I am seriously considering having this played at my funeral. Problem. Can anyone play this remarkable music as well? Of course, the setting is just as important. Oh, maybe I shall be able to hear this in Heaven. If that is impossible, it would be hell!

[@Gosch18011995]

One of the most important moments in music history is when the Tristan chord appears one last time and finally gets resolved after 4 hours of music

[@geoffreyseysllewellyn2174]

The orchestral original is extremely difficult to hold together, and an organ transcription impossible……until now!Absolutely breathtaking, and so beautifully played. This could be his hardest yet. Thank you.

[@OperaNut]

This has got to be one of the most astounding transcriptions ever, even by Jonathan’s standards. How he has arranged this amazingly complex music and so perfectly captured all the colours and emotion of the original is absolutely miraculous. It’s simply overwhelming. 💜

[@epincion]

Arrangement by Edwin Lemare not JS

[@bobmartin9018]

Jonathan ,Thank You so very much ,you and your brother allowing the world enjoy these marvelous treasure's.

[@RobertZat]

Absolutely brilliant Jonathan! Thank you Tom for always providing the best sound quality and imagery to accompany the music.

[@macronencer]

Literally gave me shivers. Wonderful, thank you so much! I love this music.

[@wizardofodds8239]

This is Heaven! Thank you Jonathan for all the WORK executed to perform this music! To transcribe the score, practice it, determine the registrations and set the combo actions, and work with the Swell pedals. So excellent! This is music that makes my heart Swell as well. An antidote to the darkness of our world at this time!🌈🎶

[@anjasalentijn145]

Hello!! What a moving piece Thanks Jonathan and Tom. And Love usually hurts. Greetings from the Netherlands.

[@SirMcMuffintosh]

You may not always get millions of views on your performances, but please know that not a single one goes by unappreciated by thousands. Your work is sincerely enjoyed!

[@benoitlavoux1914]

Bonjour Jonathan, merci pour cette très belle interprétation! J’espère que vous pourrez revenir jouer sur l'orgue de la cathédrale d’Évreux cette année?

[@lesterwakefield6419]

Oh, to hear that in person! Wonderful as always! Thank you both so much!

[@karthurjr]

The next best is to listen with 1st quality headphones on KZbin! Also, the visual effects produced by Brother Tom of this piece are just as overwhelming. Thank you Jonathan!

[@davidpaulgibson4708]

Stunning! Wagner would have approved!

[@debsg2024]

Good morning, Jonathan e Tom! Beautiful forever! Thanks!!! 😀👍👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌🙌🥰❤️🙏🙋🏻‍♀️✨🎵🎶🎹

[@peternaryd_operasinger]

Wonderful as always Jonathan!😁👍👏👏👏👏👏

[@lacedinhistory]

I've been hoping you'd do a video of this piece one day, and it was just as devastatingly beautiful as I imagined it would be. Thank you both ❤️❤️❤️

[@miriamcaraquitena]

Qué belleza de lugar!! Las imágenes son increibles y el órgano espectacular!! Esta música es muy triste puesto que se trata de un drama pero me ha gustado mucho la interpretación, perfecta para el lugar!! Bravo chicos y gracias de nuevo!!♥️👏👏😘

[@carolpredeth9866]

Brilliantly moving piece, expertly played by Jonathan on the magnificent Armley Schulze organ. Heaven!!

[@kateclark7250]

Thank you for this amazing music and views of this beautiful church.

[@donaldstanfield8862]

Magical, as ever, in sight and sound! Well done!

[@wayneczimmermansr9824]

Wonderful ending of "T&I" Fabulous performance! I use this music for the final moments when I accompany the ending of the silent film "Nosferatu".

[@gerardbedecarter]

Wonderful. Thanks Jonathan and Tom.

[@fixnbricks4390]

Playing this in the youth symphony I’m in, but it’s the concert ending version. This is literally one of my favorite pieces ever.

[@ВладимирОкоренко]

Волшебная музыка органная лечит душу спасибо органисту ! ! !😎🙂😀

[@pipedreamin]

Another spectacular performance and recording. Almost 100k subscribers getting amazing music in their lives.

[@robertthomson9808]

Beautifully played. The Liebestod was played by my late father as his inaugural piece when he became organist in our local church in the 1930s.

[@amangogna68]

Great music and fantastic player !

[@Aka-cr6zi]

It’s crazy touching this Liebestod! Thank you very much!

[@Doug6412]

Beautiful. Thank you

breathtaking.

Bravo Jonathan & Tom

[@zumalot]

Thank you, Jonathan and Tom.

[@bartsanders1553]

The only other performances that stand with this (that I've heard) are Carlo Curley's and Virgil Fox's.

[@Fernandoovv]

I had heard many songs so far in my life and this is one of the most beautiful that I will remember ❤

[@karenhenson3786]

So good Jonathan you could eat it!! Bravo...Kx.

[@abrahamlincoln9758]

Dang. I'm at work and been waiting for this one. Save it for the ride home, then.

[@christineshaw3889]

Problems Problems Is my favorite the Liebstod or Nimrod??? Both fantastic

[@Rgoid]

Liebestod = lovedeath?

[@Gosch18011995]

Yes, but technically Wagner called it Isolde's "Verklärung", which translates to "transfiguration".

[@cristiangutierrez4885]

Increíble,precioso 🌹Bravo maestro,gran interpretación,preciosa registración!

[@georgewootten4428]

Incredible

[@garyclough1907]

Brilliant

[@mandyofmarymac]

Whenever I hear Wagner, I'm transported back to Baveria and King Ludwig's magical castle, Neuschwanstein. There are many areas within its' walls dedicated to Wagner. It's simply magnificent. As is your playing. I can imagine this piece echoing off those marble and stone walls. As you probably already know, he was a great fan and patron of Wagner.

Es ist nicht nicht in Österreich sondern in Füssen im Allgäu in Bayern in Deutschland . Viele Grüße aus dem Saarland an alle die gute Musik lieben

[@abrahamlincoln9758]

@@uliwahl7561 You beat me to the correction 😀👍

[@ErnestoBrausewind]

Sorry but Neuschwanstein is in Bavaria - Germany not Austria (not too far away tho)

[@mandyofmarymac]

@@uliwahl7561 oops. I knew that. I've been there three times or more. What was I thinking? Thank You I haven't received this much attention in years! :-)

@@abrahamlincoln9758 What is this, some sort of competition? That was a big oversight. I've been there enough times to have known better. Thank You I haven't received this much attention in years. :-)

Hauntingly beautiful and simply marvellous.

Soon to be played at my Coronation.

Wonderfull. 👏👏👏👏👏

Excelente inicio de mes escuchando esta obra musical. Gracias a Jonathan y a Tom. Desde México. A todos: fuerte abrazo.

[@MrAsBBB]

I hear Wagner! Perfect!

[@g.k.failla9389]

The complete "Armley Schultze" concert has Beethoven and more too! He also gives the organ's history of being in 2 mansions before the present location. From Chicago, U.S.A.

[@riaankoekemoer6079]

Beautiful ❤️

[@KSL1972LLC]

Excellent transcription. Would love to see JS perform this and others on some of the symphonic instruments here in the US...Woosley Hall at Yale University, Old South Church in Boston, MA, Riverside Church NYC, Wanamaker Organ in Central City Philadelphia.

[@alanatolstad4824]

Nope, the sights held me on this one. The sounds sadly didn't grab me.
