In those nimble fingers and flashing feet, I could just imagine the swelling tide as it rushed into the confined space of the cave and blew out through the blowhole and then receded, to repeat once more........what a truly electrifying experience! Jonathan, you're a legend!

[@jean-pierrehericher4011]

Bonjour admirable organisme et immense virtuose

[@GaryGP40]

One of my favorites by Mendelssohn! Bravo! Thank you for the hard work to make this music come alive!

[@joshuasanchez7577]

BRAVO! BRAVO!! BRAVISSIMO!!!

[@shin-i-chikozima]

The organ playing of this masterpiece is irreplaceable , and wonderful , and full of admiration and emotion From A corner of cherry blossoms scented Tokyo

[@OldPannonian]

Talk about control of the organ. Jonathan really practised his scales. Thoroughly.

[@PabloMoralesDaal]

Magnificent registration and balance. Absolutely brilliant ☺️

[@alteisenfahrer]

brillant! DEcades ago I did restore a self playing "Aeolian orchestrelle" big reed organ and one of the paper rolls was that ouverture and that reminds me to that instrument

[@OldPannonian]

This melts my heart. It removes bitterness, fear, sadness, hopelessness. What a wonderful way to be purified by the sacred fire of music!

[@roelofvandermerwe1147]

There used to be a version of Fingal Caves on KZbin that was absolutely supreme in its imitation of the orchestra sound and now it's gone

[@kaloarepo288]

Sublime - I would love to visit Staffa's cave with this music on my headphones!

[@janetturner7489]

My all time favourite piece of music, thank you!

[@samshearman5251]

Great work

[@KSL1972LLC]

Absolutely love that roar from the reeds starting at about 9:15. Just enough to raise the hairs on the back of your neck.

[@miriamcaraquitena]

Que belleza de música para este órgano tan original como espectacular!! La arquitectura de esta catedral, sus vidrieras, la luz, la sonoridad del recinto...todo en su conjunto es sublime!! Gracias una vez más por compartir y felicidades a los dos!!💖👏👏👏😘😘

[@mandyofmarymac]

I'm visualizing that cave as I listen. How relaxing. How lovely. Thank you Jonathan & Tom.

Non è solo questione di fare commenti con più che meritati aggettivi di merito, per me si tratta di ricevere......molto. Ancora grazie.

[@betsystrachan2951]

Loved that. Special

[@markyale6953]

my grandfather arranged this for an accordion symphony orchestra (family based with students i have a recording from about 1964 and it was awesome i have it on mp3 now :)

[@samshearman5251]

Fantastic!

[@susanhughes8970]

I’ve always loved organ music and this is amazing and your footwork is outstanding Jonathan...

[@garryritter4220]

Truly fantastic. Jonathan, I don't know how you do it. You certainly take advantage of every instrument in the orchestra and you are a master conductor. We do love you! Many thanks for keeping all of us richly entertained during this difficult CoVid time. Be safe and stay well.

[@lucyyoung77777]

Fantastic! "For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them." (Luke 10:24)

[@johnfranks9602]

Yet another fantastic rendition of a great work, using perfect arrangement of stops, the amount of effort from both of you is really appreciated.

[@davidrushforth7896]

an arrangement of great skill. beautifully played. One of many stand out performances from the 2020 series and an inspired choice to take us foward into the new year,

[@MrRemi1802]

Congratulations ! That's excellent work. You truly have talent for arrangements.

[@MarkUKInsects]

My first though was that was a major orchestral piece, this will not work. Then I remembered this is Mendelssohn, yes this will be amazing on the organ

[@mandyofmarymac]

PS My family is from Scotland, so I love anything to do with our homeland.

[@njspanteach]

You spoil us! Thank you!!

[@m5di1k3scj]

Beautiful interpretation!

[@Rosecrus]

Thank you so very much. Although I love all the wonderful uploads of Jonathan's, I have been hoping for Guilmant's March upon Handel's "Lift up your heads" from Évreux Cathedral. Love that piece. Who knows? Maybe next? :))

[@deegl]

This is such a marvelous instrument. If I was rich and immortal, I would own a church and an organ. Hehe

[@jemybaldovinovelasco6382]

😍😍😍

[@jacoboVE_Cultura]

WOW Jonathan superb piece on an extraordinary Quoirin organ, greetings from Spain.

[@epincion]

If you haven't yet watched the whole concert from Évreux you should as its an absolute wonder.

[@jacoboVE_Cultura]

@@epincion Thank you for informing me. I will try to see the entire Évreux concert. I was really impressed by the wonderful sound of the organ Quoirin Thank you and a big hug from Spain.

[@lesbennett18]

A great boost in the covid chaos.

[@VoxAngelica8]

[@dirkhoekstra727]

[@rowanlidbury]

Top skills, but robotic in nature. It lacks the reality of a live performance. Over engineered and over produced. You've done so much better, don't become another CC. I'm sorry, but this one gets a thumbs down.

[@josephlindquist506]

Blow it out your nose
