I had the privilege of visiting Lichen Basilica. This Basilica is AMAZING! I attended mass (3 times) to listen to this organ. To be in this space and hear the pure beauty of sounds this organ creates is speechless. I only wish I could have experienced it listening to SCOTT Brothers.

[@JohnsonDaChumplie]

Wonderfully played. I am honored to hear this beautiful music.

[@irenemuus9716]

They are replacing this type of magnificent music with junk contemporary music in the evangelical churches. It's horrible.

[@deborasgomes2022]

Jonathan climbs a mountain of keys on this grand pipe organ in this magnificent cathedral. Very beautiful music and very well played as always. A huge privilege to perform this piece on this immense musical instrument. Congratulations Jonathan and Tom. ⛰🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎵🎶

[@terryr.sublimeorganmusic]

This performance envelops you as registrations transition between thunderous intensity and graceful subtlety. Captivating! And that echo and pedal work.💥 Bravo! Thanks so much for sharing. 💐💐🎹🎶

[@user-iw5qw4nj3d]

Предрождественское чудо!!! Мира, добра, здоровья всем!!!

[@scottnyc6572]

Every number tells a story.Scott brothers duo never fails in helping tell that story in a very unique manner with unique sounds.Thank you!

[@zifron35]

Genialne!

[@markranfone6393]

Handel. Without a doubt one of the greatest composers of all time

[@patmcdermott4832]

What magnificent organ in a fabulous Basilica, Jonathan & Tom! Brilliantly played Handel, as usual, & great video from Tom. The console & pipes are a beauty to behold in themselves. Wish I could have heard it live. 🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🤩

[@martinlatal716]

very beautiful

[@myklebust2870]

Love the organ...... I've taken lessons and I'm in awe ❤❤❤❤

[@mariadesa1434]

So beautiful! Handel with Jonathan is indescribable! I love seeing your feet stepping elegantly and carefully on the pedals! Tom, your video is amazing and it's a shame there wasn't a piano for you to play together! Thank you both!

[@furstjakobderschwabe]

Einfach herrlich!

[@riaankoekemoer6079]

Mesmerizing

[@jonboz7585]

Amazing performance! Wish I was there to feel the music. Bravo, maestro!

Maestro sei straordinario! Ogni volta mi fai fare dei “viaggi” emozionanti!grazie!!!👏👏👏👏🙏

[@joestraughan3944]

Phew! That blew the doors off more than once!

[@gretchenhejazi9463]

Absolutely beautiful rendition of this piece.

[@kristiina1221]

Amazing, thank you Jonathan, I love ❤ this ❤ 🇫🇮

[@davidpaulgibson4708]

Brilliant!!!

[@anjasalentijn145]

Hallo!! Wauw a Masterpiece played by an Master on the organ always!!! We are Lucky to have you both!! Jonathan and Tom❤❤ With Love from the Netherlands.

[@peternaryd_operasinger]

Absolutely wonderful Jonathan!🤗👍👏👏👏

[@mandyofmarymac]

I'm sitting here working at my desk, listening to you play this piece, when I find myself thinking; Just how high can their I.Q.'s be? Each time I listen to one of your masterfully played rendition, I hear and feel something deeper and when I see Tom's lovely, beautifully shot videos, I'm totally in awe. As I said before, we're the lucky ones. xx

[@gregbushman319]

Superb! Stunning footwwork!

[@user-rc1ng2pb2d]

Чудо-инструмент,чудо-музыка!!! Теперь, отдельные её фрагменты поёт со сцены вся эстрада. Но,только сыгранная полностью, картину создаёт, сверкая, алмазами бесценными.

[@marcellongchamps1218]

Cette interprétation est d'une très haute qualité. C'est une joie et une très intense émotion qui nous fait vibrer à des hauteurs vertigineuses. Je commence à découvrir Handel! Quel grand compositeur ! L'écoute de cette œuvre donne des frissons et m'amène à rendre gloire à Dieu qui a donné de tels talents aux hommes. J'aime l'orgue de plus en plus. C'est l'instrument qui me donne des ravissements. Nos amis organistes m’impressionnent : c’est eux qui ont inventé le multitâche. Chaque main joue une ligne de musique, souvent sur deux claviers différents, les pieds en jouent une troisième, mettant parfois en danger l’équilibre du corps. Il faut aussi anticiper la suite, pour penser à changer les jeux de l’orgue au bon moment. Imaginez tenir une conversation philosophique, broder au petit point et giguer, tout ça en même temps. Gloire à Dieu !

[@epincion]

GF Handel and JS Bach were both born in 1685 in Germany (Halle and Eisenach) less than a month apart, they never met but were aware of each other.

[@alanatolstad4824]

Wow, Jonathan, can you describe what it feels like to be able to play such a masterpiece of an instrument? And Tom, can you describe what it feels like to document the amazing edifices that you both travel to? It boggles my puny mind to find words.

[@tims.6286]

This is the most impressive Version. Its as if the organ was solely built for this piece.

[@davidboyd7357]

Enjoyed. Deffently listen with headphones for best experience.

[@drjmansplace5174]

Love the way it's registered. Well played.

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

I have not heard this before. Lovely. Thank you!

[@user-yz1we2on3k]

What an amazing melody and implementation!!! Thank You very much!

[@lucasbi]

Just incredible!!! Oh my God, how beautiful music is and how beautiful must be the music in Heaven, this one and only who adores You, my God!!! Although I've been in Licheń Stary years ago, I don't have an opportunity to hear this organ live. It is amazing even on KZbin video. Thank you for sharing!

[@ps8437]

Wow, what a magic

[@user-mt9ww6sv4w]

Impressive leg work! Bravissimo! 👍

[@patriciacheow2898]

The contrast of tone is interesting. Love it 🎉

[@joestraughan3944]

Incredible!

[@renasouten8409]

Thank you; one of my most favourite and the registrations are phenomenal. A bit different from St Laurence’s at Ludlow!

[@EE12CSVT]

TBF I prefer Ludlow over this

[@annskinner8467]

Wow, what sounds! Terrific! ❤️🎶🎹🎹🎶❤️

[@harryhaden7238]

A wonderfull piece of music exquisitely played on a truly magnificent instrument I an I 7th heaven. Thankyou Johnathan and Tom

[@carolpredeth9866]

I love Handel's Passacaglia, it is one of my favourite pieces of music & your rendition is inspirational but that reverb is ridiculous!!! It must have been very distracting for you whilst you were playing. Beautiful video though & glorious music. That really is an amazing instrument! Thank you both for sharing. xx

[@derekbleeker4307]

Just loved it

[@mattdallisson1320]

Nice footwork!

[@scottnyc6572]

I don’t know what it is but when i listen to this it brings so many emotions..

[@bakuami-g-coda]

So beautiful!

[@VazgShah79]

Amazing performance!!!

[@hanshuijzer9694]

Oh John really formidable!!!

[@tmcarter3]

Absolutely beautiful music... I have always enjoyed the Passacaglia's in all their variations; and in true fashion you take this piece and polish it like a beautiful piece of gold! Thanks for your music.

[@ntraha]

wonderful 😀😀😀

[@user-pw3tr1xg2x]

An impressive highlight of the memorable Lichen Basilica Concert. I like how you incorporated reference to all the Instruments. Good to hear it again. Thank you Jonathan.

[@miriamcaraquitena]

Impressive!!❤

[@mariuszmazek3541]

Super

[@deetrix]

Healing music

[@exploreit3548]

power-full 💯💥

[@peteacher52]

I wonder if the Basilica authorities would consider having acoustic clouds installed, of the type that could be rolled out for organ recitals then rolled in again afterwards. It is a pity that the magnificence of this instrument is readily lost in a huge wave of reverberation.

[@davidstewart4570]

Yes, I quite agree. There's no doubt that reverb in cathedral settings nearly always enhances liturgical music and the sound of great organs, but here it is very excessive and floods the aural experience detrimentally.

[@zenafisher9138]

I dunno, I enjoy the reverb, I mean it’s overwhelming and sometimes physically hurts but it’s like being in the eye of a storm, you can’t fight it and must simply succumb!

[@kishascape]

Nah the reverb is part of the experience. A good organist will work with it and adapt the music to fit without overwhelming. Many organists today don't have that skill and just swamp out a sea of noise.

[@zenafisher9138]

@@kishascape yes of course, someone like Varnus will wait for the reverb to finish. I think it looks showy. Unfortunately I think many of the recordings go on here don’t pick up the true listener experience, recording from a mic far from the section of pipes in play and picking g up reverb not music. It’s been my experience at recitals with very large instruments that one needs to choose seats wisely.

[@deetrix]

They used to heal the literal masses through the frequency output. Like this was old world medicine and tech

[@lorenzoarmellin3046]

Congrats 🎊🚀🤙

[@literaine6550]

Oh my, sublime!!

[@robertheed7345]

EN mäktig orgel som utnyttjas bra avJOHAN TROTS på gräns till över syrning vid inspelning

[@dhey007]

I loved the reverb! Just wish I could be there to hear it in person!

[@OperaNut]

Gorgeous!

[@epincion]

Great transcription but it would have been best heard in the room given the huge reverb in that building.

[@bhami]

Yes, it's an insanely live space.

[@amangogna68]

Great music and amazing organist !

[@firstnamelastname9013]

👏👏👍👍

[@joestraughan3944]

Superb!

[@LABARITONESSA]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@MuleSkinnerWS]

It seems very likely that CM Widor would've drawn his inspiration for his symphony VI Allegro from this piece.

[@pjreynoldsa1]

I wouldlike to know how many of these great organs exist worldwide?

[@johntiggleman4686]

"The King Of Instruments" indeed! You can't get the bombast like this out of any string quartets or larger orchestras (that remark may ruffle some feathers. realize I'm no musical professor or anything like that). I just know what I like.

[@rykmat2542]

This place is mad.

[@shropshirelad5317]

Never heard this before. It's a fantastic piece wonderfully played. I presume this is what Karg-Elert based his Hommage to Handel on?

[@medievalmusiclover]

Jonathan, i have a question for you. Do you use special shoos to play the pedal board?

[@joshuasanchez7577]

[@chadbeverly4926]

Does this organ have 6 manuals ?

[@pichulonco7229]

[@lajosmohai9735]

Egy kiváló orgonistától egy kiváló hangszeren egy kiváló zeneszerzőtől egy egyébként remek előadásban, de szerintem fantáziaszegény, kliséktől hemzsegő nem eredeti művet hallunk, talán kár érte. Entschuldigung!

[@EE12CSVT]

Hmm, that's far, far too wet an acoustic for a recital instrument. Certainly suitable for accompaniment and professionals.

[@pauloricardohandrak1745]

this is absurd

[@joestraughan3944]

Amazing!
