These guys have their hands (and feet) full. Some even need a team to pull knobs. The foot action is entertaining. To say this is like patting your head and rubbing your tummy is putting it mildly. I wouldn't know where to start.






2 notable examples. Thought you'd enjoy these:

WAGNER - RIDE OF THE VALKYRIES - PIPE ORGAN SOLO

J.S. Bach -Toccata & Fugue in D-minor Bach was a stud!

Both pieces are enormous, robust, intimidating, and evocative.

Most excellent. Thanks for posting.

Ten years ago thereabouts I visited a few churches in Memphis that I knew had pipe organs. Christ United Methodist had the most skilled organist(a music professor from Rhodes). The best/most impressive organ is at Bartlett UMC.

Magnificent things. I love 'em.
