🇫🇷 La musicalité sous-jacente pour transcrire cette pièce de musique, et la jouer si bien, est étonnante! Quelle joie incroyable, et quelle richesse, de l'entendre sur un orgue à traction mécanique! M. Laube fait un travail incroyable en choisissant des morceaux de récital qui seront parfaits pour un certain orgue! Et tout cela, sans mentioner sa claire explication des multiples couches de fond de l’histoire de cette musique, compréhensible et agréable tant pour les laïques que pour les professionnels! Bravo, Monsieur ! 🇬🇧 The underlying musicianship to transcribe this piece, and play it so well, is astonishing! What joy and richness to hear it on a mechanical action organ! Monsieur Laube does an incredible job of matching the perfect recital pieces to a particular organ! Not to mention his clear explanation of the manifold layers of background story to the music, understandable and enjoyable for laymen and professionals alike! Bravo, Sir!

Thank you for that concert and historically informed presentation. Nathan I get the impression that you must be quite a teacher... Merci et BRAVO!

[@michaelw6554]

Definitely my favorite organist on one of my favorite organs/acoustic in Washington DC.

[@fulcherpj]

The phrase ‘hats off gentlemen, a genius!’ comes to mind!

[@stthomasmore4811]

A phrase equally applicable to you, Mr. Fulcher, as to Chopin, Liszt and Mr. Laube!

[@Sunnshineforever]

Fantastic pieces played.. oh' the bass's goes so deep in fact i hear and can feel the shaking -vibrations in the Cathedral.

[@tikhonbogomolets2740]

So well executed and polished performance as Sir Nicholas Kynaston played at the Minster in Ingolstadt, Germany! BRAVO!

Wonderful, and your introduction was exceptionally interesting and helpful.

[@astalaceppa2295]

Great Organist .. Where can you find Ad nos ad salutarem undam played by him?

[@stthomasmore4811]

What recording equipment was used to capture this performance? I have never heard a 32' flue so PERFECTLY captured in a recording that at other times also involves fff reeds! Just phenomenal!
