[@codelyokofan1092]

12:34 the build up to the "Speak through the Earthquake, wind and fire" ....you really can feel the earthquake and fire in the music, and it calms down immediately. It seems you notice and play according to the lyrics too . Really awesome!

[@yeety1208]

Taking the lyrics into account is very important in hymn playing indeed and it is up to the organist to adapt registrations to suit the words, eg quiet for reflective hymns or even verses, usually not changing the registrations as such in the middle of a verse but for the verse itself

[@gregorylehew3296]

As an American member of the Anglican Church, each of these hymns is special to me & so beautifully, wonderfully, and majestically played & sung. Thank you so much for your talent, time, and skill!

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing Favorites are Elacombe (51:38) and Thaxted (0:12), which is also one of my choir's favorites

[@calvinrichardjoness]

Thanks for this awesome hymn compilation Richard🙌

+1 Greenville, South Carolina. You are an excellent player!

[@ChuckAbernethy]

You play the ("pipe") organ VERY well, Sir! I love the way you select the stops and registrations. AND your wife sings beautifully! Yes, this is a phenomenal selection of well-known hymns. Although I have a very limited implementation of a 2-manual digital instrument with no pedals, you have been a tremendous inspiration to me. Today is Sunday and these hymns have been my hour of worship. Continue to let God use your talents, young man and young lady.

[@kurteifert2657]

Sir would you play: Guide us thou great Jehovah, God of out Fathers? Rock of Ages? Please Richard.

[@tishdup]

[@peterholmes5085]

Excellent playing, rather spoiled by KZbin throwing in adverts during the hymns.

[@maartenbuma3527]

Wow, this was so nice!! Thanks, Richard.

[@mlwaggoner]

I’m new’ish to your channel and loving it! Rarely get to tune-in live, but have been listening afterward, especially while I’m working. I work at a crazy Int’l law firm that has me hopping all day long, but if I have your channel on in the background I get a feeling of calm and peace. I find myself humming along with many selections that I would not have even said I remembered until I hear them and my musical memory kicks in. Some of it reminds me of when I played piano (mostly classical) but most of it is that innate, know-what-note-comes next harmony that is such a part of me I didn’t even realize it. I don’t attend a traditional church anymore, but I was raised Lutheran with all the lovely, moving German hymns and (ahh) Bach. My mom and I both sang in the choir and, when we didn’t, we sang alto harmony from the pews. You and your channel are a treasure. Thank you !!

[@beautyinsound]

Thank you, and welcome!!

[@seanpeare-M0WSP]

Loved hearing you play at Chichester Cathedral. Time stamp 19:10. I was there last Tuesday for a lunchtime concert. It's Organ is beautiful and is demonstrated by Tim Ravaldy on BIS.

[@BernardDauphinais]

Superb concert, incredibly beautiful! Thank you! It's hard to focus in on a favorite, they were all so beautiful. But I have to say that "O thou who camest from above (Hereford)" (48:32) is one I have had to go back to listen to again. And again. Caroline's voice is absolutely lovely and beautiful, and it's such a nice tune.

[@agatazdebska4590]

Thks 4 "Thaxted", it's breathtaking 💔 💔 ... & cat is so cute 🙂

[@inhocsigno9151]

For me the opening hymn is "O God Beyond All Praising", and it is glorious.

[@reveileen]

Came out of it to click the 'like' button, now the live chat has disappeared 😮

[@beautyinsound]

It’ll be back shortly 😊

[@simonhancock963]

Coe Fen is my favourite - I think it's certainly one of the best tunes written in recent years, and arguably ever! It's such an uplifting tune to sing, and matches the beautiful words perfectly. It's sad to think that Ken Naylor didn't live to see how popular it's become in the last 20 years or so (although I'm sure he knew it was well received at the time) and what a staple of the repertoire it is, in so many places of worship.

[@keithbolton5081]

😂Wow this has made my day Richard and Caroline singing is absolutely wonderful Thanks for sharing this will definitely save this one to watch again Regards Keith 💓

[@johnruiz8758]
