    I love the fact that this very talented young man took the time to memorize this music.
    Something almost "magical " about playing "a" memory.
    Hats off.

      You'd be surprised how many organists memorize their pieces. I'm a trained organist and I memorize mine too. It helps us give everything in performance

    Wonderful interpretation of this difficult piece. The young master adds his personal touch. I believe Messiaen would approve.

      Messiaen would NOT approve: the organ here is totally unsuited to his music!

    For this intense music to be the traditional piece that mirrors the solo chorister's opening Once in Royal David's City at 9LC could not be more perfect. That Gowers was once himself the chorister at King's to sing the solo as a boy is even wilder. That this is the amongst the better interpretations I've heard of the piece, makes it even wilder! (My only complaint is that the recording quality here is too "clean;" the roar one hears in the chapel is paradoxically better captured by the more live miking of the BBC recordings.)

    Beautifully played, Richard. Appreciate the scuffed organ shoes showing how hard you work on organ performance! Guess many folks would prefer Adeste fidelis as opposed to a virtuoso piece written to announce the coming of Christ!!!! And yes, you do look like you are 12 - 14 years of age but that permits all the more years of marvelous performance for you and your appreciative audiences. Thanks so very much.

    Ohh.... King's College _ORGAN_ .... OK, this is very nice too, just different. After all, the choir occasionally sings _a cappella_ too. So this is just _a cappella_ organ: without the annoying voice instruments accompaniment.
