I am not the biggest fan of the ultra clean pipe sounds like Skinner's and such ( although I am posting a Skinner played recording of Clair de Lune here on RUclips tonight or tomorrow. Hauptwerk really does impress me even though my love for analog electronic organs is disgusted that Hauptwerk dismisses their value as REAL INSTRUMENTS. The absolute ultimate organ would be a real pipe organ with a very well researched introduction of electronic tone generation placed within the pipe chambers. The sound of the Conn Classic model 800 to 821 organ on the album here- Paul Mickelson plays the CONN CLASSIC organ 1950's ELECTRONIC ORGAN blows away the organ in this video. The Conn has so much texture and because of it's instant attack it lends a new element to classical works. Remember, it's only the pipe organ that has a lag in it's onset. The fast attack of electronic organs should not be viewed as a flaw at all. My complaint with Hauptwerk is that they might be a little too stuck in the pipe organ world as it was to hear what it CAN BECOME. As an organist who loves electronic organs I know all too well what feels like to have the great sounds of the past be rejected by this ever changing world, but by simply 'perfecting pipe emulation' this is not taking musics greatest voice where she needs to try to go. Very few seem to understand what I am driving at here, but a good pipe organist who is an audio engineer should be able to understand what tones are being achieved on this Paul Mickelson Conn recording that has yet to be heard or felt on Hauptwerk recordings. If the Conn were perfected on a Hauptwerk platform you just might realize what would could be done to make Hauptwerk less sterile sounding at times.
So, this is a sampled sound, not a real pipe organ (as in there are actual pipes he's playing)? It is a wonderful sound. I also appreciate the split screen to watch his feet.
Very peaceful. Lovely playing, and a really beautiful console with what appear to be some functional tin pipes, too?

If this is "Moonlight," by Debussy, then I'm somewhat in the dark trying to hear it being played by the organist.
It's a separate musical adaptation of Verlaine's poem.
