BEETHOVEN SYMPHONY NO. 9 "SCHERZO" MOLTO VIVACE - JONATHAN SCOTT - CASAVANT ORGAN MONTREAL CANADA

[@venusessentials]

I’ve already listened to this twice. How are you this perfect at all ranges? I’m kind of astounded? We need teachers of this quality around the world.

[@nevillelombard2077]

You are the most brilliant organist In the world 👍👍👍

AMAZING!!! SYMPHONIC ORCHESTRATION CONDENSED SO FINELY WITH DETAIL, FOR TWO HANDS AND TWO FEET-WITH THE MAJESTY OF THE KING OF INSTRUMENTS!!! WONDERFUL!!!!

[@kentbloxham3826]

So Wonderful to see you travelling the World once again !The whole World should be able to hear you play. You Are A beautiful person with stunning talent that should be Celebrated the whole World over

[@stevew7353]

Oh my goodness! First of all well done for choosing the organ AND accoystics for the piece - reverb just right which brought out the articulation. Kudos to Tom for making the most of that - superb sound. I really thought I'd miss the tymps which I normally air play in that but didn't, proving that dear old Ludwig must have added them later as an afterthought! Jonathan, your swell pedal use is grossly underrated. To make an organ sound like a full orchestra with crescendo and dimmimuendos sounding so natural when you can only control that with one foot is remarkable. I just hope the grumpy old man's hearing was restored when he went upstairs, as I think even he'd be cracking a smile at that interpretation.

[@peterkralt2974]

After hearing Jonathan play I'm thinking that Beethoven's symphonies are really organ pieces that he-Ludwig- transcribed for orchestra. Jonathan is just now bringing them to their true realization. Can't wait for the 7th symphony on the king of instruments.

[@grahaml6668]

My gosh, one of those big old beasts Casavant was so famous for! Are you sure you have only the standard number of hands, fingers, and feet? That was an incredible performance.

[@marie-annav.dermarwitz-pla4952]

Oh mein Gott ist das ein Geschenk für Ohren und Augen! Herzlichen Dank für diesen Orgelgenuss!!!

Grandiose!⚜

[@jordanm2984]

Oh bliss, bliss and heaven... Oh, it was gorgeousness and gorgeousity made flesh... And then, a bird of rarest-spun heaven metal, or like silvery wine flowing in a spaceship, gravity all nonsense now... As I slooshied, I knew such lovely pictures!

[@TheInvestigativeExaminers206]

Oh my brothers….

[@d.singler-kron9034]

Many cheers for the Scott Brothers and the Casavant Brothers.

[@almostthere3733]

I hope you guys had a great trip to Montreal and got a chance to do some sightseeing and enjoy the cuisine! Please come back again soon and explore more of the cities and instruments. Always welcome.

[@seamuskelly3408]

Welcome to Montréal! I hope you are having a good time!

[@johnfranks9602]

No matter which organ is played we always seam to have registrations that are perfect as if Jonathan as played the instrument for years, and my favourite comment for all is that we hear all transcriptions without wading in a cloud of too many or overloaded stops, your transcriptionsf being played by an orchestra. All this once again aided by fantastic recording from Tom , no overload and manages the building acoustics somehow. Please carry on your fantastic work gentlemen, many thanks once again.

[@charmoka]

It's amazing how much some parts sound like the orchestra actually playing! Well done!

[@Charonupthekuiper]

Simply delightful, what a performance, what a place and what an instrument.

[@miriamcaraquitena]

This organ is impressive but none of it resists Jonathan. Congrats on this performance Jonathan!! Thank you both for bringing such incredible instruments, performances and places to our homes!! ❤😘😘

[@clarification007]

Great organ and superb shooting with the multi-camera shooting; well edited!👌

[@deborasilsagomes]

Hard to say what's bigger in this video, because everything I've seen and heard is great. From the magnificent grand cathedral party organ, the legendary composer Beethoven and as always, the spectacular organist Jonathan and wonderful images of his brother Tom. All in my high regard. Congratulations!❤🎶👍🌹🙌🙋🏻‍♀️

[@davidphillips3090]

Another excellent performance. Bravo! Thank you Jonathan and Tom.

[@can_do_nz2272]

Jonathan and Tom such a wonderful arrangement. Thank you so much.

[@zumalot]

Proof my favorite composer's music can sound great on the pipe organ when Jonathan has a go at it. All IMHO Of course. I know he already took on the 5th. Amazing! Thanks Jonathan and Tom!

[@thedevilsreject23]

You bring these pieces to life and repertoire for piano to organ - Beethoven translates to organ so darn well- could you please do the appassionata! Any or all movements but if not please I beg you to do the third movement!!!! It would sound incredible 👏🏻👍🏻🍻👏🏻👍🏻🍻

[@Railfan6675]

Jonathan Scott, Casavant and Montreal. What a combination. Great performance, thank you!

[@georgejohnson1498]

Breath-taking! Bravo. I have played this twice if only on the double bass in the orchestra, and that is hard enough, without playing all that goes on above! Thank you and best wishes from George in Herefordshire.

[@davidharper3840]

Brilliant arrangement, very faithful to the original, and as always, a superb performance. Kudos too to brother Tom for the excellent production.

[@7649angel]

Marvellous!! Thank you so very much for sharing your gift with us.

[@mariadesa1434]

Just wonderful, and divine in Jonathan's hands! Beautiful church! Thank you both for the magnificent video!

[@mandyofmarymac]

Oh, my goodness! I can feel this. How exciting! That was a very good day for Beethoven, and the rest of us. Jonathan, this was spectacular! I've listened to it very closely several times and you simply keep out doing yourself. Thank you! XX

[@Charlie-UK]

It always lifts my spirits listening to Beethoven perfomed on such a magnificent Organ, I only wish there were more on this organ...🙂

[@irmjennings]

Fantastic!

[@soundsofmartinique]

Par quelle magie cette pièce pour orchestre symphonique peut-elle être aussi brillamment transcrite pour orgue ? Jonathan, tu m'as tenu en haleine de la première à la dernière note. Époustouflant !

[@hansbeestman7460]

Fijn dank hiervoor Hans Zwolle Nederland

[@johntiggleman4686]

I've heard this only by orchestras before. But this is fantastic! I believe Ludwig is smiling about your performance. Bravo!

[@ОксанаТолмачева-э9й]

JONATHAN SCOTT, Вы как всегда великолепны, браво !!!🌷🌷🌷

[@lesterwakefield6419]

Brilliant on every level. Phenomenal performance! The organ is so crisp (probably on large part to Tom's expertise)! Thanks so much!!!

[@brachyahumeir]

My all time favourite piece, played to perfection ❤️

[@michellelindsay5727]

Absolutely an exquisitely, masterfully, and stunningly extremely creative pipe organist that I’ve heard since Ovid Young. God Bless you Sir.❤

[@carolpredeth9866]

Wow!!! That was incredible! What a marvellous piece to choose to play on this magnificent organ Jonathan! I'm so glad to see you made time to make another of your wonderful transcriptions. It was well worth the effort. Thank you Tom for the glorious views of this organ & church - an excellent video all round! Right, time for a repeat performance now I think. I'm sure it will be 1 of many. Thanks for this boys! xx

[@miguelangelzubiriagalarza6980]

[@kateclark7250]

Welcome to this side of the world.

[@gerardbedecarter]

A beautiful arrangement and performance. Thanks, Jonathan and Tom !

[@Starginal]

I so wish to have been there when this was recorded. Would be so much more to be present and feel this instrument.

[@vestastreeb657]

Thanks so very much. ❤

[@unknowntimelord9557]

Can't wait to see the opening movement

[@NoewerrATall]

Speechless.

[@amangogna68]

One of my favorite symphony from Beethoven and amazing player !

[@43pier12]

Grazie, Maestro.

[@prairiecollectors]

Fantastic performance - thanks for sharing.

[@davidreifsnider4609]

👏👏👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰Since you were in Canada, wish you would have slipped down to the Atlantic City Boardwalk Organ and done a Concert . It has been and still is being renovated.

[@peternaryd_operasinger]

Absolutely amazing Jonathan! 😁👍👏👏👏👏👏❤️

[@paoloangeri5146]

stupenda esecuzione bravissimo complimenti

[@KalemPayment2005]

It's so beautiful

[@Byzantion1453]

I have attended many concerts in this church, but it was the first time that, thanks to you, I really saw what the organ looked like. I hope you found its reputation well justified. Serge Marcoux

[@anjasalentijn145]

Hallo! What a magnificent performance! In a beautiful church Thanks very much for the superb film and recording B B. Breathtaking . With Love from the Netherlands.

[@arnthengel]

Just wonderful.

[@willortiz3547]

I loved this wonderful and spirited performance, Johathan! Best regards, Will Ortiz

[@kscamm]

Wonderful. The mind that wrote the symphony! And the organist who arranged it for the organ. And the organist who performs it!

[@volleswerkfullorganpower249]

Absolutly fantastic

[@ludi4965]

❤❤❤❤ Merci

[@mbettu1596]

I wonder what could surprise me longer about Jonathan Scott...

[@cornwalldragon4617]

Montreal is home to many fine organs by Casavant including their opus 1 at la chapelle Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes and their magnum opus at la Basilique Notre-Dame.

[@icemyteeth15]

Powerrrr!!!!!

[@John-hr5bj]

Bravo Bravo! Standing ovation for this Beethoven Scherzo Molto Vivace. Wow, how rapid are your reflexes in changing touch pistons. No "next" toe piston as you have on a number of your organs. Thanks to Dr. Tom for his usual excellent audio/visual recording. Although you are the "star", Jonathan, remember the one who operates the recording sound board and the placement of the mikes can make the organist sound fantastic and mediocre. Be nice to Tom!! Joking aside, you two brothers work very well together.

[@gregbushman319]

Excellent! What can we expect next from this brilliant player?

[@lespolluriens]

Bravo

Amazing played👏👏👏👏

[@stefanodocvilla]

Bravissimo

[@doberski6855]

Great to see and hear the Scott Brothers are in Canada. Beautiful performance on an amazing instrument. If you have time you might want to swing through Nova Scotia and visit Xaver Varnus. I believe he has a Casavant organ at his home in Liverpool. If would be incredible to see the three of you together.

[@verdiguy]

And the splendid Eglise Saint-Pierre in Cheticamp has a lovely little 1904 Casavant as well.

[@CraigRodmellMusic]

I hate to say this, but this is the first time I have listened to a Jonathan Scott transcription, and thought that it didn't really work. The main trouble is it was difficult/impossible to properly represent the Timpani part on the organ, and that is such a distinctive part of this piece. Having it without the distinctive belt of the Timpani just really didn't work for me. That said, it was still a magnificent performance, and kudos to Jonathan for the performance and to Tom for the recording and videography.

[@wanorman2007]

I'm old enough to remember when this was the opening theme music for "The Huntley-Brinkley Report." At least, the first few bars were.

[@bhami]

US TV, NBC network, 1960s.

[@ingorichter649]

The drums (tympani) are missing for full experience of this early rock music standard. 😉 But by the way a very good transscription very well played as always. Thanks 🎹🎸

[@richardkammerer2814]

I have to apologize to Tom. Sometimes I close my eyes just to listen.

[@debsg2024]

This is how I do it, the first time I watch the video is to see the images and enjoy the scenario along with the execution. The second time is just to listen. The third time for you to fall in love. The other times it becomes an addiction to the video. hahaha... 😂

[@Marthj52]

👍

[@mattsmithlon]

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@MrNyarlthotep]

[@ABruckner8]

During the bigger sections, where timpani would be clearly defining the "duple" effect of the dotted-rhythm, you'd be better served by just playing 2 dotted-quarters in each to bring out the effect, instead of trying to play the eighth in proper context, since we can't hear it anyway.

Pure horrorshow!

[@AhDollar]

bro isn't this the same organ from the how it's made episode

[@jimshaw899]

Kinda brash, but nice. I do miss the tympani of an orchestra.

[@epincion]

Be interesting to hear it on the organ at Hull City Hall with its full complement of percussion and somewhat warmer and softer acoustic.
