This is the larger-than-life American showman organist Carlo Curley who is known as “The Pavarotti of the Organ”.



He begins an extensive tour of NZ at Hamilton on Friday evening, then on Saturday evening he will be giving the huge new Auckland Town Hall Pipe Organ what will probably be the biggest work-out the instrument will ever receive.

Carlo has been to NZ once before when he gave a concert in February 1997 playing the Wellington Town Hall Organ and during that concert he actually managed to run the instrument out of wind....the wind reservoirs simply couldn't keep up with the demands of what he was playing — something people would previously have thought impossible given the huge wind supply that organ has.

It will be interesting to see how the wind system of the new Auckland Town Hall Organ stands up to the thrashing it is no doubt going to receive on Saturday night when Carlo is let loose on the instrument.
