From the very beginning you could hear that this man knows what he’s doing. His unerring technique and overall musicianship was a delight to hear. Bayreuther’s use of changes in volume and the various organ sounds - or stops - made it easy to follow the music’s twists and turns especially in the more contrapuntal sections. He used all of his technical prowess not for its own sake, but in the service of offering an emotionally charged yet nuanced performance.

Playing with care and passion, Nathan’s performances are both awe-filled and stirring. At the same time, he can use the organ in ways that are playful, matching the music to the occasion. For us, he offered an education in the moods, registers, and talents of the organ—sounds that we had never before thought possible of our too familiar instrument—in just one concert. In an era where fine organists are increasingly hard to find, Nathan is a rare jewel.

Nathan exploited nearly every resource that is found on the large instrument at Central Baptist. The fiery Toccatas that began and ended his program were delicately balanced with the gentle and soothing sounds of Handel, Sowerby and Dubois. Nathan’s program was well thought out, well prepared and greatly appreciated by the audience.

Nathan Bayreuther is one of those rare musicians who combines a mature talent with a playful enthusiasm when he sits down at the organ. His selection of stops, use of expression, and skillful phrasing demonstrates that he loves to make music come alive for the listener, always the hallmark of a great organist.
