probably because it takes an organist of immense expertise to perform this.

@56Packman Hahahah! i find it so funny that you say that. I agree. SO MUCH BETTER than Saint Saens #3 (i think.)

There's way more organ in this, too!

Amazing performance by Fleckenstein! These stepped, Cavaille-Coll-style consoles are becoming popular on new instruments. I have always liked the design. Who built this organ?

[sixpetes88]

Absolutely incredible. What a blessed gift. No sheet music…just pure passion through and through. This made my week! Please post more concerts featuring from Paul Fleckenstein!

[solarfleck]

Yes - this is great! I live in California and assumed Paul would get hired by Spreckles Pavilion in San Diego and I could go see his weekly concerts. Any concerts you get a chance to post would be appreciated.

Why don't orchestras everywhere program this piece instead of the Saint Saens #3. This is at least interesting.

This organist seems to be having the time of his life... bravo on such an excellent redition of the Jongen!

[DesireeDeFete]
