Who needs an orchestra when we have Jonathan Scott???

[@rudymummey5432]

No one in the world better at what they do than these brothers.

[@tony1961chl]

Es imposible el que no te salten las lágrimas de emoción al escuchar los sonidos de éste bellísimo y monumental instrumento,gracias.

[@georgewilson9553]

Please, Jonathan, please come to the United States for a concert tour. I would love to see you perform in person!

[@KingdaToro]

This. We've got the two largest organs in the world, and they're only 56 miles apart!

[@miriamcaraquitena]

[@francovisser8873]

[@gloriastiehl2905]

[@nta1902]

Simply superb!

[@jeanmatlock370]

Great performance... always like this song..... thanks for the video

[@williamjayaraj2244]

Pipe organ music and the hymns go hand in hand so beautifully well. A gift of God.

[@bryangl1]

Willam. It's not a hymn but a chorus piece from an opera.

[@brianlaywood747]

Brian Laywood These uploads are so good for those of us who are not fortunate to attend a live performance, keep 'em coming Jonathon, you make it look so easy!!

[@francovisser8873]

Extraordinary yet again!

[@mariaines6076]

Belíssima

[@shaneodonnell7093]

Bravo 👏

[@fragbitehej]

Thank you, I love it! More by Verdi please! If you record a Verdi CD, I would buy ten of them.

[@charleskesner1302]

Wonderful!

[@irkibby]

I was always mystified by the digital displays above the top manual. Used to think they showed how much wind there was but today I've figured out they're to show where the swell pedals are!

[@Offshoreorganbuilder]

No missing those hammer blows on the anvil! Thanks for the upload.

[@Ken_Weber_organist]

you kidding me? If you sat Jonathan a the bench of a theater organ, guarantee you Jonathan would find some trap stops to replicate the hammer blows

[@КапитанВладивосток]

Your chanel is gold.

[@ARFRC1]

For a little more fun. In the settings, change the speed to 1.25 and it sounds a little more like the actual composition. At least that is my opinion. or if you are on the wild side, crank the speed full throttle and get a good laugh.

[@stefaniap4736]

Dziękuję.

[@Wanamaker1946]

Come to Philadelphia and perform on the Wanamaker organ.

[@MrRexquando]

Wicked!

[@АнтонинаХоменко-у9ц]

Отличная!! Александр Одессит

[@patricksmart5673]

I have performed this with the choir, but to sound this good we'd need at least 100 voices.

[@hubaibhabib7060]

Bra Vo

[@williamjayaraj2244]

Thank you Bryan Leech.

[@radiorexandy]

Well I did give you a "like" but maybe you should have had your brother Tom striking an anvil in the background :-) not quite the same without an actual Anvil going on!

[@KingdaToro]

Better yet, an "anvil strike" stop in the organ's percussion section.

[@saltpetre5534]

[@geraldabbott8640]

Where is the Victoria Hall?

[@JBridges1092]

Hanley, Staffordshire UK

[@e.c.9468]

I prefer the Glenn Miller version. This one is well played but too much changes from the original...

[@dirkhoekstra727]

Great, but it is a little bit slow.

[@organbuilder272]

How fast can you swing a 16 pound blacksmith's hammer??? Just at about this speed.

[@jpstenino]

Dirk you are out of your league
