• 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.

    In order to post a new topic - or reply to existing ones - you may join and become a member by clicking on Register New User. It's completely free and only requires a working email address (in order to confirm your registration - it will never be given away!). We strive to make this a friendly and informative forum for anyone interested in pipe organs and organ music.

One of the 'larger than life' personalities of our time. His talent will be missed by many.

This is shocking news indeed - I have many of his recordings.

To pass on so young, with so much more to give to the music profession is so sad. Age 59 is much to young.

Rest in peace Carlo ... now you and Virgil can entertain all the angels in heaven together.

Methinks that the Angels can show Virgil and Carlo somethings that have never been done before when playing the "Czar of Instruments".

The sort of surprise we could do without. CC was not only a fine and entertaining player, those qualities appeared to inform his very personality as well. I recall one of the first internet organ mailing lists I was on (before forums like this really took off). Carlo was one of the regular contributors, and it got to the stage where I would eagerly look forward to his next post - they were frequently as hilarious as they were informative.

I'm inclined to take the other tack and suggest that that between Carlo and Virgil, they could show the angels a thing or ten! :)

Ave Atque Vale, Carlo.

It was with deep regret I learnt of Carlo's passing. I once met him in Teddington, Middlesex, as he rehearsed for a concert. A warm hearted fellow, He was always so approachable. Rest in peace
