SOPP321: The music you’ve created and performed here is deeply profound and moving to me

Let’s start episode 321 of Secrets of Organ Playing Podcast. This question was sent by Heidi and she writes: “Wow! Vidas Pinkevicius, what an Artist you are! Runs in the family, except your media is painting with music, rather than oils. The music you’ve created and performed here is deeply profound and moving to me. At times, I also noticed that it is so far 'above my comprehension' that I feel a bit confused. In no time, however, the music is telling its story again. The birds singing brought so much joy! I actually wondered for a moment if they were live birds. And then there is the Giant. How I loved hearing the giant come tumbling down. Very deliberately, filled with tension and suspense, slow, getting slower as he descended!! Wow, it was so much fun listening to this. Everything about this piece is wonderful, including the Artist - thank you. Oh, and by the way, the fact that the organ is mechanical totally added to the music’s drama. Beautiful performance by the artist, Vidas. Articulation beyond compare. You deserved a vacation after that.. Whew! I love it. Heidi”
