Nice playing, Peter. Care to tell us where (in England, I assume) it was?

[PYJones]

Thanks, It was actually in Scotland, it's the organ at the University of Glasgow Memorial Chapel. Willis III, Rebuilt by Harrisons in 2005.

Good piece! And the playing is very good also. Might the organ be a skinner?

[PYJones]

Thanks, the organ is a Willis, refurbished by Harrison & Harrison

@LaDivinaAriell: First of all you shouldn't react like I'm attacking someone, but I'm sorry if I hurt your ego with my OPINION. I'm just saying that I don't like this piece. Doesn't matter who plays it... Again, MY opinion. Where did you see me suggest I can play this better ? That makes your comment pretty senseless to me... To tell you the truth I'm one of the organists of the Notre Dame in Paris. If you want to judge my playing I'd suggest you come to Paris ;)

@organman52 Thanks for explaining, I appreciate it.

@LaDivinaAriell I tried writing back to you and it would not post. I am trying now again. My view about this 'music' is that it is entirely derivative - texture, tonal and harmonic language, melody, rhythm. In other words, it it not original. While it might be 'effective' and idiomatic for the organ, it does not, as does every true masterpiece, generate itself. This is simply a 'model' piece, technically quite secure, but completely lacking in substance. It is about 100 years overdue.

@organman52 Hmmm. Not my judgement, but....if you wish to not substantiate your views, then let it be so....well, if anyone else would like to discuss this piece in compositional terms, send me a mail sometime. And peace to you organman...

[organman52]

To Ladivinaariell - I am completely UNworthy to discuss anything with the enlightened one [you, of course].

[organman52]

@LaDivinaAriell I am completely UNworthy.
