A dazzling and brilliantly dynamic improvisation on a very fine instrument in a beautifully alive acoustic space. The finale is somewhat reminiscent of Lloyd Holzgraf's performance of "Festival Toccata" by R. Fletcher recorded at First Congregational Church of Los Angeles, issued by Miller and Kreisel on a direct to disc realtime recording entitled "The Power and the Glory." Those last few moments have a firey power of sensational virtuosity coupled with undeniable nobility and majesty.
too bad the voicing on Austin organs is is at times... sub prime. This would be fun to hear on a bolder instrument such as a Jaeckel.
