- This piece is played here by Geoff Olson, organist of St. Paul's United Church of Christ in St. Paul, MN. It is played on the Hauptwerk virtual model of a 2005 Cembalo Mietke harpsichord. The Hauptwerk system is integrated into a 30-rank Wicks/Hunt pipe organ. To listen my organ videos, go to / geoffolson1039 .
Hope you enjoy this piece and thanks for listening.
A beautiful recording! Very well played! I like it very much! Thanks for uploading!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for listening.
Wonderful playing. I hope to one day play as well as you do. Thanks for another fantastic video!
Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for the compliment. Keep practicing.
I would love to learn how to play as beautifully as you Geoff! Watched a few of your other videos and wish you uploaded more! Out of curiosity, if I was to try and replicate your setup what is the core product?
Hello Johnathan. Glad you enjoyed my videos. I have about 200 videos recorded on You Tube at ruclips.net/user/GeoffOlson1039. My style of playing is based on lessons, listening to others, and experience. I have polished my style and gained feedback from 55 years as a church organist. Learn what you can from lessons and listening to others play, but in the end don't be afraid to develop your own style. I have heard a few nationally recognized organists with superb techique, but were boring to listen to. It is not how fast you play, but how well you communicate to the audience. I credit the quality of sound from the combination of a Hautpwerk virtual organ with 30 ranks of pipes. Hauptwerk vastly increases the options for stops and adds a warm tone and reverberation to the pipes. I find that the combination of Hauptwerk and pipes produces a better sound than either Hauptwerk or pipes by themselves. As to recording, you need quality microphones. I use two AT40 Audio-Technica mics. The sound is also enhanced by the 2-3 second reverberation in our sanctuary. Best wishes with your organ playing.
Well done, as usual, Geoff. Is the harpsichord stop part of the virtual organ program?
Glad you liked it Brian. Yes, the harpsichord is one of the instruments installed on the Hauptwerk program.
