    So amazing to see such a young and talented organist rising on the international scene. I grew up listening to Virgil Fox and E. Power Biggs, both no longer with us, and it is so amazing and heartening to see such a brilliant young talent rising on the international stage. Comment and complain all you want, but she's VASTLY better than any of us could ever hope to be!

    I grew up in this church, and it’s delightful to hear the organ again. My family had a music store across from the Varsity theater, Swain’s House of Music.
    The youth choirs of the church, especially Carol sings, were an important part of my childhood.

    My god I could watch and listen to this woman play every single day! So much energy and vitality, a real pleasure to see and hear.
    Isn't it strange that most musicians play their instruments facing the audience, but organists play the instrument facing the instrument.
    They are absolutely body and soul at one with all the keys, pedals, stop knobs, levers and the glorious sounds that emanates from these grand instruments.
    Anna, watching and hearing you play is something special indeed and I simply can't get enough of it.
    Please keep the vids coming, we love you....
    Gosh this is amazing!

      Her CV relates the many instruments she learned to play, so she has experience with many orchestral voices when choosing her voicing arrangements of a musical piece. Eventually, she settled on the Harp, which she studied for about 11 years. Then, for some reason she does not detail, her mother asked her if she had ever thought about playing the Organ. And, as they say, the rest is history, leading to a string of "the youngest ever to ...". Currently, her day job is Director of Music at Cambridge University's Pembroke Women's College ... of course, the youngest ever to hold that position, as well as for her two RAH appointments as organist and resident organ scholar.

    Good solid performance of the A Minor with a steady tempo. The acoustics in the Palo Alto Methodist Church are more "live" than heard in this recording. This is a 4/105 instrument, among the largest pipe organs in the San Francisco Bay area.

    • @Dalasplaylist
      @Dalasplaylist  Год назад +3

      I wish I could post the image I took from the program describing the pipes on the instrument. Watch over Anna’s shoulder as she plays higher notes and you can see their action shimmer and dance. It’s captivating to hear, see, and feel all at once.
      I grew up in this church and in the choirs from kindergarten past high school. When the present 1961 sanctuary was built; the old organ was preserved and its console is now in the sanctuary’s balcony. Each console can be operated independently or both at the main console Anna played (but not vice versa).
      “Music at First Methodist” was very popular well into the mid 70s; always with a reception afterwards, Anna no exception. In retrospect, I recall being all aflutter meeting Itzah Perlman with Pinkus Zuckerman (double-bill tour) when none of us ever thought we’d have grey hair.

Streamed to computer speakers is never ideal but makes listening possible. If you don't like it, like her interpretation, don't like the building acoustics, whatever -- just turn it off without the snarky comments.

    Agree it seems rushed in places, but the sound of any organ, particularly a pipe organ in a perfect acoustic setting, just unglued me. Can’t get enough, anywhere, anytime. As for being rushed, Virgil Fox often played as if he had two minutes to live. I have a CD on which he plays so fast and sloppily it’s hard to believe. Sometimes I think he couldn’t resist showing off his incredible technique.

      It was absolutely packed, but the actual attendance was ~540. I know because the FUMC organist, Diane Keller, and I produced this concert. I have no idea where the number 900-1000 came from. The rated capacity of FUMC is 525, and we packed in a few more on chairs.

We all have our favs and for me [and this may not be the best way to listen on small laptop but] this performance needed more pedal. Also in many comments I keep seeing people using the term 'acoustics' however to be correct the room the organ is in has one acoustic! No 's'!

      It is a mashup of the old church organ moved into the present sanctuary, then two years later in 1963 the present organ was installed and the old organ integrated so as to be controllable from the new organ console or played independently.

      @@darkiee69 There are real organs ie with pipes, digital organs with samples, or electronic organs where the sound is generated electronically. I'm surprised to hear that this is a true pipe organ, it sounds like an electronic to me. The sound is dead. And Ms Lapwood seems to be having some kind of problem, it just isn't coming together.
