How long since I acted as a conduit for whatever Mark Evanier is linking to today? THAT long? Lucky for us, then, that what he's linking to this time is organist Jonathan Ortloff performing a bang-up Springtime for Hitler on the mighty Wurlitzer! Now you'll appreciate the expression "pulls out all the stops" as he hits all the high points, crosses all the bases, captures all the nuances, and fully exploits the capabilities of the instrument.

Caution: May cause invasion, annexation. Always follow your doctor's orders.

Fun. This is one of my favs: The Planets by Gustav Holst, Peter Sykes, Organist Hearing "Mars" through a good sound system is just, WOW!

Peter Sykes and Victoria Wagner. And yes, the sound is terrific. Their "Planets" is the performance I default to.
