Tony,
Again, you are playing my favourite instrument, your Viscount Envoy 35 digital organ. It has such a wonderful 'Church Organ' sound. I had two uncles who were vicars, and they always had an organist playing for their church services. Listening to you reminds me very much of those days.
Most of us who have 'home organs' have very basic pedals that hardly give you much more than an octave, and it's a real pleasure to watch your technique of using 'toe and heel' to play on a full pedal board that comes right under your stool. Having all this as an 'inset' in your video is a brilliant idea!
Most of us who play keyboards just form chords with our left hand, so to see all the notes and harmonies being played 'live' with both hands is quite something. You are very talented! Listening to you playing, there were harmonies I was not expecting. I suppose this is the 'arrangement' you have in the sheet music in front of you.
You put such feeling into your playing too. I did see how you were using your right foot on the Expression Pedal to 'pull all the stops out' as you got towards the end.
So really enjoyed that, as a piece of music .. and glad you didn't just put it up as an MP3!
Hugh
