bien mais crescendo poco a poco ...

Is playing from photocopies of 20th Century French Music legal in Finland?

[mariaimmaculata]

Yes, if you have the originals as well :-)

I do imagine things while playing.. I think we all do!

[Capitalism4ever44]

@JSC1401 Nein!

[JSC1401]

Did you have an image in your mind of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon one of the 7 wonders of the ancient world?

[mariaimmaculata]

Thanks for the comments :-)

The finding of a good registration was not very easy here. Thus the choice. I wasn't perfectly happy about it either.

The middle part could have been slower ;-) maybe I got nervous.. ?

one needs registrants for this type of an organ, with no computer or setzer. I am happy my friends (organists also both of them) volunteered!

[tjugofyra]

This organ is a real gem!

You play this brilliant piece very well!

God, I want to play this organ again!!

[kunstderfuge]

Such a beautiful piece and played so sensitively!

Wish you'd taken the middle part slower, though (the composer indicates which notes should be prolonged), and there's a fermata over the Great C in the pedal.

I, for one, could sure use the 2 registrants when I play!

What a nice Peace of music

[mariemoscatelli]

Very lovely interpretation. Noticed you played the triplets an octave lower than written; the registration sounds really weird there. Perhaps you should try the normal octave, even if you don't have the nasard Alain calls for.

[mtervaportti]

No, she just occasionally plays there.

That organ is one of the best instruments in Finland, if not the best! I had the opportunity to play it in -07. An absolutely marvelous organ by Åkerman och Lund!

This is very well played. Is she the titulay organist?

[forceetagilite]

Finally someone played here "Le Jardin suspendu" !!! Very well! I love music of Jehan Alain!

I'm waiting for more!

[gogogadget91]
