Thalben Ball Elegy.. but I'm sight-reading!

We're currently traveling northern Italy and have the wonderful opportunity to visit and record several historic organs in the Bergamo and Milano region. In this video we are playing the organ at Sotto il Monte seminary church, which is a wonderful, modern instrument which has all the fun stops! And.. it is an English organ - in the middle of Italy! It features a completely modernized console, a swell division, lovely solo stops and some powerful reeds. I never would have thought to come across something like this here!

The piece featured in the video is the famous Elegy which was written / improvised by George Thalben-Ball and later transcribed and sold. I hope you'll enjoy this wonderful piece (with a tiny little accident)! I've played this piece years ago and found it again on the organ bench of this organ - so we had to give it a try!

Please let me know if you like this video style and I can show you more "behind the scenes" and traveling footage. It is so much fun to film, so I'd be happy to share more.
