Great to see new videos from you! Wonderfully performed! Your playing is always recognizable... when I opened this video, my first thought was "Why, that sounds like Bob Swift." and then I looked at the user and sure enough...

That's a very good thing, few organists can have a way of playing that is uniquely theirs and recognizable! Fantastic! I can't wait to see and hear more!

Thank YOU for commenting. I added this piece to the program a few days before the recital. I love the antiphonal effects.

great performance- inspirational just to listen to it as an enjoyable musical experience and also inspirational as a model performance. I am currently learning it now after discovering the score on the Net so I also really appreciate some great playing to give me a starting picture of how it should sound. Much appreciated.

I had not heard this piece in a long time! I had forgotten how much I like it!

So was this whole concert performed by you, or where there other performers as well? I'd love if you could send me a program, you have my email address I think.
