Thank you for your efforts to bring joy, beauty and hope!

[@deborah85728]

After such a sad few days those fabulous base notes reverberating through my body were so reassuring, , there is hope there is something so much greater than all the worldly strife and spite Amen 🥰

[@RalphLooij]

It always astonishes me how well Guilmant could take up an existing piece and totally made it into his own. Very well played, I like the full use of the different reeds. Thanks!

[@pastorlarrypotts8289]

Magnificent! Thank for offering your gift to us!

[@philippepierrevernier2800]

Beautiful..thanks to you Jonathan and Tom for that magnific moment....

[@peternaryd_operasinger]

Thank you so much for this Jonathan!😁👍👏👏👏👏👏❤

[@iankemp1131]

A fine performance, and a particularly spectacular visual effect of coupling, seeing maybe 30 or 40 keys activating on the keyboard from Jonathan's 10 fingers (and 2 feet)!

[@richardvoran5514]

Perfect instrument for this grand piece of music. Beautifully played, and beautifully filmed!

[@lesterwakefield6419]

Magnificent piece played masterfully on a great organ. I'm always amazed at the sound quality in a massive building through my tiny ear pieces. Great job Scott Brothers!

[@davidwilliams9326]

Fantastic as always

[@annie7264]

Bravo! 👍👍👏👏🥰🥰

[@patchesmunchkin]

Oh, WOW!

[@dominionlad8468]

The perfect instrument for this spectacular Guilmant opus. Oh, to be in the nave to hear this in person.

[@davidmace3716]

Wonderful performance Jonathon of one of my favourite pieces of the organ repertoire, many many thanks for all the pleasure that you and Tom have brought us during these trying times with your online recitals. I wish you both well for the future.

[@katydickson5547]

WOW!!! What a fantastic Cathedral and such beautiful stained glass windows with such superb music being played.

[@34Arran]

One of my favourite organ works, played superbly on a wonderful romantic organ. I had this piece of Guilmant played before my ordination thirty years ago.

[@alanatolstad4824]

The enormity of the great cathedrals is almost incomprehensible to me. I saw a documentary once, on the making of them. But then to see the ruined examples in Scotland and Ireland, the shame of it. And, to see a living example on a trip to Cincinnati had me so choked up with emotion, I had to leave the edifice to compose myself.---Thank-you both for sharing. This is a safe place for me to appreciate your work.

[@hansgunnarhalmerius2368]

Magnificent piece, magnificent playing. Thank!

[@donaldstanfield8862]

Amazing to see the couplers in action! Hope you will play at York Minster sometime.

[@jannoble3123]

Lovely and inspiring! Many Thanks!

[@gerardbedecarter]

Beautiful playing, Jonathan. Thanks, also, Tom, for the video.

[@stevehickingy9695]

Bravo, a wonderful performances.

[@eagleeyes7255]

A master piece ❤️😇

[@OperaNut]

My favourite Guilmant piece, played superbly - just wonderful.

[@Ulli_G._aus_D.]

Brilliant und opulent vorgetragen, einfach fantastisch!

[@LeonCouch]

Jonathan, I always enjoy your performances. You have a great sense of the symphonic style and find the best places to show us! You always post good playing. Thus, I'm disappointed to see that some 12 people of about 800 viewers of this video put a "thumbs down": What the hell? Maybe a lot of envious organists! Keep up the good work.

[@johnhenryholiday4964]

You will never satisfy everkbody.... and.... there are those that want to dis the performer to draw attention to themselves..... One time I saw a review of a rolls royce phantom..... the writer said it was just "shoddy junk" and that it wasn't worth buying..... it was obvious that the writer had never ridden in a rolls let alone own one.... i.e. an impostor.....

[@Hahnemaniac]

Cool to see set of keys "playing by themselves"! And THANK YOU for showing what the feet are doing. Playing with both hands AND both feet at the same time takes a huge amount of brain power!!

[@DonPedro6901]

What a massive organ! Sound excellent!

[@quoniam426]

That organ looks funky with thos panels, linda like a space ship.

[@cuiti78]

Awesome!!!!!

[@mattbod]

Lovely: Quoirin seems to be the builder de jour in France at the moment.

[@Rosecrus]

YES! Thank you so much for this!! I have waited patiently for it and it was worth the wait.

[@7CieGrim]

It’s great to hear you playing on this magnificent organ once more (I attended your concert in Evreux a couple of years ago). I love paying this organ whenever I can! Can’t wait to invite you in Louviers when the great organ is restaured, even though we still have to wait until 2023!

[@RobertZat]

Jonathan and Tom, thank you so very much for another spectacular audio and visual performance. Truly magnificent in every way!

[@7649angel]

Majestic! Thank you

[@jacofeneysey1679]

Wow wow wow wow. There are no words to decribe how this music, the performance and video made me feel, the emotions, WOW. Thanks so very much!!!

Congratulazioni grande 👍 musica d’organo 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🎹🎼🎹🎼🎹🎼🎹🎼🎹🎼🎹🎼

[@kamilmadon5240]

Bravo!!!

[@BarneyLeith]

Wonderful!

[@peterallison5021]

That's my number 1 favourite short piece of organ repertoire ( the other being The Whitlock Sonata). I first heard it played on the organ of Giggleswick school chapel in the 1980's and the best recording I have is the late John Scott playing it at St Pauls, in London. Well done for a superb rendition

[@scottnyc6572]

It’s a miracle this cathedral even survived through WW-II.

[@quoniam426]

In the Middle Ages, it was a cursed cathedral, it got burnt down several times during the Hindred Years War. That's why the choir is higher than the nave, it is more recent, in Flamboyant Gothic style.

[@scottnyc6572]

@@quoniam426 intriguing!!Thank You!! When you say burned down does that mean total destruction of stonework as well?

[@jacoboVE_Cultura]

WOW Realmente espectacular, demostracion de la grandeza de la música con y para el órgano. Fantastica y magistral interpretación. 👏👍💖

[@johnhenryholiday4964]

Bravo Maestro.... an absolutely amazing piece .... IT JUST SOARS INTO THE STRATOSPHERE.... I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW WHAT REEDS YOU USED.....

[@nairbismelgarejo5691]

Lindíssimo!Divino!

[@MatthewWilson83]

That suspended chord at 5:46 is just wonderful.

[@andreakroll4940]

Fantastic, I love the modern design in the old cathedral👍👍

Великолепно

[@bukibalint3292]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@DSolymanH]

How do you gain access to these instruments? I assume not any one can just sit down and try their hand at these machines.

[@vinyalonde]

As always, a great performance and really interesting camera work. Have you any plans to use a drone or is the technology not quite there yet? I suppose they are noisy so that could rule them out altogether.

[@peterallison5021]

A drone was used in St Clotilde with the titular playing "Piece Heroique"

[@PeteGunstone]

What sort of stop is the Bombarde Acoustique 32’? Great playing as ever - very enjoyable!

[@mudgebauer]

Such a beautiful cathedral, great playing and the organ sounds wonderful. BUT that Pascal Quoirin organ looks horrible. Why would the make such a modern'e looking organ in such a beautiful historic cathedral. It looks very much out of place. They should have KEPT the original façade of the old organ and use as much of the old pipes as possible without destroying the ambiance of the historic cathedral.

[@epincion]

Au contraire - I like the design a lot

[@davidmace3716]

Totally agree, looks completely alien to the rest of the building, nice tonal qualities, but that case, ugh.

[@melaniechesnel9094]

very french, just wait and see what they do with Notre Dame!

[@plasticraincoat1]

Fantastic playing! But I wonder 💭 what the lack of thought was behind the 6 stops of the pedal section??? Also it’s a very harsh instrument... I think it needs more mellow voicing to balance the very brash reeds.

[@jeanzahlen2369]

I am a great fan of Scott but here I don‘t agree at all. The fugue is of course played very much too fast, and the final theme could be more heartbreakingly majestic , so also a little bit slower and the theme not detached but in linked notes. It is a kitschi peace of organ, so dare go to the end and not be afraid of people saying it is schmaltz, or slushy. I stand to these critics and play the piece to the Maximum.
