A renaissance for the organ?

Paul Jacobs at Julliard certainly seems like the man to start one

The organ world, he said, is too insular and urges his colleagues and students to “get out of the loft.” Many organists “are academic musicians and simply lack a healthy flair and virtuosity,” he added. “One frequently gets the sense that they are emotionally detached from the music, which is ultimately the death of art.”...
“Ours is a culture that wants everything to be easily digestible, but to fully appreciate a Bach fugue, you have to be able to hear contrapuntally, and this takes work. I’m tired of a culture that devalues music and has no desire to understand it more intimately. And the void has been filled by parasites in the entertainment industry.” ...
Mr. Jacobs chats with his audiences during recitals, stressing that art music is for everyone and hoping to demystify a complex instrument often hidden from view during performances, although video screens are changing that — a development of which Mr. Jacobs heartily approves.

Although having come from the performing world, and more and more aware all the time of the necessity to subordinate the urges vital to it to the task at hand (in whihc those same urges are fatal,) what may be good for the organ, per se is not altogether a good thing for liturgical music.
