Can't imagine what this instrument will sound like when complete with all 449 ranks playing. Holy crap! I just got the latest CD from the HORC. Fantastic recording. Can't wait for the next CD release. Cheers.

I may be a year late, but none-the-less enjoyed every moment. Well done everyone.

These concerts are simply the best! Such a joy to those of us who live far away but love the boardwalk hall organ. It's so incredible to hear how fine and polished it is sounding compared to when I heard it many years ago. It brings tears to my eyes to see those silent chambers roaring back to life and reveling the musical treasures that have been hidden from us, both subtle and grandiose.

LOVE LOVE LOVED this Amazing performance! Excellent job by all of the Organists.The complete National Anthem was icing on the cake! Thank you!

The Edison Record company made a number of recordings of this organ in the 1920’s they too are spectacular! A few were done using the old acoustic method but at least 6 were done with microphones after late 1927. I have several,

Truly the best sound from the organ yet.

Phillip Lamb. You’re a natural! You did so many things well on that piece! Look forward to hearing more from you!

Counting down the days until September visit. Hope to see and hear it once again. Attending the recitals at Boardwalk Hall and Philly Macys is always a treat.

Our national anthem is so beautiful. God bless those who gave their lives for our liberty, God bless the folks working on this organ, and GOD BLESS AMERICA.

Listening to this great organ remembering as a child while walking on the boardwalk we happened to hear this organ playing. Now with many tears realizing this once great nation will be no more for it has kicked out the Eternal Father..
-
I have never heard those other lyrics of the national anthem, but they added so much more buildup to the end of the song. An amazing recital as always! You guys are great people!
