Спасибо, дорогой Ричард! Каждая встреча с вашим творчеством - большая радость для истинних ценителей органнной музыки! Самые добрые пожелания Вам и всем подписчикам вашего канала!!
This was my GCSE ensemble piece. The problem - I broke my foot two weeks before my performance so I couldn’t play the pedals. Love your performance here.
Beautifully played and recorded. (The funny out-takes at the end made me appreciate how hard it can be to do spoken introductions, especially when a second language is involved!)
Since 1970, this is the piece of music that I forever link with Walter Carlos's "Switched On Bach" from the late 1960s. The Moog Synthesiser with its multiplicity of interesting tones was a great novelty and remained so for quite some time. Cheers, Richard.
So good to include some off the cuff humour at the end. Your infectious smile perfectly demonstrates that so-called “classical” music performers and their audiences are not just dull boring people but in so many cases far from this false stereotype. 😊
Such a BEAUTIFUL musical instrument, & such a selection for our fave virtuoso organist to play for us! THANK YOU! AND thank you & your assistant for your laughter. Amazingly, I so personally need that today. Blessings to you both, for bringing such beauty into our world...
So good to include some off the cuff humour at the end. Your smile is infectious and perfectly represents the fallacy that so-called “classical” music is only performed and appreciated by dull boring people . Nothing could be further from the truth. 😊
When I was a child I was a chorister of our local parish church. This piece was especially beloved of the organist, the late Hubert Humphreys. He was apt to play it every Sunday as a kind of warm-up just before the congregation would start arriving, and then he would launch into whatever the day’s voluntary was. We would listen and sing the service, and then my sister and I would go home to the smells of sherry and roasting parsnips and potatoes. They were simpler times.
That was amazing. The organ is massive. I don’t play the organ (unfortunately) but to me the tune sounded like it was being sung. Please forgive my ignorance 😂😂😂.
Seeing that last week when you posted it, I looked his site over. Two questions: 1) do you know if he can export these instruments to the States? 2) can he add a gorgeous long reverb like you have on the BIS organ? My next house is essentially going to be built around a central great hall with stone walls and a 5-7 meter tall vaulted ceiling, much like a Chapel, with the intent of having an organ for myself to truly enjoy and periodically share with others or in private recitals with guest organists. So I’m planning…
A top-flight organist, but a somewhat fair-to-middling linguist. (Just kidding!) All humor aside, that was a lovely piece that fit quite well in your surroundings. Well done.
Good evening Richard. So did you manage to visit the Palace of Arts and to play the organ while you were in Hungary? We were able to play the Palace of Arts instrument in 2018 (courtesy of Czaba Huzsty). Registering an instrument of that size is impossible for an amateur like me on a short session, even if you have the virtualised instrument at home! We had visited the Ezstergom Basilica previously in 2014 but it was two days after the then organist Izstvan Baroti had died. Baroti was responsible for completing many of the plans of builder Mooser that were unfinished. The cathedral was in mourning so the organ could not be played. So presumably the organ you played was a Hauptwerk console with the PAB sample set? Kenneth Spencer
Hi Richard and thank you for this lovely piece, played very well. I assume this is a digital organ. Question: Are there multiple speakers around the sanctuary and nave area? Especially subwoofers and such for the lower pedal notes.
Yes it is. You can tell because the acoustics sound a bit off. Hauptwerk uses wet sampling, so you have the acoustics of the building it was sampled in, plus the acoustics the building it was played in, plus the acoustics in the building it was played in on the acoustics if the building it was sampled in.
What is wrong with your voice? Picked up something in Hungary? Get well quickly! Lovely rendition on an organ out of all proportion to the building - but I reckon it must be awesome to play!
My soul dies when I see this piece on the order of service at funerals, it's always played badly, often very badly. Not the case here, though. Perfect.
3:27 such a professional 🤦🏻♂️

Just delightful.....playing and organ 💗
Wow what an organ! Worth the trip to Hungary.
I love you Richard McVeigh! Every time I log on to watch it’s another amazing performance
Lovely sound. Kind of bell-like. That last part - LOL!
So good to include some off the cuff humour at the end. Your infectious smile perfectly demonstrates that so-called “classical” music performers and their audiences are not just dull boring people but in so many cases far from this false stereotype. 😊
Wonderful piece, beautifully played
One of my favourites! Interesting to see such a large organ in what appears to be a fairly small church.
Welcome to Middlesbrough and this Harrison organ. Says it all 😊
That was lovely!

Glorious!
That was so lovely and beautiful. Thank you!
Ehat georgeous organ! It's massive! You sould consider recording a future Sunday Virtual Church on this organ. I'm sure it ould sound lovely.
WOW. Magnificent. Incredible version, so cameral

If an organist plays the organ, does a linguist play the language?

Why is the organ so HUGE when the church is not that big?
Because it’s what the priest wanted 🤷🏻♂️
Is this a digital instrument?
@@matthewkane502Yes
Was it me or there a lot of distortion?
I mean, to be fair, Hungarian is a super mega complicated language (no, I don't speak it, I'm just a language nerd).
