Thanks very much for sharing this! I performed this concerto (with orchestra) in one of my doctoral dissertation recitals, for which I used David Fuller's edition which is a transcription from this same barrel organ. This is the first time that I have heard the barrel organ version.
A barrel organ mechanical musical instrument requiring nothing but the regular rotary motion of a handle to keep it going. They can be operated by clockwork, by weights, and by electric motors. A revolving cylinder is fitted with pegs that open valves, permitting air to enter a set of organ pipes. Some larger ones have several sets of pipes and various couplers.
