Product Description
The first pipe organ recordings of Josh Perschbacher. His first album "Symphonic Fantasy for Organ" as been re-recorded on the 5 Manual 110 rank C. Zimmer pipe organ at St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Atlanta, GA. An album of six incredible transcriptions for organ. Every note in the original orchestral scores has been faithfully duplicated in these arrangements for organ. The organ's greatest forte is its ability to be the most powerful and at times the most delicate sounding of all musical instruments. This album shows off that ability with astonishing boldness. After hearing this album, the listener might forget these pieces were not originally written for the organ. This album is without a doubt a thunderous 'pulling out all the stops' epic.

What a CD! Every track is wonderful, but my fav is the Imperial March. Why wasn't it written for organ in the first place?

This is one of the CD's of organ transcriptions in which the arrangements are as good as the originals (of not better). It's like a realized "what if" the composer wrote these pieces for the organ and found somebody good enough the play them like an orchestra. Indeed the artist, Josh Perschbacher, is presenting himself here as a definitive musician. His musical interpretations are solid, and is use of tone painting with the organ is one of the most stunning things I've heard.
The organ used here seems like a very capable instrument. It sounds as if to be 100+ ranks in a lively acoustical space. The lower registers of the organ are very rich and at the appropriate times the reeds have a definite roaring quality, like a lion behind the pipes. The sound from the upper registers have a distinctive bite to sound; pleasingly right of center between bland and harsh.
There are many CD's of organ transcriptions available on amazon.com. This `Premiere' CD lives up to its name, and puts all others to shame. The product description above identifies this CD as a "thunderous, pulling out all the stops epic." This is a understatement. It's much much more.

This artistry here is very good. The record quality is very poor. There is a lot of background noise that is very distracting. 4 stars for the artistry.
