It is a pity that all the recordings of this organ on Youtube seem to be in mono so the sound quality is dramatically reduced.

If you have not heard this instrument in person, do get to San Diego to hear it sometime. An amazing achievement, placing an instrument outdoors like this and having it sound so good. The instrument itself is very versatile...I have heard many different types or music played on it, and it can handle anything. The trip inside the organ after the concert is alone reason to go.

This is the best playing on this organ I've ever heard!
-
John Scott is an awesome musician. Maybe it's the organ or the recording or both...this sounds like trite crap. And I love this tuba tune.

Whomever played this piece has little to no talent

With 9 seconds of reverbation, in order to play the piece while keeping it as crisp as you can, you have to forget about playing anything close to legato and of course play the piece alot slower.

I used to go to the organ recitals regularly when I lived in San Diego. I always enjoyed it but I was never blown away. Then I went to a special performance by a visiting organist (too many years under the bridge to remember who it was :-( ). The man made the organ come alive. I concluded that it's really a fine organ but needs the right player.

@inyobill I heard Paul Jacobs a few years ago. He played a memorized program (but not the one exactly in his program). He played Bach with enthusiasm like Virgil Fox would have and the audience loved it. Most of the programs are good but not exactly exciting. (like most organ recitals)

Lyle Blackinton is the white haired man turning pages. He is the organ curator and has been maintaining the organ for years. If you go to the Sunday 2pm concerts, you can see inside the organ chambers afterward.

I agree. She has brought style and class to her job as civic organist. She surrounds herself with the finest world-class organists and she is supported by the Spreckles Organ Society which raises money to keep this incredible organ going from year to year.
