As both Classical Orchestra and Pipe Organ lover, I am astoundef by Jonathan Scott's virtuosic ability to recreate 19th century maximum orchestral "turbulence" challenge---- brilliantly! However, I must say that I enjoy so much, all, on the Grand Pipe Organ, but I also enjoy, and, a lot, being surprised by the music of unknown composers from all epochs. Even the most insignificant, never-to-be-known composers have written "gems"! When I go to listen to Music, I go enjoy it, not to criticize it, the composer, or the performer! I go with my spirit open to anything and everything! Thank you so much to all i volved! P.S.: The Toccata in F by the not well-known 19th century French Composer, Grissant(sic?) is a WOW!!

[@davidcraggs3770]

Astounding performance Jonathan, you are amazing to listen to and watch. I’m pleased that the Roman Catholic Church financed the restoration of this superb organ. (Unlike in Hull)

[@tonyashbridge2910]

This man could make orchestras redundant. The sounds he produces are just stunning. And what a fabulous organ.

[@Wanamaker1946]

Busoni and Leopold Stokowski were great transposers of the last 150 years.....until this young man came along. Happy happy pieces.

[@n6mz]

How have I never heard of Jules Grison? What a phenomenal piece and a fantastic interpretation! THANK YOU!!

[@berthar.shewman9921]

I just awakened. What a wonderful treat first thing in the morning.

[@woltz1000]

One tends to run out of superlatives when listening to these concerts so a simple thanks once again to Jonathon and Tom will have to do. Uplifting as always.

[@DavidBarela]

Watching and listening to Mr. Scott is like taking an organ lesson in technique and registration. Mister Scott is an organist’s organist.

[@mudgebauer]

Thats Maestro Scott, if you please.

[@geminian7846]

A listener's organist, too. (And a jolly fellow, to boot!) These on-line recitals are an unexpected bonus of the Covid crisis. Hugely enjoyed in this neck of the woods. Congratulations, and many thanks.

[@janetsimmons5264]

Thank you. Have lots to think about and do. Calmed my soul and will cope to carry on. A grand ending Swan Lake. Love it. Thank you, always. Love Janet xxx

[@hermannmiddeke9934]

What else should I say: regardless the perfection, it touches my heart. I am very very thankful.

[@OrganNLou]

I continue to be amazed by the treasures Manchester houses, from its majestic buildings to its great organs!

[@organbuilder272]

You might add - it's abandoned mills, great chimneys, if any are left, and foundries

[@rbk2745]

The sound of this organ is fabulous but the art of the pipes are really impressive. About the brothers it is the same, they are fantastic.

[@janetsimmons5264]

So lovely and interesting. Thank you so much. Time and talent beyond all measure. Love Janet xx

[@NaylorGraham]

Absolutely wonderful organ concert - thank you so much - and in the Church of the Holy Name, which holds so many special memories for me. Thank you so much!

[@rttipton]

Another amazing concert, great commentary and filming! Thanks to Jonathan and Tom!

[@gerardbedecarter]

A wonderful organ recital, as always. Thanks, Jonathan and Tom!

[@renasouten8409]

The Vivaldi sounds so wonderful through my hearing aids which are linked to my iPad! Bliss

[@saintexupery8406]

Infectious cheer and enthusiasm, good humor...what a delight!

[@davidtaylor1214]

How do you define a musical genius? Watch a Scott recital would help. For what they are doing to keep heart and soul together during this national emergency they deserve the highest praise and award.

[@sergemarcoux1341]

Difficult to watch the videos in a chronological order on You Tube. It is only yesterday that I had the pleasure of listening to this exceptional concert given two years ago. A fantastic choice of music in a splendid church. Thank you so much for a great evening!

[@texmustangbullitt]

Outstanding performance! Thank you Mr. Scott

[@christopherswartz7497]

Thank you please accept ourappreciation Jonathan and Tom for bringing in the "silver lining" of hope as we move through this " dark cloud." Enjoying your music in Paarl, South Africa

[@richardmathew2020]

How much I appreciated this concert, my vocabulary fails me to express. Thank you from the depths of my heart and mind.

[@hermannmiddeke9934]

so what. you are simply great!

[@debbiejohnson952]

I Love to watch u play u r so professional and know these organs u play on so well....I grew up around my cousin who built and played tuned organs and built organs for a living...u may have heard the name the Allen Organ company..He tuned organs built all over Europe 🇬🇧 all over your region....I would Love to see the newer organ structure....I Love the whole Organ history.....thank u for bringing my mind back to the good ol day's...Masses also

[@Tuscanskipper]

Thanks so much to both of you. I have spent so much time with pair of you during these difficult times. I know you have brought joy to many. I look forward to every concert. Please take care and stay safe.

[@garryritter4220]

Regardless of which majestic organ Jonathan is seated, he is a master and without doubt, the best organist I've ever heard. It's on my "bucket list" to come to UK from PA, USA to hear Jonathan and Thomas in person. Icing on the cake would be to meet personally and shake their hand. Both are wonderful to watch and hear. I look so forward to spending on-line time being treated to beautiful music by this duo. Thank you for your generosity in bring these masterpieces to the world.

[@betsystrachan2951]

Enjoyed every minute. Loved the Vivaldi especially the Largo. Thank you

[@mariadesa1434]

Beautiful concert, beautiful video and beautiful church! I also really liked the last piece that wasn't on the programme and it was wonderful! Thank you both for everything!

[@katydickson5547]

Thank you for such a wonderful concert in such a stunning and beautiful Church. I loved the stained glass windows. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@dicknyberg2924]

Det är mycket bra och bra lyhördhet för kompisionen. God bless! Nicholas

[@dicknyberg2924]

This is very Good play

[@richardsmith982]

Thank you for another wonderful concert on a great instrument. Loved the Grisson toccata - awesome.

[@magesterium2485]

The best stop on this glorious Hill organ is the acoustic ! The Organ sounds louder in the body of the Church. Fabulous playing as ever from Jonathan Scott.

[@richardvoran5514]

As always, brilliantly played and photographed! The Grison was incredible! Thank you both for doing these concerts.

[@bobpoole8497]

This is yet another amazing performance by Jonathan Scott. Special thanks to Tom Scott for the amazing audio and visual experience during the concert. Priceless!

[@hennielambrechts1891]

Never heard such a masterful rendition of the Grison toccata. Bravissimo Maestro. 👏👏👏

[@arnaldocapetto4735]

Brilhante programa, belos arranjos do duo Scott e excelente performance do Jonathan. Que o bondoso Deus abençoe os irmãos Scott.

[@annskinner8467]

Jonathan and Tom, can’t thank you enough for these wonderful concerts, they bring joy to our hearts in these troubled times ❤️❤️❤️ Can’t wait for tonight! You too, stay safe and well.

[@WeHadOneOfThose]

Another warming concert in a very uncertain world. Admiring the way you both present the best of your music and picture framing of the atmospheric surrounding of this wonderful local church . We look forward to more musical therapy for our heart & souls 👍🎹💙

[@mudgebauer]

It would be nice if you did a Christmas concert for BBC PROMS with the John Wilson Orchestra at Royal Albert Hall. Any chance?

[@obaba1928]

Dears Tom and Jonathan, this concert is a spirit lifter in so many ways, in these awkward and difficult times! Your teamwork makes these concerts a string of pure excellence! Thanks for sharing so much talent. Once more you got me blasting my studio with your music - May God bless you always! Stay safe!

[@llwdtp]

Let me add my admiration. I really like the transcriptions. They are familiar classics that sound great on the organ. And the two of you are so prolific in making these videos. I really appreciate this. The like the spoken introductions to the pieces you play provided in an unassuming way. I think you have music for sale. I am going to try to get some of it. Even if I cannot play it, I can support the work you are doing.

[@MichelangeloRossini]

Great concert. Thanks!! I see there are (till now) 5 ppl disliking this concert. I want say them that there are 2 possibilities: 1) you are aliens 2) you are idiots Not because is impossible to dislike a concert, but because you can also change video and watch something else. (Sorry for my comment, but i hate who leave dislike)

[@nagasadhu]

Brilliant! Thank you.

[@VinnieSutra]

God how I love listening (and watching) to you playing. Superb

[@rogerlewis3787]

Wonderful concert as always Jonathan and a very fine example of one of William Hill’s superb organs

[@redjohn8870]

You're the best organists of world!! 👏👏👏👏👏

[@mickbray1700]

Besides been a wonderful organist Jonathan provides wonderful information such as that about Charles Halle's funeral. The Holy Name is a great church and I am pleased to say I knew a former Parish Priest, Father Ray Matus in Swindon before he went to Manchester.

[@7649angel]

Sublime as usual. Thank you

[@peternaryd_operasinger]

Oh Jonathan! I'm longing to hear you play again!🤗👍🤩🤩

[@johnfryer5104]

Jonathan, your concerts are feeding my soul. A wonderful selection tonight and brilliantly performed. Tom, your audio and visual skills are incredible! Warm greetings to you both from Durban in South Africa, where lockdown is made so much easier with your concerts online!

[@samuelquenon259]

Chers Tom & John; Je vous ai découverts via KZbin, il y a peu. Sincèrement, ce fut une révélation; le concert de ce soir a été un moment mis à part. Merci ! Continuez à nous enchanter de vos talents. Que Dieu vous bénisse et vous protège. Samuel Quenon - Belgium

[@mudgebauer]

So say us all..

[@charlesrae3793]

The master transcriber has been at work again! Listen and marvel!

[@Rosecrus]

@@James_Bowie The best and then some.

[@Nelsup]

JSB Arioso - genius registration. The new Virgil Fox, surely.

[@mudgebauer]

Doesnt come close to Fox. Fox is a clown compared to Maestro Scott. When I was a teenager in NYC Fox caught me playing the organ in Riverside Church and slapped me across the face and told me never come there again or touch the organ. So much for mentoring a young person who loves playing the organ. Thats what I think of him to this day.

Thanks!!!

[@ginadodds2695]

Jonathan, your talks add so much to your performances--thank you! And, I have become addicted to your home concerts [LOL]. As young as you and Tom are, you have outstanding skills and personalities that are very attractive. And, the fact that you are both handsome is an unexpected bonus. I hope to visit Manchester one of these days (after the pandemic) to attend one of your concerts in person. May take a while; however, I'll look forward to it. Bellmore, NY, USA

[@eulogiojuventinofloresflor3516]

Magnífico, como siempre. Gracias Jonathan, gracias Tom. (Juventino Flores Flores, Córdoba, Veracruz, MÉXICO)

[@peternaryd_operasinger]

Hi Jonathan and Tom! Thank you for an excellent concert! I loved it! You know that I love to hear you play!🤗👍👏👏👏👏👏💖💖💖 Take care both of you! With love! Peter in Sweden!🤗💓💓💓

[@Video7Rose]

I love the sound of this organ! So far, the organs of Holy Name and Albion are my favorites, but I still have many concerts to catch up with. Thank you Jonathan and Tom! This is is a beautiful concert, with many of my favorite pieces. Jules Grison is new to me, and a composer I plan to check out further. I think I used to own a recording of Vivaldi's Lute Concerto, played by some early music society on original instruments (probably a Musical Heritage Society record), as I recognized it immediately and remember it well. Strangely, during Ave Maria, as the music was soaring and the camera was panning up toward the ceiling, (about 23:42+), I half expected the roof to lift off and float away! Music like this, played so masterfully, has an amazing effect on one's imagination!

[@vestastreeb657]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼What an inspirational concert with sound and sight. Thanks so very much, both of you.

[@johnetherington782]

Yet another great performance; look forward to the next recital!

[@geoffreyatherton4224]

Congratulations and a thousand thanks. Great concert programme and superb visuals as ever Tom

[@melaniejose1972]

Grison! Fabulous choice. Can't wait.

[@avesdors]

Superb interpretation.

[@michaelsullivan3233]

I am agog with excitement; particularly to hear the Grison ! and really ALL of your exciting programme

[@opensourceguy730]

This concert was so nice, I’m listening to it twice!

[@andrewgreenwood8554]

Only twice!

[@jorgeborrajo1631]

Maravilloso concierto gracias a la maestria del Sr. Scott con ese marco lleno de misticismo, muchas gracias...

[@coasterb1]

Thank you for sharing more great music from the organ!

[@OperaNut]

Brilliant programme! Can’t wait for this!

[@peterjharnden]

Stunning and a complete joy in every aspect. Thank you, Jonathan and Tom. Please see if you can hold another concert there soon.

[@oludotunjohnshowemimo434]

The Vox Humana stop finishes Schubert's Ave Maria very well with the tremulant. Well done Jonathan, a maestro organist indeed. Schubert would be proud of you. The trumpet reed starts it off well and the vox Celeste continues the flow of the music.

[@multimill]

Another brilliant performance performance. You are the Edwin Lemare of our times. Can you please come and play the organ of St Mary Redcliffe in Bristol?

[@catwoman3680]

Just fabulous to listen to! That organ sound is breath taking. You are very talented and you both do great justice to the whole performance. Thank you.

[@jamesf.mckellican7607]

Brilliant performance and photography. Thanks again.

[@lig2093]

Thanks for such a beautiful performance.

[@michaelnavez7130]

Wonderful Jonathan, thanks, thanks a lot ❤

[@raymatus1663]

What a treat! Without doubt the finest organ in Mcr. Well played Mr. Scott.

[@michaelgarforth7574]

Brilliant ... been following you all over Europe on the weekly recital tour. Well done. look forward to hearing you live again hopefully next year.

[@ronvbbaatjes]

Missed Vivaldi,but Schubert more than compensated. Superb.Thank you.

[@andrewashdown3541]

Used to walk past the Holy Gnome almost daily - not sure I ever ventured in - before I became enamoured of such places - yet did go to the Whitworth (?) (university hall) lunchtimers

[@erickgremlich4882]

AMAZING!!!! I wish I could have heard this in person....

[@simonnicklin1313]

Jonathan and Tom, thank you so much for the wonderful concert. I have spent a wonderful afternoon. Mr. Scott, you are so informative. I've recently had Organ lessons; I'm not your standard! Listening to you has brought the various pieces alive. God bless, you both and thanks once again for lifting our spirits.

[@garfixit]

Sorry i missed it love your playing are truly amazing love the concerts.

[@amangogna68]

Beautiful church and you are so amazing !

[@jakubciesniewski4983]

Greetings from Poland!

[@charleskesner1302]

Thanks for this wonderful concert. You are very generous. The Toccata if F was quite a treat.

[@rowanlidbury]

I've been a critic of people who only do transcriptions, nothing wrong with that. But that Toccata was mind blowing. Great to hear an original piece performed in a manner the composer would be proud of. Also thanks for highlighting buildings and instruments that don't get the attention they should.

[@calolson9572]

Set to go here in Grand Rapids MI - always a treat to hear Jonathan play!!!!!

[@ginadodds2695]

Thank you for the wonderful concert. Always uplifting to hear you play. I also enjoy your concerts with your brother, who is also an amazing artist. You both are truly blessed! Bellmore, NY USA

[@giuliafava3785]

Bravissimo e tantissimi complimenti 👏

[@jimshaw899]

Hinckley, Ohio, USA I'm always glad to hear a real wind driven pipe organ, even some that have a few warts. Thanks, Tom, for the detailed sound. The Wagner might have been a notch slower, but I got to the end, albeit a bit breathless. But it was, after all, the opener. Thanks for doing so many of these, so well, and with so much variety. Maybe, someday, we can add back a live audience. But, to be honest, there is a spirit of the live performance, with or without the crowd.

[@asgrassi]

When visiting Manchester in 2015, we had the opportunity to watch one of your Lunchtime Organ Concerts at the Bridgewater Hall. Now we've been following your videos from Brazil. Wonderful. Thank you!

[@peternaryd_operasinger]

Thank you Jonathan for playing the Toccata in F of Jules Grison that I asked if you could play for us for a while ago! I love this piece! Take care! Peter in Sweden!🤗👍💖💖
