Why Perfect Organ Playing Can Still Be Boring (SOPP792)

<p>In this episode, we dive into the fascinating topic of what makes an organ performance truly memorable. Have you ever attended a concert that was technically flawless but left you feeling cold? Or perhaps one with a few mistakes that stayed with you for decades? We share our personal experiences—from the moving performances of Professor Leopoldas Digrys to the &quot;gray and dull&quot; recitals that technically had nothing wrong with them. We discuss the importance of artistic &quot;spark,&quot; registration choices, the energy of live performances, and knowing when it&#39;s better to cancel a recital than to deliver a &quot;sloppy&quot; job. Join us as we explore the balance between technical perfection and artistic soul in organ playing.</p>
