Half of the negative commentaries on this video are the exact reason why the general public and young people (above all in western societies) are no longer interested in the organ (or most classical music for that matter). Congratulations...

Diane has given the world a great gift in her music. We should rejoice and be glad in it,,I do,and Virgil thought a lot of her and her excellent television series is still without equal. Blessings!

@PointyTailofSatan The console was designed by the conductor of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, Andrew Davis and the manufactuer, Gabriel Kney. Andrew Davis is also an organist and will sometimes be seated at the console while conducting the orchestra. May be a bad design but practically designed.

Diane Bish is the best looking and best- and most gifted- pipe organist we have alive today. She's just plain fierce. Kind of like Bach was in his day: Anyone who heard or saw him play was both enraptured and terrorized. He got fired from one job as the kappelmeister for physically and emotionally terrorizing the choir boys, especially one child who ran home with bleeding ears to his father who happened to be the head of the church committee. His comment: "He sings off-key."

G.Danda plays it a little slower and better.

This is so GREAT!!!!!!

Agree absolutely about the accoustics, it's so fast that many notes are a blurred jumble. Virgil could play like this but when he did it was not good listening, he did it to entertain. If you want musicality don't use this as an example.

Hope she caught her train !

@dustermouse , I agree with you. No feeling. She sounds the same when she rewrites something. Yes,she is talented but lay off the heavy handed left hand.

I actually have this piece as done by Virgil Fox, and I feel like Diane does a much better job- I like it faster; it's more exciting!!

The person that designed that console is an idiot. The stopboard layout is so bad....

I've never seen an organ console like this one. It looks more like a computer printer than an organ. Any info on this instrument?

I love this piece, but Dianne Bish is rushing like she's either late to dinner or has to pee. The tempo of the piece needs to be more in line with the instrument and acoustics of the room. Otherwise, it just become a wall of sound. No doubt that she's a very talented player, but she was in a hurry on this one.
