In almost no other organ is registration so vital. All those gobs of sound can either offer clarity to the music or can bury the score in continuo. Kudos to those organists who don't bury it. It isn't a church organ. The Wanamaker is a wonderful instrument and a landmark organ. It's so lovely to hear it, now and then. Thanks to the Friends for making this pro-level recording and offering it up. :)
On my bucket list. What is irritating is that, as a kid, I was in Philly several times and never went and heard it. I would like to hear the one on the boardwalk, as well.
How wonderful to be able to experience these performances here in South Wales. This organ is truly a "musical" instrument. Thank you for sharing this day.

I’m in Oregon and I will certainly travel to hear the fabulous artists and for sure I see shopping at Macy’sa new reason to support The Wanamaker
The profoundly wide spectrum of unique musical sounds this organ creates make it one of my favs!
Gotta say that Lion King finale transcribes so well to Organ. My favorite piece out of the whole concert.
proud to be part of this city. I've heard this played often. A beautiful legacy.
How lovely to be afforded the opportunity to hear this magnificent instrument played by true masters.
That organ LOVES the first player.
Splendid performances thanks so much for posting! Especially great to see the young organists performing in concert on the Grand Court organ.
Thank You so much for this wonderful recital on this most Glorious King of Instruments
Wonderful variety. I really enjoyed seeing who all is playing the Wanamaker these days!

Thank you for posting this! I was at Wanamaker Organ Day. That was a fun time.
I must say that the use of the bells in the pedals was apropos of Vierne!

So awesome!
Very nice
Minute 57:55 the moment when Dr. Floyd play God Creation of Humanity and explained us the creation of a life
Brasil - muito bom e bonito, mas seria bom se aqui tivesse esse instrumento porque ele não é muito conhecido
Honey... GREAT
