Organ Improvisation on "Befiehl du deine Wege"

My organist son sent me a link to this amazing video. 

Listened to it in the dark on full speakers while driving into town. The organist is brilliant. It's in his blood. He knows his music intimately. The acoustics in that church must be amazing. The hours of learning and practice he must have gone through are staggering. This man understands how an organ works. It is an unusually clean and intelligible performance, not the usual "see how fast I can play." 

The church organ is a fantastic instrument and one I sorely miss. It's an entire orchestra in one instrument. There is no greater music than classical music, in my opinion. Oh the complexities and sheer magnificence. 

Lobe den Herrn!
