Virgil Fox plays "Variations On America" by Charles Ives on the famous 4/36 Wichita Wurlitzer

Here, the singularly great organ virtuoso, Virgil Fox plays Charles Ives' clever "Variations On America" on this RCA Red Seal live concert recording played on the equally famous former Times Square Paramount 4/36 Mighty Wurlitzer theater organ installed at Century II convention center in Wichita Kansas. With tongue firmly planted in cheek, Ives hoped to end the popularity of performing themes and variations in the organ performance genre by composing a theme and variations on a very recognizable tune exploring the absurdity that could be attained in those variations! Virgil's clever intro and ending remarks are included here adding greatly to the frivolity of the moment. Virgil takes full advantage of the Wichita Wurlitzer's full resources on this one. Even calling on certain toy counter effects at just the right moment with hilarious results! 😆
