This was an absolutely incredible performance by miss bish, who being the worshiper, and vessel of God that she is, completely immersed herself in the spirit of the composition!!! The combination of miss bish and this great instrument, was truly a meeting of the Titans!!!!!!!
Simply awe-inspiring. The organ, the composer and the organist. I wonder whether Handel ever imagined his Water Music sounding so grand.
Wow! The grandeur of that sound has such impact even through a TH-cam upload of an old video tape recording. I can only imagine what that sounds like in person... And what impact a grand church organ like this must have had on listeners in the old days, when there was no audio recording, or noise pollution, and this was one of your only exposures to music, or even to sound of this volume. It must have inspired feelings of divine communion.
Thiss is an absolutely magnificent performance that shines despite being an abysmal VCR recording (the format itself being to blame), then compressed to death by YT. It's almost like a good novel. But instead of pictures in your head, this creates the idea of amazing this must have sounded vor Ort.
Hahaha, compressed to death. OMG what would life sound like, haha. Thanks for the comment, Thailand Paul Amazed.
Diane obviously enjoys playing thus wonderful instrument, & in so doing, brings every note she plays into joy & harmony, as she progresses through her music piece., especially during this particular melody.
This gave me goosebumps. Very nice work. I can only imagine the effect in person or in quadraphonic sound, so the listener could distinguish which organ was playing. I think Bach would be proud.
This was played as the recessional at my wedding. When I was in college choir, one of our directors was also an organist and played this piece often at the end of our tour concerts. We affectionately called it "The Superman Song". (To be honest,none of us really knew the title but we all loved the energy!)😂
THANK YOU FOR POSTING
Ms.Bish still one of the finest organists in 2 centuries.....I miss hearing her on PBS on Sundays, I always enjoyed her commentary on the organs and locations.
I have had a chance to visit several of the churches in Germany she has played at.
As a longtime piano player I must admit that the organ is the best sounding instrument of all time
THE OLD
😊 Well! The organ is not called the king of instruments for nothing.
Ausgezeichnet! Grusse aus Minnesota USA
Dearest Diane... thank you!
Understanding and having a "feel" for the speed and attack (more staccato, and having the acoustics add to your symphony) is a gift few have received.
You were blessed with this gift in abundance! And ever so graceful. 🎶🇿🇦
Another song I discovered, I love. Just breathtaking! A reminder of why I love classical music so much. Thank you! ❤🎼🎹🙏
breathtaking performance
this lady is outstanding
Yes, this lady has to be among the best we have ever known in a field seemingly dominated by men, great though many of them are. Perhaps my favorite organ video of all time was a number of years ago when she & her film crew went to Scione (did I spell that right?) Switzerland to record the oldest playable pipe organ in the world. Don't know exactly how much of it is original, having, I'm sure, an extensive amount of work done to it since its 1390 origins & it's a relatively "simple" arrangement, having only a short single keyboard. After all in 1390 one didn't run down to the local hardware store to buy anything. Every single part from the largest pipe to the smallest piece of mechanical hardware had to be custom made, by hand, for its specific application. So, no point making the thing bigger or more complex than absolutely necessary. However the finished product is truly amazing & with whatever limitations it may have is one of the best sounding organs I have ever heard & is superbly showcased by Ms. Bish. Simply awesome!
The sound this organ produces is just incredible. I speak 5 languages, yet have no proper words to describe how I feel listening to this. Small? Lifted up? This triggers so many feelings on so many levels, I come back to this recording every other week. Thanks for uploading!
Beautiful
Großartig
I would love to play that organ. It sounds amazing 🤩
That has to be by far my most favorite piece she’s played on the pipe organ!!!!
I share your sentiment. She is one of the Old Legends, of the Pipes.
played beautifully perfect. my fave classical organ piece
Brilliant now I know what the organ at the pearly gates must sound like.
oh..I. .do...wish..............
La grandezza dell'Organo non ha confine per la Sua immensa musica, ringrazio di cuore coloro che esegono questa magnifica e sempre sublime musica.Grazie per l'infinito amore che toccano il cuore arrivando alle lacrime, non vi sono parole per isprimere.
Good stuff.
Absolutely amazing.
this is amazing!!she plays so easy and the most important,she is enjoying!!
How absolutely beautiful . Thankyou so much. Bravo. John (Australia)
Is it nice burning in Australia? :)
Superbe interprétation bravo ,
J adore
Majestuoso!
The first lady of the organ!
Simplesmente maravilhoso. Fenomenal. Pedro Ançã
She is a treasure, more than a national treasure, a treasure for all humanity.
one of the best organists i've ever heard. in awe
So totally incredible!!!
I honestly don't know who Diane Bish is. but a TV show only about Pipe Organs, and Church Bells sounds beautiful and welcoming.
Tout simplement magnifique
Lovely! I don't much like talking about technique, but Diane's double notes in each hand are so beautiful to watch, amazing in every way.
The organ loft looks like the crow's nest on a pirate ship. Talk about living on the edge!
View to Heaven, yes.
I hate Scott brothers fad channel. I love Diane Bish art channel.
This was our exit music for our wedding 44 years ago.
Congratulations.
VERY,VERY GOOD CHOICE@@caesarillion
Followed by playing some water music on your wife’s 🦪 for honeymoon 😂
Piękne wykonanie na najwyższym poziomie artystycznym klasa sama w sobie życzę samych sukcesów zawodowych a także w życiu osobistych the best
She got to try Organs all over the world. That was great watching her on PBS.
I watched her too, on PBS. That was some time ago!
Indeed. Her playing was seen in Republic of Korea, 25 years ago, the year of 1995.
Thanks soooo much for uploading the Frieburg tapes. I saw that organ in person. The quad effect is so impressive. With Dianne at the console, the experience is truly amazing. Timeless.
Bless you, Ms. Bish! Once again you have redefined the word "outstanding," and it's spelled "Diane Bish, Organist" -- and wonderful person, with intellect of scripture and organ and music and musicology/music history! Cheers to you! marc
Handel and Bach, 2 of the big dogs in organ music compositions that ever lived.
@EF I love Beethoven but they sure are the kings of classical music
They were born in the same year in Germany but they never met. Vivaldi was also a contemporary of theirs.
Two of the many great Lutheran composers of the era
I think she grabbed a chunk of Holy God out of Heaven and played it here. Thank you Diane Bish, Thailand Paul Venne and friend Kanchana Dara/Thai
Wonderful... Diane Bish is one of my preferred Organist...
Oh yes, and mine
She is definitely one of the worlds best organists
This does something to my soul!! Sends shivers down my spine..Never get tired of listening to this...Absolutely magnificent...What a fabulous organ and such a beautiful case too. Wow
David Hartmann this sure beats modern worship. Like not even close.
Yes!
Every time I hear this
I hear God’s royalty coming out of the heavens with Jesus, Mary and the Saints and other heavenly courtiers such as the army of God.
This is the way organ should be played...
Bloody superb. You can tell Bish loves Handel. Her face says it all!
When you see the face of Diane Bish appear as an icon, you know the big final chord is only seconds away!
Thank you Diane. I remember you from our home study group of Sherwood Oaks Christian Church.
No other instrument could resonate round a massive cathedral like the organ. Diane Bish is magnificent.
Beethoven: Handel was the greatest composer that ever lived.
I was in Westminster in May 2016. Of all the famous people in history entombed or remembered in that building only one had fresh flowers on his memorial. G. F. Handel.
In 2006, on my first trip to London, I went to Westminster Abbey and knelt in front of his grave, remembering Beethoven's phrase "I would kneel in front of his grave"
He also said Bach is Bach and God is God. He was comparing Bach to God.
that's half the quote
Really? I did not know that Ludwig was an admirer of Händel; I must admit that I fail to hear many (if any) similarities/inspirations in Beethoven's music coming from Händel... The Mozart and Hayden influences are much easier to discern.
This is one of the best sounding organs I’ve ever heard.
Collin MacQuarrie It's a crying shame that this video is pulled from a VHS, compete with abysmal audio quality.
It is indeed.
I bought E.Power Biggs album playing on the same organ- that’s what got me hooked!
@@lt1caprice57l Please tell me more. It resounds a heavenly riff to me but there could be more, God willing. Audio, acoustics and electronics are quite a topic.
I don't know how she can play with that rock on her right hand. LOL
Handel was and is the greatest composer of all time. pure genius.
In fact, he was buried in Westminster Abbey following his death.

If fills me with Awe how one instrument can glorify the King of the Universe. Thank you for inspiring younger generations with optimism.
Well said. Thank you, Thailand Ears.
I wish I was able to play it so I can glorify too. Oh well.
4 Organs!? That is a lot and at the same time? Crazy!
I literally listen to this at least once a week; truly a master at her work.
Fabulous performance. I love the fact that her attire perfectly matches the whole setting💖
I agree.
Great performance!
😀😸😸
Brillant and magnificient . This organs in the münster in freiburg are perfect & diane too👍👏😊
somewhere around three minutes you should realize that 114 people just don't get it.
woman is like four stories up playing four organs as perfectly as any newbie was concerned.
she has made exactly that many enemies in her life i guess.
I have had this piece stuck in my head for YEARS and couldn’t think of the name! Thank the algorithm gods!
Definitely magnificent!
And it lets me feel the majesty of God.
Beautiful. Simply beautiful. Bravo. Thankyou, John (Australia)
Diane bish how do you get to play these wonderful organs??
I'll be walking down the aisle to this piece in 12 days! Eek!
Magnicant performance. And amazing organ. I love this piece. I can only seem to find the piano version of the score for this piece. Anyone know where i can find organ version? The piano version seem to have alot of notes missing which is played here by the left hand. Would appreciate any link or URL address. Thanks
IMSLP - this was arranged by Carl Mc Kinley and I think his arrangements of Water Music by Handel for organ are available there... Good luck...
L'organo la bellezza del creato tra celo terra per la sua magnifica musica, tocca il cuore e la mente per chi l'ascolta immensamente.
Bravo! Bravo! Love how the ring on her left hands slips down and under her finger as she blazes away! Superb Dr. Diane Bish.
A fitting tribute to Dr Handel on one of the most magnificent instruments in existence
I recently sent this to a friend of mine who is neither into organs or classical music, but even he had to admit that the entire compostion (the way it is played, the notes, organ and sound) are just incredible! Good job Mrs Bish :)
The music and performance is gorgoeus, both for composer and interpreter. A little pity is why they don't show the beautifull view of this gothic cathedral from the outside. It's just marvellous and it's the ownly gothic church that has been completed witout interruptions. For instance the famous cathedral of colonge has been eventually finished in 19th century.
+menkulinan aldebaran I have other videos of this cathedral that feature some exterior shots like this one: th-cam.com/video/D5j8jUa_M8I/w-d-xo.html
bishfan
yup - the Mouret Rondeau (Bish) has outside shots.
Could you imagine just being on a normal tour of the Cathedral on the day she played this - all the sudden that SOUND. I'd feel like I died and gone to heaven.
That sound would penetrate you and carry you along with it for sure; a sense of glory and being massaged to the marrow of your bones. Just awesome....
Hornpipe was an English sailor's dance which was danced aboard ship to the accompaniment of a flute -it was Handel and his patron's tribute to their English adopted country and the English audiences understood the compliment and absolutely loved the piece.
You will live long Diane... each time I listen to your music I can’t explain how I feel... You’re a gem!
Not just a national treasure, but a global one. So under appreciated. Her adeptness and great skill is the wonder of my life. I cannot imagine how anyone can aspire to such hights. Her skill is forever unmatched. I simply adore her.
Another spectacular performance by Diane Bish on one of the greatest organs in the world. Thank you for sharing this with us Ms. Bish!
I walked down the aisle to this lovely piece from G.F. Handel,when I got married to my late husband on 12-20-80 at Grace Memorial Chapel on the grounds of Whicta State University. So listening to her play Theme From Water Music brings back sweet and happy memories for me. Thanks for sharing the video.
Christine Klinger she is from Wichita and used to be organist at East Heights Methodist
it's the "allegro maestoso", not the "theme".
i listened to alla hornpipe over 500 times this past month aaaaaa
Ich habe den Eindruck, die Orgel klang damals viel frischer und schöner als heute nach zig Umbauten...
This is so beautiful Ive got tears. Thank you 🙏. My mom played and is in such bad health that she does not anymore. Tears in my eyes. Bravo!
Heaven bound.......
All those stop tabs appear to be the same color and the distant shot of you at a console showed you at a console which was not on the main floor. What gives?
To have a 6- or an 8-channel surround recording of this piece on this amazing organ would be ultra!
I wonder if Mrs. Bish would be interested in re-recording it as a DVD or Blu-Ray disc...?
There was such a recording.
Late 60’s, early 70’s, E. Power Biggs released an album of Bach organ works. The album was recorded quadraphonic, with each organ in a different speaker.
This is overwhelming amazing!!! Bish is amazing and the sound of the organ is the best ever
Nobody can play the organ like Diane Bish. I.hope she gets to see these comments and how much people across the entire world appreciate her immense talent and her huge lifelong commitment. Shaun Caton.
I wish nobody played the organ like Bish, heavy handed, often rushed, her flashy performances are all show and no emotion.

@@bobroberts6155 It's a mood thing. I'm looking at the details as a musician and partner in the faith. Different strokes for different folks. Only Jesus Christ is all and ever perfect. Perhaps sometimes we can touch Him.......but only for His Glory. Thailand Ears
I will never get bored of this composition. During college I would sit down in the computer lab to work on assignments and just feel brain fried from studying. This song would jump start my creative thinking.
MichaelandMariah Murray piece
then, you must know this is not the "hornpipe" but the "allegro maestoso", eh? why do so many trained musicians "stand by" this obvious mistake?
Absolutely Grand. So Powerful...
I can listen to Diane Bish playing the pipe organ 24/7, she's amazing.
Magnificent!
Behold! Paradise.
MAGNIFICENT!!
Very beautiful. Is this what inspired Zaireeka?
I literally don't know who "Diane Bish" or what this show is I swear I though I saw it once while zapping through channels but man this is such an joyful and musical recommendation. I thought this show was on TBN, or one of those Christian channels lol. ♥ 🎶
This is so majestic and wonderful every time it’s played! Thank you, Diane!!!
This is beyond magnificent ....
I am trying to get my head round "plays the famous 4 organs simultaneously". Are there 4 in the cathedral and are they somehow linked so that she can control all 4 from the one set of manuals? Or is this a sloppy way of saying she plays one organ with four manuals? Magnificent sound either way.
What a marvellous acoustic reverberation in surround !
BAISIN Christophe absolutely
Still listening to this regularly :)
She is in A material of the organ..she is THE master of the organ
I'm a big fan of her too lol
From Brainy Baby: Right Brain & Baby Einstein: Baby Neptune
heavenly just heavenly music.
My recording of this is from 1973 by the Royal Philharmonic & considerably faster. Then I noticed how fast Diane's hands are at work - the recording is probably sped up. Her's is at a march tempo.
With this I have one problem: none of my devices can play it LOUD enough!!
