• Welcome to the Pipe Organ Forum! This is a part of the open community Magle International Music Forums focused on pipe organs (also known as "church organs"), organists, organ music and related topics.

    This forum is intended to be a friendly place where technically advanced organists and beginners (or even non-organists) can feel comfortable having discussions and asking questions. We learn by reading and asking questions, and it is hoped that the beginners (or non-organists) will feel free to ask even the simplest questions, and that the more advanced organists will patiently answer these questions. On the other hand, we encourage complex, technical discussions of technique, music, organ-building, etc. The opinions and observations of a diverse group of people from around the world should prove to be interesting and stimulating to all of us.

    As pipe organ discussions can sometimes become lively, it should be pointed out that this is an open forum. Statements made here are the opinion of the poster, and not necessarily that of the forum itself, its administrator, or its moderators.

We strive to make this a friendly and informative forum for anyone interested in pipe organs and organ music.

Hi CD

Thank you very much for that, I hadn't heard "William Tell" played on one organ let alone four. It was lovely, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Dame Margaret,

You are most welcome. I liked it so much and will now try to get a recording of the Philadelphia Organ Quartet.

Cheers,

CD :):):)

Hi CD, nice video. Do you know of any (romantic) symphony performed that way? I'd love to hear something like this.

That's fascinating Sweet Corn ... I particularly like the eating of the banana in the opening montage ... it added something, and when I think just what ... LOL

Splendid ... what fun that must have been for those guys ... Nice that we can let our hair down (so to speak) and do some fun stuff at concerts, too.

Sadly I'd never be able to participate under your conditions, Krummiest, as my hair went missing when I turned 35 ... I'm still trying to find where!!

Hi Mat,

I don't know of any romantic symphony played by four organists but I do know of an artist named Jelani Eddington who has recorded Rachmaninoff's 2nd Piano Concerto. He recorded the orchestra part and then the piano part and the two were *joined* together. Here's info on the recording:

Cheers,
