A man who truly loves his organ meat! The Dupre is quite fun played back at 1.25x speed! :3

[@shipsbells]

Listened to three performances so far, was this an organ competition or a theater organ competition?

[@stephenregan5688]

This is classical organ literature

[@chrismusix5669]

@@stephenregan5688 Well, kind of. "Overture to Ruslan and Ludmilla" isn't so well known as organ literature :P

@@stephenregan5688 Whatever classification the original music is, this young fellow is showing what an organ can really do. He is doing it better than most stodgy traditionalists would like. To bad boys. Open the windows and let this breath of fresh air come through.

@@organbuilder272 I was only clarifying that the competition was not a theater organ competition. Nothing more. I like his playing and subscribe to his channel.

@@stephenregan5688 Hi Steven: This organ is a sort of romantic instrument. He comments on this in a Canadian interview. This boy makes this organ into an instrument that does everything for any piece of music. That Bald Mountain performance is nothing short of superb. Even uses the drums. Amazing. They don't make organists like this any more. Swann was the last of the old guard who could do this. Take care Steven. I wasn't jabbing at you. Just reflecting on how most of the conservatives will react to this.
