Max Takano 'Pomp & Circumstance' Yamaha Electone ELX-1m 

As a young teen, I happened to catch Max Takano perform in Manila, Philippines a couple of times and he was some kind of a superhero for me back then. I woke up this morning thinking how I didn't continue playing the organ (it fell out of fashion in my country) when I entered my 20's -- and recalled the pieces I used to play (most of them inspired by Max's performances). It's wonderful to discover that his videos (and his legacy) live on on RU-vid!

Max played my HX1 in Australia in the late 80s, nice guy ! Very talented. I’ve still got the HX1

That ... Was ... Everything! We have all graduated everything aeternus, aeternus, aeternus!!!

Rarely do I watch a whole RU-vid video right through, needless to say I did on this one. Truly exceptional

Takano is absolutely a world class player & music composer. An excellent class of his own!

I love that song, and this version is great. It's fun to listen and to watch.

A memorable performance. Expertly orchestrated and programmed. Superb!

Fantastic, this must be one of the best performance vidios on You Tube, so much skill, love it.

Breathtaking!

Fabulous!

Thery beautiful! 🙂👍

I kinda prefer this version of Pomp and Circumstance on the ELX-1 better than the ones he did on the ELS-02C. Truly awesome either way.

Absolute Organist Genius! :)

旧バージョンの威風堂々、初めて聞きました。 классно!

Mala you don't know much about electone instruments I take it ? The drums are all sequenced. The registration changes are all programmed. Apart from the sequence drums he's playing all the orchestral voices and bass pedals. The timpani can also be heard on the bass pedal .

Just interesed, is he teaching electone?

i cant find his funny choir video

Fabulous!
