Wonderful performance! Nice listerning to this with headphones to hear detail.
Love Reger on organs with clear, shiny stops in live acoustics.
And great videography showing views just at the correct moments.
Thank you, stop pullers, for fine work.
Thank you, REV.

Wow, this is fantastic! I’m using my Outlaw Audio miniature transmitter to get this from my laptop into my main music system, and it sounds great! Thanks for uploading it, particularly in the better sound.

Fantastisch mooie muziek op een eminent orgel, gespeeld door een groot musicus.
Hier kan ik niet vaak genoeg naar luisteren kijken.
Hartelijk dank voor het plaatsen.
En Jos, (oud wijkgenoot van me), tot ziens en veel succes!

You can hear that it is Reger music. That technique he is famous for.

Jazeker kennen Jos en ik elkaar geweldige tijd gehad op het conservatorium bij geweldige leraren. Voor orgel was Piet Kee grote klasse. Groot pedagoog, toegewijd ook, streng edoch rechtvaardig. Je leerde er foutloos spelen dat scheelt nu bij het opnemen natuurlijk.)
