Welcome to Secrets of Organ Playing Podcast #76!\n\nhttp://www.organduo.lt/podcast\n\nToday's guest is an Italian concert organist Marco Lo Muscio. Marco is one of the most versatile musicians of his generation: organist, pianist, composer. Marco cooperates for recordings and concerts with renowned artists as Kevin Bowyer, David Jackson (Van Der Graaf Generaor), John and Steve Hackett (Genesis).\n\nHe graduated in piano with full honours \u201cCum Laude\u201d at "Licinio Refice" academy of music guided by Maestro Tonino Maiorani, and later studied for three years with the great pianist Sergio Fiorentino (1927-1998) attaining the Diploma of Advanced Studies with full honours at the academy "Bartolomeo Cristofori". He also graduated in Pedagogy "Cum Laude", guided by prof. Giulio Sforza, in the University of "Rome Tre" (degree thesis on Keith Jarrett and Glenn Gould), and in organ with prof. James Edward Goettsche (Main Organist of St. Peter\u2019s Basilica in Vatican). Marco is the first musician who has brought transcriptions of 'progressive music' into the concert halls and cathedrals, thrilling audiences with music by composers like Kieth Emerson, Rick Wakeman and Steve Hackett (Genesis) in this acoustic way. Marco's compositions are similarly 'progressive' in their own way. \n\nIn this conversation Marco shares his insights about organ recordings, rock music, and transcriptions.\n\nEnjoy and share your comments below.\n\u200b\nAnd don't forget to help spread the word about the SOP Podcast by sharing it with your organist friends.\n\nThanks for caring.\n\nRelevant links:\nMarco's website: www.marcolomuscio.com\nMarco's YouTube page: http://www.youtube.com/user/Gandalf71\nSome interesting videos:\nRecording session new Priory CD (organ duet): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Qp7GgaZLGE\nRicercare Cromatico (with sheet music): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7_Uj_xLjqw\nNew Litanies (with sheet music): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAv80YqlAcw\nVariations on "Gabriel's Message" (with sheet music): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGlzjb985ag\nIn Memoriam Messiaen (with sheet music): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOTnVTOzJdA\nVaughan Williams: Fantasy on a theme by Thomas Tallis (arr.
