Not only do I appreciate the magnificent concert, but , also the fact that you dress for us "on liners" as if the hall was full of concert goers. It all makes you so special to your viewers. We feel part of your journey through these "perilous times", and so appreciate your gift to us.
I agree. Who wants to see a 'Nigel Kennedy' of the organ? (Who wants to see Nigel Kennedy, so far as *I* am concerned? 'Listen to', yes. 'See' - no thanks.)
Tom, you do an awesome job of filming these concerts, the different angles of the performer, the interior and exterior views of the venue. Thanks for putting so much effort into these concerts.
Wonderful, incredible! The church is beautiful and the organ, no words to describe it! I love hearing your stories about composers, churches, and organs! They are very interesting! Tom, as always, made a great video! Congratulations to both for the excellent work! Thank you for everything!

That was great, from your welcoming "Hello" through to the end! Next time you’re playing on such a mighty organ, I’d love to hear Siegfried’s march and funeral music. 🎹 Boom boom, fortissimo 🎹❤️❤️❤️
Was only thinking the other day how lovely it would be hear the Eroica on the organ (listening to Jonathon playing Beethoven'ts Fifth Symphony), and here is the first movement. Bravo bravo bravo. Great concert.
Yet another wonderful concert of Jonathan’s. Always superb perfection through and through. His passion for music, his own arrangements of pieces and everything he does, not to mention his instrument playing, never fails to shine through. I loved the Beethoven especially. All wonderful played on such a great organ in another magnificent church. Tom’s superb recording and filming only enhances the music and the church/building it’s performed in every time. We are privileged to be able to enjoy the combined talents of these two brothers. Thank you so much Jonathan and Tom.
I became familiar with this organ from a 1961 recording of The Crucifixion by John Stainer that was recorded at St. Bart's. It's delightful - and comforting - to hear it sounding so good, and obviously very well taken care of. The varied camera shots just enhance the experience. I didn't realize that it's a tracker until just now.
Hello Jonathan, You took us on a trip through some of the best work composed by our greatest composers. This concert was a pure delight! Thank you for sharing these great musical pieces with us, and as always, thank you for your wonderful and insightful commentary! Be well, Will Ortiz
You mentioned slipping out to the pub in the sermon. An organist friend of mine used to slip out into the churchyard and have a quiet smoke in the sermon. One day he forgot to release the catch on the vestry door and found himself locked out, so he had humiliate himself and come in through the west door in full view of the Vicar and congregation. Apparently his choir fell about laughing.
Yet again, the full package: Great instrument, beautiful venue, amazing performance, and top notch video and audio! I so enjoy these concerts! Thank you!
Have attended many recitals here in the past but now live in Cumbria and only occasionally have the opportunity, so it was a great pleasure to view and hear this. Thank you Jonathan and Tom and the good folk of St. Bartholomew's.
Jonathan’s online concerts are always brilliant but I’d go so far as to say that this is not only one of his very best but also one of the very best you’ll find by anyone on TH-cam. Although everything was wonderful and the transcription and performance of Eroica were exceptional, it was the Liebestod which stood out for me; it was utterly miraculous and I can’t imagine a better performance of it. As ever, the filming and recording were superb, too. Thank you so much, Jonathan and Tom. 💜
Wagner Wagner Wagner just amazing - I don't know what it is about transcriptions from his opera's to the organ that are just perfect! Sublime is an understatement! I would love you to do a whole performance of Wagner works! What an amazing building and organ performance as ever!!
Fugue in Emin BWV 533 How many of you have heard of Richard Keys Biggs? He presided over the Casavant organ in Blessed Sacrament, Hollywood for many years, a fine musician but not all that well known. In 1962 when 14, I bought a small 45rpm vinyl of him playing this (which is still useable). Jonathan has given it much the same hearing; Bravo!!
Excelente actuación y fantásticas imágenes. El lugar es precioso y el órgano suena grandioso y es excepcional. Felicidades a ambos y muchas gracias por compartir momentos de cultura y felicidad en nuestras vidas!!😘😘👏👏👏
So wonderful to hear this magnificent organ 👏 Bravo and thank you for helping to keep these kings of instruments alive and relevant, we look forward to the day when our beautiful 1872 hill organ plays once more
Fantastic concert, every piece performed was top! The commentary by Jonathan so interesting and the sound and videography by Tom of the highest class. Beethoven, Jonathan, Tom and the Schulze are a marriage made in heaven.
Such grand music needs to be played on a grand organ, and this one certainly looks more than equal to the job! I can hardly wait to hear this program! Thanks Jonathan and Tom for all the work you put into these wonderful concerts! 🌞🎵📷
This concert really had everything and having the world première of the Eroica transcription here provided the perfect finale. I loved hearing about the history of the instrument, such an interesting (and illustrated) summary of extensive research. Here in the UK we’ve recently seen on BBC TV a fascinating series “A House Through Time”, also about Leeds. Equally enjoyable, I think, would be a complementary series from Armley titled “An Organ Through Time”!
Good morning Joan, Yes - last Saturday was yet another tour de force of unparalleled virtuosity.. Jonathan and Tom compliment each other like a seamless glove. What else can I say that hasn't already said. Will you be at the BWH on Nov 9th ?
Realmente es tan grandioso como tocan estos hermanos, que no encuentro las palabras para expresar lo grandioso que es escuchar un concierto. Dios bendiga sus talentos. Saludos desde Santiago de Chile

Bravo. Eroica fitted the Schulze like a glove. I believe my Great Grandfather was one of the few others Tom Cawthra allowed to play this rolls royce of an organ. Just a wonderful recital!
The Program from Chester Cathedral has a rival. Bach, .Beethoven, and Wagner! Spectacular! (Would love to hear "Elsa's Procession to the Cathedral " from Lohengrin). From Chicago, U.S.A.
The music of the first piece was so often heard in my childhood cartoons of the day, that it was difficult to appreciate the piece in its entirety on that magnificent organ.---And, I don't know if it's my imagination, but the pedal sounds seemed uniquely different on that organ. I enjoyed that very much.---Thanx also to Tom, for the immensity of the environment.
Thank you for this wonderful concert. Actually unfair to emphasize something, but Beethoven was brilliant and Wagner interpreted and played outstandingly 👏👏👏💐
Thanks, again, Jonathan and Tom for your generosity in providing us all with another superb online organ concert. Jonathan, your enormous talent and skill as an organist - and transcriber - never ceases to amaze me! The "Eroica" (1st movement) - which, as you said, you only completed the other day was breathtaking - as was your previous complete performance of his 5th Symphony!
Once again thank you for sharing your outstanding musical talent. Your enthusiasm for the music and wonderful instruments you demonstrate is truly inspirational combined with your innovative musical arrangements the entertainment is complete! Thanks Jonathan & Tom
What a fantastic concert on a really special organ. Thank you Jonathan for some amazing arrangements and your usual virtuosic presentation - and thank you Tom for the amazing video and audio production. A wonderful wonderful experience 😊
An Organ I recorded many times, thanks to Graham and Chris. A superb instrument, and one that I am looking forward too hearing and given the Jonathon and Tom "touch"
Last time I was at Armley was 50 years ago. The recital was given by Carlo Curley who made a very obvious mistake. He turned to the audience and grimaced. I guess that we won’t be getting a repeat performance of that this evening. Thinking about that, I have just listened to Carlo on Desert Island Discs from 1982. In that programme he predicated that organists who didn’t investigate computer organs wouldn’t be able to have a job in 15 to 20 years!
I'm wondering if Gottschalk's Grand Tarantelle Opus 67 (for solo piano) would transcribe to organ without muddying up? Just a thought. Love the concert today. 💝 from California.
I’m curious how well the 5 rank gt mixture blends in the actual building. I have been playing this instrument on hauptwerk for awhile and find that mixture to be quite overwhelming.
if i had a house with a pipe organ in it. I'd have to die before anyone would even be allowed to sell it. What is this thing with castle type houses that are large enough to put a pipe organ in it? And why didn't this come over to Belgium, like many other British things?
This may be the first organ I've heard with pneumatic key action. Perhaps the voicing and scale also contribute to what sounds like a slow-to-speech articulation. I found it interesting. Possibly the least articulate organ voicing I've ever heard. As always, Jon's playing and Tom's filming skills are quite wonderful.
Not only do I appreciate the magnificent concert, but , also the fact that you dress for us "on liners" as if the hall was full of concert goers. It all makes you so special to your viewers. We feel part of your journey through these "perilous times", and so appreciate your gift to us.
I agree.
Who wants to see a 'Nigel Kennedy' of the organ?
(Who wants to see Nigel Kennedy, so far as *I* am concerned? 'Listen to', yes. 'See' - no thanks.)
I completely agree. Organists tend to be fairly smart.
Wow! Was für ein Instrument. So herrlich gespielt....
Tom, you do an awesome job of filming these concerts, the different angles of the performer, the interior and exterior views of the venue. Thanks for putting so much effort into these concerts.

Quelles somptueuses interprétations! La virtuosité du tournage et de la musique sont la marque d'excellence des frères Scott. Bravo !
The Liebestot was beyond fabulous.
That was great, from your welcoming "Hello" through to the end!

Thoroughly enjoyed this concert and particulary the history of the organ.
So nice to meet the man behind the organ. So often I just see his back.
Another beautiful concert. It completed so well my Easter Sunday.
Thanks guys for everything music pictures and great selections

Great performance on an a lovely gem of an organ in the UK. Well done and mega thank you.

Hello!!!
Jonathan and Tom it was so good as always!!! Thank you very much!!,
I am Happy!!!!!

The Eroica is going to be spectacular! I can't wait to hear Jonathan's transcription/arrangement. O, what grandeur you treat us to!!!

Just incredible! Thank you so much for including the specification as well, it's greatly appreciated!
I love Beethoven's 3rd symphony and have never heard it played on an organ before. Brilliant!
Fantastic concert, every piece performed was top! The commentary by Jonathan so interesting and the sound and videography by Tom of the highest class.
Beethoven, Jonathan, Tom and the Schulze are a marriage made in heaven.
Dichter und Bauer, just fantastic! Great memories to this piece played on my fathers streetorgan

Fantabulous! What a program for this genuine German Romantic organ.
As ever, the commentary added to the music. Educational as well as entertainment.
Very excited! Looking forward!
Recorded the day before my birthday!
Oh wow, can’t wait! Thanks in advance, Jonathan and Tom!

Brilliant as ever, waiting for the rest of movements of Eroica.
Fantastic recital. Many thanks as always.
Family commitments have been met. We had a marvelous time, and the cake was a hit! Now I'm going to sit back, relax and enjoy your concert. Thanks xx
Stunning - dare I say it - your best yet (difficult to say as they’re ALL brilliant)!
