Thanks for the comments. I know what the registration is supposed to be, but I do not have the skills to make rapid registration changes mid-performance. I have recently installed toe-pistons but i do not know how to activate registration changes. In my case it would take two people to perform this piece, me to play and an assistant to change stops.

le 32' des le debut c pas écrit dans la partition, et malheureusement aucune nuances par la suite...un peu décevant

the sound is very bad,,, but this is gooood

[tubamaxima]

The video recorder was a cheap thing called a "Flip". I'm actually surprised it's that good. Yes, the sound is bad. Maybe half of something is better than a whole of nothing. I just did it to demonstrate the organ

The Cavaille-Coll samples from HW are fantastic! I love their work from the Metz organ

[tubamaxima]

Hauptwerk is truly amazing. I have two Cavaille-Coll samples, the Metz and the Caen.

Great, I love the 32' Pedal as well. good technique, good tempo.

[indytriton]

Wonderful!!!

I liked the playing but save the 32' until the end. it's a little too full on when you have it all the way through!

@tubamaxima Does your organ have a reversible "Pedal 32s on" (or off) toe stud? if so, you can use it to add the 32s at the last statenment of the theme as Noel Rawsthorne did in His Liverpool Cathedral recording to great effect. Other than that you did a very good job indeed.

@tubamaxima the contra bombarde of the pedal is great,

i love Cavaillé-Coll classical pipe organs.

@87PianoGirl see valentina maria baginska....she plays in a much faster tempo which suites this piece better

[ziobebino]

audio very ugly

[pio9210]

Sound from this organ is very good! And your'r playing very well! (sorry, my Englisch is very poor)

[87PianoGirl]

I can't play it this fast yet...your video inspired me to get off my butt and start practicing...
