As I tried to say in the first version of SSF, this young man is playing whan an entire marching/symphonic band plays. AT times he is actually playing THREE melodies simultaneously! FANTASTIC! I really enjoy this young man's interpretation! I think MR> SOUSA would too! I know nothing about this young man...and wonder where his "home" church organ is? I'd love to see and hear him in person! BRAVO! Cameron

@kasha1932

kasha, you should watch him play this on the Trinity organ. there are times Cameron is playing FIVE melodies simultaneously! 2 manuals, a third with his thumb and 2 more on the pedals (pedals were in split mode)

[kasha1932]

@BigOrganPipes MRBOP....How thougtful of you to write to me. Just where would I find this Trinity Organ?

Where would this organ convention be held this coming year? That would be such absolute fun for me!

Please let me know if you ever find out. This Cameron is one of nature's gift to humanity! I'd love to see a

@kasha1932

if you mean the video. check my favorites.

if you literally mean where is the organ. it's at Trinity Church Wall Street in New York City

Cameron had 2 concerts there, summers of 2006 & 2007. he also did a Halloween night concert there where he played the 565 and some silent film accompaniment

for current concerts check out his website

Sorry, Sounds better on the Marshall & Ogeltree at Trinity Wall Street

[BigOrganPipes]

@38Hansen i agree in some ways. this organ can't seem to keep with with Cameron's pace. this organ does seem to have a very "rich" sound but it's very sluggish. the trinity (since it's electronic) is quicker and can actually keep up with Cameron

it almost seems like this organ is too big for it's acoustics

Cameron is a wonderful colorful figure in today's music. Thanks for the post!

...have an old recording (on vinyl no less) of E Power Biggs playing this at Symphony Hall in Boston.

Not only is Cameron Carpenter the very best young pipe organist around today, he is also the best looking and I dare say, the SMARTEST around too ! Cameron, if you ever read this, know that you were brought here DIRECTLY from Heaven, and God said he wants his favorite organist back someday to play that mammoth pipe organ that awaits you in Heaven!

[kerryincolumbus]

there is NO ONE In the world today capable of playing the pipe organ or theatre organ like this young man! One has to experience him playing this piece live to understand how brilliant and talented he really is!

As pulmonary physiologist, NO one, scientist, philosopher or theologian etc say there is no genetic preferences in people and their sexual orientation. Carpenter has the specific genetic code to excel at organ.
