Good performance! The artificial reverb is the biggest giveaway that the sound is synthetic.

[stefanussen]

@lorganiste There's nothing artificial about the reverb. What you are hearing is exactly what was recorded in the building. Whether or not sampled sound is "synthetic" is entirely up to you.

[Timrath]

@Afaral1989 Absolutely right. Technique matters only insofar as it serves producing the right sound. As long as it sounds right, one should play with toes, heels, knees, hockey sticks, or remote controlled nuclear submarines. The question is as moot as the one regarding whether one should use pedals when playing Bach on the piano, or whether to use steel or catgut strings on the violin.

The end justifies the means. As long as it doesn't land you in jail, use whatever you want.

I'm not an organ expert, but I know great playing when I hear it. Nice of you to acknowledge your wife and teacher. Thanks for a great experience.

You have a really nice touch, very relaxed, which is so important to playing this composition at its best. Good job!

bellissima esibizione!

This synthesizer is wonderful! His presentation was also beautiful!

Are you wearing TicTacToe organists shoes?

[ungodd]

10 dislikes. Really? Whether you are very talented, somewhat talented, barely useful or useless as a musician; what could prompt you to give this beautiful performance a thumbs down?

[Manoscott]

Wonderful technique wedded to a great sounding instrument. Marvellous! Thank you for providing all of us access to your talent and musicianship.
