The perfect marriage of performer and instrument: Nathaniel Gumbs and the Newberry Organ at Woolsey Hall, Yale University! Excellent performance! THANK YOU & BEST WISHES GOING FORWARD!!!
The piece is tough enough on electronic organs, but then on a pipe organ where there is a slight delay between key press and pipe speak... WOW. Well done, sir.
Thank you Nathaniel. I was watching a different video that was good but boring, and decided that William Tell would be more fun. You exceeded my expectations!
Brilliant performance ! Also - it seems orchestral transcriptions are coming back in vogue and builders like Schoenstein are leading the way. I visited here in 1988 for an AIO convention in Hartford, Ct. You wouldn't believe the size of the all mechanical combination machine downstairs with the two 20 HP blowers. The echo organ at the back speaks from a floor opening with a concrete angled reflector to get the sound out. The Great has five 8' Open Diapasons on the same chest. Story goes Skinner wrote Willis and asked, "How wold you mug'em ?" Fascinating instrument.
