British organist, Simon Nieminski, the organist for St Mary's Metropolitan Cathedral in Edinburgh, is seen playing the opening of Max Reger's Symphonic Fantasy and Fugue, Op 57, in this sneak preview made during his recording sessions at First Baptist Church of Abilene, Texas in May, 2008.
Simon offers a few comments on the occasion, the organ, and what he misses about the UK when he comes to America.
The Pro Organo CD is available now, and features music by Max Reger, Marcel Dupre, Frederick H. Wood, Dietrich Buxtehude and Andre Raison.
The recording is to be the premiere CD made on the new 4-manual pipe organ at First Baptist Church of Abilene, Texas, built by the Little Rock, Arkansas firm of Nichols & Simpson.
