      Since the midforties last century whe have lot guests from foreign countries in germany. The eastern part lerns russian after that, but all other kids in school lern english. Most strange oxfordaccent at the beginning, but later students explore, that there is more than the lift, the elevator. And you havn't rent a flat, if you can get an apartment. First I want to make jokes about her accent, but this Sarah is a US-born british Hornplayerin and wie ich lese, sie ist seit 1991 in Berlin at the Staatskapelle.

    Whether you are a CC fan or not....I really give him kudos for having the kids up there and introducing them to the organ and music. When I perform I always do the same thing...bring some kids up on stage and let them play some notes for the audience. I hope that the brief experience will ignite a spark of curiousity and maybe get another child to consider playing an instrument. I know in my case that is exactly how I was introduced to music 59 years ago.

    He actually seems like a normal and dare I say it likable person in this - even kind of funny too. It almost makes me think that promotional trailer for his album was a parody - if it is, it's actually a work of genius.
    His playing is strange though - very messy. I don't know if that's "by intention", or if it's just a hard instrument to play fast. I'd be interested to see him play a piano or keyboard.

    • @RealRaynedance
      @RealRaynedance 8 лет назад +14

      +Chris Plumb It's his way of playing. There's a video where he explains some stuff about how digital organs are going to be the way to go (especially for performers) and he actually plays a piano in that. Not exactly any different.

    He brings to mind the wonderful show pianist Liberace. Cameron in my humble opinion is a truly great organist but has sadly fallen into the commercial trap of pleasing the masses. Lang Lang of the piano world springs to mind.
    Now with both I feel if they bring more people to the world of organ or piano then this is a jolly good thing indeed. People like me who are purists should shut up and simply hope that those brought to the organ or piano may begin to learn and appreciate the truly great players of these king of instruments. Although my toes curl while listening to Cameron I have to bare in mind that many people who would not normally listen to such music are indeed enjoying his skills.
    Pray hope they begin to understand why I do not think he is really that good. Learn more about what he is doing and please go to concerts of deeply respected performers.
    Thank you Cameron for bringing this music to a wider audience.

    My first sentence was supposed to mean that classical/organ isn't the only high form of music. There is heaps of high quality modern composing, just as there is heaps of high quality classical.

    you should NEVER allow someone behind the scenes while playing, esp. at or near full volume!( just like a belfry- place in church tower where the bells are hung); the volume can exceed tolerable or safe levels and even make someones ears bleed!!, esp. if the volume shutters are partly open (or shut) as the place the presenter is in, is from other organ videos, a sound proof box! and this can reverb/ echo sound waves, and cause damage.

      Reed pipes are hyper-sensitive to dust & dirt and a single speck under the tongue is enough to silence the pipe... Water vapour and CO2 from human breath causes the brass tongue and shallot to go green and oxidize... Leading to speech problems and unreliability. Blowing a reed pipe by mouth was a sackable offense in my day!

    I agree with the comments that he plays too fast. I listened to some Virgil Fox as well and the same comment was made about him. Diane Bish played the national anthem in 1:49, when Virgil played it in 1:09. I liked Diane's version much better. However, we all have our own styles when it comes to music and I certainly cannot play like any of these folks.

    I'm not saying he isn't good, but it sounds rushed, often times off-tempo, and sometimes even out of tune (hitting the wrong notes, probably because he's rushing). Dunno if anyone else here has seen that atrocious promotional vid of his...I expected more of a prodigy with that amount of conceit, although he did seem to be a lot more amicable here.

      It’s his style of playing. Pianists can never be out of tune.

      @fuckoff his music sounds like your name xD it's the defiance of every rule in the book, that set bach free. He takes it a step further and plays a big fk you melody to all people who still like the organ. Getta fokkaaaaaada heeyh. Old farts of glorious nebulous clouds of stars and colors the kind so bright your nose does not even register the scent.

      I've seen Cameron live and had the pleasure of meeting him. He is absolutely a genius when it comes to playing the organ. He is a very grateful and humble man. He sounds fantastic live. Cameron has his own touring organ that he overall designed himself along with Marshall and Ogletree organ makers. I say give him a chance because this video is only a small fraction of Cameron's abilities and talents.
