THE ORGAN OF MANCHESTER TOWN HALL
CAVAILLÉ-COLL, PARIS 1877 & 1893
T.C. LEWIS, BRIXTON 1912
JARDINE, MANCHESTER 1970
This organ was originally built with three manuals and pedals by the celebrated French organ builder Aristide Cavaillé-Coll in 1877. Cavaillé-Coll returned to enlarge the instrument and added a fourth solo manual in 1893. The organ was rebuilt and further enlarged with the addition of a fifth manual by T.C. Lewis in 1912. A minor rebuild took place by Jardine Organ Builders in 1970 which provided a new console.
The organ contains the largest body of Cavaillé-Coll pipework in the UK and despite years of neglect it remains one the finest and most important musical instruments in Britain. The organ became unreliable for concerts in the late 1990's and large parts of the instrument are unplayable due to collapsing pipework, perished leatherwork or mechanical/electrical failure. The Grade I listed Town Hall is currently closed for a 330 million pound restoration until 2024 which will require the temporary removal and storage of this instrument.

By all that’s holy; if this is how magnificent this organ sounds in its sorry need of restoration, imagine how glorious it will sing when restored! It is a treasure waiting to be unburied, swept clean of neglect and time, and polished with the organ builder’s art. Then, by God, we will hear a marvel! ❤️❤️🇨🇦
This place is the Paradise of the organists!
Love the timbre of those pedals. The "Sortie" definitely awoke the old Cavaillé-Coll. Great register!
Bravo - wonderful performance .
Many thanks for this upload.
Simply wonderful: the performance and the video! Congratulations to you two!
This is sounds fantastic 🥰😀🎹🎼🎶🎵
Superb!
Wonderfuly powerful.
Impecável. Lindo demais! 👏🙌🥳♥️🥰🙏
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!❤🎼🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹
If those brilliantly violent pedal reeds are telling of the potential of this instrument once restored then my goodness, I really hope that happens some day.
SUPER!!!
Bravo! I’m currently working on this piece and enjoyed your performance very much.
Brillant , quoique un peu fête foraine . Surprenant !
O Jonathan vira o órgão de tubos do lado avesso. 🤣🤣🤣🙏🙏🙏 É muita energia!
Für Orgelliebhaber ist Jonathan Scott ein Wunder!
I'd like ro see your arrangement of the Saint-Saens organ symphony performed on this organ. This is likely the type of organ Saint-Saens had in mind.
Will C. May+ I would like to hear that arrangement on a washboard! I'm going to go listen to it right now. Scott Brothers are without serious challengers
Great job. 😊
I'll be on drums for that 😂........soon.
I hope this is restored properly. These organs should be listed and be grant maintained as local councils especially after being hammered by Tory austerity (sorry to be political) can’t afford to restore or maintain these things even if they wanted to and many don’t care. At best they try to do things on the cheap like the disastrous attempted fixing of Southampton Guildhall by an unknown and now folded outfit.
I totally agree and its so sad. Council tax payers and Government subsidy money squandered on stupid and ill advised projects not to mention the disgusting size of the money paid to the pen pushers who couldnt give a shit as long as they get their salary at the end of the year. Earned or not. Doesn"t matter to them. Good pensions at the end too. Thats all they care about. Ill lay a pound to a penny that NONE of them have ever heard or been remotely interested in listening to this fabulous instrument being played. They"ll be more interested in the outcome of MINDLESS programmes like Big Brother, Britains Got Talent???. The X factor and the utterly deplorable and inane Love Island. Thankfully i have NEVER watched ANY of these so called "reality tv " programmes. I dont need to. Im intelligent enough to second guess how CRAP they must be.
echt super bestimmt schön schwer
When was this recording made. It states that the organ became unplayable in 1990. It was removed form the building while the hall was undergoing restoration. It would be in storage until 2024. Yet the date on the posting is 2018. What is going on here? Was there an error in the dating of construction and restoration. The organ was made playable and installed in 2014. What ever the sequence this thing is astounding even though it is no longer an A. C-C. Before the outrage starts - remember that pipes collapsed and the organ has been tonally changed. What we hear now is not the sound that Cavaille-Coll intended. Someone has added scenes to the Rembrandt - SO - it is no longer original. You could say a large organ the majority of which is Cavaille-Coll. and what about the chests. It is also apparent that this organ is unified to some degree. Those reeds are truely impressive, powerful, smooth. This is a magnificent organ, No question about that.
The organ was not removed until 2019, presumably the hall was closed to the public but still open for recordings.
Thank you, Jonathan, for this festive "Going out" piece.
I'm assuming that the organ will be refurbished as well as the building?
por que corre tanto, si nadie lo apura? desvirtua la obra
aweful piece of music to play
As a trained organist myself (been playing for 25 years) I find the tempo way too fast. All musicality is lost. It's asortie not a a scherzo
