Fabulous! Yes not the best organ in the world! Kind of screechy and harsh at times. Too top heavy!
-
Fabulous!

I would love to see the Watanabe's do a performance together on the Wanamaker organ :)
-
What a surprise, a Ruffatti with ugly screaming mixtures that are so loud you can't even hear the 8' stops. >:-( Interesting arrangement though
-
because the average human only has 2 hands =P
-
Excellent arrangement!!! You are both fantastic!!! Especially noticed the beautiful French Horn effect you use in the softer middle section!!! What perfect registrations throughout! Thanks for including the pedal glissando...Virgil would love it!!!

Do you know where can I buy sheet online for this duet arrangement?
-
Why is he not playing it by himself? It's easy enough.
-
Yes indeed. He also plays the transcription when he performs with an orchestra.

Very nice work. A truly impressive piece... just not the same without the orchestra and there is something unpleasant about the mixtures on that Rufatti. It could be the room. I'm so used to playing in a Gothic style room with 4 second reverb. You two can play my measly 22 ranks anytime. Wonderful to hear such talent.



I belive Fox did the Jongen with a full orchestra, so he didn't need a second pair of hands!

Virgil Fox also made an arrangement of Toccata from Symphonie Concertante for organ solo, and he played it all by himself. The video is available on YouTube. Virgil is the best!

Great job! Is your arrangement of this available for purchase? I have always wanted to play some version of this great piece. But being more of a seasoned "church" organist, I do feel that I would be better with one of my colleagues playing it with me.
