Making money is not my primary objective. After expenses are taken into consideration, remaining revenue is invested back into BEAUTY IN SOUND. Audio and visual equipment is expensive, and I also pay a fair fee to all recitalists who appear on BIS. This is why I regularly ask YOU to help, and I’m sorry for having to do so. I hope that you can all see the tangible improvements being made to BIS along our shared journey.

Wonderful demonstration and masterful improvisations. Behind Mr. Bloors friendly and slightly puckish demeanor one senses the presence of an underlying chessmaster intellect. Beautiful acoustic (and capture/balance of same). Hat's off to tonal design, execution, and regulation so that everything fits and always builds. Mixtures most firmly in the Goldilocks zone. I so appreciate the signature BIS registration overlay, and realize the tremendous amount of work that must happen in post production editing to pull it off. Wouldn't it be grand to have the same thing live on VC and other productions from BIS headquarters, especially on Romsey sample set? Fun bits 3:36 sequencer plus button..because the person that put it in can't drive (ba dum - TSS), and watch the paper on the music desk a bit after 4:32
Thank you Ben for your fabulous demonstration of this amazing instrument. And thank you Richard for your impeccable recording, production, and presentation. Bravo!!!
Richard and Ben, thank you for giving us this in depth demo. Yes, sitting in the Chapel opposite the organ loft is the best place to hear the Organ recitals.
Those swell strings and Nachthorn at 14'00” - just beautiful! Loved this demo.
What a brilliant demonstration thank you Ben and Richard for so skillfully bringing the impressive Oratory organ to life.
I was checking the description for a repertoire list. Then I saw the comment, ‘Aren’t Ben’s improvisations wonderful’… Indeed!
Thank you Ben and Richard. Beautiful improvisations showcasing this wonderful instrument. Yet another "reference" gem from BIS
Thks Richard for recording Ben's demonstration & posting it on your YT channel. Very enjoyable demonstration.
What a lovely organ in an amazing acoustic. Thank you for sharing this demonstration! I liked how Ben showed us the personality of the Principals and Flutes in each division, but also showed how they worked together. That was great in addition to the other various ensembles and solos he demonstrated.
Magnificent!
👏👏 Thank you both for this! What a fantastic demonstration in every way - you have set the bar. BB’s intimate understanding & musicianship are staggering. Made my day 😊
Wow!!! What an organ!! Thank you Ben and Richard for showing it off to us! I did some summer work with J.W Walker around the time you where recording the recital at Brompton Oratory. If I had come a week earlier, I would have had the chance to tune here!
Wonderful demonstration and spectacular improvisation! Beautifully rich harmonic progressions! Bravo!
Thanks Ben and Richard - excellent recording and playing. Fond memories of playing at the Oratory in 1992.. It is a totally unique instrument!
What a fantastic presentation! This organ is a really fabulous instrument but the greatest part was done by the organist!
What a great description. Refreshing to hear some sophisticated analysis too, not the usual UA-cam guff “This is a draw stop. This is a diapason sound.” etc.
Enjoyed the demonstration, especially the improvisations. Thank you Ben and Richard.
Well done Ben and Richard.
I am learning so much ! Thank you Ben !
Magnificent space and an insightful overview.
What a room!
Great video!!!❤
Fabulous indeed!!
