“Unabashed Virtuosity” 

- Organ Canada, Fall 2025

​

"Straus-Fausto brought energy and flair to the afternoon’s program, “Drama, Discipline, and Divinity,” performing with a bold, expressive style that filled the historic sanctuary with rich, resonant sound. His approach featured brisk tempos and commanding registrations that created an exciting and immersive listening experience. From the joy and energy of Bernstein’s Overture to Candide (Alexander’s arrangement), the sonorous tones of Wagner’s Pilgrim’s Chorus from Tannhäuser, Piazzolla’s beautiful, melodic Oblivion (Alexander’s arrangement with tango rhythm on the peddles) to the rich harmonies of Karg-Elert’s Ave Maria the audience members were thoroughly entertained, showing their appreciation with a standing ovation." - Organ Canada Fall 2026
