I have to say I like the sound of the organ from the 1983 CSO recording a bit better

[TheGillton]

@rubycodez Hi

I am not about to suggest that electronic "toasters" will ever replace a good pipe organ. They are in fact faximilies but some like Allen, Rodgers, M&O, Walker can be convincing. I have no room for 39 ranks of pipes, nor the budget,for my home organ which affords me practise very conveniently. Portability for purposes such as concerts and exposure to good organ playing in addition to budget considerations means there is a place for digital organs with good audio.

@JoRoAM1 , Rogers and Allen digital organ can both make a very satisfying sound, *when they are crushed!!* To hades with digital organs!

[JoRoAM1]

I love this music but the organ here is inadequate. It should sound out over and above the orchestra. This one is feeble.

@rubycodez

No It is NOT an Allen...Lighted draw stops most likely a Rogers

This organ part of this symphony is seriously the most beautiful sound I have ever heard. The notes are very simple, but their distances between each other are absolutely perfect. I am stunned and get goosebumps every time I hear it. Phenomenal.
