The Scott Brothers need to be supported due to their imaginative, brilliant photography, performances in making stunning European organs available for the entire world!
A truly good musician is one who can make it look so easy that you're inclined to think, 'Heck I could do that.' Except you can't. Jonathan Scott is one of those musicians.
I could just picture the horses galloping around and about in and out...
It never ceases to amaze me how Mr. Scott's fingers FLY across those ranks without missing a note! One of the best organists around in my opinion.
May we suggest that his fingers fly across the keys and he is adept at hand registration. This is a quality that any decent organist has. Unfortunately the "Modern crop of key pushers are not taught how to do this. People like Scott are a rarity - Old School.
I like Gert van Hoef from the Netherlands better.
@@USMCHammer Your choice, yet very few know of Gert. Jonathan Scott is not only excellent organist, but also superb entertainer! Very few organists can adapt whole Symphonies and play them, like Jonathan, without being superficial. Not everything, he adapts, should be adapted to organ, but more often than not, he does a superb job!
@@USMCHammer I love both.
The music choice is incredible and to me is one of the best organist yet
The nostalgia of remembering old cartoons (old like 40's through 80's old) i used to watch as a kid
Einfach grandios und bravourös...!
Exciting transcription performance and complete with imaginative registrations, brilliant virtuosic playing; Jonathan is one of the truly great transcription performers.
SUPERB: organ, playing, music choice, filming and setting. Congratulations to all involved and a big thanks to Leeds City Council and it's residents for maintaining such a fine instrument and auditorium
Exactly who are the numpties who gave this piece of musical brilliance the thumbs down ........ there are some really weird people in the organ world!
Just beautiful song
So radiant, colourful and joyous in all it’s glory it makes you feel as though you could fly!!
Never heard before. I'm totally flashed. In lovely memory of my father (+), his favourite music piece.
Jonathan, thanks for a delightful sonic romp through von Suppe's piece. Your arrangements are
never, ever disappointing. It is wonderful to have the skills you possess demonstrated on the
great variety of organs. Your registrations encompass the range of the dynamics, and the video
and sonic recordings by Tom put you in good stead. Again, blessings to you and those you love.

Nice to read an article the other day about how this organ is undergoing a full refurbishment currently.
Whenever I need a pick-me-up I choose one of your videos, such as this, and you never disappoint. Thank you Mr. Scott and Mr. Scott.
Spectacular!
Bravo!!!
Jonathan Scott single-handily negates the need for an orchestra (Well actually double-handily with the addition of his feet)!
You are playing marvellous.
The transcription of well known classical music is beautiful.
I love more the original pieces written for organ but your transcriptions are well sounded..
Thanks 🙏 for your recitals and explain the organs and stops.
Greetings from the Netherlands.
Bravo !! :-)
Marvelous!
Wonderful!!
Wonderful!
Wonderful
Most enjoyable!
Looking forward very much to hearing this ‘live’ at the Town Hall on Monday, along with the rest of Jonathan’s programme 🎹
Fantastic!
Many thanks, Jonathan and Tom.
Excellence all around with regards to playing, sound, video presentation. Thank you both!
Super excellent with very good interesting video
"The original work is set in a 19th-century Austrian village where several love intrigues and the discovery of a father-daughter relationship are accompanied by the arrival of a regiment of hussars." (Wikipedia) Who knew?
I enjoy all of your music, keep it up Scotty.
Bravo!!!! Masterfull yet again!!!
Bravo. A wonderful performance on a magnificent organ!
I was there, and a very enjoyable programme it was too, well done sir :-)
Thrilling playing on a truly grand English instrument.
I especially appreciate the stoplist/specification provided below the video.
great job, chapeau!
Klasse gespielt.👌👌👌
Played this wonderful organ a couple of times accompanying the City of Leeds Pipe Band. Very large pipe organ on nearly full organ + 16 sets of bagpipes = seriously loud!
great arrangement and playing of course - hey jonathan can you do stars and stripes forever...ha
Mr. Scott, you in a league with Vigil Fox, E.Power Biggs, et al! And YOU are truly a magnificent talent!
Not Biggs - He was a purist. Be did not believei transcriptions not did he play them. He was, however a brilliant organist the only one who never earned a living as a church organ. He was devoted to bringing tracker organs to the usa and by so doing caused the destruction or modification of thousands of beautiful instruments, works of some of the finest builders in the USA. People regret this transformation now but it is too late. We can only reflect on the legacy of the recordings that Biggs left behind and admire his efforts to bring the Classical Pipe Organ to the masses - As did Virgil Fox and the inimatible LaMere
@@organbuilder272 I must agree with your standpoint. I think this young performer, Mr. Scott, is defining a new way to play and enjoy organ music. He embarked in the very difficult trip of transcriptions for organ, with such technical expertise and musical sense, that I've never seen before.
Congratulations Jonathan, YOU just hit another HOME RUN! Truly superb!
Thrilling performance, thank you.
Great performance!! BTW, the facade on that organ is amazing! I'll bet that's a million dollars worth of artwork!😲😁👍
It is called Stenciling. Quite common on many of the older organs especially in the early USA builders. Hutchings, Ryder, Hook, Johnson.
The entire inside of the hall is painted with various stone effects, and that wonderful dark blue half dome over the organ with golden stars, and at the top of each column is a rams head. The money to build the hall came from the wool trade
Wonderful sounding organ! But I honestly didn't recognise the music until 2:30 - I guess that's the famous part that's used in so many movies, TV shows etc
Das tönt eindeutig nach einem offiziellen Nachfolger für X.V. Hu
I hope to hear Haydn's surprise symphony 2nd movement on organ
First time I heard this was on a Walt Disney interpretation
It's difficult to find a suitable adjective. Bravissimo.
This piece sounded so familiar. What was this music later used in?
Sounds like the old children's song; The bears goes over the mountain

Can you do a complet tour of this organ ?
If you mean going inside the organ, I think the answer is almost certainly 'no', but you can look online at the National Pipe Organ Register entry No N02952. This has the full specification and five photographs of the organ including one of some of the interior pipework.
I think he was asking Jonathan Scott if he would do one of his YT video descriptions and demonstrations of the stops of this organ similar to the one he did for Bridgewater Hall concert organ.
Dla odmiany, napisze po polsku. To jest po prostu kurwa genialne.
is this a tracker? how many stops or ranks? it must have power steering!
sounds and looks great!
81 speaking stops, electro-pneumatic action. There are three 32 feet pedal stops, and the Great Organ division contains a 'Grand Chorus' stop with five/ seven ranks. The organ originally had 105 stops and five manuals, but was rebuilt in its present form. It's still very much larger than you might think from looking at the console with only three manuals. The giveaways are the numerous pistons and other registration aids. There must be well over 100 ranks.
Two corrections to my first comment in the interests of accuracy, The Gray and Davison organ originally had 100 speaking stops - not 105. Also, it then had four manuals. The fifth division, the Echo organ, could be played on the 'Solo Orchestral' or Choir manuals.
The story gets slightly more complicated. My "Dictionary of Organs and Organists", 1922, states "5 manuals, 92 speaking stops, 16 couplers". That ought to have been the accurate picture in 1922.
wow, no glitter on the pipes?
Do all those heavily ornamented front pipes speak or are they purely facade or decoration? Most of the organs I have seen with front speaking pipes are not ornamented.
They always do. They're known as Open Diapasons
Thank you. Sometimes the facade pipes are just that and do not speak.

As an example, I believe the 32' facade pipes on the LDS Tabernacle organ are non-speaking.
Relying on memory, the 32' facade pipes in the Salt Lake City Tabernacle organ are of wood, and gilt, and my impression (subject to correction!) is also that they are non-speaking having solid mouths. They are survivors from the original 1867 organ built by Joseph Ridges. The organ case was widened in Schoenstein's 20th century major rebuild.
Remember when this was originally built. Stenciled pipes were in fashion at that time and the cases were designed with the fashion that the pipes would be stencled. Likely those case pipes all speak - It is customary to put the largest pipes in the case to save interior space.
You and your team must clean each and every console before recording, no? They are all so neat, tidy, dirt and especially dust free. Please reply, pretty please:) Bravo (again!) by the way!!
It's played nearly every week and is properly cared for! Not much time to collect dust.
Forget the tuning and maintaining, just refreshing the paintwork would cost a fortune.
Why not a familiar old Broadway tune. Why all the gloom? Is champagne music to hard to play?
Skillfully executed, and yet just wrong. I shall be haunted by the mockery of Schwartzenburgs Uhlans
