This week there were a little less contestants in the contest than there were last week. Where there were 10 last week, there are 7 now. Yesterday evening when I wrote the draft of this post, there were only 5 entries. Five is a bit of a difficult number to pick three favorites contestants. I won't vote for myself (feels like cheating), so that leaves four three votes. Meaning I would have to leave one out, and that is a difficult choice. So, I am actually glad @drugelis and @sapolasa added there entries since then.
Number one is not difficult. A movement of a Vierne symphony is not easy to pull of, so my first choice is @contrabourdon's performance of the Finale of Vierne's first symphony.
Second is not difficult either. I like @michaelcalabris's colourful improvisations. Not only pipes in there but other midi-instruments as well, creating the mystique surrounding the Delphi Oracle
The third was a difficult choice between the fine perfoamnces of @drugelis, @iwan2belive, @andrewgrahem and @sapolasa. In the end, as I am deep into trio playing myself these weeks, I choose for @andrewgraham, playing Armsdorf choral trio on "Allein Gott in der Höh sei Ehr" as third winner pick.

Thank you for mentioning me. For me the most important participation in this contest
I'm surprised that there are so many participants in this contest
