  • The danger with playing from memory is that you might actually play REALLY WELL! Nothing is a greater handicap to musicians of any ilk than trying to read from a score while playing. If you can't play without the score, you don't really know it.

  • What a performance! For me mr. Jacobs shows that he understands every single note of the peace and is capable of sharing his joy playing it, with us. I would like to hear his interpretation on one of our great Dutch organs. Many thanks for posting.

  • To @colinmacknight: But, Colin, - IS it objectively wrong? Perhaps I am more heavy-handed, needing weight, force and strength... And no other composer gives the performer a better chance to express passion than Reger. Thanks for your comment.

  • @Machru of course it has nothing to do with personal taste. if he doesn't play it as YOU think it should be played, it is objectively WRONG.

  • @Machru It is the artist's privilege to interpret the music, I believe. That is be beauty of music, you can put your own feeling into it and personalize it. Maybe not everyone will agree, but it becomes new again and unique.

  • fantastic performance. Reger's music is so dramatic

  • @pdleavitt I don't know if this accounts for organ players, but it definitely doesn't account for piano players. Richter played a lot from scores, and Berezovsky does do as well because of memory problems, fear of forgetting parts (is he a worse player because of this?). Also, in chambermusic it is more rule than exception to play with a score.

  • No comments on the Marshall & Ogletree VIRTUAL Pipe organ itself?

    Certainly sounds "real" in my headphones. Besides a myriad of carefully placed custom speaker and sub-woofer cabinets, how much of this is the building's reverb versus how much is electronically processed?

    Sure is a great fill-in for their Skinner!
