Looks like everybody but you had positive comments and enjoyed the performance, who really gives a flying fart about what some purist thinks about mundane insignificant tempo, registration or attack in the performance is!

He is not recording an album nor is this some organ competition or audition, he is playing for random crowd in the park- most of whom probably know nothing about organs or organ music but appreciated his performance and enjoyed it, all except for YOU AulicExclusiva.

FIne thing for an armchair "organist" to criticize a musician's difficult performance, it's FREE you dolt, if you don't like the way he played- too bad, get off your azz and produce your OWN video and put your stupid comments where your fingers are and let's just SEE how much better YOU think you are at playing this piece!

All of you do not understand what is so important about this organ. It was build by Austin in 1915 for the Panama California Exposition. The same year they also built the Exposition Organ for the Panama Pacific Exposition in San Francisco. The San Francisco organ was housed in Festival Hall, later moved to the Civic Auditorium now in storage. This Austin was given to the City of San Diego by John Spreckels for the Exposition. Yes it is outdoors, but the unique feature is being outdoors.

@scotto40 Words of Wisdom.... STAY OUT OF SAN DIEGO ..... WE Love this outdoor organ .... (maybe you live in Ohio where having an outdoor organ concert in the middle of December is unheard of ... in San Diego ... it might be 80 degrees ! )

Organist is good! However, I am not a fan of this organ. I wonder whose idea it was to do an outside organ. A good Acoustic contributes so much to a pipe organ. There is absolutely no acoustic outdoors. I have heard some good Austin's before, but quite frankly...this organ was a failure before it ever got started. You would think an organ builder such as Austin would have never tried such a hair-brained plan to do an outside organ. What a waste!

Congratulations Jackson, excellent performance!

I remember a few Halloween evenings ago watching the old black and white silent version of Phantom of the Opera at this San Diego venue while accompanied by the organ. What a great experience that was. And I believe it was free.

Sounds like someone is puking at 0.39 xD

What a honker of an organ!

I wonder what it says on the placards on the console?

This is an amazing instrument. Get down to San Diego for a Sunday concert if you can. The way this instrument speaks out of doors is as I said, amazing. Plus you can play literally any kind of music on it, from Bach to orchestral transcriptions to 20th century stuff. A very versatile instrument. And you can tour inside the instrument and speak w/ the organist after the concert.
