  • love hearing those warm celestes

  • yes, I posted this to showcase this particular organ. Perhaps you can listen to the other recordings that I've posted of this same organ.

  • I appreciate everyone's comments. As I said earlier, I wanted to showcase the Organ, which impressed me. Further recordings, which are even more impressive are on my tube page. This particular piece, you can hear all "4-Parts", "SATB" , simultaneously and follow them and understand them.

  • It's very, very slow. So much so that it loses its shape and flow. The actual sound and playing is fine, just the tempo. It reminds me of Bernstein's infamous recording with the BBCSO.

  • thnx 4 ur comment.  I posted this video, in particular, to showcase the Organ.

  • I din't think it is too slow at all. I play this very expressive piece deliberately slow!

    Nicely done, thanks for posting!

  • I disagree that the tempo is too slow. Elgar's Enigma variations have been a favorite of mine for many years and the composer was reflecting on Beethoven slow movements when he wrote this variation. The tempo was perfect and the organ sounded great.

  • Absolutely superb!

  • Granted, the tempo is a bit slow, but the registrations are pretty good. Some organists use a bit more dynamics and crescendo towards the end. This is a fine sounding instrument.

  • Choir boy from hell 1hahahahahaha

    thought this should be played on a austin or aeolian skinner and some shitz ahhahahahah etc

    hahahahahah

    IDIOT

    nothing is written for this crap

    Show me some compositions that were inspired by any of these sounds that are even half of what this piece is
