There's only one Cameron Carpenter! What's even better is being present when he plays. He's a fabulous talent with savvy musicianship and an irrepresable sense of humor. That said, I suspect E. Power Biggs would not approve.......But his playing of the standard organ ouevre is as outstanding as this little Leroy Anderson transcription. I waited with bated breadth to see what he'd do for the horse whiny at the end of this number. Never has a convential large church organ been so expanded!
