A combination I never would have thought of, his mighty organ and a lowly guitar. We need to thank the third member of this group, the Engineer who shaped the power of the music to bring out the best of each and kept the one from swallowing the other. Awesome music, unforgettable!
I was born in 1960, but not in the.US. however I have lived and breathe last echoes of the hippie movement and freedom and those wonderful era of creativity in music and... This is one of these.songs. It's so absurd to see what the world.has turned into. I'm a survivor, and is very painful to hear this song, it makes.me.sad and nostalgic
I never knew a piece of music can communicate a message this clearly. The feeling of old memory, the emotions of missing someone who is dear... Sure was unexpected this piece on my way to work. Perhaps life is unexpected after all, for it is in the hand of God.
@@josht.1317 In a way I agree with you. At least I would say the guitar should'nt overshadow the sound of the organ, which is without a doubt flawless.
I always loved this song from the moment it came out way back in 1967. It’s one of those tunes that just makes you feel good every time I hear it. This is a wonderful version and so glad I found it. Thank You both !!!!!!
What a treat and to think this beautiful concert hall is only a few miles away from my home. Looking forward to attending a live concert. Great job guys and thankyou.
I just wanted you guys to play for ever, I absolutely love this tune, when I first heard as a child back in the early 70s it has stuck in a very special part of my mind. This performance is outstanding, wish I could give you a million likes. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
In 1968 I spotted a beautiful man on the other side of the dance floor of a smokey club. The DJ started to play this song and a moment later we were dancing. He is my husband now. This song has always evoked an emotional response from both of us. When we hear it on the radio a mischievous smile blossoms on our faces along with a twinkle in our eyes. I learned BWV 1068 a couple of years earlier. Registration imitates a B3 except for lack of key clicks and a Leslie spinning up. The resultant 32' is a nice touch. rainbow
lovely, fringing lovely it is. thanks 3;30, SOUNDS LIKE 100 VIOLINS ARE PLAYING ! THE ORGAN INSTRUMENT IS AMAZING ! Johnny Lake is a great product of Liverpool, Nova Scotia, as was Hank Snow !!!!
Awesome. Wish someone would have the ballocks to play that on the organ at my church on a Sunday. (Church of Scotland) Raise a few eyebrows amongst the old dears!
An beautiful combination for an exceptional piece of subtle music. Very well suited.for the organ which it was originally composed for, I think. Keep your excellent music coming Xaver Varnus on your Cassavante. You are a GENIUS!!
A "Sápadtabb árnyalatú" felvételt az egész életen át tartó barát, a legendás magyar színésznő, Törőcsik Mari (1935-2021) szeretetteljes emlékének szentelem. Az 1967-es Procol Harum orgona és gitár dalának átirata Johnny Lake gitáros és Xaver Varnus előadásában a Casavant Organon, saját koncerttermében, Brooklynban, Új-Skóciában. A szám eredeti címe : A halványabbnál is fehérebb árnyalat. Kislányként ez volt a kedvenc számom :(

Добрый вам вечер Уважаемый Автор этого замечательного видео спасибо вам огромное за это прекрасное видео и дай вам бог крепкого здоровья счастья и успехов с Уважением К вам Катя Ушакова!!!!😍😍😍😍😍
WOW!!!! One of my favorite pieces played on the Hammond, but first time on the Pipe Organ!!! Excellent 👍🎼🎵🎶🎹🎹🎹 The sound of flowing waters are very soothing and relaxing. Thank you!
Beautiful!! Great way to highlight the freedom you have to play what you choose in your beautiful new church/concert venue, the excellent sound quality and beauty of the property, with adjacent body of water. An organist's paradise. Bravo!!
I want this performed at my funeral. Just. Like. This. Beautiful song. Beautiful people playing beautiful instruments in a beautiful room.
Im a grown man of 37 and this made me cry. It reminds me of the scene from the film The boat that rocked, where it is sinking with records floating
this is the most beautiful version of the song I have ever heard

A beautiful substitution of the guitar for Gary Brooker's vocals, the guitar bringing out the full emotion. Great organ playing too. Bravo.

Know the feeling
This song is absurd. That's what makes it good.
Lovely version of the Procol Harum (English group), hit.
We mourn with those who mourn. Still a wonder of the shared human experience
And with hope for a better and peaceful world!👏💖🙏
I call it "Bach with a beat." Based on J.S.Bach's Air on a G-string. This song inspired me to study the pipe organ in the nearby church.
Procol Harem created a masterpiece. Brings back fond memories. Well played gentlemen.
The beautiful music takes one on a heavenly journey. It's like were lifted to God's eternal home! Very powerful presentation!😀🙏❤

What a beautiful rendition Gary Brooker R.I.P.
Egy csodálatos Művész egy csodálatos Művésznek...szívből jövö, mélyen megérintő.
Beautiful! Brought me peace into this crazy world and assured me that I’m not alone. Thank you!
You are not alone 🇿🇦🥺
Wow, what a beautiful, well said comment. I grew-up in the 60's and this, above all other songs of that era, speaks directly to my heart.
This song is one of my favourit ones. It was interpreted by Annie Lenox too. Wonderful! Thank you!
It´s so beautiful, it made me cry..
me too Gina in Australia

UNVERGÄNGLICHE MUSIK !
ES VERZAUBERT UND LÄSST TRÄUMEN VON EINER WUNDERBAREN FRIEDLICHEN WELT !
Play on Gentlemen. You are brilliant musicians. May God watch over you.
Nova Scotia has been blessed with this world famous organist. Welcome.
Awesome rendition of Whiter Shade of Pale.
They are not playing "amazing Grace."
Respecfully, who in gods name disliked this??
This was such a beautiful version of a song made for crying.
Perfect!
26 trolls 🥺
Because it's not rap or grunge or whatever....
So true even with Proco Harum singing it, it's a classic 👍
@@josht.1317 In a way I agree with you. At least I would say the guitar should'nt overshadow the sound of the organ, which is without a doubt flawless.
@@josht.1317 Yes indeed, the guitar was awful.
Izgalmas a gitár és orgonajáték ! Nagyon klassz ! Köszönöm !!!!!!❤
Xaver, how blessed you are to have your own pipe organ. Words fail me.
I always loved this song from the moment it came out way back in 1967. It’s one of those tunes that just makes you feel good every time I hear it. This is a wonderful version and so glad I found it. Thank You both !!!!!!
May she rest in peace and never be forgotten! This beautiful piece will help!
I could listen to this song over and over and over. One of the most Beautiful songs ever written. Excellent Job. Thank You.
Beautiful version, I hope Procol Harum has heard it.
I have passed by that church so many times in my youth... so great to see it's new use. Listening to that made my day.
Beautiful! What a mix of instruments… simply beautiful!
Just a beautiful peaceful place.
Love to all all
This performance of a whiter shade of pale is superbly played, and is like a hymn of true beauty. Powerful.
One of my favorite songs. I am a New York musician but also have a place in Shag Harbour, NS, not too far away from Brooklyn, NS. Beautiful area.
Superbe le duo entre l'orgue et la guitare. 😊
A long time favorite of mine! Wonderful tribute! Beautifully played!
Simply wonderful!
Entrancing, hauntingly beautiful. Thank you. 😓

@@marcogardois3678 You seem to have stolen my name! What's with that? i did NOT say the above! Are you a troll, or did the computer glitch?
That was wonderful, played at the right tempo. Always been a favorite when done right. Amazing
Way past my bedtime, but keep finding another video that draws me to stay a little longer.
Bravo maestro sei uno dei migliori organisti.
Xaver Varnus is my favorite organist of all time, since first listening to his work many years ago. Thank you!
Well done…a classical rendition…both artists add their emotions and create a lovely atmosphere.
Varnus lets the organ sing. Splendid!
I play this all the time. Love it!
Absolutely heavenly! Thank you!
The best song ever , wonderful rendition
Szuper zenei együttes Ügyesek kedvesek és aranyosak vagytok Öszintén gratulálok

That is a beautiful love story, and on that criterion alone you chose well. Whiter Shade can do that...
Listen to Varnus playing Purcell's "Cold."
Organ blower? Bawahahaha! You have a great sense of humor too!
I love it, the impact of this performance is incredible. The guitar stays calm with the main theme, but the organ is full of emotion😍
lovely, fringing lovely it is. thanks 3;30, SOUNDS LIKE 100 VIOLINS ARE PLAYING ! THE ORGAN INSTRUMENT IS AMAZING ! Johnny Lake is a great product of Liverpool, Nova Scotia, as was Hank Snow !!!!
beautiful. tears and chills. I need less of social media and more of this
Aaahhh easy listening just beautiful 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍👍👍👍
Das geht so richtig durch und durch. Herrlich. Vielen Dank.
One of my favorite songs.Great job with both organ and guitar!!Thank You!!
Listened to it during my first cup of coffee of the day. I didn't finish even my cup, best start up is music I can tell you. Thank you Xaver!
Thanks Both of You very much . This performance of a nostalgic piece touched my soul.
Non immaginavo......felice di aver ascoltato, grazie
Beautiful! Will listen and watch it again! Thank you. Made my evening much nicer, here in the southeastern US.
Wonderful, wonderful rendition of this beautiful song. 🎶 Music for the Soul. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I've always loved this song and this version is totally mesmerising beautifully played lads
This tune was the theme song for Radio Monte Carlo in 1967 when I| went there to see the F1 Grand Prix race. Procul Harem which was a strain of cat.
Köszönet, Xavér, nagyon megsirattam, Méltó búcsú, a szeretett Baráttól :-(
Awesome. Wish someone would have the ballocks to play that on the organ at my church on a Sunday. (Church of Scotland) Raise a few eyebrows amongst the old dears!
❤😊
It will never sound quite as edgy without Leslie. Hey, but well done all the same.
Magnifique , merci
An beautiful combination for an exceptional piece of subtle music. Very well suited.for the organ which it was originally composed for, I think. Keep your excellent music coming Xaver Varnus on your Cassavante. You are a GENIUS!!
Fantastic!
Absolutely emotionally moving and just beautiful version of this classic song .
Take care and love goes to you

Nem biztos, hogy rá mosolyog. Ő sosem hagyta volna el a hazáját.
