World's Largest Organ - Wanamaker Organ (Philadelphia, PA)

One of the largest organs in the world and the largest operational organ in the world, located in Macy's Center in Philadelphia, PA. Based on number of pipes, it is the second largest organ in the world; based on number of ranks and physical mass weight, it is the largest operational musical instrument in the world, with six manuals, 463 ranks, 399 registers, with 28,677 pipes and weighs 287 tons. The organ was initially constructed by the Los Angeles Art Organ Co. in 1904, and expanded twice by the Wanamaker Organ Shop from 1914--1917, and 1924-1930.

The Wanamaker instrument has more ranks than the Atlantic City Convention Hall instrument which has more pipes because of the many ridiculous extensions, such as a piano keyboard for those not familiar with the organ as a primary instrument.

The most extraordinarily beautiful-sounding instrument, with a perfect choice of repertoire. Do you know who the player is?

Sadly the Boardwalk hall auditorium organ is out of play, but this giant monster still stands.

Please the name of the composition and the composer played in this video. Thanks a lot.
