Finally after 50 years of looking, I have finally found a theater organist who does a really good job. At least all those organists at Eastman finally found out what was really possible on a Wurlitzer Theater Organ, the Unit Orchestra.
Dave Wickerham is one of less than a dozen true masters of the Theater Organ. And, IMHO, easily in the top 3. Full disclosure: my orbit is fairly small so I don't have a great number of talented performers to compare. Still.... he always, and I mean ALWAYS, excels. Music selection, registrations, delivery....always spot on.
We were very fortunate to hear this concert in person. What a magnificent performance. Probably the test theatre organ performance I've ever heard. Thank you very much, Dave!
I thought the same, that I heard the best organ performance ever, after Dave came to Detroit and I heard him live. His creativity and energy is phenomenal.
This is one of the finest examples of these instruments in the country. Thanks to the Rochester Society for protecting, maintaining and promoting it for decades.
