MOZART - MARRIAGE OF FIGARO 'OVERTURE' - ORGAN SOLO (ARR. JONATHAN SCOTT)

[@tomtheriault4589]

I’ve watched this performance many times as I’m a BIG Mozart fan, and each time I am more dazzled by Jon’s talent and mastery of the organ. WOW and double wow!

[@gen-zhippie2203]

This man really just did the work of an entire orchestra all by himself

[@g-man2351]

Well, THAT IS what this instrument for.

[@danieler8410]

That's what organists do

[@gen-zhippie2203]

@@danieler8410 Guys I know, I've played the organ at different churches for years now. I was just commenting on how impressive it is, especially at this level. I could never dream of playing a piece with that much complexity

[@cannedmusic]

@@gen-zhippie2203 He did a truly grand job.

[@raquelvasquez5152]

You got that right😦

[@victoriaballard7354]

Who would have ever figured this overture on an organ? I think Mozart would have been impressed.

[@chrishoo2]

Victoria Ballard I would love to bring Mozart to that hall, it would look like the moon to him, then the music would surprise him & I’m absolutely sure that he would be delighted!

[@KingdaToro]

@@chrishoo2 Or even better, bring Bach to Boardwalk Hall and sit him down at the console of the 33,000 pipe Midmer-Losh organ!

[@wontondragon7139]

Hearing this piece on organ, even though the sheet music wasn't intended for it, kinda makes me second guess if this was written by Mozart or Handel

[@patrickblaney1675]

The genius of the Scott Brothers isn't limited to Jonathan Scott's outstanding command of the keyboards. It includes the choice of great instruments on which to perform, the arrangement of the piece including the choice of organ stops and outstanding sound recording of a hard-to-capture instrument in a difficult acoustic environment. The brothers excel at all aspects of capturing phenomenal performances and preserving them for the ages. Thank you for your gift!

[@neliborba9030]

He is playing a whole orchestra with two hands. Beautiful!

[@epincion]

and two feet

[@lvchoralman]

Two hands, yes, but don't forget his flashing feet. :-)

[@meheaton1]

He also has toe studs that change registrations without using the hands.

Black and white? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 😜👍🇨🇭

[@ivand4894]

If I'm not mistaking, Jonathan doesn't even use tablature for this performance. Too fast to read probably haha

[@jamzee_]

The actual song paper is rather... underwhelming... if you play the piano only

[@SodyPiano]

0:40 What an epic glissando on pedal

[@macbaar]

Like ice skating.... he is dancing .... no caressing the pedals... 👍👍👍🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🇨🇭

[@chrisredseadiver1854]

I'm absolutely blown away. What a brillant musician. How much effort of many years must it has been, to come to this level. With this perfect technik, performed with extraordinary passion, he cherished the hymn of genius Mozart in a special and wonderful way. And in heaven, Wolfgang smiles and makes a bow for Jonathans talent.

[@drdylanman]

How amazing to hear a piece that was written for a full orchestra played with such the same full sound by only ten fingers and two feet!!!

[@tyrikuntamed4206]

If Johnathan Scott isn’t the best organist ever then I don’t know who is💯💯

[@GabrieldiSouzza]

It's incredible. The organist is an orchestra of one person.

[@Offshoreorganbuilder]

The music of one musical genius, played by another. Wonderful performance.

Prachtig orgel en een zee r goede organis. Bij mij is er veel geruis bij, helaas

[@snackdaddy4128]

A very talented musician playing the work of one of the greatest composers ever. Nice!

[@alisonbuckley3080]

Perfection is the standard we've come to expect from Jonathan Scott, and this is no exception. Tom's skilful filming gives us a bird's eye view of what goes into delivering such a performance.

[@bladesxl]

Epic performance and great transcription. My wife and I had this as the recessional at our wedding!

[@cinnamonstickler7365]

This is powerful!! I absolutely love it! Mozart would be very proud.

[@ale1667]

Yeah

[@jaymemangano1154]

This fantastic "Classic Smooth 🎼 Musical !

[@dad675]

I am going through, with the utmost pleasure, all the videos I can find of The Scott Bothers recordings. The dexterity and the quality of recording is superb. My only regret is that I will never see you guys live (I'm72). I profoundly regret that the Durban (South Africa) Willis organ has been abandoned and neglected by our municipality. It was rebuilt in the 1970's by the son (maybe great grandson) but now is missing pipes (I believe stolen) and is rotting away. I so regret not getting to know the Willis fellow and his family from England living in my flat complex while he was working on the organ because I could have got into the loft and seen all the glory of the magnificent instrument. It wont be long before the casework is chucked out. I weep. I do not have an update of the Pietermaritzburg City Hall organ. Last I heard there was only one guy keeping it tuned and working. Our new culture does not provide for these classics.

[@karlbraun9564]

No one controls the organ better than Jonathan Scott.

[@MUBARIZALIYIV]

Yes yes, Scott ATLANT yes. /J ol Jinpingin Jisis.

[@shin-i-chikozima]

This familiar masterpiece is comfortable to the ears and the mind due to his splendid performance

[@rubberduckization]

Never heard this on organ before. *applause*

[@nigelt4257]

Outrageously brilliant! Fantastic arrangement, sublime musicianship and understanding of Mozart's original, and the most mind boggling technique (including the pedal trills at 3:58). Congratulations. This is one of my favourite organ performances. And it's at Bridgewater Hall, a place I've conducted many times. Great venue, great organ.

[@timparker7263]

Just "Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" One of my most favourite pieces of music played to perfection.

[@ThisFish888]

It blows my mind knowing that a single human being is capable of playing something as complex as this.

[@isaactrefz9744]

Just practice, and you can do it.

[@eskertoo]

I am no musician...at school I struggled with the recorder.But I watch this man and I am in absolute awe of his genius.

[@davef.2811]

Too bad the house is empty for this one, he would have gotten a long, standing ovation for that great performance.

[@jackzimmerman1367]

Would love to see him live

[@MrBanzoid]

Wow! Thermonuclear arrangement and superb playing.

[@mmmmmmm4269]

There is only one volume at which this can be listened to properly to be fully appreciated, and that is loud. With the bass turned up and feel it reverberating, you feel as if you are in the hall itself! This was a truly magnificent performance!

[@dad675]

Living in an apartment I cannot bring up the volume. Recently invested in some Sony Bluetooth noise cancelling headphones. This has opened up another world. And what an introduction! I must now return to the other Scott recordings and enjoy a thousand fold. Thank you guys. The organ is a very hard instrument to record. I can now even hear the pneumatic opening of the pipes on occasions. Brilliant. Credit to you both and your team as well as the superb organ builders around the world. Sadly where I live, our magnificent Willis organ has been let to decay by the municipality and will probably never be voiced again due to theft of the pipes and "no money" to maintain. I could weep.

[@arcana830]

Wow seeing this in 2020! Best thing I’ve seen his year. Incredible talent. Bravo. 👍

I always salute people who can play the organ this well. Simply make a comparison of piano and organ, pianists seem nothing to be honest. Organ requires foot to play bass line, 4 layers of keys of different dynamic, have to decide which dynamic range, setting while playing etc, which most pianists hardly understand.

[@christarbard4958]
