VIVALDI - WINTER (Four Seasons) Organ of Basílica de Santa María, Elche, Spain - JONATHAN SCOTT

Jonathan Scott plays his organ arrangement of Winter (L'Inverno) from Antonio Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons" on the organ of Basilica de Santa Maria, Elche Spain. The score of this arrangement is available here: www.scottbrothersduo.com/SCORE...
The Organ was built by Gerhard Grenzing in 2006
The accompanying words are from The Four Seasons sonnets:
THE FOUR SEASONS SONNETS
Concerto No. 4 in F minor, Op. 8 No. 4, RV 297, L’Inverno (“Winter”)
1.
To tremble from cold in the frozen snow,
in the severe blowing of a horrid wind;
To run, stamping one's feet all the time,
our teeth chattering in the extreme cold;
2.
To pass peaceful contented days before the fire
as the rain pours down outside.
3.
To walk on the ice slowly and cautiously,
for fear of tripping and falling.
Turn suddenly, slip, fall to the ground.
Then run hard across the ice
until it cracks and breaks up;
We feel Sirocco, Boreas and all the winds course through
the home despite the locked and bolted doors.
This is winter, but nonetheless it brings its own delights!
Film and sound by Tom Scott

[@ScorieDivine]

@@ipodbily Quite the opposite. The cost of maintenance, rarity, and required space of a serious organ combined make them entirely inaccessible to most organ players. A lot of them wait on for years, sometimes decades, to get ahold of them. Beautiful organs in beautiful churches are many things but common or expecting the first player to show up. Atheists pursued entire ecclesiastic careers to get their hands on the instrument of their dreams.

There is *nothing* in any other culture than even begins to express music with the clever inventiveness that so magnifies exaltation.

[@daftbeeswax4439]

It IS a heavy organ. I would love to hear this, as magnificently as Mr. Scott played it, on a 1950's Walter Holtkamp 3/54 organ. There aren't many Walter Holtkamps left around these days because of the exorbitant cost of maintaining them, though. Gerry Hancock played one in CIncinnati many years ago. It was wonderful.

[@epincion]

If is true baroque heavy metal you are looking for then listen to recordings on the 1742 Moucherel organ in Albi Cathedral such as this short 1.35 min extract (Frédéric Deschamps joue sa transcription pour orgue de l'Ouverture d'Alcione de Marin Marais en sortie de Messe le dimanche 20 août 2017 à la Cathédrale Sainte-Cécile d'Albi (Tarn-France) Its tuned to the old French baroque temperament and has 3 bombardes (16'): this is the only French Baroque organ to have this. The organ is tuned with 18 ° French tuning fork (LA3 = 392 hz) is heard a tone lower than the current tuning fork around 440 hz. The 16' bombardes sound like modern 32'. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6PEioFtechgftE&frags=pl%2Cwn

[@jujug960]

Organs are full of heavy metals. The pipes are made of what basically amounts to solder.
