This is just stunning! What an arrangement!...schmaltzy to the max, and I'm lovin' every minute of it! I am familiar with...and have played...the Aeolian Duo-Art organ at the historic home of Paul Watkins in Winona, Minnesota. (The second generation of the J.R. Watkins Company.) It has been a nursing home for many, many years already, but much of the historic details and beauty/charm have been kept intact. When I was in grade school back in the 1970s, my organ teacher took all of her students on an "organ crawl." This was one of the instruments we visited. At the time, Gladys Watkins herself (one of the daughters?)...demonstrated the organ rolls and Duo-Art mechanism. She was the only person they allowed to use the player mechanism. The Steinway piano was also connected and could be seen playing simultaneously. What wonderful memories!

sehr schöne romantisch verklärte Orgelmusik zur Weihnachtszeit. Immer wieder gerne zuhören. Von dieser Art der Musik würde ich mehr wünschen.

Absolutely beautiful!

Best version ever !

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful! Thank you very much for sharing!

Thank you for preserving this marvelous instrument!

Wonderful! We have Archer Gibson's organ, Opus 1419 here at Saint Mary's Seminary in Baltimore! :-)

GREAT! Loved the Jesse Crawford style closing!

absolutely Beautiful..

Cantique de Noel aka "O Holy Night" ;-D

Wow!

THE BEST. LOVE THIS VIDEO. BEAUTIFULLY FILMED/TAPED.

Superb!!!

I just saw your "choir upper holes" coupler - boy would that come in handy on Op. 1464 for the 116 note rolls!

So much better than when we did it! We butchered ours.

Fantastic! How many of these instruments exist, and where are they located? There were two in Indianapolis. One in a doctor's home, and another in Park Tudor School. I think both moved on.

Gorgeous sounding organ. At the risk of being pedantic, that 4th octave on one of the instruments sounds slightly off. Beautifully recorded, though.

Does the roll begin as on this video?

Ehhh. The timing is REALLY off and random.
