Ok 11th time I've watched this video so ❤ it. Beautiful organ
Brilliant...as ever😀😀
I just don't know how you do it👍!!!
But thanks, to both of you
Jonathan....there is no doubt what-so-ever, you are one of the best in the world....if not THE BEST!! Everything you do is brilliant!!!
Excellent! Divine! Amazing! Bravo, Maestro! Standing ovation from Russia!
Saint-Saens, wonderful. A favourite organ piece.
Thanks a lot for the good music!!!
Wonderful as always thanks!
Flawless and superb from beginning to end, as always.
Many thanks to you both for this wonderful recital. 👍❤️
Jonathan Scott's mastery and virtuosity are awesome.
A warm & huge BRAVISSIMO!!
One fabulous job here , this is one of my favorite concerts of yours!
Wonderful music and an absolutely brilliant performance. Thank you so much.
A truly amazing concert Jonathan. I loved your Fantasy Toccata and the Saint Saens sent shivers down my spine. It was magnificent. How I would love to hear these at a venue. The sound must be awesome. Thank you Tom for sound and wonderful visuals. Hope to see you in concert again real soon with Jonathan 😀😀
Absolutely fantastic! Thank you Jonathan and Tom, blessed by your amazing talents.
I love your concerts, always the best selection to play for each organ!
Wonderful concert! Thank you, Mr. Scott! God bless you & your brother for bringing us such beautiful music!
I am glad he played the Saint-Saens. That piece is a staple... one of the best ever composed.
Thank you, thank you for sharing your remarkable talent! As well, thank you for teachings and explanations. I always come away from these concerts having not only been entertained but enlightened. Thank you!
Have listened to this every day and enjoy it so much. Thank you Jonathan.
Thanks for sharing your unique gifts!!
It always amazes me how well the sound of these organs are captured in your videos!!! I'm not a sound engineer but I have a good system to listen to music such as this and the sound quality is quite astonishing IMHO. Well done on that front!!
Thank you Jonathan for sharing your fantastic talent with the world, and your comments in between the music adds so much to the presentation overall and is very much appreciated!!
Another excellent concert.
Thank you Jonathan and Tom !
I've rung the bells there. Only musical instrument I can play! 😂

bhami Thanks. I always find your break-downs helpful.
This was a super concert. Thank you very much! Your own work Fantacy - Toccata is a fantastic piece of music. 👏👏👏
Awwwwsommmme!
Such wonderful transciptions every time.
The Dvorak was beautiful, thanks for the story behind it.
Jonathan!! Your Fantasy Tocatta is absolutely superb! And what a wonderful way to show off that fat 32' reed! I enjoyed the intricacies and urgency of the piece and the subtleties throughout, it put me in mind of so many different pieces of old, Boellman's Toccata from Suite Gothique being just one. I'll be seeking the score out to buy and have a crack at. Thank you for sharing this :-)
Wonderful concert on an organ in my home town. Combination of music and pictures astounding, making it a true delight. Extremely professionally done. What a talented musician - I reckon the organ is one of the hardest instruments to play.
Absolutely incredible performance, with wonderful videography to complement it perfectly. 💜
Thanks, Jonathan, for that wonderful performance - brilliant as usual - and to your brother for his work behind the scenes, to create a most enjoyable experience, second only to being there in person.
Hi my favoriteorganist!
Thank you for a absolutely brilliant and fantastic concert!
Take care of you! Peter in Sweden! 🤗👏👏👏👍👍💖
Really appreciate your "program notes" commentaries and brilliant arrangements. Thanks for another enjoyable program!
Another brilliant concert, a fantastic selection of music and fabulously played on such magnificent organ! I really enjoyed it.
Thanks for the fabulous concert in sight and sound❤️❤️
The concert was wonderful! Thanks so much. Just love all these songs!!
Amazing !
Maravilloso concierto, gracias Janathan, gracias Tom. (Juventino Flores, Córdoba, Veracruz, MÉXICO,)
Just incredible. A tour de force! What a treat! Expertly and engagingly presented from the bench with creative, eye-catching camera work. Hail to the organ whose preeminency is there for all to see - by far the best medium and conduit for music in these topsy turvy times. Brilliant, highly appealing programme. Playing of the first water. One of the musical highlights of 2020. We need more. Can't wait!
EXTRAORDIAIRE... ADRENALINE ON HIGH... THANK YOU!!!!
I’ve been really looking forward to this, Jonathan! I am so pleased you began with the great Handel! I listen to Handel all the time: instrumental, oratorios, organs, pastoral, you name it, I love them all. You are a wonderful musician, Jonathan, and an excellent speaker. Thank you.
Dad and I I enjoying your concert as always. Thank you.
Brilliant as ever! As a child, my family would several times a year go past "The Crooked Spire" on our way to our Grandparents house in Chorlton-Cum-Hardy, Manchester. It was nice to finally see inside the church!
Thank you for this wonderful concert. It really is something to look foreward to and has really helped during lockdown.
Clear,crisp, precise, just excellent Johnathan I love all your organ videos ,also your brother both of u very talented
Thank you so much for sharing your time and considerable talents, both of you. It has been a wonderful concert and good to hear that organ once again.
Wonderful Concert. You are an Amazing Musician and Organist. You always bring out the best in every Organ you play. Brilliant playing as always and an Awesome sound on this Excellent T C Lewis.
Hope to see you perform live again in the not distant future.
All the Best for the future.
Listening to this wonderful rendering has such a relaxing but thoughtful atmosphere. Cares subside for the duration.
This is just marvellous, thank you. The Saint-Saëns piece made me particularly happy.
This appears to be the best program for an online scottbrothersduo concert I have seen so far- and played on a wonderful organ as well. I got very excited when I saw Jonathan's Fantasy-Toccata on there- it is one of my favourite organ works and is very underplayed in my opinion.
Wow! Finally, not only a superlative instrument, but a hugely accomplished organist, and best of all, a sound recordist who understands the requirements for his huge beast, and delivers a video of the highest quality, well considered technical balance and the richest clarity and definition. I thank you most sincerely for this great pleasure. Other organ video producers, take note.
A fantastic organ played by a dear friend!
Bravo! Maestro, that Jonathan was the most fantastic concert yet as far as I am concerned. Brilliantly played with brilliant transcriptions, and arrangements your own fantastic toccata as you say so French in style, I can hear Louis Vierne, and Henri Mulet clapping furiously applauding it ! Not only that but congratulations go to the current custodian organ builders of this absolutely wonderful instrument. As an ex organ builder I can say hand on heart this is one of the very best sounding instruments in this country, beautifully voiced and tuned and all working perfectly by the sound of it. T C Lewis was a fine organ builder, and unfortunately is less well known than his contemporary, Father Willis. But his voicing in this instrument is as good as any that I have heard . The Solo reeds ( tubas I presume) in the opening Hornpipe from the Water Music, sound wonderful, as do the reeds throughout the instrument. All in all this is the best organ concert of this season. Thank you and your brother Tom for bringing us this.
As I play here, I can confirm that the solo reeds on the Solo are a 4’ Clarion, 8’ Tromba and 16’ Contra Trombe
Well said..!!
This is going to be a spectacular concert - Jonathan at his best. He is after all the greatest organist of our time.
I am so happy to see he's going to play his Fantasy -Toccata.
Of course, I love the Dvorak! One of my favorite movements from his 9th, along with a great selection of pieces to go with it!
Beautiful as usual!
Thanks for the concert!!
🤙👍👏👏👏👏👂😊😊
Saludos = cheers
Buenos Aires, Argentina
We are so lucky to be able to experience these concerts by such a wonderful organist on some of the great organs of the late 19th and early 20th centuries! Thanks so much!
I would love to see Mr. Scott give a tour of this magnificent instrument, like he did with the organ of the Royal Albert Hall and MUPA.
I already looking forward to this! You know that i love to hear you play! Take care! Peter in Sweden 🤗🎼🎶💖
Another wonderful recital. A big thankyou for being so amazing in such difficult times. Something else that would be great/fascinating is if amazing brother Tom could make a video about how he produces the technical side of these marvellous productions - the man's a genius!
just fantastic as usual Jonathan!
You are amazing. Beyond words
Thanks again for an outstanding concert.
Thanks for this beautiful concert! Watching you from Lima, Peru!
Ken VanderKodde
Wow!!! watching from Ohio, just love your music.
Hello Jonathan.....This is going to be wonderful .......
This will be very special. 💜
I must say, I was really impressed by the Fantasy-Toccata, and very moved by the Dvorak transcription. Thanks, Scott for playing this recital for us, and Tom for your superb videography.
Thanks, Jonathan and Tom. Beautiful music!
Another great concert, thankyou. First time I have heard your Fantasy Toccato 👍 Beautiful Derbyshire/Chesterfield; I hope the local Well Dressings can resume next year.
Wonderful M. Scott, thanks for this moment ❤️
Wonderful to see the interiors of these churches, what history has pasted through each!
Beautiful. Thank you.
I'll tell you exactly what happens at those weddings Jonathan mentioned. Chummy looks at the music and turns a 'whiter shade of pale', then gets hold of an easy arrangement of the 'Big Tune', and after a C Major blast on 'full organ', plays the theme as many times as necessary to allow the bride and groom to walk out of the church What a fabulous recital, Jonathan. Thank you and Tom so very much.
You and Tom do an outstanding and.wonderful job of making these concerts.delightful.i have another idea about the crocked spire the builders might have been showing off the spire took an ambitious amount of engineering and work to accomplish
LUUUUUV your Fantasy piece!!!!!
Oooh goody, I will be there. Thank you
Another excellent concert Jonathon, loved the Fantasy Toccata, and the Organ. Orchestral sounds on Symphony Number 3 were superb, great to hear the whole piece performed on the Chesterfield instrument, so suited to it. Thank you both!
Thank you so much, Jonathan and Tom! Grew up in Higham, often went to Chesterfield. I miss Derbyshire so much. . .
Making my own "Desert Island Discs" selection, the Saint Saens is my top favourite!
Have the Michael Murray CD, the floor shakes in the finale!
And I love your elegant outfit!
❤️🎹🎼🎹🎼🎹🎼🎹❤️
Votre interprétation du largo (from Symphony No. 9 in E Minor Op. 95 'From the New World') est magnifique ! Vous avez aussi un orgue à la sonorité vraiment belle. Merci des bons moments que vous nous offrez.
"Spectacular concert"!!
Interprétation de très haute volée !! Maîtrise autant de l'interprétation que de la registration
Fabulous, as always.
What Jonathan didn’t say is that he has transcribed the complete Saint-Saëns Organ Symphony! It was such a privilege to be present at its première at the Victoria Hall, Hanley, in April last year. A performance I will always remember.
Computer error on above link, SORRY Video of complete symphony available on Scottbrothersduo listings.
Jonathan Scott é um fenômeno. Brazil!
Thank you.
Wonderful, as always.
The Handel "Hornpipe" has a special place in my heart, as it was the piece we chose for the recessional at our wedding.
The Dvořák "Largo" has, fortunately, never, in my mind, been associated with a bread advertisement, but is widely known in the States as the spiritual "In the Fold."
The Saint-Saëns was definitely a tour de force. That poor organist, indeed!
The Dvorák piece was the theme to a very well known advertisement years ago in the UK promoting a brand of bread we have called Hovis, just to explain that in case you were thinking it a tad random 👍
@@rondon9897 Thanks, but I figured it was a UK-specific thing.
The advert here in the States that had me shaking my head was from about 40 years ago. It was for some baby product and it was a very sweet, calm orchestral piece. I remember thinking, "You do realize this is from Chopin's Funeral March, don't you?"
The bread ad was lost on me, too, because I never watch television. Goodness knows how Jonathan finds the time to do so with all the arrangements, transcriptions and compositions he works on!
oh dear. I was perfectly happy listening to your performance of the last movement of Symphony No. 3 from Albion Church several times a week. Now I have to listen to it twice as many times, wondering which performance I prefer and not reaching any conclusion. Poor old me.
Was working in Chesterfield today. Would have been a fantastic concert live. But still brilliant to watch on UA-cam
Love the large radiator to keep the organist / umm the microphone warm...
That was magnificent. Bravo! Thank you 👏👏👏👏
Just brilliant
Obrigado Sr Jonathan por este concerto é sempre um prazer ver e ouvi-lo tocar
Just caught up with your last two concerts - absolutely brilliant and amazing productions. Thank you again.
Last time we visited Chesterfield Church was to see the talented Josh Stephens from Sheffield Cathedral.
Looking forward to hearing you all again in person.
