What are you listening to now?

I could tell you the same: "Pounds the table, just love that piece".

I listened to it 5 times in a row, just adored it!

Now, more IAEM! Strong recommendation from Karlo:

Beautiful piece!

[Lisztianwagner]

I listened to it 5 times in a row, just adored it!

I can share the feeling, I listened to it more than once too; too beautiful and powerfully! I think the energy and the haunting atmospheres of Griffes' work superbly depict Coleridge's poem.

Very, very easy on the ears. What a pity^* the Germans killed him.

Paraphrased from the liner notes: "You have to earn these instruments. The tempi are dictated by how heavy the touch of the keyboards is, and how unpredictable the wind supply. The difficulty these instruments pose in playing them turns out to be a splendid lesson; a fount of wisdom and joy at having mastered such an instrument with so enchanting a sound."

Dirt cheap from Krautmazon, I simply had to add my umpteenth Bach Organ cycle.

Cheers! My ears have always been kindly disposed to Haydn, you might say. I was in junior high school when we played a band transcription of the accompaniment to the trumpet concerto. That piece, while obviously from another time, impressed me mightily with its freshness, its affability, its immediacy. The Haus here at GMG has been a great help to me in navigating the sea of "Papa's" œuvre.

So that's not this one, right, Jens?

So that's not this one, right, Jens?

Correct: They are different. The one you show was performed on the Schwenkedel organ in Saint-Donat-sur-l'Herbasse (1950), the Mariastein Burger-Metzler organ (1836/1978), and the Kolding Marcussen organ (1977).
