I'm not sure what the original thinking was behind this production, because it comes across as patronising and simplistic.

By: Buster Highman on Sep, 19 2012

I heard this program in person, and it was trippy -- and not in the good way. It's a silly concept, and I'd be happy if I never had to hear it again. The music and its execution is fine....but the story.....oh, the story.

The spoken introductions are annoying. Why does a CD rated 1 1/2 stars even get airplay?

Buster - surprised the full name you've given was allowed on this station !! Rude and vulgar !!

By: TrichterRegal on Feb, 29 2016

If this CD is NOT the number one "most hated" CD on OrganLive, it surly is in the top 10! The spoken introductions destroy the music. Perhaps you could edit out the spoken intros? If not... consider getting rid of this CD all together.

By: stlorganist on Aug, 08 2012 REALLY!? By: jfk1961 on May, 18 2016 What a horrible, horrible, unsettling script! What is the point of this CD? I still believe it is in the top 10 of worst organ CD's ever recorded!

By: jfk1961 on Feb, 06 2013 I wonder if the King allowed this spoken nonsense before his dinner music? By: stlorganist on Apr, 30 2014 MINDLESS BABBLE... reason?
JS Bach	Pièce d'Orgue, Fantasia in G major (BWV 572)			10:09	track Rating: 3 (10)	5	Request
By: Brian on Feb, 08 2012 The speech is patronising and makes my toes curl, plus the organ piece is not titled "Pièce d'Orgue". It's by Bach, who was German. Why do people feel the need for this silliness? By: jfk1961 on Apr, 25 2012 Here's the story... one star. End of story. By: brentj on Jul, 30 2012 'Tis the title Bach gave the work. By: TrichterRegal on Jun, 05 2019 I can personally drive to St. Louis, and you can throw this CD in the street, and I will run it over repeatedly till it's DEAD! By: Brian on Jun, 06 2019 TrichterRegal, that made me laugh out loud and spray coffee on my keyboard. This abomination is so awful I'd pay for you to run over it - and I'll chuck in a cutting laser too!

By: jfk1961 on Sep, 15 2014 Maybe the name of the new OrganLive station should be, "Any Album in the OrganLive Library EXCEPT 'Stories From The Human Village: War and Peace!'" By: Tromba on Jan, 30 2017 Narration in concerts is pretty cheesy...

By: Filea on Jun, 19 2014 Never heard such a bad interpretation with a so bad choices of stops. Horrible....... Please cancel! By: stlorganist on Apr, 29 2014 IMHO must agree with Filea a beginning organist could have chosen better registration! By: gemshorn on Nov, 10 2014 Horrible choice, yes, but no much other choice avail. The organ is not the right one for this Carillon, or the Carillon is not the riight work for this organ! By: mrorgan on Jun, 19 2017 oh and those tacky bells (zimbelstern?) at the end of the pieces.... no no no! By: TrichterRegal on Jul, 18 2017 But it's from "Stories From The Human Village: War and Peace!" The MOST despised AND repugnant CD in the OrganLive library! You mean the music is bad too! My Goodness! How Shocking!!!
