Ah, the Redford, I've never been there but I do love that it has the special honor of being the only Japanese Atmospheric. That Barton must have a great deal of unification for ten ranks or shallow chambers or somethin. It's a big sound. CATOE's ten rank Wurlitzer in Downers Grove, IL has half that volume.

@TheBaritoneCrooner I played for a CATOE social event at the Tivoli once, I love that organ.

Which organ is this? The room seems to have grand accoustics. This sounds just as awesome as your Allen/Reuter rendition..

@TheBaritoneCrooner This is the Redford Theatre in Detroit; 3/10 Barton organ.

Last night my wife and I saw "Psycho" at Benaroya Hall with the music performed by the Seattle Symphony Orchestra String Ensemble. Their performance was nothing short of breathtaking, but I must say that Emily's performance spoiled me. The music is sitting in front of me while she plays and I am amazed at how effectively she permeates our being with the creepiness of one of Hitchcock's best. BTW, when Hitch made his cameo, almost the entire theatre applauded loudly. Thanks Emily, Keep it up!
