Just because a facade is designed in a very modern manner (to suit the rest of the building design if you didn't notice the architecture), does not mean it is "un-liturgical" if that's a word. Proper performance of the organ in liturgy has nothing to do with the facade. And how can you make a statement on the reeds using the audio quality from YouTube? I am sure they sound better on a CD (or live for that matter) -- if so the ending must sound great live. Full organ sounds delightful here.
The flues Fred is using sounded nice till he added some not so good chorus reeds. Sorry. They pass but they are not up to snuff ; they could b better and should be for such a principal installation. AS for the facade it is tasteless, un-liturgical and plain ugly-looking.Surely something more dignified should have been designed.

@mrstevecbournias: May I inquire what you mean by your statement that the facade is un-liturgical?
