  • Thomas,magnificent,words can't say enough!!!

  • Actually it is . . It's no harder to play technically than many pieces as far as the basic fingering. The devil of difficulty however, is in the immensely musical way which he plays it ;-)

  • I particularly enjoy the way Mr. Murray held a tone with his second finger while playing a melody on another manual with his 3rd, 4th and 5th fingers. And such a wonderful instrument to play on!

  • Oh it certainly is!! - It's SUBLIME in it's simplicity!!

    The transcription is transcendent!

    Don't confuse the technical demands of playing this with the utterly amazing simplicity of the actual piece.

  • wow you are super good!

  • Sophia, divine wisdom, and the beauty of the entire Cosmos flows over me when I listen to this music. Grounded on Earth, all we can do is admire the endless flow of the clouds, but something more calls us. We are not meant for this land, but another. =)

  • SO beautiful--player & instrument!

  • One of the most inspiring performances I've ever heard.

  • such a fantastic piece, and its most certainly not easy
