www.telarc.com - CAMERON CARPENTER'S Revolutionary Turns The Organ World (And Maybe Yours, Too) Upside Down. Taken from the bonus DVD included with every copy of Revolutionary.
I don't now how the human mind can keep track of four appendages doing so much work independently of each other! I struggle with just a left and right hand at the piano. Gotta be one of the most talented organists alive today!
Sometimes when I see and hear a performance like this, with no music, I wish I could experience what the artist is seeing and feeling in his brain. there is another World out there to which few of us can go and experience.
I doubt Chopin would have been "ill" over this. He'd probably have thought it was the coolest thing he'd ever seen and wanted to write more stuff for it. People who WRITE this sort of music are a bit more freer in the mind than the people who try to reproduce it note for note. Besides, the piano rep has more than its share of pieces developed from the rep of other instruments. Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini anyone? :-) And nearly none of the past greats used anything like a modern piano.
I just discovered Cameron while watching CBS News - Sunday Morning. WHAT A GEM! Amazing, beautiful, handsome, talented, inspirational, creative as all get out, original, bright light, intelligent, sparkling, brave, sexy, intriguing, and SO MUCH MORE! It's a beautiful day when I stumble onto a new discovery that touches & ignites so many of my senses!
Yes, he creates all his glitzy outfits, and even glues expensive Swarovski crystals (all by hand), himself. He's even designed a portable Organ so that he can tour with it, instead of having to use the organs in whatever churches or venues he happens to be performing in. It's going to be 'A Glitzy Affair', to be sure! Cameron is a STAR!
This proves you're in a league of your own. That Chopin was one of the most the most sonically beautiful and technically impossible events I've whiteness in the 21st Century. You, dear Camoran ……. are…….. all of these "possibilites" and many more………. coming forward in this world. Human and incarnate! After your birthday take a rest. (two weeks+ on a cruse around the Greek Islands… Sea! See the sea! Breathe in fresh air and do it with a will.) Start thinking about your compositions; your works, your compositions, with choirs in Montreal, the orchestra in Chicago, video from outer space, and… now working with Light…. Disney……. and God knows what. The bottom line is, your spirit doesn't need to work so hard… all the time. Soon……….. and with Grace I pray, your going to be playing around the whole world…. at the same time…. world-wide… Creating……… with Sound and Spirit!!!! I voting for your side. You're updating the whole system. (You already know this. It's also recognized at the highest levels related to the Arts and various Academies round the world.) However, you ( I intuit) need some rest! "Take care of your health." That was the first thing Fernando Germani said to me. Charles, A.T.O.M.
Who could be cooler than Carpenter? A black Belt in keyboard (and pedalboard) technique, unafraid to express himself and his sexuality (Unlike the closet-bound Virgil Fox) and Cameron plays the Theater Organ. We NEED more performers like this talented young man. MUSIC needs more people like him.
He brings to mind the wonderful show pianist Liberace. Cameron in my humble opinion is a truly great organist but has sadly fallen into the commercial trap of pleasing the masses. Lang Lang of the piano world springs to mind. Now with both I feel if they bring more people to the world of organ or piano then this is a jolly good thing indeed. People like me who are purists should shut up and simply hope that those brought to the organ or piano may begin to learn and appreciate the truly great players of these king of instruments. Although my toes curl while listening to Cameron I have to bare in mind that many people who would not normally listen to such music are indeed enjoying his skills. Pray hope they begin to understand why I do not think he is really that good. Learn more about what he is doing and please go to concerts of deeply respected performers. Thank you Cameron for bringing this music to a wider audience.
Just imagine the skill and coordination anyone would need to pull off something like this. That's what's most astounding of all. I bet only a very few people could do this. Congratulations Cameron.
Wow! Look at all of those comments that are negative. In all of my years of composing and in the music business I have seen and heard everthing from one side of the world to the other. Music is dynamic, she breathes and gives birth to creativity and to virtuosos! I makes no diffrence to who he is compared to in the past and present he is not to be compared but to be added to ranks of virtuosos. Take it for what his music making is. Compare him not to anyone else, he is what he is, a master!
@ragtime1000 actually if you can find the other trinity performance of Cameron playing this piece live in concert. you can better see his feet playing the last 4 chords. it should be in my favorites
This is technically very impressive, but... I just don't think the sound of an organ truly does a favor to Chopin's composition in this case. I'm really impressed at the dedication and work doing this must have implied, and I really clap my hands at that, but this composition looses its sentimental value because of the natural reverberation of the organ in my opinion... I'd rather hear it with clear cut sound and precise technique on a piano, because its supposed to be more... stabbing, I'd say. Still, impressive performance, and no denying this guy is a technical genius on an organ.
Chloë Hauchecorne I, too, think that this man is a genius. Yes I know well that Chopin wrote for the piano. But I think that even Chopin would be impressed with this interpretation. I'm familiar with the original Chopin score for this piece and I agree with you as to the more pronounced the piano version is but . . . but CC certainly does an impressive job with it. I've played the organ and piano for nearly fifty years. I wish I had one tenth of the talent that CC demonstrates.
This guy is truly AMAZING!!! anyone that does not think so is such a purist that they will only follow what is the paper...move on!...I deal with them infrequently and get them out of my life asap...why negative comments about shoes, dress etc...with talent like this you can do what you want with whom and where you want to...if Ella and Frank followed what was on the paper we would have never known who they were!!! Negative comments are based on jealousy about talent, age and looks!
ok, i take back my last comment. it's starting to grow on me :) at time index 1:56 there's a stop change in the pedals and i really love the sound it creates almost has a "reed" kind of sound to it but i'm not 100% sure too bad Telarc didn't re-record Cameron playing stars & stripes
@codeman2008 I totally agree with you, these pieces should not be played on the organ. What Cameron has done here is used them as the prime specimen for his 'show business', whilst its undeniably true he has a strong pedal point, but I don't appreciate the impression this brings on the public that "faster is better". Its obvious he can play it perfectly on the organ but in no way does it mean its going to sound nearly as good as the original. Thanks for your honest input.
@ragtime1000 he's playing them (the last 4 chords) with his feet. if you watch his feet they are turned sideways. each foot can play 2 notes if they are close enough. one with the toe and one with the heel
When I first heard this originally played on piano, it seemed almost organ like. Now that I heard this, I prefer this on organ than on piano, although I'm sure others have differing views. To each their own :)
Well, eat your judgemental heart out. I just visited Berlin, and he is already announced in full page ads for a recital on Sept. 24 at the Philharmonie Berlin, home of the Berliner Philharmoniker, playing works by JS Bach, Albeniz, Wagner, Liszt, Ives and himself. I can't see why anyone should dictate what he should or shouldn't play on the organ, it's either good music or it isn't, and so far consensus is in his favor. He is obviously a major virtuoso.
The pedals were always my favorite part of the organ...gives it this kick-ass sound no other instrument has. So it's no wonder why I love this video. I don't really care about the critics...they have a right to their opinion, but that's all it is. Meanwhile, every time I hear this, I get goosebumps. All those critics ever give anyone is heartburn.
this is the kind of thing that i think about and i tell myself "ya know it would be real funny if someone did this" and then no one does it. but this time, we see something happen ;-;
I'm sorry, but I thought we were commenting on this guy's talents at the console, not your new President. You need to ignore what the guy is wearing and appreciate sheer talent. Long may you continue Cameron. Regards from the UK.
POOR CAMERON, HE DOESN´T UNDERSTAND THE MONSTER HE IS CREATING, FROM IT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO ESCAPE FROM. THE YOUNG KIDS DON´T LIKE THIS MUSIC, AND THE OLD ONES LIKE ME, ARE TOO PURIST TO BE DIVERTED IN THIS WAY. AND HE IS SUCH A TALENTED ORGANIST, HE REMINDS ME OF ANTHNOY NEWMAN, WHO 30 YEARS AGO COULD PLAY CIRCLES AROUND ALL IMAGINATION, AND HE WAS EVENTUALLY REJECTED BY MUCH OF THE SAME WIZEDRY WE SEE HERE WITH CAMERON. NO CHURCH WOULD WANT TO GIVE HIM AN ORGANIST JOB AS HE MIGHT FLIP OUT INTO ONE OF THESE FRENZIES ??? ANTHONY JUST DRIED UP AND WENT AWAY, AND IT WAS A LOSS IN THE SAME WAY YOU SEE HERE. HIS PHYSICAL ABILITIES (OF CAMERON) ARE AMAZING BUT IT IS A ROCKET SHIP CREATED FOR THE 18TH CENTURY. WHAT WOULD LOUIS XIV DO WITH A ROCKET, MAKE A WEAPON OUT OF IT AND SEND IT TO RUSSIA? WELL I WISH HIM THE BEST OF LUCK.
having viewed the 2007 concert version of Cameron playing this about 10,000 times :) i don't care for this version i know the organ is digital but it sounds very electronic in this recording i don't know if Telarc's mics cut some of the reverb out or if Cameron set the organ up that way because he's definitely playing the pedals faster in this version so maybe the reverb had to be cut back to compensate for the speed his feet are moving i wish Trinity would sell a DVD of the original from 07
I was wondering for a while " Cameron Carpenter reminds me something.....something.....but what?" You answerd my question. "Figure Skate on Pipe Organ" !!! Yes !!!!
Amazing, incredible! Many organists can be jealous for his great playing. It doesn't matter how he is dressed, it matters what and how he does. How long takes to play like that? The whole life! If Bach or Reger would know him, there would be works that are not playable for everybody. Thanks for sharing.
Evening ladies, and I thought trumpet players could get a bit tetchy.... Fabulous to hear and see such virtuosity. At the end of the day, it is always the sound that matters, just looked this up 'cos I heard him on The Culture Show at the Royal Albert Hall - he played it slower, but 'cos of the sound of that mighty beast, it was even more impressive to my humble, brass addled ears.
stiffy stuffy snobs who think that anything outside of their limited parameters is BAD STUFF that will FOREVER CORRUPT the beautiful world of classical music they have constructed and believe in to the exclusion of everything else. But, I agree with YOU! This IS beautiful! :)
"Please don't follow the footsteps of Liberace" Why not? That style worked fine for Liberace. He got money, attention, fame, and seemed completely happy.
Yup! 😁. Heel toe, heel toe on espresso. Doctor/Nurse: “now let me ask you about any exercise routine?” Cameron: “I play organ.” Doctor/Nurse: “Pardon me….next question.”
@Brideshead09 No I don't think the entire piano repertoire would fall to his amazing foot work. But most of it. You can't get as much emotion from an organ as you could a piano.
hmmm, maybe it's not a stop change after all maybe it just sounds different because it's a higher note and he's holding down (sustaining it) a bit longer with no other notes playing from the keyboard so we can more clearly hear the sound of the pedal stops being used i guess it's difficult to hear the effects of a reed when notes are being played so rapidly
@achim56nrw Don't you like Liberace? He's always seemed to me an extension of the ability and flamboyance of Liszt but the with popularity of a popular musician (tautology?), of course at the cost of some of the 'pureness' of his interpretations, and his liking of jazz etc, but he produced some good, interesting and technically demanding interpretations.
@silverstartrucker Awww... sheesh. Was it the Big John Bach comment? Or that Jonny HATED HATED HATED sequins? Perhaps he just loathed them. :) In any case Cameron is the King of the Pedals with the added bonus that he sort of talks like Sheldon on the Big Bang Theory! I would love to see a vid of Cameron telling a joke :)
He should play dance dance revolution ...
GENIUS! Why so many haters? This is INCREDIBLE talent! Absolute dedication ... fully committed to his art... you should see him NOW!!!
They probably just hate his white shoes and sparkly shirt
IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND IT IS BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT AN ANTIQUE MUSIC LOVER
Such an amazing performance. I don't think anyone else in the world could play this.
I don't now how the human mind can keep track of four appendages doing so much work independently of each other! I struggle with just a left and right hand at the piano. Gotta be one of the most talented organists alive today!
No matter how many times I play this video, I still can't quite believe what I am seeing and hearing.
One of the ten top organ perfomances in the world. Gotta be
...my Achilles tendons hurt just watching the little bastard.
What a technique.
Bloody genius.
Sometimes when I see and hear a performance like this, with no music, I wish I could experience what the artist is seeing and feeling in his brain. there is another World out there to which few of us can go and experience.
No words...we can tell good or not good Chopin on organ...but his pedalboard technic is JUST AMAZING!!! WOWWWWWWWWW
Cameron lives near me. I see him walking around sometimes. Someday I have got to meet this genius!!
Did you meet him already?
@@timotheuspeter734 He moved after his post ;-))
I have difficulty playing the bass on the piano with my left hand. He is doing it with his feet. Incredible.
I doubt Chopin would have been "ill" over this. He'd probably have thought it was the coolest thing he'd ever seen and wanted to write more stuff for it. People who WRITE this sort of music are a bit more freer in the mind than the people who try to reproduce it note for note. Besides, the piano rep has more than its share of pieces developed from the rep of other instruments.

O H M Y G O D ! I see it, and I hear it, but I don't believe it! How can any one person have that much talent in their body?!?
I have seen the future... and it's name is Cameron Carpenter.
Beautiful ...beautiful ...organist Cameron. God bless you !!
Amazing performance and very cute guy ;-)
He never disappoints
He brings to mind the wonderful show pianist Liberace. Cameron in my humble opinion is a truly great organist but has sadly fallen into the commercial trap of pleasing the masses. Lang Lang of the piano world springs to mind.

Someone should take your period key away...

Absolutely right!
WHAT AN OLYMPIC ORGANIST!
Indeed. Some say long overdue. Some say the final, missing link between high-brow classical music and athletic events like ice-sakting.
Bravo!
@TheMercguy I totally agree with you Merc! Cameron has an amazing talent and that's all that matters. If people don't like watching him, move on!
Nota um milhão!!
Marcos Leite, Pianista/ Professor.
OMG THATS THE FASTEST PEDAL PLAYING I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!!!
This guy is truly AMAZING!!! anyone that does not think so is such a purist that they will only follow what is the paper...move on!...I deal with them infrequently and get them out of my life asap...why negative comments about shoes, dress etc...with talent like this you can do what you want with whom and where you want to...if Ella and Frank followed what was on the paper we would have never known who they were!!!

FANTASTIC!!!! I'm without words!!!!!!

almost has a "reed" kind of sound to it but i'm not 100% sure
too bad Telarc didn't re-record Cameron playing stars & stripes
Thank you, Cameron!
If Rachmaninoff and Lutoslawski can raid Paganini's fridge and play violin stuff on the piano, Carpenter can put Chopin on an organ.
@codeman2008

A: Cameron Carpenter.
Q: What do get when you cross figure-skating with the pipe organ?
When I first heard this originally played on piano, it seemed almost organ like. Now that I heard this, I prefer this on organ than on piano, although I'm sure others have differing views. To each their own :)

I like it very very much.
OMG...this is amazing! I'm currently struggling with good footwork and this is very inspiring!
Looking forward to seeing Mr. Carpenter at the Kennedy Center on Wednesday, Oct 16.
Amazing!
Chopin in those shoes. Can't beat that.
Savannah Music Festival loves you!!!! Incredible!!!
having viewed the 2007 concert version of Cameron playing this about 10,000 times :) i don't care for this version

This guy's leg work is better than anything my right hand has played🙂
Talk about awesome multi-tasking.

This is absolutely incredible
Bravo
Hahaha my music 🎵 thanks Cameron
WOW! I wonder what Virgil Fox is thinking as he looks down from heaven and sees Cameron fly away at the keyboards?
"Please don't follow the footsteps of Liberace"
Why not? That style worked fine for Liberace. He got money, attention, fame, and seemed completely happy.
HE IS FANTASTIC! BUT WHAT'S WITH THE SHOES?
❤
JFC is this guy playing the left hand with his feet?
Yup! 😁. Heel toe, heel toe on espresso.
Doctor/Nurse: “now let me ask you about any exercise routine?”
Cameron: “I play organ.”
Doctor/Nurse: “Pardon me….next question.”
@Brideshead09 No I don't think the entire piano repertoire would fall to his amazing foot work. But most of it. You can't get as much emotion from an organ as you could a piano.
Great work cam! Keep on going!
Ignore the haters. They're jealous and besides, soon they'll all be dead.
No,1
amazing! ;o
cameron should try playing drum set.... he'll be better than anyone has ever been
"David Bowie the Dumuzid has appeared.
It's the killer!
Do not die."
Sweet Jesus! You are a god!
Allucinante
Exactly..
CC is God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm not an organ purist so I'd love to see him add some synthesizers and do something in the vein of Keith Emerson. Cameron is extremely talented!
i love his shoes
Bro doesn't skip leg day
RAIN OF S P I D E R S
🕷 🕷🕷 🕷
🕷🕷 🕷 🕷
hmmm, maybe it's not a stop change after all
maybe it just sounds different because it's a higher note and he's holding down (sustaining it) a bit longer with no other notes playing from the keyboard so we can more clearly hear the sound of the pedal stops being used
i guess it's difficult to hear the effects of a reed when notes are being played so rapidly
pedalboards were also different and much harder to play back then.
And whether or not one likes sequins does not dictate how well they play the organ.
Yea, with Koopman theres also something behind the show!
Phantastisch!
I should have played the Organ!
I cannot even imagine playing Chopin with my feet!
After playing many mnay years..I only wish I could approach this technique...and you all thopught my friend Miss Bish plays fast.
@achim56nrw Don't you like Liberace? He's always seemed to me an extension of the ability and flamboyance of Liszt but the with popularity of a popular musician (tautology?), of course at the cost of some of the 'pureness' of his interpretations, and his liking of jazz etc, but he produced some good, interesting and technically demanding interpretations.
@silverstartrucker
Awww... sheesh. Was it the Big John Bach comment? Or that Jonny HATED HATED HATED sequins? Perhaps he just loathed them. :) In any case Cameron is the King of the Pedals with the added bonus that he sort of talks like Sheldon on the Big Bang Theory! I would love to see a vid of Cameron telling a joke :)
He's playing the dance dance revolutionary etude.
