VIRGIL FOX Finale from the Sixth Symphony (Vierne)

[TheCinemasound]

@ 64ftContraBombarde and ihadaralf. Way over rated just an awful noise

All you negative critics couldn't hold a candle to this man. Further more, you probably couldn't begin to play some of these pieces but you all have comments. Just a bunch of silly, uneducated snobs who probably wouldn't know a B flat from a fart in the Lincoln Tunnel..

[64ftContraBombarde]

Why does everything he plays sound bad? If this was anybody else they wouldn't stand a chance. Numerous inaccuracies, far too numerous to warrant the praise he gets...

[eameece]

This piece is natural for Fox, with all the razzamutazz Vierne put into it.

[Diapason16ft]

The original Garden Grove Ruffatti!  So nice to hear it again. I think it had much more character before it was absorbed into the Hazel Wright Monster-ial Organ.

[ihadaralf]

He may well have popularized the organ but everything he touches always sounds like a caricature of the original. Buy it high, sell it cheap-that's Virgil Fox. This 'interpretation' of one of the most stunning creations for the instrument is quite frankly, ghastly; almost to the level of his Durufle toccata.

[Diapasonic]

@ihadaralf You seem to take exception to this performance. The tempo is as marked by Vierne, all notes are clearly heard. There are a few ritardandos here & there, but what is so terrible about the playing?

Virgil Fox was a pupil of Vierne as well.
