I liked this - its typical Gershwin music exploring what today would be called classical jazz

[@Rollkragenpullover]

Als ich las "Gershwin Preludes", wußte ich sofort, daß sie auf der Orgel großartig klingen müssen, zumal wenn Jonathan sie arrangiert hat und spielt! Phantastisch, vielen Dank! Früher hätte man wer weiß wohin pilgern müssen, um so etwas hören und sehen zu können. Dank TH-cam, Jonathan und Tom bekommen wir es ins Wohnzimmer übertragen! Klasse! 👏👍🎶🎹😊

[@debsg2024]

Gershwin is very difficult to play and Jonathan played great as always. The images also match the music. Tom managed to express the modernity of the music with the beautiful images of Singapore. 💯❤👋👋👋

[@kateclark7250]

I never imagined Gershwin on a pipe organ. This was great!!

[@johnfranks9602]

This is another musical work that gives strong feelings , Gershwin is always recognizable, this is yet another wonderful organ, that has some great sounding stops Jonathan used for great listening, nice change of composer, for a variety, again thanks to Tom for sound quality, sure it can be difficult at times.

[@carolpredeth9866]

Wonderful to hear some Gershwin pieces I hadn't heard before! You give us such a great variety of musical works to entertain us. The views of Singapore at night were impressive too. It always lifts my spirits when I receive a notification that you have uploaded a new video. Thank you both for everything that you do. xx

[@peternaryd_operasinger]

Absolutely fantastic Jonathan!👏👏👏

[@lenaN5k8Q9]

Amazing played👏👏👏

[@mariadesa1434]

Very interesting music! This arrangement must have been very difficult, but it was great! Thank you both for this beautiful video!

[@amangogna68]

Great music and amazing player !

[@CA999]

Nicely recorded in both audio and video thank you.

[@anjasalentijn145]

Hallo,
Yes you immediatley recognize Gerswin of course!
Thank you B B.
With Love from the Netherlands.

[@richardslater1835]

You continually out do yourself. Wonderful

[@miriamcaraquitena]

Qué imágenes más bonitas de Singapur y qué lugar tan impresionante!! La música es diferente a todo lo que he escuchado de Jonathan pero ha estado magnífico, como siempre!!
Gracias por compartir y felicidades a los dos!! 👏👏👏💖

[@georgeb1364]

I had hoped you would take on some Gershwin and you did! Thank you!!!!! Oh those pedals! One would need to be there. Hope you get Tom at the keyboard for more Gershwin Duos. If I may be so bold as to ask for another American work - Fanfare- Richard Purvis.

[@43pier12]

Grazie, Maestro.

[@owenesquivelph]

If you want to look and eat durian, visit Philippines; especially in Davao. Pipe organ wise, Manila Cathedral has a Dutch one, by Pels and Zoon. Also, the historical Las Piñas Bamboo organ.

[@mandyofmarymac]

George and Ira were favorites with my grandparents. But I don't remember this one. Thanks for enlightening me. xx

[@alanatolstad4824]

I couldn't make the magic happen for me with this one today.

[@pixibelle3282]

Beautiful music.

[@richardslater1835]

If George could only hear your transcription of his music, I he would roll over in his grave.

[@annemcgirt5296]

Might rise again jumping for joy!

[@jorgezacharias4447]

Beautifull, like a Wurlitzer organ, theatre organ.

[@wmalden]

The second one is my favorite.

[@robertlancaster8190]

Same here…

[@ЮлияМихеева-н3л]

чудо рождения из тишины

[@edcew8236]

On the opening, you really needed second touch, maybe pizzicato touch. (Think WurliTzer)

[@timauger]

Wonderful to hear from the place where I sent half my adult life!

[@timauger]

Or should I say spent!
