Pipe organs should be used in this sort of music more often, they add SO much gravitas. They're also the original synth... why not use it? How many people who listen to this type of music would say that they listen to organ music? However, here we are listening to organ music. Organs, in their many forms as classical organs such as what we see here, theatre organs like the Wurlitzer at Blackpool Tower Ballroom, and electronic instruments such as Hammonds etc fit into almost any genre of music, and have proven that over the past 100+ years. The organ is not just for use at church or for funerals, it is a diverse instrument that is full of potential, musically, expressively and emotionally. It needs more chances like this one.

Trance music? Pretty good. Bonobo? Even better. Bonobo letting Anna Lapwood go all out with an organ? Absolutely euphoric. This track was already a banger experience, but getting hit full force with a pipe organ at near full throttle? Absolutely blows you out of the water. (Its worth mentioning that until recently during a show with AURORA, this cocnert was the first time she was allowed to run the pipes at near 100% volume. Also worth mentioning that this was a spur of the moment thing. Anna was practicing when someone from Bonobo's team heard her and they decided that it was going to be part of the show. It was not planned in advance before the show. I also love how during the final measure, the lights matched the Organ's intensity. )

Organs were designed to replace a whole orchestra and choir. They are the single greatest feat of musical engineering of their time and we’ve never quite again built anything to this scale in the physical world; we have digital instruments of similar size, but everything on an organ of this kind is a physical instrument powered by air. I love these instruments so much. They are sadly slowly dying out. Being thrown away and scrapped.

[@blahfasel2000]

Well, sort of. The organ in its current form is only about 20 years old, although some of the pipes are 150 years old. First it was extensively rebuilt and modified (eg. changing the voicing of existing stops, adding 35 additional stops, all the inner workings were completely replaced, etc.) in 1924 and 1933. In 1970 some more changes were made. By 2000 the organ had deteriorated to the point of basically becoming unplayable. Then from 2002 to 2004 another full rebuild was done. This last rebuild tried to keep the sound mostly the same, but improved the inner workings, probably for the first time in its history bringing the wind supply to a level where the organ could really be fully used.

If you like this, look for the video with the split screen of this one and Anna. You can see her playing, counting the bars, and her reaction to the crowd. Epic!

[@williamschendel7522]

I would have lost my damn mind the minute the organ kicked in. Such an amazing collaboration, and a great fusion of music. Shaking the rafters old school with a new school twist. Love it so much.

[@zZzZzyxel]

I wish we had more crowd shots. To see the faces of people hearing the sudden drop for the first time...

[@SelahPictures]

I would pay one thousand American dollars for a complete album of this.

[@CasualCrab]

I’d pay $1k just to have this one song recorded in Dolby Atmos.

[@stevekelly5166]

Sat about 10 seats from Anna 2 nights ago at her PROM. What a smile she has.

[@nutster9000]

Definitely a beauty!

[@anamoose461]

There’s no way they don’t use the organ in this song from now on. The organ is just such a powerful instrument that it brings this piece to a new level

[@Chrisclbele]

Just seen clips of this on fb and had to KZbin it. The finale from 5:32, *Chefs kiss*. Wish I was there to experience that 😮

[@NIKONGUY1960]

Not sure I've ever been so moved by a piece of music. And her contribution was out of this world amazing.

[@Anonymous-m9f9j]

Unbelievable, the contribution Anna had to this closing... transcendent

[@cecilpodd]

I can't stop listening to this. It's every level of awesome!

[@rowanhoneysett7315]

Was there on the Thursday and the atmosphere was absolutely electric!! Everyone dancing on all the levels by the third song. I can't even imagine it being taken a further level but it did. Amazing, what an incredible melting pot of musical brilliance.

[@OffKilterCrafterIan]

I got chills watching this! Can’t even imagine what it must have been like to be in the space live. Anna is so awesome and I’m so glad she got to do this. This needs to be released as a track on the album.

[@knownothing5518]

Anna deserves a whole concert dedicated to her at this point!!!

[@oscasully]

The atmosphere must have been insane. New one for the bucket list

[@oscasully]

This has to happen again so I can go!!!

[@sean_321]

Every damn time I hear this my hair just stands straight up. She’s releasing an absolute kraken of musical harmony on the listeners.

[@jessejobgen5098]

I'm typically not an electronic music kind of person, typically rock/metal some symphonic stuff. This gave me chills, it is soo good. The many dimensions and layers to it all, mind blowing. This needs to be a thing, they need her on the next album, or just re-record the song with the organ. Phenomenal!

[@emilyklasing]

Legit one of the best musical moments of my life was being at this show, and that sublime moment the organ came in. It was unreal.

[@KatyKatetheLeeKaylee]

I have always been a HUGE fan of Organs mixed with current music, have been so for years so TO SEE THIS I am SO happy for it. I really hope more things like this happen because it really shows that the 'Old' never really goes out of style. The lighting is really great here too in ALL aspects. Kudos to whoever designed it.

[@ltpinecone]

This is hands down one of the coolest pieces of music with an organ I have ever listened to.

[@seanbeh360]

The crossover you didn't know you needed.

[@Jon66B]

Just imagine the story when she hangs out with her organist friends: "Hey Anna, what have you been up to lately?".

[@BrknGrnd]

She 100% Nailed her performance with the organ in this collaboration. Really amazing! I’ve got a fever and the only prescription is more Organ 😂

[@cfnature5]

SO BEAUTIFUL! I've watched this video, the side by side, and just the video of Anna and I keep crying every. single. time. she comes in with the organ. I don't know what it is about it but it shakes my soul, it's so incredible.

[@remiclud]

Good for the composers: the alternation between acoustic and digital! The silences of the organ then its support by looped chords, the progressive effects to go towards a final in crescendo... Wow! And when she's not playing, Anna counts the bars, her whole body is connected to the crowd, the organ, the musicians... Finally! The organ has spoken! On the last note, with the cromhorns, he says: "WELCOME!" Thank you especially to Anna for having undertaken this wonderful adventure: allowing all young people to appreciate the extraordinary potential of these instruments which support the past, participate in the present and prepare for the future... And a big congratulations to Bonobo. Creative and responsive! Thank you so much!

[@AlfOfAllTrades]

3:00 I'd like to quote Jeremy Clarkson at this point: "POWEEEER!". This must have been an incredible experience.

[@Cdr_Mansfield_Cumming]

That blew me away. The ability to blend Anna Lapwood in with that huge Organ of the Royal Albert Hall was inspired. The segments of it blasting out went right through my body as no other bass has ever done. Genius!

[@phyphor]

Came here from TikTok because I needed to see the whole thing. I have always loved the fusion of club and classical (I even managed to snag tickets for a Club Classical gig in Brixton a couple of decades ago, which was awesome), and this is why. Just the absolute emotional pull of the music and instruments taking us wherever, whenever.

[@stryrker135]

Anyone else get emotional when the organ kicked in??? Holy sh*t!!!!!! Iv never felt so connected to a peice of music like this!!!! She is amazing on the keys!!!!! God bless the pair of you!!!!! ✌️✌️✌️

[@brookewelty4397]

It honestly gives me chills. Pipe organ is so cool.

[@ingridceura170]

I cried

[@philh8829]

Prince Albert would have thought himself in a euphoric fantasy and undoubtedly rendered to tears should he have ever been able to witness this epic performance.

[@GavCritchley]

Imagine being there when those pipes go...must be tons of air moving through them.

[@juleswilko]

I’m in tears. The emotion of the performance, and at the memory of my Great Uncle. Like my second father. He loved his church organs and passed on his love to me. This is just the ultimate fusion of two musical loves. I miss him, and wish I had gone to more recitals together.

[@matthewfiddes]

This is beyond words. Music can take you places, turn on emotions, leave you mesmerized but this, this is on a truly whole other level. Never underestimate the power of music. Thank you!!!

[@davetrevan]

I discovered this today having just purchased the album Luna. To say it sent shivers down my spine would be an understatement! Also made me cry! The majesty of the organ! I love the merging of different genres of music! Just wowed!

[@tcarper]

Brought me to tears. That organ hit is so massive
