    For thoise that don't realise, this is her practice time on that organ. Once or twice a month, from about midnight to 6am she's in there practicing. It's the only time she can as the building is in use at pretty much any other time.
  • It’s the person that makes it cool…She’s brilliant…intelligent…beautiful…naturally gifted…no question…it’s amazing to watch someone who’s naturally gifted, practice…in such an awesome venue at such a weird time…gives a totally cinematic feel…

    I play the organ and I have to say that I enjoy hearing Anna play this wonderful instrument. I wish all communities will support organs especially pipe organs in their communities so that they don't feel like they haven't touched them. Shame on those who want nothing to do with the organs as they abandoned them.

    I’ve followed Anna for a while, she’s so incredibly talented.

    Anna is the best. She inspires the schools aged kids with their music endeavors. 🎼

    This was BEAUTIFUL! My uncle was a concert organist many years ago. I think he would have loved this!
  • @EvanFowler
    So badass. How is that not echoing through the streets of London? Does the Royal Albert Hall just have some kind of perfectly contained acoustics or something? Seems like it would be loud outside the building when the building itself is the amplifier. Either way, this is the coolest, sexiest thing ever.
  • She is the best, tremendous skill. Keep it up you are appreciated more than you will ever know.
