These are my top three picks for the Secrets of Organ Playing Contest Week 59. It's a few hours early (hoping no late entries) but I've got some other plans for the evening. Yes, I was a participant, but I think it's a bit awkward choosing myself.

I've compiled the contest entries into a playlist so you can listen to all of them easily:

As per the contest post (though I decided to create this post as well as leaving a comment):

This week anybody can pick the winners based on what sounded the most interesting and best performed to you. Next Monday simply write your comment under this post with your 3 winning choices. Participants CAN vote for themselves too. I will calculate who received the most number of votes and announce in separate post. -- @organduo

1st place - @partitura

A clear standout performance this week!

Geist, Lofvad vare du Jesu Christ

2nd place - @sapolasa

I'm beginning to think you like the compositions of Lefebure-Wely? Let's have the Sortie in E-flat soon 🤓

L. J. A. Lefebure -Wely - Verset h-moll

3rd place - @drugelis

Your articulation is coming along nicely and the flow of the piece is steady. Congratulations!

Von Gott will ich nicht lassen

Hoping more of the community will vote for their choice of winners for week 60.
