I love this piece of music, but never quite liked other arrangements, such as piano, for example. Felix was able to surprise me and to take me to the very same place Barber is able to take us with the strings. This is an unbelievable piece of work, I’m in complete awe. Thank you so much, Mr Hell, for your fine sensibility, that enabled us to have this song echoing in our souls.

.............seit mehreren Jahren verfolge ich seine Karriere........und er wird (kaum zu glauben!) immer noch ein bißchen besser von Jahr zu Jahr! Ohne arrogant zu wirken - ich glaube, daß er momentan der größte Orgel-Virtuose weltweit ist......und wohl auch noch längere Zeit bleiben wird! Meinen Respekt für dieses Ausnahme-Talent!!!

Felix played at the church I work at last year (Memorial Presbyterian Church of St. Augustine, Fl.) and was abslutely phenominal! We have a 5000 plus pipe organ and he made that instrument sing! I talked with him a brief minute and he is a suoer nice young guy. Felix graduated with masters from the Julliard School of Music at age 16 (youngest ever). He is a musical genius in my book.

There is one section as you raised the notes by 4ths and 5ths your playing took to heaven as if The Lord was carrying me there himself.As you came of that you took me from his presence so gentlely it left me gingerly if you could take. Me back and leave me before his presence and singing with the angel hosts forever!

To be honest, I actually clicked on this video just because this guy's last name was so awesome (lnsert lol here) but praised be God and and the majestic heavens in all their glory what an incredible performance this man was able to give; he was able to preserve the unearthly delicacy and vulnerability of the original piece yet adding such ambient and surreal interpretation by the sound of organ. Beautiful, majestic, poetic, transcendent.

Felix is the nearest person we will ever hear to Amadeus Mozart. I heard him live when he was only 16 and her performed Bach's Toccato and Fuge in D major and was utterly fantastic. He made Bach come alive. He is incredible. Definitely a God given natural talent.

The difference is that Mozart was more of a generalist keyboard player. I this guy is more like back on the key board although what the organs today can do and what was available to Back and Mozart are very different . FELIX is a classicist organist. In another of your recordings here l noticed someone was rude in. Critising your comments and qualifications about some criticisms made about Cameron Carpenter. Cameron should tone his style and dress down and his style of playing off the classics do better suited to contemporary music.

Really all depends on the specification of the instrument you are playing. String stops if you have them for the first bit of it, drop the celestes as the piece crescendos, and at the loudest part full principals, flutes, and mixtures (no reeds) with the appropriate super and sub couplers. I will be performing this on a 17 rank organ in a few months and this will be my approach. On a larger instrument though, of course you have more options.
