Organ Wars | Raimondo Mazzon

Organ Wars brings John Williams’s film music to the large organ of Auditorium Pollini in Padua. Raimondo Mazzon performs Fabrizio Castania’s arrangements, moving from the epic themes of Star Wars to the more intimate music of Schindler’s List and Memoirs of a Geisha. The programme explores the instrument’s registers, from pianissimo to a symphonic tutti.
