Congratulations on holding the 50th concert, and many thanks for the wonderful work you do.

I have enjoyed many of these performances over the years you've offered them.

This is an extraordinary service you provide to our Hauptwerk community! In my living room, on my home theater system, almost like being in your organ room personally.

The professional talent you bring us, the thoughtful and challenging programs presented, and the excellent quality of your audio and video recordings is very much appreciated.

I thank you for many hours of my complete enjoyment. The Barbar Adagio is one of my favorites, and this performance was enthralling.

I love the console layout, it reminds me of the Cavaille-Coll St. Sulpice console, but goiing from sample set to sample set might be confusing. It it possible to have two sample sets loaded at the same time on this console so that the Caen and the other sample set are both playable ? How does one distinguish from the stop nomenclature which one's work ?

As unorthodox as touch screens may look, they make switching from sample sets much easier. Still, it's always nice to "pull" stop knobs.

Even on the 3rd of january: A blessed New Year!

It is and remains amazing what insane progress has been made with the virtual organ. Here is an early recording of me playing St. Anne's from Hauptwerk 2. I can still remember how excited I was the evening Martin brought out Hauptwerk 2.
