  • Organ Orgy...



    Gentlemen, here's the piece that got me into organ transcriptions so many years ago:http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=r9QIEvARo1M&fmt=18 



    Cheers,

        I've performed that "Valkyries" transcription,but withtwo people. [:)]




        The "Organ Orgy" album is one of the great recordings - it is too bad it has not been reissued on CD.

          My organ prof had an old LP of that recording. Just spectacular. In the "Ride" when the pedals (with the State Trumpets coupled?) enter, it's total organ nirvana.

            I have been cross with Anthony Newmanover a number of things (quirky Bach interpretations, fast tempi) butmust hand it to him for the Organ Orgy album; it was a revelation to me when it first came out - such brilliant playing of such difficult material!




            It was also my first encounter with the wonderful organ at St. John the Divine.




            It seemed so incongruous forAnthony Newmanto release an album of Wagner transcriptions, but it was a success; the albumhas becomealegend over the years, evidenced by the fact thatwe are discussing it today.




            Also notable:it was releasedyears before transcription playing became popular again.

                Hey Jason and Forum,



                Every track on that old LP is fabulous.  Newman's rendition of the *Parsifal Overture* is so achingly beautiful.  He uses the Cello 8' and Cello Celeste 8' in the Solo division to such marvelous effect.



                I reached Shangri-La when hearing it for the first time.



                Maybe we can all contact our colleagues the world over and together push Sony into releasing that recording on CD.



                OT - Hi Mr. Casteel, can you be persuaded to play the part of C.S. Lewis in a movie? You have that Philosopher's look about you...



                Yep, stussenefan(oops-Stefanussen) is a definite stunt-double for Val Kilmer - Congrats there young fella < 8 - D
