Nathan Laube plays Saint-Saëns - Fantaisie in D-flat, Op. 101 on the "Centennial Organ"
Nathan Laube performs Camille Saint-Saëns poetic "Fantaisie in D-flat," Op. 101 on the organ at St. Joseph's Catholic Cathedral in Buffalo, New York.
This performance was recorded by@MoblAudioProductions in March, 2021 for a digital organ concert sponsored by Västerås Cathedral and Kalmar Cathedral in Sweden.
The 1876 E. & G.G. Hook & Hastings organ, Opus 828, is a masterpiece of 19th-century American Organbuilding. Built originally as a showpiece instrument for the Centennial International Exhibition of 1876 - the first World's Fair to be held in the United States - "The Centennial Organ," as it has come to be known, represented the greatest tonal and technological achievements from the prominent Boston firm. It's remarkably efficient specification included two high-pressure Tuba Mirabilis and Stentorphone stops, a free-reed Vox Angelica, 8-and-4-foot reeds in the Great imported from Henri Zimmerman of Paris, and a small, but ingeniously 'extended' Pedal organ of massive scale. Following the Exhibition, it was installed in Buffalo in the newly built Cathedral by famed American ecclesiastic architect Patrick Keely. The organ was expanded in 2001 by the Andover Organ Company as their Opus R-328.
The current specification can be found here:

    What a magnificent organ..... the voicing is beyond incredible.... the strings are every organists dream to have on their home instruments (or church) .... reeds that growl.... just so much to digest.... and Nathan does his work at master level.....

    this comes off really well , but it takes nothing less than such a huge organ and a top notch virtuoso . The registration analysis and experimentation to achieve this sound must have been quite epic . I love Les Preludes , in the piano transcription and now the organ one. Thank you.

      I agree. An organist has controll over both hands and feet at the same time and is pulling stops so registration and timing all at one time. He is playing from memory.Much respect
