This is so beautiful! I am trying to learn this piece and I listen to this frequently for inspiration!!

It is so nice to hear this piece played at steadier, majestic tempo than the usual frantic rush that most organists play it at! I would use a different registration, but still I must congratulate you for your performance.

That is quite the reverb in that room. Wonderful job, thanks for sharing!

Good playing! Perhaps you can minimize your movements with your complete body while pressing the pedal keys.
