"Bohemian Rhapsody" - on 5 organs...
YouTube via organfairy.
Interestingly this one kicks in at :51 as well (see last post).
"...and two synthesizers, two toy keyboards, and a computer soundcard. This is one of the most complicated arrangements I have ever done. Most of the orchestra was pre-recorded as a MIDI file that runs on the computer driving the Roland soundcard, the Yamaha HE-8 and ELKA X-30 organs, and the SIEL DK-80 and Roland JX-8P synthesizers. The parts that I am playing manually is performed on the ELKA EP-8 and X-1000 and Technics SX-C600 organs, the little CASIO SA-1 toy keyboard, and the MT-240 for the gong in the very end. I don't know if Freddie Mercury who wrote it was a genius or a madman. But it is one of the strangest pieces I have ever played.... "

ReplyDeleteI like the Wario outfit he's wearing. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is good, but Lew Williams' version on the the theater organ at Organ Stop Pizza in Phoenix, AZ is amazing!

I highly recommend stopping in if you're anywhere near the place. It's an airplane hangar sized room filled with pipes, pianos, percussion, and pennywhistles (and problably other non-alliterating instruments as well).
