ok, this guy is seriously good.

Maybe a hair too fast, but other than that, I liked it. I'd kill to hear this on one of the big organs, like the Wanamaker or the Atlantic City organ(if it ever works right again). God, imagine that 64' diaphone...

Very well played, but that room is far too soft (needs more echo).

B R A V O !

a peice played to perfection,

@helloitsmelol097 I'm not sure who has got full size 64's and who doesn't. Not really a "size" guy, myself. More into frequency. I remember seeing a 32' reed when I worked at Wicks that was the size of a coffee can. It was like tuning a compressor; but when played in a division, it really put a nice edge on the sound.

@dbjarrett Same here. are the real ones i thought only 2 organs had real 64' pipes? and would love to see pipes also.

I agree with those of you who say it is played too fast. Yes it is a difficult piece and playing it fast shows great talent, but in my humble opinion C.M. Widor did not intend for it to be played that fast. Still a great performance!

@dbjarrett Correction. 64's. Man, I'd love to see the chambers on this one.

I like those little bounces he starts with the swell at 2:30. Not enough of a buildup to the finale at 2:45, I thought, but then again, the recordings of this instrument I've seen have consistently had volume problems, so it may be the recording equipment. Didn't like the decrescendo at 4:00. Thought he took the finale a little fast, but I liked that he played the double-pump. Overall-*louder*. Don't be afraid of full organ.
Who's the manufacturer here? Does it have a web page I can check out?

Dan Garland Pipe Organs of Fort Worth, Texas built this instrument in 2003.
