very different but you know the sounds of the trackers with the organ gives it a quasi-castanet feel giving it a really folk type flavor. I hope those are on the CD too because it helps give a wonderful flavor to the piece.

Hi -- no it is not on the CD but Mr Hilden also liked my recording The CD is made with the best pro from Naxos.

I hope you will bay the CD

Proprius, PRCD2055. This organ is the best in the world for barock acording to the pros.

I think this is just ugly.

@exxxmarine it sounds like he's beating the hell out of the keys!

[1lonlyferret]

that was cool

[exxxmarine]

The sounds of the trackers should NOT be heard on an organ, any more than the jacks should be heard in harpsichord performance. It is perfectly possible to play a tracker instrument, fully coupled, at speed, without all that extraneous noise. I do so on a regular basis.

Composition is exceedingly interesting, but the performer needs to work on the delicacy of his touch.  Even a completely mechanical organ action need not be this clickety-clackety.

Nice jacket. is that silk?

I just noticed: Nice how the registrant forgot to turn the pages at 7:32 :-) He repeated the passage a couple of times in that "gap" :-D

This is a really interesting performance :) I am personally no friend of such music, especially played on organ but that piece is really convincing me! First I though: what's that? But after listening to it a while and getting in to the mood of the piece I start to like it really much! ;) Hopefully I will get the chance somewhen to get my hands on the score of this beautiful modern piece.

By the way: you can pretty much dance to this very good I found out myself :D

Kind of neat, congratulations! Sounds like the Buxtehude g minor at about 7:15
