• 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.

Cameron Carpenter's new release Revolutionary

headsup

New member
"Hailed by The New York Times as 'the Maverick organist' Cameron Carpenter is set to turn the organ world (and maybe yours, too) upside down.

Cameron Carpenter's new release Revolutionary is a musical revolution, Telarc style!

“If I had to play the organ like they teach you to play it, like they want you to play it in the conservatory and the church, I[FONT=&quot]’[/FONT]d go mad. I[FONT=&quot]’[/FONT]d take up the electric guitar. Or maybe law,[FONT=&quot]”[/FONT] said Cameron Carpenter last March during a break in recording sessions for Revolutionary, his debut CD/DVD release for Telarc. “The organ is the darkest remnant of classical music[FONT=&quot]’[/FONT]s most arch tradition[FONT=&quot],[/FONT] you don’t see organists creating, really questioning boundaries like you see in dance, hip-hop, film.[FONT=&quot]”[/FONT]
