Specially for Tom M, who's favourite sax player bounces around in white. This guy's missing the shades, but the shoes make up for it. stunning playing, though.

If you're wondering about the performer, there's an interesting Wikipedia article here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cameron_Carpenter

Interesting. I'd heard of him, but not actually heard him playing - certainly virtuosic. I know he gave a recital at this year's proms which had people twittering (not in the micro-blogging sense!).

That piece was of course by Chopin and written for piano. I noticed he was playing one of those modern mobile electronic 'relay' consoles so that you don't have to be out of sight in the organ loft. I'd like to see him try to play the pedals like that with a tracker organ!

Since on wikipedia they had to point out his sexual preference, what do you think about his shoes?

Well spotted the "virtual pipe organ" issue Tenorviol.

No reference to his sexual preference, but I bet that seat is really shiny!

If you look at an organ bench you will see that indeed they usually are!
