His Toccata and Fugue is fine and enjoyable; this version of this (definitely by Bach!) piece has some scales added but is still authentic. Of course it doesn't have to be "returned" to the organ; thousands of recordings and concerts have been made through the decades; and any "normal" version of this piece is still the greatest! But, Cameron is so articulate; quite a genius. Sometimes he plays the best parts of pieces too soft though.

@organblower Hi! Glad you liked it - it's quite something and I'm beginning to rather lean to the grandeur of the low pitch. The problem with the audio is not the recording but video compression, sadly, for YouTube. But it conveys the impression. Sitting at that console with stops prepared for a Grand Jeu is exciting - if one has not experienced it before, a chord makes one jump off one's seat. No electronic "virtual" instruments can achieve that.

@latribe It is amazing how the A = 392 tuning changes the whole colour of the piece. Marvellous organ too. Unfortunately the recording isn't of the best quality, but I got the feel of it. Thanks for the note.

@organblower Search Bach St Maximin for the D minor played by Pierre Bardon

well seams theres a small hardcore of old bigots, who slag of anyhting thats difrent or any one that strides to make difrence

Its so sad that a combination of religeion and bigotires has to be such a part of life, as i have stated before is things like this that helped to put Steven Bicknell in to a earily grave (google him for those of you that dont know him in the organ world)

[organblower]

Now girls, chill out. Take off the boxing gloves and give it your rating. When/if you can do better, post your video. I would like to see/hear it.

[organman52]

Bock ? How sick.

'Based on circumstantial evidence' - like everything this person represents. And the he pontificates - as if ANYTHING he says is factual - is truly despicable. Furthermore, he will do more harm to the gay community than anyone has done to date. Mark these words.
