WOW!!!! My subwoofer Picked up the 64' stop and shook my whole living room floor!!!!! Tremendous, many thanks for an outstanding performance! Cudos!!!!
Likely one of the greatest organists of our time
Really enjoyed listening to Thomas Trotter playing the 1st Movement of the Widor Organ Symphony No 5, which happens to be one of my favourites. Also enjoyed the preamble by Thomas Trotter for each of the pieces, and I concur with the comments made by others who appreciate his playing. Thanks for bringing this to UA-cam.
Very enjoyable - thanks, Thomas!
Wonderful concert! Thanks Thomas Trotter!!! And thanked to this pandemic crisis...you allow audience from all over the world to enjoy this superb performance!!! Greetings from Canada!
Rachel, so good to see another fine organist appreciating Thomas' playing. A bit of a novelty to see the main console because we usually see the portable console at lunchtime recitals. Cannot begin to say how we miss the lunchtime recitals, but resigned to it being sometime before they return.
Excellent, so good to hear you again. We too can’t wait to get back to listening live again.
Brilliant playing, Thomas. We must have more of these concerts! :-) :-)
Amazing! I'm in a sweat! Cudos!!!!
Well done THSH for providing us with this opportunity to hear Symphony Hall’s splendid concert organ played by your City Organist - Thomas Trotter - what a special ‘socially distanced’ treat for us all to enjoy - MUCH appreciated.
Fantastic to see Thomas again. We've really missed the lunchtime recitals. More of this please!
A wonderful reminder of what we have been missing, from the finest organist of his generation. Bravo Thomas, we can’t wait to get back to live recitals too until then I hope we will hear more of Birmingham’s fine organs.
Have really missed the Birmingham Lunchtime concerts. This is wonderful!!
Masterfully played. Many thanks for sharing.
I really enjoyed listening to this concert and I have missed the concerts at Symphony Hall & the Town Hall, to see Thomas play on the keyboard, just shows what a truly wonderful artist he his. Look forward to the opening when it is possible.
Hi Thomas; as you’re not on social media or have no website, this is the only way I can say many congratulations on your recognition today. So richly deserved. So appropriate to hear you play Widor here; I remember during the early 1980s hearing you play all the Symphonies in a series at St Michael’s Cornhill. Really hope live recitals can resume again in 2021.
I've missed the lunchtime concerts so much. So wonderful to hear this, and hope that things return to normal before too long. A splendid performance!
When all this is behind us, come back to Cleveland. Only a few times, but good times.
Nice to here this organ as a solo instrument. Last time I heard it in person, it was competing with quite a few musicians in the orchestra and choir(s) in Mahler 8.
Will you be touring The Netherlands as soon as the situation allows it? Pretty please?!??!!

Will this be available to watch later? My mum would love this as she adores the lunchtime concerts.
amazing, very well played, just love Widor, to bad the sound is a bit dry for my taste, you cant get a feeling of how great and full this organ sounds, mics should be in front of the organ in the theatre maybe, but never the less great.
This organ is "in tune"; most Cavaille' Coll pipe organs, in France, are out of tune.
Your apostrophes suggest you realise how subjective "in tune" actually is! Personally I find French tuning colourful & interesting; "English" tuning can often be insipid.
Sorry the acoustics are bad
They aren't when you're actually inside Birmingham's Symphony Hall. The acoustics in there are only second to those in the Albert Hall.
Wonderful playing, but I just don't like the sound of the instrument.
