Wonderful performance and fabulous instrument. When the walls and camera shake, you have just enough! And, who doesn't love this Saint-Saens composition?!!!! Would love to see Hector Olivera get turned loose on this organ.

@@johnweddel687 we are so blessed to have such a monster instrument. Over 13,000 pipes now. Spring of 2023 a massive restoration/reconfiguring project involving over 4000 pipes behind the choir loft was completed. I’ve got many more videos please check them out. Gordon Turk has been on the bench for 50 years now. I’m always in awe of his talent. Last year I was just going into the bathroom across the street. I saw the water in the toilet ripple lol. And as far as the camera, that’s all sound effecting it. I’m holding it on a monopod not touching the floor.

Even if the steady grip of who is filming seems envidiable, at 27:48, the camera seems to shake vetically a little... I feel the acoustic blast of the appearing organ moved the entire place as a micro earthquake or something so... Excelent sound, excelent orchest, excellent director... Excelent is the word for this video... Thanks alot for sharing!!!

I love that you caught that! Lol. It most certainly is an earthquake! The organ is now over 13,000 real pipes. The largest is a 32’ diaphone. It certainly rumbles. You feel it through the floor and your seat. Please see my other videos, there are three others from this concert. Please especially see the Boellmann fantasy for organ and orchestra and hold on your socks at the end. The mic picked up so well that you can hear the beater on the diaphone. I really need to locate more to the center of the hall.
