Nicholas White, the cathedral's assistant organist at the time (& former organ scholar at Clare College, Cambridge), performs the final movement of Vierne's Symphony #1. The spectacular instrument in the world's 6th-largest cathedral is 189 ranks/10,650 pipes. Recorded in 1996 on analog equipment & transferred thru several media formats over the years: hence the distortion, etc.

  • ISN'T THAT GUY WHO GOT TRAPPED IN THE ELEVATOR?!

  • @creator549  Different Nick White

  • So it's been a few months since the WaPo article detailing this great Skinner's planned demise. Any word that the cathedral gentry have recanted and will keep this great instrument as she's been? Help me out here, I'm a DC born/raised native, now living/working in NC. What news?

  • All is quiet at the corner of Mass & Wisconsin. No one is saying anything. They keep scheduling organ concerts, which would seem to indicate that removal of the existing instrument has been put off. And the Cathedral is having big financial problems (that predated the national economic freefall), which might force them to put the project on hold (hopefully permanently).

  • This guy has some major talent,wonder why he hasnt been featured on any cd releases,I would buy his work any day of the week!Great video!

  • I think he did release a CD several years ago of some performances on an organ in NYC. Google Nicholas White: he's got a web site, & there may be some info. on it. He's a hell of an organist, isn't he?

  • Perfect tempo for the room you're in! Some go too fast mushing it all together and some go too slow making it sound remedial. You were GREAT!!!
