Thanks for that, now I need to replace the glass in the living room windows before the wife gets home !!!
If you don't get chills, you're not human.
I always felt the orchestral version needed more ORGAN! I'll be fine now :D
Just a tad more "cow bell" too! :)
Lol, me too! X
Lol this isn’t the orchestral version tho lol
@@joshgutierrez7380 That's rather the point.
@@SingularCherubim no…. It’s not lol because this isn’t the orchestral version with “more organ” it’s an organ solo adaptation. Loose the tude thank you
Babe the movie was the first time that I had ever heard an Organ or Orchestral rendition of this tune - but this arrangement by Jonathon Scott is truly magnificent.
Been searching for this piece ever since I saw Babe
@@Nonkel_Jef The first time I heard this was at Epcot ,Impressions of France 1982
A full orchestra wasn't needed. It is an organ piece after all. That's all I wanted to hear. What a master. He had both hands and feet going at the same time. A truly amazing artist.
technically it's an orchestral work with organ written by a composer who played organ very well wanting to bring the organ sound to an orchestra but also to stick his nose at Berlioz who said the organ could no way work well with a full orchestra
It’s not really a true organ symphony- only two out of four parts have organ in it and mostly as an afterthought
Yebo
Once in my life I need to be in the presence of such an organ played with such skill and passion. Also I want to hear all the octave doubled bass shaking my very core.
BRAVO! An all-organ version of the finale of the 'Organ' symphony is long overdue. It gave me goosebumps!
He also have a full organ version of the COMPLETE Symphony (movement 1 and 2 included), not just the finale.
I did see that and intend to check it out. Thanks!

Simply outstanding. He played this once at my church to end an organ recital and I'm still blown away by it everytime I hear it. One can only hope to be this good!
Jonathan Scott's own arrangement - consequently no sheet music - every note played from memory. That is talent!
I have listened to this twice today. 3rd repeat coming up now:
Got it on auto-repeat:

Jonathan Scott plays his own arrangement from memory. Here's a challenge to all aspiring South Africans. Do better than this, and you will be okay.
Well what can I say
Breathtaking
He outclasses a complete orchestra on his own.
I totally agree! This sounds better than most orchestra + organ finales! The orchestra always seems to drown out the organ.
@@Video7Rose
Not necessarily. A big, powerful organ, such as we have in the UK, as in many other countries (not just in America!), is capable of overwhelming a 70-piece orchestra. It's just that the conductors and orchestras don't like it!
@@jbr9813 LOL! 😄 I'm sure you're right, but it does a disservice to the movement if we can't really hear the organ. As far as I'm concerned, the orchestra & conductor need to watch out, because Jonathan Scott has shown that they're not even needed! 😂
@@Video7Rose Why he's even scoffed away the sheet music.
One of mankind's greatest utterances, ably interpreted. I'm proud to be human. The very gods themselves are envious.
Every note is essential. Every note is articulated perfectly congratulations Jonathan.
Triumphant
Beautiful I died and went to heaven
ikr?
Just think of the thousands of hours spent in designing, building, installing, tuning and regulating this "King of Instruments". This performance makes it all worthwhile.
Cancel culture have no respect for Work, Art, and Life... psychiatric peoples.
@@patriciaoudart1508 I agree but what does this have to do with cancel culture?
Perhaps the greatest organist and arranger since Fox. He has all the spirit, fire, and red blood of Virgil, and the youth to be creating for a long time. Thank you to the Scott brothers for sharing this with the world.
Virgil Scott? I thought he was the pilot of Thunderbird 2.
What a sublime rendition from both the inspired soloist and wonderfully rich organ sound truly inspiring ---
My goodness: what a stumble-upon! Brilliant playing of a masterpiece on a brilliant instrument. Thank you 😊
The organist makes the organ sound great. Each and every note is registered and delivered with extreme precision. A genius. The composer would definitely approve of this. 👍👍👍👍👍
It doesn't get much better than this !
I have always loved listening to Saint-Saens Organ Symphony but I always felt that the orchestra was heard far more than needed and that the organ played in it's shadow. Now at last the King of Instruments takes it's rightful place in the spotlight. What an amazing rendition of this work and it's performance... truly quite exceptional! Thank you Jonathan Scott so very much indeed!
You should try a few different versions, there’s nothing quite like organ and orchestra together when the balance is just right !
( I have quite a few recordings of it )
Second that,Bravo.
@@robertireson1564 can you recommend any one in particular? Because I tend to agree with the original comment.
@@28102650 One of My favourites is on a Sony Masterworks set 481406 2. Unfortunately I can’t locate information about the Orchestra, Organ or Organist ( I’ve lost the book that came with it )
@@28102650 Another good version is ONDINE ODE1094-5 with the Philadelphia Orchestra and Olivier Latry on the Organ.
I’ll check My collection & let You know of any other versions
Great! Thanks for a thrilling performance.
Old SS was really in the groove when he composed this piece plus it's a beautiful arrangement and performance. The images of the church windows adds significantly to my enjoy9. Thank you.
I just wish I could have been there to feel the roar and rumble of the organ!
Simply magical, I love this!
I'm always in awe of organists. Not only do they have multiple manuals but also pedals and stops. Their coordination is incredible. A brilliant rendition of one of my favourite pieces. Well done Mr Scott!
Clearly one of the best for organ performances!
From Japan.....
I love organ.Thanks dynamic sound and beautiful pictures!!
躍動感溢れるオルガンの響き、素敵な演奏と美しい映像を有り難う！！
What a talent! J'ai joué du piano, déjà avec 2 mains c'était pas facile mais alors avec plusieurs claviers, les pieds et les mains... MAGNIFIQUE!
Over 50 times listening to you play this never gets old ❤🎹🎹🎹🎹🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶
Total fullfilment. Congratulations to master Scott - magnificent work and organ playing - I love it!
Greetings from Canada! THANK YOU Jonathan and Tom! Totally wonderful playing, transcription, registration, as always, attributed to Jonathan's amazing organ knowledge and skill!
I have lost count on how many time I have viewed this video. It never gets old. LOVE it!
The organ. An orchestra in one instrument. Brilliant music.
Thank you and God Bless you Jonathon Scott!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS. IS. PHENOMENAL.
Incredible! Playing the orchestra part and the organ part at the same time. Most astounding music I've ever heard. I love this piece anyway, now I love it even more.
Magical Organ leading us to our youth fascination in Church, part of the mystical and spiritual Elevation !
Third time is a charm. Back to hear this stunning performance again and it will not be the last, I assure you. Outstanding a joy for all fans of Jonathan Scott.
I think this is one if not "the" most beautiful versions of Saint-Saens "Organ" Symphony Finale out there. Truly inspiring. Thank you !
Jonathan, Jonathan, comment peux-tu faire cela?
Tu es le plus grand organiste du monde de tous les temps!
Anything less than a large pipe organ for this piece just doesn't cut the mustard. Love this.
Fantastic, today in our 1000 years old church in Iserlohn/Germany at the new Grenzmg organ - live with Jonathan Scott!
Just brilliant.....never heard this piece without an orchestra before......stunning.
you don't even miss the orchestra. this is fantastic
That's one of the most incredible things I've ever seen.
How superb. Thank you, Jonathan. You really are a master of the arranger's art. Extraordinary.
I am truly astonished at the dexterity required to play this symphony - completely breathtaking. The camera work is also quite brilliant, providing the viewer with close up shots of the intense work involved by the organ player. Thank you for posting :)
I'm overwhelmed by the beauty of your response. It's so sensitive and bold, you're a paragon of sensitivity.. I truly believe Jesus is using this recital to single you out for martyrdom
No words to describe how powerful and brilliant an artist. Divine .
Sublime performance.he makes it look so easy an we know it is not.. the instrument is magnificent.
Brilliant arrangement and performance! I am speechless.
Comme la première lumière de l'aube, cette musique ouvre les yeux à de nouvelles promesses et à toutes les merveilles de la nature. Evocatrices de pouvoirs au-delà de l'observation, cette pièce tire les ficelles du cœur, attire les nostalgies et réveille les amours, les vies écorchés et la torpeur des veilleurs endormis🌺🕊️
Took the words right out of my mouth! Couldnt agree more.
@@mudgebauer 🤠
Just WOW. One of my favorite works. Absolutely stunning to watch
Back again to listen to this truly exceptional performance. The talent on display is truly formidable I never tire of the very best.
Amazing, and all from memory! No score… incredible!
Just unbelievable.
What can I add?
Wow, wow, wow...
I always thought the organ played to small a part in the Symphony #3,and this proves it! BRAVO,Jonathan!
Wonderful, awesome, this arrangement can stand alone, thankyou.
I think Saint Saens would heartily approve of this beautiful arrangement of his masterpiece.
@@MrMachmaninov Maybe, maybe not, when we know the legendary bad temper of Saint-Saëns... lol. But I find this transcription very good, faithful to the original.

Why is that? If your gonna say that, at least tell us why.
@@TheJakeman789 The arrangement is very true to the original composition. It captures the many colors of the orchestra and the power and majesty of the final movement. Also, he was an admirer of Franz Liszt and was certainly influenced by his work. Liszt frequently transcribed his own compositions for various instruments and orchestral ensembles. That being said, as with any speculation about what anyone no longer living would approve or disapprove of, I could be totally wrong.
A Mater piece performance!!! One of my favorite organ pieces!!!🙏🏻🌹❤
This is such a fabulous arrangement I keep coming back to it whenever I want to show someone true virtuosity. It's magnificent beyond words.

Who needs an orchestra when this piece is played so magnificently on the organ alone! Bravo!
Fabulous performance no matter when!
Viktoria said it. Never heard it like this before,and such brilliance!!!!
Thanks so much for posting:)
When the lockdown and the curse of coronavirus is banished for ever they should blast this from the rooftops fabulous piece!!! Followed by god save the queen!!
@@tampanativeson Just pretend they're playing "My Country 'Tis of Thee"
I am not British, but I want to hear it too!!!
Well, as this is probably the most famous French symphony ever written and Queen Elizabeth II of the House of Sachsen-Coburg Cotha is quite rightly the German Monarch of the United Kingdom, I guess it would be most fitting for European Unity and the final death nail to hard Brexit English Fascism. Britain is obviously irrevocably part of Europe.
@@daviddaly9232 Camille Saint-Saëns also wasn't British. He would like to hear his own symphony too.
@@tampanativeson Who says White Americans are automatically of English heritage?
Statistically speaking, most are German-Americans... I'd not call "Schwartz" an English surname, would you?
Wonderful.a magnificent piece magnificently played.
Oh my word..! That is the first time I've ever heard this piece with no orchestra. That guy was busier than a one legged riverdancer. Fantastic performance.
You took the words right outa my mouth! I think i like it better without the orchestra! :O
Fantastic comment!
"busier than a one legged riverdancer" LOL
analogy too funny!
absolutely fabulous version, congrats
Bravo ! Completely superb---organ and organist. A very moving experience. Thank you.
Thanks to ClassicFM in London for introducing me to this incredible piece of music. That said, this is by far the best version. Extraordinary. Bravo Jonathan Scott! Bravo!
Whom are the 239 "thumbs down" idiots trying to impress? It has can only be envy. Jonathan Scott's talent is unquestionably over the top and what an honor it would be to someday meet him and his brother in person. Their giftedness provides so much pleasure to so many. I'm ever so moved and appreciative. Thank you, thank you!
Hear, hear!
I gave it a thumbs down and had sex seven times within the next 24 hours with a variety of strange women. I recommend that you try giving one of these scottbrothersduo videos a thumbs down and see how it works for you.
They know not...
ahh to see the dislikes again.
They are probably Shtrayans looking for ""Tha' Footee" and their regular dose of moronic right-wing garbage. 😆
Music to lift the spirits. Magnificent!
Wow..magnificent arrangement and performance on a truly wonderful instrument! Thank you very much Mr Scott.
OMG! There aren't too many people who could even attempt this, let alone pull it off! Makes my hair stand up.
You've just gotta love Jonathan Scott's arrangements, he's such an inspiration to both musicians and listener's. Keep arranging/playing these fantastic works of classic classics!
Magic!
Wow! Beautiful and absolutely magnificent - was I the only person wiping away their eyes by the end of this! And who said a man can't do two things at the same time? ..... Hands, feet and boompsadaisy! Sheer poetry in motion. Thank you both Mr Scotts!
It's as if I just heard the "finale" for the first time. Finally the KING of instruments RULES!
Oh my days... that was suberb, and all from my local parish church from whence I was wed. We crossed the organist's palm with silver to play Widor's Toccata as we walked back up the aisle. Even with the best cans, it doesn't really do this organ justice. You have to be in the building to experience not just the aural but the physical experience of a recital. The way the lower pedal notes thud through your chest is quite literally breath taking.
I am involved in a complex project and wanted to tell my co-workers to start simply and end BIG. I thought of musical metaphors, the War of 1812 is obvious, better the Moldau (Ma Vlast No.2 Vltava)...a little brook begins in the mountains and passes past hunters, a village wedding, next the gorge, then the mighty Moldau River flowing thru Prague itself. The Saint-Saens Symphony No. 3 also occurred to me as a powerful metaphor. This transcription is an absolute musical masterpiece.. Listen to the orchestral rendition then replay this transcription to fully understand the enormity of the achievement.
Saint-Saens "Organ" Symphony is one of my favourite works of music. The organ part on its own is challenging enough. I have heard it played on two organs but never just on one. How about a piano-organ arrangement with brother Tom? Jonathan´s mastery of the organ is awesome. He didn't even have a score!!
In the English Organ, one thing that shines through is the quality of the work of 19th century organ builder T. C. Lewis. This is one of his rare surviving instruments, as well as at Cullercoats and St Paul's Cathedral, Melbourne. It is a tragedy that few of his organs survive in original condition.
Jonathan knocked this out of the park, This is the way organ should be played AWESOME!!!!!!!
I love the beginning of this masterpiece. My wife complained of how high I had volume.
Bravo! Absolutely the best rendition I have ever heard. Best organ and best organist. I only wish I could have been in that church to experience it in person. Thank you so very much!
And---those stained glass windows are gorgeous!!!!!!!!!
Great aren't they.... he polishes them just before he plays that Wurlitzer of his...every time!! .... the worst case of OCD the archbishop has ever seen
I have died and gone to heaven. This is the first time I have heard the Finale without the orchestra. And with Jonathan's Brilliant arrangement, and his tour de force playing, who needs the orchestra?
What a brilliant performance or a truly magnificent piece of music.
his momentum is breathtaking. He doesn't lose a nanosecond moving across keyboards. he is digital. as always phenom sound recording. hard to beat this level of talents.
Hearing this piece played well is ALWAYS breathtaking!
Magnifique ! Merci !
This gentleman is splendid as both an organist and as an arranger of music!!!!
This piece brings me to tears, and I have no idea why!
And he is playing from memory!! I see no music on the music desk! A masterpiece in the hands of a superlative master. We are so blessed!
beautiful song.. I was very lucky to have a organ at my church to have this played for my walk down the aisle.
Bravo! What an electrifying performance - takes your breath away. And what a beautiful church.
This has been my favorite piece since I first heard it as a young man in the early 70s. This rendition is the first transcription I have heard, and it rendered me speechless. Scott far surpasses any other organist I have heard on this piece. I am thrilled and will play this over and over. Thank you Jonathan Scott for this precious gift.
Magnifique ! Réécouté en l'honneur de la disparition de Camille Saint Saëns en décembre 1921. 👏👏
BRAVO!!!! JONATHAN SCOTT!!! MAGNIFICENT PERFORMANCE!!!! I think Saint-Saens is very proud of you!!! And thank you! ~H~
I’ve enjoyed listening to Jonathan’s performance of this more times than I can remember, but for some reason I’m just now appreciating the impressive the videography work. Outstanding!
The hairs on the back of my neck stood up along with all of these goosebumps for the entire length of this piece! I so love classical music that is capable of blowing off the roof.
Holy mackerel.... I have always said that this is the music that will be playing as one enters the gates of heaven ... what a colossal recording of it. I am dumbstruck. I had to listen a couple of times to be sure I hadn't hallucinated the whole thing. W.O.W.
Thank you, Mr. Scott, for this marvellous performance.
My poor France... THANK YOU FOR YOUR SENSE OF HONNOR, Brittish ! You are so talented !
This piece was my wife and my wedding music way back min October 1980. One of our daughters also had for her wedding entry music in 2015!
What a magnificent piece and thank you Jonathan for bringing back memories of two memorable and outstanding events in my life.
I never realized there was a score for organ without orchestra for this section. Amazing and well performed with excellent registration proving the organ is indeed the king of instruments.
Jonathan Scott produced this wonderful organ-only arrangement himself - and sells the score on his website. However, I suspect that only he has the ability to play it 😀! I saw and heard him give a transcription masterclass just yesterday, and he demonstrated clearly that his musicianship and facility with the instrument with music like this is quite unrivalled IMO (and I know, and have known, many great organists and also play the organ to a high level myself). He also played this wonderful arrangement in a concert later in the day! I think I'll buy the score now... 😃.
