Kalevi Kiviniemi improvising in Melbourne

[@aaronschmidt4892]

For me, it’s one of his best recorded improvisations! RIP Kalevi Kiviniemi 😢!

[@ClemensZwei]

Rest in peace Kalevi

[@polsterj]

It still makes me unbelieveably mad that I didn't manage to see and hear this organ during my visit in Mebourne. I would even say that this is one of the most exciting instruments in the world.

I've never heard an organ video on KZbin with such perfect sound reverb and quality!! And amazing impro as well :)

[@danielmkubacki]

WOW!

[@samivillatorrevillatorre7532]

Kalevi es un genio su nombre toda la humanidad lo recordara

[@marioribeirodeazevedoneto311]

Este órgão é maravilhoso, que potência. Kalevi se identificou com ele. Fenomenal e parabéns!

[@passacaglia28]

Excellent!

[@TheKingOfAmazement]

2:12 is the best change from gentle flutes to the grand victorian trumpets(aka trompette en chammade)

[@whyhumanityisdoomed]

Amazing instrument, excellent musician and wonderful music. Unfortunately the recording doesn't give justice to the performance. The technician didn't know to keep the volume below a tolerable distortion threshold. @schneckenturm - you a gravely mistaken if you think that any phone cuts the mustard.

[@LeonardoLupieriOrganist]

what’s that massive chamade like reed on the pedal at 6:46?

[@raikaljok]

It is a genuine drum.

Have just checked this myself and several of the older volumes of OrganERA CDs are not shown. I would email Fuga and ask, they speak very fluent English! There may be some lurking in record shops elsewhere on the web...

[@JFSnail]

Sorry, but the Sydney Town hall organ has the 64' Trombone, this organ as an acoustic 64' flue, the 'Gravissima'. There is a link to this organs specification in the video notes on the right hand side...

[@wavejaco]

This is a superb recording! After listening to it a countless number of times already, I have tried to find out if this CD is still somehow available. Unfortunately, Fuga has confirmed that the CD is no longer in production. Can anybody perhaps please point me to where I can get this entire recording - CD or digital?

[@AnOrganCornucopia]

No 64ft on this organ except the resultant Gravissima. The only real 64fts in the world are Sydney Town Hall (Contra Trombone) and Atlantic City Convention Hall (Diaphone-Dulzian).

[@bryangl1]

However, having played the Sydney organ, the 64' rank is a novelty rather than being of great use - and of course there is no fundamental tone.

[@davidmace3716]

The organ in Liverpool Anglican Cathedral has a 64ft Resultant Bass which is an extension of the 32 ft Double Open Wood.

[@TheKingOfAmazement]

This is absolutely amazing, does anyone know where i can get the score

[@eddie100]

The sound of music from my teachers pump organ, while my brother's and I sung! She taught me well. I sung with Elvis at my firstborn's 21st.

[@rowanlidbury]

He's nuts.

[@AnOrganCornucopia]

Non c'è 64 nell'organo ma acustico "Gravissima".

[@schneckenturm]

make a recording yourself - it is no longer a problem with those new digi recorders. greetings

[@raikaljok]

I'm producer of this album and I'll send you a copy for free (but only this time) if you tell me (privately) your mailing address.

[@bryangl1]

Raimo Jokela. I would happily pay for this recording but it no longer appears to be available on the Fuga site. i live in Melbourne but rarely hear he organ like this! Can you advise how I may purchase a copy?

[@jonspark]

Listen to those diaphones!
