In June 2008, Tony and his gorgeous wife, Noella, took a couple of days
of "no deadline" R&R with George and I here on Australia's Sunshine Coast,
before setting off for a few more days on the Gold Coast away from aircraft,
concerts, and tight schedules, etc. Tony spent some time with my VTPO and
recorded a few tracks to Logic (MIDI recorder software) which he generously
offered for this website.
It was re-assuring to see my friend of 40 years looking so
well, after his near death experience in late 2007. Tony's playing seems
to have been reborn and refreshed when compared to his pre hospital days.
Maybe this is because he no longer has to play through pain and discomfort
any more?
Tony has a deft touch, where those most important spaces
between notes are valued nearly as highly as the notes themselves. Couple
that with his exquisite phrasing, ability to spontaneously change
interpretations, and most importantly Tony's unmatched sense of musicality
ensures that he continues to remain in that august group of his peers at the
very top of the theatre organ performance art form. A spot that he has
occupied now, for nearly 50 years!
It is also little wonder that Roland are experiencing
record sales of their Atelier keyboards with Tony Fenelon as their
premier global Atelier artist.
Enjoy!
