Eric Plutz plays Sabre Dance at Princeton University Chapel

Princeton University Organist Eric Plutz plays a lively organ transcription of Aram Khachaturian's Sabre Dance from the ballet "Gayane" on the Aeolian-Skinner pipe organ at Princeton University Chapel.

This performance is contained as one track of Eric Plutz's new Pro Organo audio CD, entitled "Carnival" - Pro Organo CD 7227, being released in November 2008.

Eric Plutz's "Carnival" CD is a program of symphonic organ transcriptions, and includes many symphonic favorites, including Dvorak's "Carnival Overture" and Camille Saint-Saens' "Carnival of the Animals." In "Carnival of the Animals," Eric is joined by Princeton University Professor Emeritus John V. Fleming, as Professor Fleming reads the verses of Ogden Nash that correspond to the various musical movements of the Saint-Saens work.

I've actually had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Plutz in Baltimore once, after he performed Bach's Fugue in A Minor. He is an excellent instrumentalist.

This piece is very suited to the organ in my opinion, alot more than an orchestra or any other instrument. It sounds perfect!

The little grin at the end says it ALL. Awsome Eric...one of my all time favorite pieces since I was 3 years old. The honking reeds just worked great.

This sounds mad on an organ but I could imagine it'd be incredible to be stood in the church soaking it up at full blast. Thanks for posting!
