Organist goes Crazy! The Worlds Fastest Organist

Get ready to witness the most mind-blowing, heart-pounding performance you've ever seen! Brace yourself for the electrifying rendition of The Old Pianna Rag, played by the incredibly talented Robert Wolfe on the Mighty Wurlitzer theatre organ at the Thursford Collection in Norfolk, UK.
Robert Wolfe is a true master of the theatre organ, recognized worldwide for his exceptional skills and musicality. His sheer artistry and undeniable talent have earned him a well-deserved place among the top British organists.
At the astonishing age of just sixteen, Robert made history by becoming the youngest musician ever to join the prestigious team of organists at the legendary Tower Ballroom in Blackpool. Three years later, in 1981, he was personally invited to become organist in residence at the Thursford Collection, near Fakenham in Norfolk.
Prepare to be captivated by "The Thursford Experience," a sight and sound extravaganza that has gained fame locally, nationally, and internationally. From the early days of spring to the late autumn, Robert mesmerizes audiences seven days a week with his infectious warmth and his unparalleled ability to combine meticulous precision with interpretative sensitivity.
Robert's extraordinary talent has not gone unnoticed by the media. His music is frequently featured on BBC Radio 2, and he has even graced the television screen with his awe-inspiring performances. One of the highlights was when he played live for The National Lottery, reaching an audience of approximately 20 million people who were left in awe of the magnificent sounds emanating from the Wurlitzer organ at Thursford.
So sit back, relax, and get ready to be blown away by the incredible talent of Robert Wolfe. With his permission, we proudly present this unforgettable performance that will leave you breathless.

I've had the pleasure on many occasions of watching Robert Wolfe playing live, at Thursford and at many other venues across the UK. Not only is he an amazing theatre organist (in my personal opinion the best), but he's a very nice and kind man too. Here's why: I play the organ myself (obviously not to his standard!). At one of Robert's concerts I spoke to him in the interval and asked him about a particular part of his technique, and how he achieves the effect that he gets (it's a sort of left hand waving sweep up the keys, used in slower pieces). Not only did he explain it to me, he walked me back to the organ with him and actually demonstrated it to me. I don't know how many artists would take the time to do that for a fan, but it meant a lot to me, and shows us all just what a class act he is. This was at Ashorne Hall in Warwickshire, on a Compton organ. I think the venue closed in 2004, so this was quite a while ago, when I was in my twenties.

hi ian he did the same with me some years ago he showed how everything worked even showed me in the chambers too

[@ianhowlett4682]

@@meepanderson3617 Wow, you were really lucky! That sounds fantastic.

[@megaswenson]

At one point, I was expecting the organ either to explode, or to lift off the stage and go into orbit.

[@OrganMusicYT]

I've played a few digital organs which can't deal with being played like this! This one is the real deal, still on it's workings from the early 1930s, and as you can see, it works like lightning!

[@genekinnick2174]

It's been several months since I last listened to this, and have listened to a lot of other great organists in the meantime, but Robert Wolfe and this instrument remain at the top of my most memorable viewing / listening experiences. I kindly thank those responsible for bringing it to us, and am thrilled each time I listen and watch. Mr. Wolfe has earned our great respect for his very impressive talent.

[@OrganMusicYT]

Gene Kinnick kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zl69lqWOosSrq7c - This one is even faster than this one!

[@tammyjc15]

Hugely impressive but the final chord is breath-taking!

[@angelsone-five7912]

Knowing a bit about the mechanics of these organs I`m just surprised that the instrument manages to keep up with the player! lol

[@OrganMusicYT]

It's on the original action too! We've known Allens to give up and stop working with waterfalling that has been nowhere near as fast as this.

[@genekinnick2174]

Cannock Chase Organ Club Toward the end of the final flourish I hear what sounds like glass breaking. Is that an effect produced by Mr. Wolfe at the organ? Just curious. Thanks, and my compliments!

[@OrganMusicYT]

Gene Kinnick the sound you describe at the end is the combination of all the reiterating percussions such as the glockenspiel and sleigh bells being turned on.

[@genekinnick2174]

Thank you. It was difficult for me to discern on my poor sound system, but I knew I was hearing something very lovely, dazzling and complimentary at just the right moment. The talent of Mr. Wolfe coupled with this powerful instrument has been such a pleasure to watch and listen to! Thank you for bringing them to all of us.

[@Tom-Lahaye]

A tracker organ would die when played so violent, or your fingers would loose from the organ instead!

[@michaellecaplain3377]

That's absolutely insane! I witnessed Robert playing suitably railway-esque music on the Wurlitzer at Thursford years ago in front of a huge screen showing steam locomotives at speed. I can remember being utterly mesmerised. Guy's a genius.

[@flash178]

I was watching video's on RC cars doing sweet jumps and now I am here, Once again well played internet....Well played.

[@JustPastAlaska]

I'm going to go look at RC cars doing sweet jumps. The internet giveth.

[@chriswilson2431]

Having seen Robert Wolfe live, I can concur that he really is probably the best there is when it comes to getting a Wurlitzer to dance. Such a talented musician

[@charlesthevoice1064]

When my friend was waiting outside to play but I still had to finish my piano lesson before I could go out. 1:51

[@syhooverman5418]

Ive seen this VERY talented guy play many times and not just at Thursford. I did see him in his early days at Thursford and that got me and my now late parents interested

[@tenthreeleader]

Remarkable work. I've seen organists switch keyboards before (Phil Kelsall is a master at it) but this gave me chills. Thanks for this post!

This is an absolute treat to watch,so whilst ive been playing my uke at the Wintergardens all these years,I probably could have had the chance to hear this fantastic musician on a legend of an organ.Brilliant stuff !

I put this on for the Mrs as I got in bed last night for a quick 5 mins of comedy and when it finished I had a real crap nights sleep. This is awesome during the daytime

[@danumfestival6974]

I think it's fair to say that his training at the Tower Ballroom went a long way to making Robert one of the all time greatest interpreters of this instrument. I don't think there is a single Blackpool organist who hasn't become a theatre organ virtuoso. They might be American built machines, but Blackpool UK is the Wurlitzer's spiritual home!

You're having way too much fun. Thanks for sharing.

[@MegaFPVFlyer]

Probably my single favorite organ performance ever recorded. I'm as tone deaf as a block of rotten wood, but if i ever learn how to play the piano/organ, this is how I'll do it. Fast, energetic, and showy! I adore performances where you can tell the musician is having a blast.

[@OrganMusicYT]

It is pure showmanship. Some here in the comments section have slated it, but it takes an enormous amount of energy to play like this, as well as keeping your timing, and still hitting keep things on track.

[@MegaFPVFlyer]

@@OrganMusicYT If they don't like it, they can go watch someone else! That's what I do if I don't like somebody's style. I hope the nasty comments (which will always show up given enough popularity) haven't discouraged Robert or anyone else involved in this channel.

[@legoreviewwarrior]

That really blew my mind

[@zachlafleur6651]

That is the awesome thing about theater organs, they can be made to sound like a piano, or just about any instrument in a band or orchestra! Also, all of the available sound effects, in these, when compared to a church pipe or electronic organ! I used to think that the only difference between church and theater organs was in how much (if any) unification there is, and whether it is pipes, oscillators, or analog or digital memory, but the main differences are whether you have special effects or not!
