🎵 MOZART Fantasia in F minor K 608 // Arundel Cathedral Organ

[@CathrynMoult]

I was there with my daugher - thank you for speaking so nicely to her and for the wonderful recital!

[@beautyinsound]

Thanks for coming! Look out for the full upload on Saturday! Is your daughter an organist in the making?

[@ElliotsTrains]

Simply a spectacular piece thank you 🙏🙏

[@dnbeckmann]

Definitely enjoy this, R! A great organ piece - played by a great organist! :-) Cheers!

[@DrpanProductions]

So mysterious and ominous for a Mozart piece. Love it!

[@andrewloose3419]

A moving performance - typically WAM! The registration is most attractive and is evocative of a mechanical clock/organ sound. I love it!

[@zaneclone]

That organ sounds wonderful ! :)

[@jimi1213]

Great voicing and technique with a beautiful organ response!

[@DavidKJohnson1988]

Love the socks!

[@pauleloidelanoy]

Wonderful performance in a beautiful acoustic !! Thanks Richard, as usual ! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@AndrewLumsden]

👍👏 Thanks for the concert on Saturday. I hope the 2 thoughtless women who were chatting through most of it until they were told to be quiet didn't come over in the recordings of the other pieces.

[@PortsladeBySea]

I hate it when people talk during concerts, or theatre performances. If they want to chat they should go in to the bar area, otherwise they should shut up 🫢🤣🥳

[@accousticdecay]

Fantastic! I enjoyed the brassy registrations.

[@markbiondolillo5562]

The Ab middle section is like a bit of Heaven. Brilliant playing, Richard!!!

[@beautyinsound]

Thank you

I had the pleasure of attending this recital, absolutely superb programme from “The Maestro “ Richard McVeigh, the acoustics totally complimented the music.

[@carmenfoster6912]

[@JamesMossop1996]

[@markbiondolillo5562]

You’re welcome!😊

[@gunnarbjorck929]

Thank you Mr mc Veigh for your inlightning that Mozart DID Wright organmusic! I Used your first presentation...and carryed it to my local organist...and he was thrilled...emidyatley started to practise...and inserted it in his concert program...and delivered!!!🤗 Fantastic!!🙏🙏

[@davidhamilton1981]

Bravo! Mozart was hardly a prolific composer for organ, but this is a belter.

[@tjwhite1963]

Very nicely done! I love your choices of registration. Bravo! ❤

[@jerrymartin79]

Thrilling! One of my favorite organ works - I was so excited to see this on your programme for the recital, and thrilled that we can enjoy this superb recording. You navigate all of its fiddly bits with such ease!! Hats off! It works so well on the organ at Arundel, wonderful colours, and I particularly enjoyed your orchestral registration in the central section. Bravo!!!!

[@pepperpig649]

So beautiful your performance made me cry

[@martym61]

Beautiful. Wonderful performance. Hope you are feeling better.

[@barbaraives4962]

Wow - that's one of the most compelling performances I've heard of this piece, Richard. Usually it loses me midway through - not this time! Bravo!

[@Weezot97]

Beautifully performed. Your mention of the Noel Rawsthorne recording resonates with me as it was one of the first organ recordings I ever purchased, and I have had the goal of learning all the pieces on that record ever since. Got the Whitlock Fanfare going but the Durufle still needs work... LOL - Thank you for your support of the organ, its literature and performers.

[@charlesodendaal4619]

Jeepers...is this beautiful. Huge fan Richard

[@beautyinsound]

Thank you!

[@magesterium2485]

This Fantasia is the more popular of the two he actually wrote. Though I do also like the other one often referred to as Fantasia in F minor/major and in some editions cited as Adagio & Fugue. Wonderful playing as ever from Richard who demonstrates all the nuances and textures this piece demands !

[@gunnarbjorck929]

Whats the other one called? 609? I would love to here the other one too..please!🙏😊

[@williamburroughs2273]

@@gunnarbjorck929 His other fantasia is in D minor, Jean Rondeau just put out an incredible performance of it on the harpsicord.

[@gunnarbjorck929]

Please🥰 Play it for me🙏🤗

[@gunnarbjorck929]

@@williamburroughs2273 i really like d-minor... My absolut favorite is 565...my first and the best!!🤗

[@gunnarbjorck929]

That one got me in the beginning...

[@tikhonbogomolets2740]

Lord Richard, I so relish your interpretation of K.608 - Methinks Mozart would approve too. I remember being smitten by E. Power Biggs playing K.608 on the huge machine in Passau.

[@gunnarbjorck929]

I have a copy...
