Cameron Carpenter on CBS 'Sunday Morning'

[Acecool444]

Prodigal Genius! Highly innovative, 21st Century Renaissance Musical Artisan!

Critics? Think FUTURE! It's state of the art! One of the most AMAZING Vids I've seen to date!

WOW! Just WOW!

[1888bfs]

this guy is amazing,,,, I had met Virgil, and Carlo, they were, and still are great, but this guy is amazes me more

[Estrionagio]

it is just amassing - great respect to the talent and hard work accompanied it

[jgunde1]

Bad boys do rule...the purists said the same things years ago about my friend Virgil Fox...those who can...play!!

[accousticdecay]

Fantastic! Bad boys rule!! And digital organs are here to stay. (Oh, and I heard Carlo Curly play an Allen hybrid in person... sounded great, and he even said that his ears could not tell the difference between the real and digital stops).

[westekhel]

Bad boy? Liberace of the organ. Liberace's reincarnation. Believe it or not, but Liberace breathed classical music for all, and the piano was popular. Now, we will have more than 350 years of music into pop. Cameron is not a Bad Boy, it´s more than a good boy. Typical of Americans, show man and shout diamonds, but why not in the world of art.

[peteacher52]

The purists have their place, and for as long as they don't get self-righteous and begin passing snide comments about the skills of their forward-thinking colleagues, both factions can get along just fine. I can't imagine Piet Kee, Carlo Curley or Gillian Weir getting precious about their own styles whilst disparaging others who like digital as well as pure pipe. Cameron; you're a breath of fresh air!

[Desmosoom]

Does anyone know the name of the music between 0:17 en 0:24?

Or is it an improvisation?

[contranimal]

@Desmosoom I believe that is from Festive Overture by Dimitri Shostakovich

[Naltino]

Cameron is the greatest organist in the world today. I'm an organist...and I say this with confidence. SCREW the purist!!!!! Jealousy will make them say anything they want. But no one and I mean no one has that kind of technique at the organ. Not even the great Virgil Fox. This guy is a SUPERVIRTUOSO. There's no way to describe him. I dare any other organist to play Chopin's Revolutionary Etude with their feet!

[ebach1]

:) i would not put it as the bad boy etc .

every musician has his own style

[brandonelliot]

I think this is my long lost non-identical twin... He lives in a small studio apt with his cat, I live in a small studio apt with my cat... I just wish I could play like this lololol

[nicknixon100]

What a wonderful gift you have....WOW!!!!

[organpipe8]

Now, that was really a funny interview!

Especially the bad boy of the Organ thing!

[43g30g]

Can't wait for Cameron to return to Michigan- he gave an outstanding talk & presentation at the U. of Michigan several months ago!

[VinnieSutra]

Bravo Cameron. Always loved the sound of the organ, but Cameron brings it all to a new level. He will be remembered for centuries to come.

[mrsJentoyou]

This female reporter "discovered" him? He had to be nominated for a grammy b 4 she heard of him I've been watching him on you tube for over a year! Still YOU ROCK CAMERON!
