We are all in search of the perfect organ sound. The stings and reeds of this instrument is as close as you can get.

@GovernmentHarlequin The organ and stained glass windows allow you to see and hear God, my friend.

I agree that this is soulfully played. This was my dad's favorite Christmas hymn and I lost my dad four years ago at Christmas. He was not an openly religious man and decried the massive over-commercialization of Christmas. He always thought that Christmas was not about gifts, midnight store sale...

I like the spirit of consecrating gifts of food. I also like the reading from Ephesians. But let’s be honest, it was the E.M. Skinner pipe organ sound that brought me in off the street. This video demonstrates the glorious Skinner strings and reeds in a most satisfying manner. Mercifully, the cel...

Very nicely done. I like the varied registrations. It sounds like a Moeller.

I love it. Widor's execution is perfect. It is hard for me to put this into words if you have not experienced this personally but certain pipes "speak" best at a certain slower tempo if allowed to do so against the backdrop of the "tocatta".

Brilliantly and strongly played and at the right tempo, for a change. The improv at the end is magnificent.This is one of the finest organs in the world until someone finds an excuse to screw it up.

Now if we could just hear it this way on Easter Sunday. You know...without the goddam brass, bell ringers, kettledrums, overzealous chior sopranos,etc.

An absurd and annoying improv which butchers the original hymn beyond recognition. If you can't succeed as a church organist, I'm sure that there's some carnival somewhere that would be happy to have you.

This song sounds so good- you are so talented! How the heck do you get such a professional sound without a studio set-up?

Very nicely done. I've never had an encounter with a Reuter organ except for your vid.

This is a very nice sounding organ. You play very well and your registrations are quite sensible.
