WAGNER TANNHÄUSER OVERTURE - THE ORGAN OF CHESTER CATHEDRAL - JONATHAN SCOTT

[@theronwolf3296]

In addition to the powerful performance, I also want to praise the photography which captures the beauty of the art and architecture of this space. Blends so well with the music.

[@richarddietzen3137]

Indeed, it matches the best qualities of national public broadcasting.

[@woltz1000]

Pick your pub boys, drinks are on me. The least I can do for all the wonderful music and images!

[@brettowen7174]

Love seeing him play on 4 levels at the same time!

[@leylinegoddess]

yes wow and the camera work!!!!!!!

[@riccardodebenedictis2211]

In tutta la mi avita non ho mai visto o sentito un organo suonato con una brvaura che va oltre ogni giudizio!!sono veramente senza parole, stupito è dire poco!!mi piacerebbe stringerti la mano !

[@realruntime]

This is unbelievable! 😯 👏

[@Pensorizzonte]

Wonderful! 🙏🔱⚡

[@jenniferdow1298]

Fabulous in tears

[@christianlongobardi5438]

How could someone dislike this?

[@alanatolstad4824]

I liked those little butterfly notes in the middle!

[@dalea.8233]

I think Wagner himself would have been pleased.....very well done. 👏👏👏

[@Richard.Holmquist]

The power and beauty of the final two minutes disassembles everything I thought was me.

[@cmtwei9605]

Mr Scott is the first organist I see playing on two manuals with one hand simultaneously with the thumb playing the main tune, and that's just amazing. He skilfully uses registration to bring out the best effect. Simply the best rendition of Tanhaeuser that leaves you very uplifted.

[@gaynorhastie112]

Just WOW! BRILLIANT! ❤️❤️❤️🏆

[@alessandrotani7183]

Great as always! And... God, that posaune....!

[@lesterwakefield6419]

Brilliant, simply brilliant!

[@davidwright8432]

Magnificent! If ever there were an orchestral piece that begged for organ realization, this is it. Many thanks for music - and showing the setting i n which it's being played. Great video, and audio. Thanks!

[@trosyzspel9908]

It's impossible to express emotions... this is excellent!!!

[@annemillenlongacre4462]

Bravo!!! Bravo!!!

[@Rollkragenpullover]

3 GIGANTEN treffen aufeinander: Wagner, diese riesige Orgel und Jonathan! Ein echtes Erlebnis, zumal wenn man dazu noch die Bühne in Bayreuth mit den entsprechenden Szenen vor Augen hat! Vielen lieben Dank (auch an Tom)!👍👏🎶🎹😊

[@grahamrankin]

I have run out of superlatives---what an incredible experience ! How anyone can play four keyboards at once whilst still attending to the demands of the swell pedals is quite beyond me. Musically and visually stunning in every way. Magnificent and totally brilliant. A performance to die for.

[@Mystikan]

I have always maintained that you have to be an octopus to play these instruments!

[@grahamrankin]

@@Mystikan Actually I think even an octopus would have great difficulty !

[@ebelchristiana5582]

Watch the concert "The Organ of Chester Cathedral "this selection is from. Also found a beautiful virtual tour of the Cathedral. They compliment each other nicely. From Chicago, U.S.A.

[@anthonyfountain5316]

Simply stupendous.

[@alexf92]

Got goose bumps from this amazing rendition of Tannhäuser. Thank you Jonathan

[@johnmilburn5715]

Well, I wept from start finish of that. Never have I heard so moving and unbelievably appropriately registered rendition of this. You are so talented, and so generous in your making this available to all. Thank you Jonathan, well...both of you....and God bless.

[@eileenstevens9429]

Absolutely brilliant and beautiful music 🎶

[@prairiecollectors]

Fantastic Performance - thanks for sharing. Sublime technical skill.

[@outhouseamericana3601]

If only we could replicate the awe produced by the vibrations of the music engulfing this cathedral. sigh.

[@Rosecrus]

Magnificent Jonathan and magnificent Wagner!!!

[@mwh7022]

I cannot believe I was here three years ago in my below post commenting on this amazing performance and I forgot I had so “ I've heard this before?” was a strange yet welcome reminder... It remains an amazing performance because it is so human as a compliment twixt technical mastery. Thank you not only to Jonathan but to all who made this recording possible. See you in another three years..

[@alexandremarcondesmachado5141]

[@PhilipHight-g8n]

Dear Scott Bros. Duo. Jonathan Scott is a glorious musician and Chester Cathdral is magnificent.

[@duncannoelsmith3197]

My favourite piece of Wagner,brilliantly played by the amazing Jonathan Scott.

[@Khasenfefer]

Bravo!!! Amazing!!

[@garryritter4220]

It's all been said before, just ditto for me also. I'm inspired whenever I hear the beautiful organ music and no one can do it better than Jonathan. I couldn't move my fingers fifty years ago as fast as he does and being in my 70's, I can only dream. They stumble over each other just doing the scale. We love you Jonathon. Keep us inspired during these days of uncertainty. Kudo's also to Thomas for fabulous video. Job well done to both.

[@gloriastiehl2905]

Amen🙏🙏🥰🥰🧡🧡

I would die to see him play at st.Eustache cathedral, Paris! Beautiful and well played.

It is a privilege to see and hear this, even from thousands of miles away.

[@garfixit]

I love this organ❤🎼🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶

[@IloveChrome846]

If the man performed this at my Cathedral, I would camp-out and never leave the premises...Wagner PLUS the sound of GOD, Himself!

[@kennethoberg6164]

An incredibly beautiful performance!

[@doberski6855]

Brilliant and beautiful as usual. Love Wagner and what a great organ and location to play it in! Well done!

[@pierrehardy5056]

On dit souvent que les grandes orgues valent l'orchestre symphonique... belle démonstration avec cette transcription pour cet instrument et cet organiste qui fait corps avec ses claviers et son pédalier ... serein dans sa maitrise des différents jeux , entre les claviers et avec son talent dans le doigté mais aussi dans les nuances du récitatif il nous fait découvrir les sonorités, le timbre particulier de certains jeux ... et il sait aussi nous faire attendre toute la puissance du grand orgue dans les dernières parties ... avec toujours le thème principal qui ressort .... bravo! très agréablement surpris par cette interpretation .. on ne s'ennuie pas bien au contraire .. toujours en attente de découvrir les possibilités de cet instrument bien mis en valeur .. merci !

[@maartenbuma3527]

Wow, Jonathan I am speechless...this was so fantastic. Your talent amazes me. Thank you!! Best regardsMaarten Buma Pretoria South Africa

[@mwh7022]

There is nothing not to love about this performance - thank you. I could do with it being a little more peaceful... but you can't ignore the last bus..excellent

[@Mr05241948]

I have been a pipe organ fan for many years, and this thrilled me beyond words.

[@91oldman]

Magnifique

[@davidtheriault6726]

This was beyond amazing. I'm quite at a loss for words. All I can say is Thank You for such a thrilling performance.

[@gmfamcdonald1465]

Magnificent! Grandeur on a grand scale! And Tom just highlighted it with appropriate vision of grandeur at each climactic moment.

[@KhunThomat]

I never heard an organ played with such dynamics, from pianissimo to forte-fortissimo

[@gerardbedecarter]

Wonderful music. Thanks, Jonathan, and Tom for the film and sound.

[@TheMasterNo6]

I once had a tweet read out by John Suchet some years ago on Classic FM following his playing Wagner's Overture to Tanhauser. I wrote: 'Tanhauser truly is music that stirs the Heavens'. Mr Suchet agreed with me. This rendition shakes the Heavens. Utterly sublime. It is amazing that one man, one pair of hands and feet can produce such music. Last night he played this at The BBC Proms, 9/8/24, sadly I missed listening to his performance so I came here to hear it. I wish his renditions were available on Amazon Prime Music to listen to.

[@epincion]

Hurrah! At last this part of the recent concert is separately posted. A tour de force in every way - composition, transcription, organist, organ and building.

[@marcela77777]

Wonderful performance!

Jonathan and Thomas Scott’s talent matches this magnificent church’s both incredible stone and woodwork.Thank You!!

[@b.strong9347]

Wonderful as always… even if all I can think about is Bugs and Elmer Fudd singing to each other.

An absolutely fantastic performance Thank you🍃

[@debsg2024]

Loved the image of the statue in the garden. It matched the theme of the song. Very good taste. This is another piece that makes us float. I know the compliments are repetitive, but it's impossible not to say anything in the face of such a brilliant execution. I'm delighted, Jonathan! Congratulations!

[@taddricketts6282]

Love and Respect from a lonely Musician to another.....Well Done

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

Stunning. It sounds as good on the organ as it does with an orchestra. Thank you for the video!

[@hectorbravo6862]

Es música total...y exalta el espíritu. Gracias

[@janetlindley4465]

Absolutely incredible Jonathan. A beautiful piece which looked to me extremely challenging but played note perfect AND with such ease. A privilege to watch you play. Thank you Tom for your technical expertise in bringing us all this piece from a magnificent Cathedral.

[@SOGT610]

Johnathan, Johnathan. I just listened and watched you play this four times in a row. One of my best buddies who was taught by Alexander McCurdy at Curtis institute just passed away, and when I sent him your KZbin performances thought you were absolutely, absolutely amazing. During the last year of his life, I sent him all your KZbin performances, and they made him grateful for your uplifting gift and grateful for all the years he could be the organist at the first Anglican and post Revolutionary Episcopal Church in America.

[@cornelsultana7066]

Incredible experience!!!

[@micheljoberton5325]

Très belle musique magnifique 👏👏💓👏👏

[@vinyalonde]

There are so many performances of various pieces of music transcribed for organ but I always find myself coming back to this channel for what I regard as the reference standard. Excellent work!

[@pipedreamin]

Better than your older video of this piece - somehow that has been made possible.

[@kateclark7250]

Love the music... love the filming! You gentlemen are amazing.

[@anjasalentijn145]

Very impressive and fantastically playing and filming!!!!! Thank you Jonathan and Tom. Greetings from the Netherlands

[@mariadesa1434]

Wonderful performance! How can you do that? Without more words, it is impossible to describe the emotion of listening and watching! And what a beautiful church, Tom captured everything very well! Congratulations to you two, you are unique!

[@jorgegrillo55]

"El Coro De Los Peregrinos" . Excellent...!!!

[@tomcunningham1973]

Perfect thank you

[@peterallison5021]

A great performance and not rushed, unlike some. Thank you for playing, and thank you Tom for the usual stunning recording and video, as per usual. You both must get over to Boston, and play at the Stump

[@organboi]

What an organ. Unbelievable.

Simply stunning. Each opportunity to hear and see the Scott brothers in action is not to be missed. True artists!

[@tcharles2466]

Thanks for posting this again. Even though I watched your original recital/livestream (which was inspirational, as always) - I hadn't fully appreciated the unbelievable skill involved in playing this EH Lemare transcription! So lovely, too, to hear/see this demonstrated again on the wonderful organ of Chester Cathedral - where I've attended many organ recitals over the years!

[@roynelzayasalvarez5117]

magnífico excelentísimo músico algo que hoy en dia no se ve algo tan majestuoso tanta dedicación y esfuerzo solemnidad estoy agradecido por haber tenido este espacio en mi vida .

[@NakedMuso]

This is one of those recordings that makes me realise I will never have such a command of the instrument as you. I can't decide whether I'm inspired, or depressed. I've heard you play this before but don't recall it having quite the same affect on me. Thank you for reminding me just how fantastically orchestral Chester can be (in the hands of a master).

[@kateclark7250]

Be inspired, Eddie. Enjoy the gifts you have. All the music you give the world is grace.

[@NakedMuso]

@@kateclark7250 Thank Kate, you are of course right. I usually am both inspired and in awe of Jonathan's musicality and skills - who wouldn't be!

[@samueloverend3517]

I just marvel that we live in a time & place where this music exists; this instrument exists; and this musician exists. ...and youtube exists so I can hear it...

[@pierrepaklons9425]

Thanks a lot, I also play this instrument.

[@gloriastiehl2905]
