Outstanding performance !

Lovely, lush arrangement. Loved the thumbing-down!

[@cristinaaguirre1596]

Jonathan gives The Magic Touch even to the most hackneyed of tunes. He is a Master and a warm joyous person. My deep admiration and gratitude to him and Tom. They brighten up my days in every season. Montevideo, Uruguay. South America

[@ginadodds2695]

I listen to you (and occasionally, Tom) play for hours! It is medicine!

Bravo 🙌 , thank you for making my day.

[@miriamcaraquitena]

Well done!! Very pretty!! Makes you want to dance!! ♥️😘

[@bjbrown]

I played this song as a child on a very simple electronic organ. Of course this version is so superior and more enchanting! Thank you for the memory ☃️ ❤️

[@janetlindley4465]

Beautiful 😀 I could see those lovely skaters waltzing to this lovely music. Pure joy. Thank you Jonathan, and also Tom for his technical expertise. 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

[@pipedreamin]

Waited a long time for Jonathan to give this piece his magical treatment, and as usual not disappointed

[@rel804]

Thank you, I like this piece very much!

[@jimshaw899]

That was fun. Jon, you should think about adopting the bow tie as a trademark. From casual to formal concert attire, it's an endearing look. (No clip-ons, s.v.p.) ;)

[@mandyofmarymac]

Simply lovely. I used to skate to this lovely melody when I was younger. However one needs a partner...any takers? XX

[@kathleenthompson3271]

this was SO fun to listen to

[@mariadesa1434]

So beautiful and joyful! Thank you for everything!

[@katydickson5547]

I remember ROLLER skating to this music! Great fun!

[@duckman5642]

Its its. , love it

[@joanmetcalfe5038]

Following this I’ve listened (yet again!) to Jonathan’s ‘Winter’ CD which includes this and other seasonal and Christmas music. It’s a lovely compilation recorded at The Bridgewater Hall.

[@johnfranks9602]

Always difficult to choose a favourite organ but the Lewis organ is a good contender, many thanks once again Johnathan and of course Tom

[@eddieharkin2550]

Thanks yet again to you both. I so look forward to your content.

[@HuggyBob62]

As ever, another enjoyable performance by Jonathan. Credit, too, to Tom's filming - too many KZbin posts have put me off by bad photography.

[@g.k.failla9389]

Nice reminder of the old roller rinks. Sounded like the Albion organ compared notes with a "Mighty Wurlitzer " theater organ. From Chicago, U.S.A.

[@amangogna68]

Amazing music and fantastic organist !

[@pieterbrink7803]

Bravo to the Scott brothers! Thank you for such an outstanding performance and videography. From South Africa.

More great music from Jonathan at the Albion Church organ. This church and beautiful instrument is starting to feel like home to me. Thanks again SBD!

[@alanatolstad4824]

It's my favorite venue!

[@steelgranny9027]

Absolutely delightful!!!

[@peternaryd_operasinger]

Fantastic Jonathan!😁👍👏👏👏👏👏👏🧡

[@francissanfellipo329]

Beautiful!

[@bensale1001]

Simply beautiful. I could - and frequently do - listen to you play for hours. Another masterpiece on playing, videography and sound. Thank you both so much and Merry Christmas.

[@patrickrentsch2821]

Thank you very much for this amazing interpretation of the Skater's Waltz. The registration of the different parts is perfect as is the cut of the video.

[@ginadodds2695]

Your virtuosity is astounding! You and your brother are amazing musicians! Gina Dodds, Bellmore, NY USA

[@micheljoberton5325]

Très beau morceau d orgue 😀😀👏👏👏❤️

[@gerardbedecarter]

Beautiful playing. Thanks, Jonathan, and Tom for the video.

[@briandusell961]

Your performance and arrangement are fabulous as always! You make that deft thumbing down of the melody look so easy and it isn't really. Thank you for sharing your artistry and beautiful productions.

[@garfixit]

Awesome 👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤

[@tamikoestomo3275]

A truly marvelous rendition of a long-time favorite! Thank you!!!

[@anjasalentijn145]

Hello! Thanks for this very joyful piece. You are Masters both Brothers. I wish you a merry Christmas and a beautiful 2022 with a lot of wonderful music!!! Greetings from the Netherlands.

[@publichousebenjy6042]

This is just what I needed on a bleak December day. I have always been brought JOY by hearing this waltz, and now hearing it performed by (IMHO) - Such an Amazingly Gifted Talent and warm gentleman makes the day SO much brighter! Bravo, once again Brothers Scott and Merry Christmas from N. Myrtle Beach, SC, USA

[@G6JPG]

Conversely, I'm listening on a (by British standards; around 30°) sweltering 2022-6-17, and the thought of skaters on an ice rink - or, for that matter, a cool stone church - is equally attractive!

[@luisblanchard5313]

Maravilla!!

[@audrygolden3458]

just soo talented thank u for a piece in these turbulent times fantastic from South Africa

[@claudiagiulietta2672]

🔥🔥🔥🔥❤✨

[@deborah85728]

It’s rather hot here in the south and the thought of gliding over the ice is most appealing , especially with all the Christmas preparations mounting thank you for the charming distraction..

[@ahmedelatmani5689]

, شكراً جزيلاً رائع...❤❤

[@joshuasanchez7577]

Magnifique!!!!

[@paulgreen6921]

This piece always takes me back to my childhood in the fifties. Just a wonderful oasis of sound! PWG

[@alanatolstad4824]

I used to wish you were a bit more animated while playing, but having watched a few other organists during this holiday season, I'm now glad that your playing style is more contained!---I liked the stylish look for tonight's performance.

[@ginadodds2695]

Will you soon return to your home concerts?

[@w270rab]

Excellent arrangement & performance as always; reminded me of Douglas Reeve's version, played on the duel purpose Hill, Norman & Beard organ in the Dome, Brighton. I would like to hear Jonathan play this organ.

[@petergladstone4322]

Beautiful and masterful as always….thanks Jonathan

[@deborasgomes2022]

Eu amo esta música. Que bom que postou o vídeo dela. Combina muito com o Natal. Muito obrigada Jonathan e tTom. Está lindo. Abraços!

[@Doug6412]

Thank you again. Are you ever going to have your music available on Spotify?

[@marinas4887]

🔥🤗❤

[@karlbraun9564]

The composer had an unusual surname name, Waldteufel = Wood or Forest Devil.

[@Towerbrian23]

i felt like i was at a festival

[@claudiagiulietta2672]

🤵🤵🏼🤵🏻🤵🏾👰🏽👰🏼👰🏻👰🏿👰

[@kenweiss8565]

Another great performance! I really enjoy seeing your mastery of the keys, pedals and stops! How long does it take to set up the organ to play the different arrangements? So facinating!

[@michaeltaylor4752]

Are any of these beautiful arrangements published, and where to find them?
