Sorry Richard Gale, I don't believe you. You can't look a person straight in the face when you tell your story. In the video you were the agressor, Casey took a punch to the face from you and didn't retaliate. It was only after repeated punches that you got slammed. I think you're a liar.

@Musique3579 What's holding you back? Vierne was practically blind when he composed. Go for it! Write your hommage.

Of any Cameron Carpenter piece I've heard so far, I like this the best by far. I would consider a lot of his expressiveness in this recording as unorthodox, and his registration is not very baroque (this instrument sounds like it is designed for romantic period literature), BUT, Cameron managed ...

@technocrash09 You are certainly entitled to your preferences. I don't deny Fox was masterful - again his Tu Es Petra at Wanamaker's seems unbeatable. But, humor me. Compare his recording of the Westminster Carillon at Wanamaker's vs. Ben Van Oosten at St. Ouen, Rouen. Try it. Perhaps you'll...

@Misslissmissymiss So you're a health care aide, taking care of people with disabilities, ok, wonderful! And you're part of a satellite protest of OWS in Canada who is upset about a crime bill. Ok, imposes mandatory jail sentences for what? Once again your message is vague. You support what m...

Overall not bad, you seem to have the notes under control and you display a nice legato touch with good pedal technique in the 3rd mov't. The 1st mov't seemed a bit fast and would like less upperwork in your registration, more 8' stops, 2nd mov't consider using more rubato, 3rd mov't seemed slow...

Gee. so governor Romney is proposing no new taxes on people earning less than 200k / year. Wow, where have I heard something similar to that before? Downsize the IRS! Go with the flat fair tax!

Bottom line: O'Donnell tried on numerous occasions to trap Herman Cain and make him look silly. Every hardball that O'Donnell, threw, Cain hit out of the park and reduced O'Donnell to the childish infant he is. No wonder Cain would be happy to sit down w/ O'Donnell again.

I'm 100% in agreement with Eccentric Richard. Let me just say that I was pleasantly surprised by this offering from D Bish. As others have commented, I don't believe the tempo here is too slow, I think it's certianly within a range of acceptable tempi. So, give credit where credit is due, grea...

@organmad Hello, sorry, but playing something to demonstrate speed and technical ability creates no 'Wow' factor for me. For me it does the opposite and takes something away from a performance. But that is what makes you and me uniquely separate..

This is a man, a giant, in a boy's shoes.

@loydsheryl I hope it's helpful. My teacher recommended them when I started many years ago, and while I'm no Cameron Carpenter, I'm sure any organist will find this company good to deal with. It's been a while since I invested in a pair of shoes from them, so I hope they still exist.

First, I'm certainly impressed by Cameron's technical ability, but I don't care for his interpretation of Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor, at least the small clip that was recorded here. However, his version of Souza's Stars and Stripes Forever is off the charts!

@colinmacknight He has to be using pistons one way or the other. Crescendo pedals are not configured this way. Remember, pistons can be activated with the hands or via a toe stud.

@rickyfan3956 OK, then my apologies for the misunderstanding. I don't care to trace back the conversation between you and TT878 and neither am I a fan of Fred Phelps. Rather, I would like to just appreciate the beautiful picture and sound painted by this video clip, I especially enjoyed the bla...

@Alkelei Yes, and I almost forgot - did you notice the way he 'supervises' his right hand at the end of the piece with a watchful look of high expectation during that descending passage? I pity the right hand if it did not fulfill those expectations.

@padredemishijos12 Hello Padre! For one, I'd highly recommend you look up Gabriela Montero. She is a classically trained pianist, and I believe she studied with Martha Argerich. However, she is brilliant at improvisation. There are already several clips of her posted on Youtube. Do yourself ...

Personally I found the commercials to be funny. I think you are taking this all too seriously. Lighten up! A little self deprecating humor can be good for the soul from time to time.

@amshg21 Hello! Sorry for my delayed response. Honestly I don't know exactly when the video was taken but if I had to guess it would surely be late 50s early 60s.

As far as I'm concerned, Van Cliburn 'set the standard' for the Rach 2 when he recorded it w/ the Chicago Symphony under Reiner. H...

@OrangeSodaKing , not just terrific, legendary.
