Hi,
That first fellow's link was a nice thing to click on after just finishing our Rosary! I was looking for something to soothe my brain a bit more, and that was it.
Thanks both of you, for posting links.
I will listen to the other link for the other organist tomorrow :-) Something to look forward to.
I have known 3 or 4 very talented pipe organists, each with their own unique style, etc. I admire the skill and knowledge it takes to play such an instrument and laugh at the amount of timing and coordination it takes to master this. They all must have started young I would bet. Oh if only I had such an opportunity for music lessons!
The first fellow is playing very nicely, and this is a beautiful piece. I cannot stand when there is extensive "pounding" going on, or just as bad, when an organist drags out the very last note of a piece for 5 minutes at the end while in full "fog-horn" mode!
No offense to any Scottish or bagpipe fans but such notes remind me of certain bagpipe notes. (That to me is one instrument that can hurt my ears).
It's totally amazing how instruments are made though. There was a video I came across awhile ago of how the inner workings of a piano work and how the notes are made. What a complicated and precise bit of engineering!
People have tried to bring out digital this, and digital that, but still, nothing compares to the sound produced from authentic instruments in places with amazing acoustics like large churches and cathedrals!
