It was so nice to listen to such a beautiful organ. I miss the wonderful musicals and the music of the magnificent musicians in the orchestras. Max Steiner was so great with his orchestral work in movies like “ Now Voyager “. ❤❤❤
I have been watching and re-watching this performance over the last 10 years. I am still in awe of the arrangement and the playing. I have the Paramount samples and love playing them but my efforts are well short of your excellent playing. Mike in Oz
I just watched this video - for probably the 20th time - and it just humbled me. Such a beautiful song, on a magnificent (MAGNIFICENT) instrument, by a wonderful performer. I had just now the awe of having heard it the first time....perfection.
Very observant!! It was his wonderful recording that first inspired me to put this arrangement together. It is by no means a copy of his, but he is certainly there at my shoulder giving me a nudge in the right direction.
Bravissimo, Iain!! Very latin. I can feel the tango dancers floating around your inspiration, and the sea breeze of the South just whispering through your window. Synaesthesia of colours and scents in this instrument under your hands. Please, more!
Absolutely Fantastic playing , I was a piano player for a few years and your videos have inspired me to switch over to Theatre organ with this set up I now have . (Not the 450 but the 332) . Many thanks for some great music Iain. Jackie
Thanks for your reply - Billy lived 1 mile from where I'm sitting here in Fort Myers FL. He was a special friend and I miss him since his death in 2004.
Yes I remember the 33E,shows my age ! I played one at Wirral Organ studios in the 80s. I think this is the way forward for home organs now, and maybe one day I will take up the gauntlet, many thanks Ian, keep on producing your excellent videos.
Finally, A founding master shows his skills on camera! I love to see this! Very nice! Would love to see other sample providers do what you have done with Paramount 450. Videos like this show that we all can have the potential of such a fine instrument. THank you, Lian!!!
Lain... this performance and arrangement are Fantastic! Bravo... You are the Maestro Importante on the Paramount 450. I've listened to this about 5 times.... and plan to listen more. I've also sent this link to every musician I know, including Stephen Vincent.. (he said he knows you). Please record more, more.... bb
Howard. It may well have been this one. I am only aware of two of these in the UK. David Williams has the other down south. I got mine from a chap near Sheffield about 20 years ago on a tip off from David Shepherd. It had spent a few years with Ron Curtis at Bolton before that. They are rather well built machines....and weigh an absolute ton!!
Hi Howard. It is a 33E console from the mid 60s with good quality old style wooden keyboards, moving SAMs etc but now retrofitted with a modern MIDI system from midiboutique.com . All the original circuits are still intact and the MIDI has been designed to run off the original keying voltage of the Rodgers
This tune has been around for ages, (I can remember it during the early days of World War ll,) but I have to say that this version on the organ you have just played, is the best I have heard yet, (George Wright notwithstanding, and NO disrespect,) but I think you did a fabulous job! You just got yourself another subscriber! thanks for entertaining us. Ed
Well done Ian. Another incredible performance. Can you quietly whisper to me what amplification and reverb units you use on the Rodgers so I might recreate it on my Conn 652 rebuild? 😉 Peter 👍👍
Fantastic sounds and well played but.............how on earth do you control all the stop changes? The Paramount site isn`t any too helpful with things like that.
Yes. The Rodgers console sends MIDI messages to my computer which is running Hauptwerk with the Paramount Organ Works P450 sample set. All the sounds you hear are generated by the computer software (and my fingers!)
@@imcg110 Thanks for the reply, like I said the playing is superb and the sounds likewise, I guess the midi sounds are better than the original ones on the organ.

❤❤❤❤ Bravo Ian. One of my favorite tangos.

You play with such " feeling", your God-given talent shows. Thanks for your years of study and practice. It shows.
That's enough to make George (God rest his soul) jealous. Outstanding performance on a magnificent sounding instrument.
Qquuu
@@tracywhite5689 ???? What?
Superbly Done! My hat is off to you!
Holy Cow! That just blew me out of my seat! Fantastic!
Expertly done. Cannot get enough. Thank you so very much!
Literally brought tears to my eyes.
Casi latino este maravilloso tango........ que no es de un autor de ese país sino centroeuropeo. Fantástico . España.

Absolutely superb ❤
Awesome performance!
Bravissimo, Iain!!

lovely arrangement, beautiful song, well played!

Gracias por esta magnífica versión de una pieza que me emociona desde muy joven , tango de un autor centroeuropeo....emocionante.saludos desde España.
Pedro Nuñez Gracias Pedro. Siempre es un placer tocar música así.
La versión es extraordinaria, enhorabuena, es difícil tener esa categoría . Un placer escuchar piezas así.
Outstanding !!
wonderfully performed!

Magnificent!!!!!! ♥️🎶
TOO COOL! That was awesome!
Such a mighty sound from such a small organ !
All you see here is the console. In this case there are no pipe ranks at all. This is a complete virtual instrument.

Buddy Burden - Many thanks ! And do listen to Stephen's work too, it is quite, quite wonderful !
Probably my 20th time for watching and listening to you play this piece,and you are so smooth and outstanding on the keys. Bravo
Splendid! Simply splendid!
Fab sound, arrangement and playing!!!
Fantastical - played this difficult Tango - best wishes from south Bavaria Konrad
Bravo!
Oooooh yeahhhhh... LUV it!!

Very nice version. Someone said : when you have lived enough, you will like tango.
Great! Love it.
marvelous!
Makes me want to do the tango! Thanks!!!
Very well played, sir!
Well done ! Absolutely great. I havn't heard that piece of music for decades; I think it was once play by Mantovani and his orchestra?
Very satisfying

Many thanks for your kind words !
Awsome
Well done. Did I hear some Billy Nalle style in there?
This is in finnish called Mustasukkkaisuutta by finnish tangosinger Olavi Virta. (born 1915 died 1972)
Brill!
Can I ask what the manufacturer of the console is? Thanks
It’s a Rodgers 33E built in the 1960s
1:00 What is that song? Is it indiana jones?
Well done Ian. Another incredible performance. Can you quietly whisper to me what amplification and reverb units you use on the Rodgers so I might recreate it on my Conn 652 rebuild? 😉 Peter 👍👍
Fantastic sounds and well played but.............how on earth do you control all the stop changes? The Paramount site isn`t any too helpful with things like that.
Just like any other theatre organ with preset Pistons.
Oh, thanks. I may yet have a bash at that then.
Great sound Ian Is that a Rogers Trio console,or have you a midi console set up?
A Trio has only one row of stop tabs, so the model 33E as shown must be a larger Rodgers.
It's midi, hooked up to hauptwerk, and the console is a Rodgers 33E
Are you saying the sounds are midi and not from the organ you appear to be playing?
Yes. The Rodgers console sends MIDI messages to my computer which is running Hauptwerk with the Paramount Organ Works P450 sample set. All the sounds you hear are generated by the computer software (and my fingers!)
@@imcg110 Thanks for the reply, like I said the playing is superb and the sounds likewise, I guess the midi sounds are better than the original ones on the organ.
@@Andy-lm2zp The 'organ' in this case is only a console. It has no sound of it's own at all. Nor does the console of a real physical organ.
Well! He finally broke into a tango rhythm.
well done our 1920's orchestra does this chart. :)
His software sounds so much better than a Allen .
I still prefer Don Leslie's home theatre organ, syrupy analog electronic Peterson Strings et al. ;)
You need the sheet music and a metronome!
rulesnut - I have both !
@rulesnut how about you play it better!
