The so-called reform movement has been responsible for some truly awful sounding organs. There's a 1980 'neo baroque' organ near me that just screams. It's a pain in the ears after a short while. Father Willis had it right.
Well spoken, Anna! 👍👍👍
I am speechless. A truly wonderful performance by one of my favourite Organists. Lovely registrations too.
Truly wonderful. Many thanks Peter from Oxford.
Csodálatos!!💞🎹💞🎹💞🎹
Magnificent ❤
NICE MUSIC GOOD MEMORIES
Wonderful performance and well phrased.
Wonderful Stuff!!!!! Go Richard!!! :)
Wow 😮
Incredible performance!
So nicely played!
This is rather brilliant, in all senses of brilliant.
Excellent, Carolyn. Who maintains and protects the organ from vandalism, theft of pipes, etc? Peter A
Amazing sound from a small organ. Well played & have subscribed. How old is this organ, how long has it been at the Station & what was the idea behind it?
Although it may be an edition late to say it by one year, I very much enjoyed this 2022 installment of The Organ Show, and my first exposure to many of these new bits of repertoire was wonderful to hear. Thank you for the great programs you put together for us organists, they are always sublime to watch!
Very well!
BRILLIANT!
Gorgeous!

Terrific piece, and well played BRAVO!!!!

Fantastic
A very interesting and musical show. Thankyou for it.
Love this
Oliver Wallace, composer, organist and eventually music director for Walt Disney was the first person to use a pipe organ to accompany a silent movie. Jessie Crawford learned his organ technique by observing Wallace when both were playing in Tacoma Washington at competing theatres.
While I've never been a fan of cinema organ music and its style, I am in total awe of the organists who have mastered it. I see a comparison with the church organist conjuring up registrations to match the verses of the psalms, as well as the improvisations they have to provide during the liturgy, and the cinema organist when he had to improvise "on the hoof" everything that he saw on the screen and provide suitable accompaniment! Both require amazing musicality and skill. I applaud every musician who can improvise - sadly a gift I don't have!
i did love to also watch and listen to that 1812 crime 👏👏👏
very interesting, amusing and educational entertainment 😉 🙏 👏 🇳🇱
Good to see Martin Baker
A fantastic and inspiring week has come to an end. Great work - again THANK YOU all! What an honour to have been a small part of it! Good Night from Schlägl Abbey/Austria.
Ronny Krippner's improvisation on The Wellerman sea shanty on Friday evening was brilliant. Let's see / hear more of him!
Thank you for playing the beautiful organ. I would like to listen to it from time to time.
Glenn McQuire, Past Organist Onward Lodge Fleetwood
Is that Fleetwood in Lancashire?
Again a very inspiring and interesting evening! Thanks lot!
Glad you enjoyed it
Splendid programme - I know both Richard Hills and Phil Kelsall and did all the tuning in Glasgow's Pollokshaws Burgh Hall for many years.
Unfortunately, Tansy's microphone didn't work so everything she said was lost. As a choral musician, I was most interested in her comments and regret I could hear them.
We're really sorry about the microphone issue in Tansy's interview. We re-recorded it after the show and will replay it in a forthcoming programme.
Congratulations from Austria!
