It was a great pleasure getting to know you both 😍 In Licheń we are all delighted with your visit and recital. The concert was amazing and breathtaking. Hope to see ypu again in Poland 🇵🇱
You two lads are the BEST thing that has happened to organ music. Jonathan blows me away with his skill as organist and arranger, but what lifts it to another level is how Tom captures it in sound and video. Nice to see your fun side. Thank you for lifting my spirits and bringing joy to so many.
8:50 Yes, You should put soup into the noodles, that's the way we eat broth in Poland. It's very common to have broth for the midday meal on Sundays ;) I hope you enjoyed it
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful excursion with us. That organ is something very special and so powerful. Sounds incredible. The Church is a masterpiece of architecture and so beautiful. It had me spellbound. James.
I had to read further about the building before commenting. It is the largest organ in Poland and the 4th largest in Europe and the 13th largest in the world. The sun is marvelous.
The soup is called Rosół (very traditional soup on important celebrations must have) and is served so that you wait for the vase and pour it to the plate as much as you wish. So if you see clean, cooked noodles you wait for liquid part. ;-) What a pity that I didn't know that you would be there, I had only 200 km to go :(
This was really something! It's a wonder that you two aren't deaf! I was actually intimidated by the magnificence of it. Thanks for a taste of what is to come, & thank you for sharing. XX
It is an impressive basilica and a spectacular organ. Also the sound is incredible. Congratulations on the wonderful report. I am excited about my trip to San Sebastian. See you soon. Have a good trip and a happy stay in Spain!!❤😘😘
What a wonderful video. Couldn't take my eyes off this beautiful church and its spectacular pipe organs. And my God, what a sound. Thank you gentlemen for visiting Poland and for playing a beautiful concert on this unique instrument. I hope it will not be your last and that you'll visit Poland more often. All the more so that we are blessed with many more excellent organ instruments to play on which, while not as big as the organs in the Licheń Basilica, are of immense artistic and historic value and sport a magnificent sound as well. Organ instruments such as those in the Cathedral Basilica of Holy Trinity in Gdańsk - Oliwa, Cathedral Basilica of Saint John the Baptist in Wrocław, or Basilica of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Leżajsk, to name just a few that first came to my mind (but there are many more). I also noticed and would like to thank you 🙏for your kind words of appreciation and respect for the religious venue in which your concert took place and your delight at the beauty of the Basilica of Our Lady of Licheń which is home to those magnificent pipe organs on which you played. And yes, you are supposed to add liquid to the noodles before you start eating 'rosół' -> chicken broth. 😉😃Greetings from Warsaw.🙂
Beautiful video of an amazing Basilica and with my favorite musicians! It must have been amazing to hear that organ in your performance! You two did a wonderful job, thanks for everything!
Hey Brothers! What an amazing discovery for the two of you, and what a surprise for the rest of us who have been delighted to share your experience!! Those acoustics, the dimensions of the Basilica, that amazing instrument, the maintaining of the organ in such a space, and incredibly that the whole is hidden away in a forest makes it somewhat "other worldly." Your combined talents to bring these videos to us is gratifying in each within the series of travel you are undertaking. Bless you both. Dan in Knoxville TN
The acoustics are extraordinary, but they do nothing to help the organ. Because of the excessive reverberation time and the many different reflective surfaces, it is likely that the sound is very muddy almost everywhere in the building.
You may be correct, however, each building has its own characteristics. Still, this was an unusual discovery you must admit. The brothers are top drawer, when it comes to their many activities, and are worthy of being congratulated many times over. @@hb1338
One week ago I thought acoustic can be a problem. Not for Jonathan Scott. But the problem is how to eat rosół 🤔( in Poland we eat traditionally every Sunday). 😅 However I enjoyed my 1-day trip to Licheń and the opportunity to meet you in person, Jonathan. Thanks to Tom (always busy with his camera). 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Stay safe and well. See you very soon.🤗🤗
I Have indeed listened, with awe, to the immense scope and sound of this organ, on as many UA-cam videos as there are of it being used. It was almost wishing for hope against hope that the Scott brothers would get to visit and record there. I take it as a compliment to you that the titulaire didn't seem to be hovering around you during familiarisation.
Stunning & magnificent in every facet - the architecture, the location, the decor, the bell, and of course the organ. 💥 Fantastic video! Cannot wait for the concert. Thanks for sharing. 😍 Oh, and Tom, isn't bed making sort of an art form?? 🐁🎨😅 💖💖🎹🎶
Both size and splendour of the Basilica are almost incomprehensible, thanks for the spectacular tour round it and the bird’s eye view from ‘on high’ outside - plus the promise of recording to come. Online Concert number 50 will be very special! Did you take arm extensions to cover six manuals? 😂
What an unbelievable instrument and church! I very much am looking forward to the online concert. As ever, your videos are first class all the way. You both are so personable I feel we've met. Thanks for all of these as they bring great joy to the viewer/listener!
Hi Jonathan and Tom. The Basilica and organ looked wonderful. Such beautiful architecture too. I’m sure it was a very special experience to hear Jonathan’s music there. Thank you for sharing - looking forward to hearing the online concert 😀😀
Thanks so much for showing bit and pieces of the organ, your travels, lack of sleep😂. Loved it. Looking forward to hearing the concert Tom edits and puts together❤❤
That was a wonderful video but you must both have been so tired!! The organ looks magnificent - how on earth do you play the highest manual?? With the reverb being so bad it's amazing that you are able to play at all, if you can't hear what you are playing! I am so looking forward to the 50th online concert, so that I can hear it for myself!! Thank you both for sharing this video. Enjoy your visit to Spain on my birthday!! I shall think of you both. xx
You are doing a great job indeed, music is our family and no evil could ever dare to keep us apart anymore, keep up guys & never stop believe in, fans love youuuuu 🌈👏💐💎💐🍀🤗
Although the village has been a place of pilgrimage for some time, the basilica was apparently completed only in 2004. What an extraordinary building, especially the asymmetric towers.
What a beautiful, marvelous venue! All shiny and bright. When was it built? Such an uplifting, happy place to worship, or just to wonder at the magnificence. And the organ must have been installed yesterday. Not a speck of dust. Every organ I've ever toured was deep in layers of dust. A truly magnificent sight, the grounds, the buildings, and of course, the sound!
It's nearly 20 years old organ. But in in this church is dedicated full time organbuilder, who takes care about this instrument every, really every day. Otherwise it will be impossible to keep it in tune like this.
Thanks for this nice video. And big thanks to Jonathan for his performance at the concert. We came with my son just to listen him from Brno (Czech Republic) and it was worthy of this trip. Btw. how did you record that magnificient sound you're using in the video?
Please please please do a CD or something of this organ - the repertoire list could be huge - love to hear the widor 6th symphony or the suite gothique ❤️😍👍🏻🍻👏🏻
Awesome instrument. I immediately looked the place up - when the Basilica was built, and of course, the organ. ( See Wikipedia for the history and photos). I look forward to the upcoming concert!From Warsaw's Sister City, Chicago, U.S.A.
The architectural design of the main organ is very similar the Lds conference center in Salt Lake City, finished a few years before this organ in Poland. Almost identical.
Poland has many beautiful organs including the one at Święta Lipka. Just wait until you come to the United States with it's three granddaddy organs. The Moller of West Point Cadet Chapel, the Wanamaker Organ of Macy's department store, and the Midmer Losh of Boardwalk Hall. Each will treat you as a kid in a candy store. Although the organs of West Point and Wanamaker are fully playable, the Midmer Losh is close to more than half playable. Work is currently being done in the Choir Division of the Left Forward chamber and restoration of the Great, Solo, Solo-Great, and Pedal Right of the Right Stage chamber.
Some of the nicest sounding organs in the USA are lesser known but equally impressive instruments by American organ builders. The Scott Brothers' agents may care to look out for some of the USA organs demonstrated by, for example, Balint Karosi or Paul Fey.
Oh Lord, the NOODLES 😂 They are indeed part of the soup, usually in local home-style restaurants like this they will prepare the noodles early and they will wait till the broth is ready so it's properly warm when you start eating and the noodles don't get soggy. The soup is called "rosół". It's such an normal everyday thing here that noone probably even thought to inform you cause you might not know, I'm so sorry 🙈
Wonderful performance by Jonathan! I would like to say thank you Gentlemen :) I was there during your concert and I'm really impressed by your skills. Jonathan, how you are able to distinguish these sounds?? The acoustics in this place are terrible (that''s my personal feelings) and sounds bounce/interfere with each other many many time. I can't image how hard it is to play with this echo :)
Recently a new pipe organ was constructed for the Katowice philharmonic which is larger (the new largest in Europe, I believe 12 or 13 metres high). It doesn't have as impressive aucoustic.
The organ has 105 stops and around 7,000 pipes. In a well designed concert hall, such as the one at Katowice, you can hear the organ clearly. The same cannot be said of the basilica, where the sound is very muddy due to all the reflections from the walls and the ceiling.
The basilica is absolutely hideous, quite a shame. Luckily, it's not the architecture you two were after, hope you've had a great time. Thanks a milion for Your work ❤.
It was a great pleasure getting to know you both 😍 In Licheń we are all delighted with your visit and recital. The concert was amazing and breathtaking. Hope to see ypu again in Poland 🇵🇱
What a beautiful church, that organ is amazing excellent presentation!
I feel so privileged to be included in your tours. Thank you both.
Superb, chaps, as always! Really missed not seeing you in Hereford this year though!
You two lads are the BEST thing that has happened to organ music. Jonathan blows me away with his skill as organist and arranger, but what lifts it to another level is how Tom captures it in sound and video. Nice to see your fun side. Thank you for lifting my spirits and bringing joy to so many.
What a beautiful place and such a fantastic instrument. It makes you realise how wonderful our world is. Thank you
Always SO entertaining in so many ways. Such skilful yet such down-to-earth people.
Greetings from Thailand. I'm living here. Missing so much organ music. These give good feeling. Thanks ❤
You two are the best!
Amazing organ beautiful church can't wait for concert
8:50 Yes, You should put soup into the noodles, that's the way we eat broth in Poland. It's very common to have broth for the midday meal on Sundays ;) I hope you enjoyed it
Nice to see you again in Poland! 😁
That was quintessential, maybe you two can record an album from there and you've given me a reason to visit Poland just to visit the Basilica....🙂👍👍

What a beautiful building and the organ looked amazing. I loved the noodle/soup dilemma! Thanks for sharing.
Another fasinating video. Thank you to both Jonathan and Tom.
It is an impressive basilica and a spectacular organ. Also the sound is incredible.
Congratulations on the wonderful report.
I am excited about my trip to San Sebastian. See you soon. Have a good trip and a happy stay in Spain!!❤😘😘
The Rachmaninoff Symphony No.2 played in the background with organ is so beautiful. Hopefully can hear the full version of it.
Can't wait for the concert video! I would love to mak the same journey.
Hallo,
Incredible what a sound!!!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful video!!❤❤
With love from the Netherlands.
WOW!
Just wow! Looking forward to the concert.
Wow! Outstanding instrument.
Beautiful place, music and video! Thank you!

Beautiful organ with a beautiful sound! I laughed when the bells were ringing and people started running down the steps!
Thx for this incredible tour 😎
Absolutely gorgeous.
What a GLORIOUS sound!
Fantastic place and I could imagine the amazing sound from this organ would be live !
I like that part with soup haha :)

It's amazing!!!
Although the village has been a place of pilgrimage for some time, the basilica was apparently completed only in 2004. What an extraordinary building, especially the asymmetric towers.
Amazing and wonderful tour. The console is huge. Always love your video's
the only such a large church in the world built in the 21st century and only with the sacrifices of the faithful, Poland is truly a believing nation!
What a beautiful, marvelous venue! All shiny and bright. When was it built? Such an uplifting, happy place to worship, or just to wonder at the magnificence.

I imagine you'd want arms a good 30cm longer than usual to play the top two manuals comfortably for any length of time!
That bell sounded beautiful!
Thanks for this nice video. And big thanks to Jonathan for his performance at the concert. We came with my son just to listen him from Brno (Czech Republic) and it was worthy of this trip. Btw. how did you record that magnificient sound you're using in the video?
Please please please do a CD or something of this organ - the repertoire list could be huge - love to hear the widor 6th symphony or the suite gothique ❤️😍👍🏻🍻👏🏻
Maybe you should go to Philadelphia and visit and play the Wanamaker Organ with its 27000 pipes. I‘d be looking forward to an event like that.
Same! That’s one I would be able to see in person!
Is their a CD recorded on this instrument at all? What an incredible space
It's beautiful! Don't you wanna come to Brno and our cathedral of saint Peter and Paul?
Delightful, as always! Now do tell us, how can anyone productively use more than four manuals on an organ console?
With modern electronically controlled consoles, there isn't really any need for more than four manuals.
Awesome instrument. I immediately looked the place up - when the Basilica was built, and of course, the organ. ( See Wikipedia for the history and photos). I look forward to the upcoming concert!From Warsaw's Sister City, Chicago, U.S.A.

Thought that you might both be in Heaven. Totally glorious in every way. Oh, England you are so out of everything good.
There are very many fine organs in England. We are not missing out on anything.
I would love to hear you play the Wannamacher organ in Philadelphia
Me too!
Now THAT is an organ worthy of J.S. Bach....it can GROWL like a beast!!!
Hope You make it out to the USA to play at Wanamaker's/Macy's, Boardwalk Hall and West Point. Talk about enormous organs!
Some of the nicest sounding organs in the USA are lesser known but equally impressive instruments by American organ builders. The Scott Brothers' agents may care to look out for some of the USA organs demonstrated by, for example, Balint Karosi or Paul Fey.
@@peteacher52 Paul Fey has recently done a few video shorts on large US organs
Jonathan ,haven't you played the organ in the Basilica in Leżajsk?
Oh Lord, the NOODLES 😂 They are indeed part of the soup, usually in local home-style restaurants like this they will prepare the noodles early and they will wait till the broth is ready so it's properly warm when you start eating and the noodles don't get soggy.

The organ case reminds me of the conference center organ
Wonderful performance by Jonathan! I would like to say thank you Gentlemen :) I was there during your concert and I'm really impressed by your skills. Jonathan, how you are able to distinguish these sounds?? The acoustics in this place are terrible (that''s my personal feelings) and sounds bounce/interfere with each other many many time. I can't image how hard it is to play with this echo :)
The sound arrives a long time after you press the keys, so the best way to play is to trust your hands and not listen to what is happening.
Sarebbe bello vedervi suonare al più grande organo d'Italia. Quello del Duomo di Milano!
What is the name of masterpiece that plays from 3:42 ? Is this 2nd symphony adagio?
Please, let me know! :D
Did you record an album there??
next in poland NOSPR GIANT ORGANS
Please play Philip Glass - Koyaanisqatsi
It would be awesome 😊
So does the pipe organ surround you?
Bro,go next Praise The Lord With Drums And Cymbals

Name of the piece at 10:00. That's epic
End of the Thieving Magpie Overture by Rossini.
Perhaps you meant to ask “Name of the piece at 10:00 PLEASE”?
Than heavens their stabdard of Organ playing isn't the same as their bed-making!!
Isn't it good that they have their priorities right ? Anybody who can make their bed neatly should be consciupted into the army.
Wait this organ has 6 manuals ? 😳
Say hello to me.
Hello, Bogdan.
Ist das die ehemalige Sauer-Orgel aus der Breslauer Jahrhunderthalle?
No, it is not. This organ is built by Zych, Polish organbuilder. Especially for this huge basilica.
Der Rest des Orgels hat im Breslau geblieben, in Kathedrale der St Johannes der Täufer
And it will be refurbished this or maybe next year. Maybe by Zych.
@@lukassmolaga2327 God forbid! They're rubbish with historic instruments.
The basilica is absolutely hideous, quite a shame. Luckily, it's not the architecture you two were after, hope you've had a great time. Thanks a milion for Your work ❤.
It's gaudy beyond belief, like so many Catholic churches.
Welcome to the Catolic Disneyworld...
