Hmmm ... not sure about that. Piano and organ is not a pleasant combination in my opinion.

I loved their version of Faure's Apres un Reve. I believe the piano/harmonium duo was very popular in the 19th century (when the harmonium was cutting-edge technology!), and was actually used in the original version of this well-known piece ...

It also features in the excellent film "Topsy Turvey" which tells the story of how Gilbert and Sullivan came to write The Mikado. At one point in the film Sullivan's song "The Lost Chord" is performed with piano/harmonium accompaniment.
