hear Scott's own orchestral transcriptions for organ such as 'Night on a Bare Mountain' on his CD 'Virtuoso', brilliant stuff. Ride of the Valkyries is on there too :)
@MrKlausbaudelaire It really simple, when you play about one year ;) It might look hard, but it's really easy, I swear. I am 15 yo, and I'm playing organ for 1,5 year, so I know, what I'm saying.
@Cielepa I also play the Organ- have been playing for five years, and have just begun the arduous endeavour of this piece. It will take a while. Nice to know there is a fellow young Organist out there!!
@JusticeRW Wow! You're playing this? I've seen lot of difficult pieces, but I don't know how to play something like that. Hands are just EVERYWHERE! However, good luck ;)
It's just my passion, but I love it. You can see and hear me at my channel. I'm church organist in Poland, so you probably don't understand, but you can hear me.
Excellent performance. I wish I could get to play on a pipe organ again, though, I no longer have access since the theater of music where I used to be a pipe organist at closed down.
Hmmm - I gotta say 10 star performance - Superb technique and control - Excellent phrasing and meter . . However, that's a 1 star organ . . I would offer the suggestion of 3 words - "Town Hall Organ" or 2 letters and one word "E.M. Skinner"
