Maestro Hector Olivera performs Johan Sebastian Bach’s “Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor” on the Allen Quantum/Custom Q476 during his concert at Allen Organs’ Octave Hall.
Love this! He added so much personal detail. Those extra phrases in the fugue part, the twist to the quiet part, the green plush toy next to the manuals, the expressions on his face, the cheering at the ending, etc :)) Also plenty of power at the finale part, very enjoyable.
Such joy being expressed by the Maestro. Wonderful registrations and use of voices. I've seen Hector live in concert and he is a joy to see and hear!!!
He starts out with only a 2' flute on the pedal. As one who is accustomed to prinzipals and a veiled reed in the opening phrase, I find this quite interesting, as well as the myriad of registration changes throughout the music. My compliments for an astonishing rendition! Bravo!
Qué maravilla escuchar a Héctor Olivera con la Passacaglia y Fuga en Do menor!!! Tan rico el juego de las registraciones, el pulso tan preciso, el clima tan logrado! Felicitaciones, Maestro.
The only thing that disturbs me is that this is an electronic organ, I'm so adapted to real pipesound. His vision of "coloring" and phrasing is very pleasing and therefore I love it.
Robert, you can find all the information you wish to review at this link www.allenorgan.com/www/products/l463/l463.html There are tabs near the center of the page and one is the Audio System. Hector is playing on the former Quantum Q476, now it's our Bravura L-463.
Wow! Brovo! What a great organ piece! I would recommend using a much lower stop for the pedal for the beginning. I also REALLY enjoyed at the 12:30 how hard the camera was shaking from the intensity of the piece! I thought it was going to fall of the tripod!!
we have to give a lot of credit to the frog assissting Hector
I have never heard a version so original and interesting such as this before

This guy's great and I love his spirit.
Hector's joys at the end - a great feeling, if you've ever had it you would know how he felt. Awesome!
Thanks! It's my daily Mantra! The liveliest performance ever!
This is amazing. Executed with such vitality and spirit. And that passage from 05:34 to 06:17 is out of this world.
Five stars. Bravo! Hector is the Master.
A wonderful organist. A true artist.

WOW. Stunning performance, brilliant organ! I particularly liked the interpretation. Quite invigorating and majestic.
Blown away, again. Excellent as always.

Superb! Congratulations Maestro Hector Olivera! That was a tour de force!
I was so moved by this performance. Thank you so much.
8:15 lol how the camera shakes with the intensity of the finale (of the 1st part) hahah!
A remarkable performance..!

Wonderful playing and technique. Beautiful registration and colouring. I wish I could play Bach like this!
LOVE!
UNBELEIVABLE!!! BRAVO!!
Love it!
That was... Unusual... that was beautiful
Allen organs are the best, but Maestro Hector Olivera really brings out the excellence of these well designed organs.
Excellent!!!

thank you very much.
Divine!
Well that was impressive!
Excellent use of registration!
That ending was epic, my favourite organist
well done sir
First version I have heard in years with the kind of brio Virgil Fox used to bring to this magnificent, cosmic music.
The only thing that disturbs me is that this is an electronic organ, I'm so adapted to real pipesound. His vision of "coloring" and phrasing is very pleasing and therefore I love it.
Que colorido!! Assim não fica enfadonho de ouvir!!
surprisingly good sound indeed! He seems to have made his own cadenza to Bach's famous work....
Is there a more fabulous performer than that? NO.
I wonder what the audio specs are for this instrument?
