I've never had the opportunity to play a pipe organ like the one above, but I imagine that the delay between input and output must take some getting used to. I could probably simulate it, but bet that it still wouldn't feel the same as moving all that air around. Really interesting and beautiful sound.

I'm curious as to what the pianists here think of her appropriation of such a stalwart of their repertoire as this Rachmaninoff Prelude, but I like it. Sophie-V Cauchefer-Choplin is one of the premier organists of our time, and being able to pull this kind of emotion out of a grand organ is rare.

For some reason ST won't recognize the U-Tube number, so here's a link:

Kris, that Rach sounds great on the organ. She doesn't seem to be the diva Cameron Carpenter is!

Marlow, when I saw Chang play the Mendelssohn they carried a guy out on a stretcher, not sure if it was her magnificent performance or the gown that did him in.

Gary.

There's so many brilliant musicians today and the dressing code has changed. Focused listening is much needed...

^^ Nice! Even the easiest of the Mikrokosmos sound beautiful when played with skill and artistry.

Not that I can do that. They are still fun to plink around.

My friend and I have been playing classical music on cliffs recently. You get some pretty amazing acoustics and some pretty funny looks

Seriously, that made La Femme’s and my day! One of my fave arias and operas,
