I'm so proud of Cameron. He built the digital organ to do just this. Bring the grandeur of the organ to those who could not travel to a venue to hear it. He brought the organ to them. I was there at Lincoln Center when the first digital organ debuted. You're doing Bach's work.
I loved his comment his comment (I'm paraphrasing) that the reason he wanted to play Bach in these mobile concerts was, since with only 20-30 minutes or so to perform in each location, he could cram a lot of quality into such a short time. My emotional takeaway is that I can barely hold back tears because of the beauty of the music coupled with such a difficult time for the world.
I know that Cameron is a divisive figure for some organ enthusiasts, a bit like Nigel Kennedy, but I am struck by not only his talent, but his thoughtfulness and compassion. I hope, after coronavirus is only a memory, that he may continue to shine a light in people's lives.
Thank you for doing this-- what a novel and great idea! Thank you promoting and sharing the Organ- it's SO NEEDED TODAY, lastly thank you for your sharing your talent and musicianship, to so many diverse audience's. God bless you!
Cameron is the most kick A-- pipe organist I've ever heard. And add to that the concerts from the truck-magnificent. I heard him at UCLA a few years ago-a most memorable concert. His electronic organ was so accurate-the giant pipe organ in Royce Hall was just about a duplicate sound (albeit a bit sweeter sound-you can't beat the real pipe organ). My hat is off saluting Cameron!
TO ME I FINALLY CAME TO THE REALIZATION THAT THIS WHOLE ORGAN CONCERT SERIES, IS A WONDERFUL CONCERT FOR THE ELDERLY PEOPLE OF BERLIN. ONE MUST LISTEN TO THIS MUSIC AS "THE GLASS IS HALF EMPTY, OR THE GLASS IS HALF FULL" TAKE WHAT YOU WILL.
Thank you Cameron for taking time and huge effort to brighten the life of so many... I always marvel at your talents and definitely enjoy listening!! Blessings to you. 🙏
Thank you, Cameron. It so good to hear and see you again. Have you played the “Hazel” organ at the Catholic Cathedral in garden Grove, CA? I would love to hear you on that organ and I am eager to hear the organ in Notre Dame de Paris once its rehabilitation is complete.
Mein Favorit an der Orgel schon seit langem. Ein wunderbarer Künstler und Mensch. Danke für die immer wieder schönen und Außergewöhnlichen Hörerlebnisse. Vielleicht schaffe ich es einmal bei einem Livekonzert dabei zu sein.
Yes, as you suspected, I have a crush on Cameron...for years. Retired now and can say how I feel. There, I said it. But we're in this horrible Covid situation, and Cameron has resources, and he steps up to the g-damn plate, and takes the creative initiative to direct his talents to provide solace and comfort to the people most stricken by this horrible pandemic. He got those people OUTSIDE. Now that is a REAL MAN! Helping people who are the cast-off's and burdens of society. Uh...a Good Samaritan tending to the "least of my brethren." Damn Cameron, you knocked my socks off again. Ima send you a bill! {American English translations. Stepping up to the plate. baseball, step up to the bat.. bravely confronting a difficult situation. Knocked my socks off ...totally surprised and amazed me. "Ima" truncation for "I am going to."}
bravo! c'est vraiment bien d'apporter pour tous la musique dans la rue, la modernité de votre jeu tout en transmettant cet héritage musical tellement riche des siècles passés. Bravo pour votre talent, votre virtuosité, votre créativité dans vos adaptations d'orchestre à orgue, le choix des jeux...
I would love to see Cameron and Jordan Rudess collaborate on an album. The problem is Cameron is too arrogant to work with anyone. I consider these two to be the greatest keyboardists on the planet right now.
😂 Jordan Rudess puts an arrogant one-trick pony to shame. How do you feel about Robert Glasper or Cory Henry? Way different style than Rudess but absolute killers nonetheless
Drop the two of them on a desserted island with no spoons. Correction, a deserted island and only one months supply of food. Give each of them half of a canoe split down the middle. To escape they must collaborate and find a solution to repair the boat using only resources found on the island.
@@zackparsons3937 So am I. I'm personally impressed with this Viscount-based organ that he played on. Especially the one with their physical modelling tech known as "Physis". It's just incredible how close it sounds compared to a real-life pipe organ due to the nature of the Physis tech. Have you ever heard of physical modelling before by any chance? I know of it, though I'm curious to see if you also know about it or not.
@@JonnyMusicOrganist I'm a fan of good digital organs and not at all a pipe snob, so that is the preface for the following: A lot of such descriptions are more 'marketing smoke' than anything else. Good digital sound relies on good samples, a good amount of audio channels for playback, and high quality amplifiers and speakers. Also good voicing. Those are the basics of digital quality - a lot of the terminology beyond that in my opinion is 'fluff'.
Diese Orgel der Firma Kisselbach "Gloria Concerto 350 trend DLX" basiert auf der Viscount-Physis-Klangtechnik, die ein außerordentlich authentisches Orgel-Klangbild reproduziert! Individuelle Intonationen und Dispositionen sind möglich! Ich besitze selbst eine Orgel mit dieser Technik und bin hochzufrieden (s. meinen YT-Kanal)! Von Viscount wird die von Cameron Carpenter grandios gespielte Orgel außerhalb Deutschlands unter der Bezeichnung "Sonus 60" angeboten!
Naja, klingt halt sehr orgelbewegt neobarok. Ist bei den Echten ja auch ein Unterschied ob man in der Laurenzkirche oder im Berliner Dom spielt. Und Cameron Carpenter mag am liebsten Akustik, die keine ist. Also gegen Null, damit man jedes noch so kurze Tönchen hört. Klingt so, als wenn man in einer echten Orgel ins Gehäuse klettert. Ob das allerdings der optimale Hörort ist, wage ich zu bezweifeln. Akustik bzw der Raum gehört zur Orgel einfach dazu.
