This man was a genius, a virtuoso, and a gentleman, an uncommon combination indeed.

What a wonderful introduction to the organ. This man is so eloquent and expresses himself clearly. I like the way he describes the stops as individual colours which are used on a canvass.

Was shocked to just hear of Carlos passing. I loved his style. I have 4 of his CDs. I enjoyed learning more about the organ and playing from this video.

Bravo Carlo! I had the pleasure of seeing Carlo in concert a year ago. He sounds so much like his teacher (Virgil Fox) too. Keep on playing, Carlo!

You played in a duel between an Allen Computer Organ and the Royal Festival Hall Organ a few years ago. 10 Years ago I was on holiday in Bude, England and the Allen Computer Organ has been restored by Allen himself and is in a large house there. It was a privalige to hear the owner play the organ and he offered me a play, I was so in awe of the organ I couldnt play a note.

This is a wonderful introduction to the organ: many people who ask me about the organ I direct to this video (and its companion); the explanations, about the stops in particular, are excellent. He explains it much better than I could. Could Carlo post some videos of the Trois Chorals?

Well, it isn't quite true that "no one is playing the organ any more." I have been an organist for forty years. Most of the schools of music with organ departments are full. It IS true that there is a shortage of good well-paying jobs, but this is because smaller churches choose to spend their money elsewhere. Sure, in small churches the congregation can be led very well from a piano, but once a certain size is reached, an amplified piano won't do. The room demands an organ.

hahah! you got humor carlo! "you can hear it overblowing, slightly" like there are several degrees of overblowing, whereas a healthy pipe is overblowing, or it isn't, as in digital: 1s and 0s, on or off. i know you mean 'you can slightly hear it', but it sounded just too funny! luv ya, aida.

I've always wanted to see a pipe organ up close. Isn't there a pizza place called Pizza and Pipes?

No kidding. but I've seen more bands being assembled. The choir loft at the church I use to play at has amps, drum sets and guitars gallor. You can't move around up there without tripping over some mic or amp cable, bumping into something...what a mess.

I heard he started playing in his socks because he had a case of gout in his foot and shoes hurt his swollen toe.

Did Carlo ever Practice? Has anyone seen Carlo Practice , Or memorize sheet music. Has anyone seen Carlo, study sheet music? . I suspect he did neither because his fingers from the top joint to the tip could flex backwards . Not really could. It wasn't a forced flexing it was a natural lay back. The flexibility of his top joint and his ability to preform without practice or study is a kinetic relationship where the two abilities complemented each other
