Some years ago while the St. Etienne Caen Cavaille-Coll organ was being restored I followed the process with posts and updates by someone involved - fascinating. I have a commercial recording of the restored instrument which is quite good, but this recording by Richard is stunning. Captures the genius of Cavaille-Coll with superb presence especially in the Franck Chorale 3 in A minor - the registration comes through amazingly. The wonderful quality of the recording equipment is exemplified when toward the end of the piece when Richard engages the 32' contre-bombarde and those pedal notes including those producing the lowest frequency bass notes nearly knocked me off the chair I was sitting while listening - absolutely fantastic!! Many thanks to Richard - and to France's Ministry of Culture for having the organ restored to such glory. Interesting that it now has been electrified - apparently including the action as well

Ref. Richard's comment about the organ pedal challenges in the Dupre piece in this series of recordings it appears to me that with the Bach piece the pedal work is so much a challenge that one would almost need to be super-human to accomplish it Richard has!

[@petertambling8237]

A fantastic sound perfectly played on a wonderful Organ. If my late Son was only here to enjoy it, but then I know he would give anything to have his hands on that keyboard. He still holds the Record for being the youngest to play his own music to a full House in the Albert Hall London aged two days into his 14th year. I am the very proud Father of Christopher Tambling FRCO. who played his first Service in Beaulieu Abbey aged ten in 1976.

Looking forward to watching.

[@denniscarlson1262]

The Dupre--what a sparkling river of music! Congrats on a spellbinding performance. Thank you.

[@chet146]

..great performance and sound of selected registers, thank you very much, Richard!🙂

[@casefromnl2856]

Great performance ! Very good quality of the sound and chosen registrations !

[@ariebroekhuizen7367]

Amazing peace of William Walond, well played! Thank you very much from Ochten (Holland)

[@charlesdavis7087]

You're changing the organ-world. Congratulations.

[@katydickson5547]

WOW!!! What a brilliant and superb concert. There were some new composers that I never knew about and one or two that I did know about and Richard was very informative about them all. So enjoyed this superb concert. Thank you.

[@beautyinsound]

Thank you Katy :)

[@casefromnl2856]

Marcèèèl Dupré, Marcèèèl Dupré.... perfect !!

[@diannemills5594]

Listened to this afternoon 3June 2021. Catching up on back recitals. As usual wonderful music. A bonus is that I can relisten to all again especially with winter approaching here.

[@david24240]

Très beau et très bien joué

[@casefromnl2856]

Looking forward to your "After Covid" LIVE performance in Holland... especially your Dupré's Prelude and Fugue !!! Great !

[@MarcPiano]

Great concert! Nice to hear the different organs. Loved the Howels piece! Btw I reaized

[@yapproger]

Loving this Richard, I can’t wait to hear it again in my new detached house so I can blow the roof off! ( smoothsilk )

[@beautyinsound]

How long do you have to wait for the new house?

[@yapproger]

@@beautyinsound Hopefully only 2 weeks, it’s been a real saga but hopefully it will all be worth it! Just being able to listen to you as I wish will be really great especially on your new wonderful organ! You give me so much pleasure and so many others! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿😇

[@Edward_Hughes]

Bach: superb performance, up there with Ullrich Böhme at the Thomaskirche. It sounds as if you have spent a lot of time playing good mechanical-action instruments?

[@johnharvey2215]

I remember watching them at the time. Why did you have to remove them?

[@davidmorris4426]

Just wondering why you had to remove them? They were wonderful!

[@joscallinet6260]

I can't speak for Richard, but he may have had to remove them because other people were copying them and passing them off as their own - a copyright infringement.

[@mudgebauer]

@@joscallinet6260 if true, thats scandalous.

[@John-hr5bj]

Bravo!! Brilliant playing and registration!! Enjoyed immensely. couple of nonmusical comments: Apply black polish to those organ shoes. Care of shoes doesn't match care of your other attire. Camera angle on the Bach needs better positioning to show your superb foot work. The Mozart piece had the best lighting of the pedal board. Suggest using that lighting for your pedal board PIP. Thanks for your type of cameras. GoPro or Lumix for pedal PIP? "Next" pedal briliant rigging. Connects to computer by USB, but how do you tell computer to change registration? Thank you, Richard.

[@richardnott57]

Battle-worn organists' shoes indicate the life they have lead tripping up and down the pedalboard. That are like Barristers' gowns where every mark and tear represent a courtroom battle. New gown = new Barrister!

[@John-hr5bj]

Richard Nott WOW. I will not even to justify or support British reasoning on barrister ragged black robes as experience. “tripping up and down the pedalboard “ in USA is with the SOLE of the shoe-not with side of the shoe. Polished uppers, sides, and heels are simply my bias to one’s presentation. Just have to give Richard a tease. Jonathan Scott has “tripped up and down” the pedalboard, yet has polished AND Shined organ shoes. YT organists Paul Frey, Gert, James Flores (Aussie) in barrister comparison are New Organists.

[@Edward_Hughes]

Organ shoes shouldn't be polished. But nor should they really have cameras pointed at them, or be gawked at by the uninitiated.

[@John-hr5bj]

@@Edward_Hughes Polished organ shoes is my opinion. Thanks for your opinion. Camera on pedalboard allows me to observe organist’s pedal technique. I always willing to learn from accomplished organist. That is not “gawking” and I am not “uninitiated” in all the aspects of organ playing!!

[@joscallinet6260]

From this point onward, it appears that unless we watch Richard's recitals (such as this one on 5 ORGANS, dated Saturday, October 3, 2020) when he's ACTUALLY streaming them in REAL TIME, we will no longer be able to watch them later on, as evidently he's decided not to leave them available for subsequent, after-hours viewing, for the same reason why he had to remove his previous ones. I hope I'm mistaken in my understanding.

[@beautyinsound]

Not true. From this moment onwards they’ll be remaining on the channel, and the previous ones will be returning in various forms ☺️

[@tomparsons6177]

And the chats stay on too. Love the chats. Thanks Richard and Caroline

時差の関係で聴けないです。本当に残念です。
