Registration like I have never heard before - absolutely the clearest interpretation of the work I have heard - the opening of the Fuge was fantastic on those tiny flutes!!!! Bravo - and that extraordinary Reed entry towards the end was very exciting - in all - absolutely never a dull moment! Thank you!!

BRAVO! I might just have to go learn the Fantasia (I certainly couldn't pull off the fugue right now).

Dear Christopher:
You FEEL every note like Bach did. That reality in you makes the difference between playing and performing. Your pipe organ performances are entirely fresh and original musical milestones no matter how many times or places you have previously played a given composition--it is as if it is being played for the first and only time ever. In this you are likely in a category unto yourself.May you be forever blessed for coming into existence and being motivated to develop this art.

Christopher, I appreciate your passion.
It is good to see and hear you on an organ that I've heard before. I heard Bradley Welsh play this instrument last year when I lived in Columbus. I now live in Madison, WI, is there any chance that you will come here and play the Orgelbau Klais 2004 Opus 1819 III/72 Overture Concert Organ?
