- In hindsight, I made this recording under bitter-sweet circumstances. It turned out that shortly after I recorded Jonathan Hope at Gloucester Cathedral in 2021, the organ would catastrophically break meaning it would never be heard again in its then form.
Nicholson & Co are going to undertake a renovation and restoration of the organ, and I look forward to hearing a pipe organ in this wonderful acoustic once again.
Louis Vierne - Organ Symphony No.2, Op.20
00:00 | Allegro
08:08 | Choral
16:39 | Scherzo
21:35 | Cantabile
31:12 | Final
Performed by Jonathan Hope Assistant Director of Music at @gloucestercathedral3992.

Making money is not my primary objective. After expenses are taken into consideration, remaining revenue is invested back into BEAUTY IN SOUND. Audio and visual equipment is expensive, and I also pay a fair fee to all recitalists who appear on BIS. This is why I regularly ask YOU to help, and I’m sorry for having to do so. I hope that you can all see the tangible improvements being made to BIS along our shared journey.

The bittersweet circumstances of what happened after the recording make this seem like an obvious divine appointment. Thanks to all concerned who made this work of beauty available to the world. Glad to hear that restoration is planned but meanwhile this is outstanding.
This symphony has always been my favourite, the trill in the Allegro must be the greatest trill in music. The performance was very sensitive especially in the Cantabile. Thank you for recording this.
What's this gaiety and fun? This is what this music speaks: Fun! Well done! Magnificent!
So beautiful. I love pipe organs.
Wauw,....What a Beautifull Organ and Beautifull Acoustics 🙂........And ....Very well recorded to capture it all!! 😉
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💗 Another Wonderful Show!!!😊 Thank you for the Music!..👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
What a fabulous performance. I have loved the warm but edgy sound of this instrument ever since I heard Mendelssohn's 3rd Sonata played on it by Andrew Millington, which I seem to recall I recorded from Radio 3 many years ago. It sounds every bit as exciting as it did then! Definitely one of the most unique cathedral organ sounds in the country.
What a fabulous performance by Jonathan Hope of the Organ Symphony No. 2 by Louis Vierne. A magnificent sound in a wonderfully reverberant building with a warm acoustic matching the mellow stonework. I understand this instrument was subject to a great deal of controversy in its day, being either loved or hated! When you hear Vierne's music being played on it like this . . . I can only say that I think it sounds vibrant and exciting and full of presence - so I love it! As you remark, Richard, it will be interesting to see what happens when Nicholson & Co complete the renovation/restoration. Let's hope Gloucester Cathedral will once again be blessed with an organ worthy of the title: The King of Instruments!
This is honestly a career highlight for me - recording that organ! I childhood dream of mine was to just play the organ, let alone recording it! ❤️
@@beautyinsound Lord Richard, Thanx for recording Jonathan Hope interpreting Vierne No. 2
Off Topic: Just heard the Durufle Requiem at St. Eustache with Trinity College Choir under Stephen Layton's guidance.
That is the ultimate interpretation for the 21st Century - I firmly believe that it will never be beaten in this century. Just absolutely gob-stoppingly stunning!
Thank you Richard for this very inspiring video!
This is something very special indeed. What a performance! As much as I love the first and final movements, I have to say that the latter part of the second movement (where it really takes off) is my favourite part. That and the Cantabile (which is hauntingly beautiful).
I should also comment on the great sound quality, Richard. You're really becoming a master of your multimedia art!
Thank you very much!
Thank you for releasing this recording of a favourite organ. I referenced this instrument when talking to our congregation about the length of time ours is out of operation, a few months rather than years.
Such an amazing performance, and recording. Thank you Richard for allowing the whole world to experience these very special musical moments in amazing fidelity. I trully love the whole set of recordings you made at Gloucester. It will be interesting to hear what comes next!
It’ll be very interesting to see what comes next. I’m hopeful Nicholson will do a good job.
@Richard McVeigh - forgive me for being uninformed, but I’m not familiar with the Nicholson firm. Any time I hear of restorative work on any UK Cathedral organ it always seems to be Harrison and Harrison. They’ve even done cathedral organs in Australia. Any clues why Gloucester went a different route? What can you share about Nicholson since I’m out of the loop across the pond.
That truly is magnificent! But how did it break? In what manner that rendered it beyond repair?
Wonderful.
Great performance! Really enjoyed listening to this. I'd say the Cantabile was my favorite movement.
For those interested, the organ builders Nicholsons have removed all the pipework from this instrument and the pipes have been melted down. The exception are the case pipes which date from the 17th century. So the Gloucester Cathedral organ shown here no longer exists. As such this demonstration is a useful historical record of the instrument before its destruction. The brand new organ is due to be completed in 2026.
Thanks.
With a little bit of phantom of the opera thrown in for good measure!
Jonathan Hope has played multiple improvisations to the original Phantom film
Richard- You should make a BIS CD dedicated to this astonishing instrument, a combination of this wonderful Vierne together with the pieces that you recorded. It would be a fitting tribute.
I already have. It’s on the BIS Shop 👍🏻
Thank you!! I hadnt found the BIS shop........ :)@@beautyinsound
Sweet music from this sweet instrument! A better fate awaits this magnificent organ than that of Cavaille-Col/Mutin op 899 down in Lujan, Argentina, wasting away as a source of souvenirs, I'm told.
Geoffrey Griffith in Philadelphia usa formerly of all saints Anglican church choirs in Barbados 🇧🇧 in the 1960 ties i am very delighted to listen to this glorious organ masterful recital by this great and gifted organist mr Richard McVeigh he is blessed with a gift from God amen.
Johnathan Hope.
Richard, can you play the allegro of Elgar's Organ Sonata Op 28? Thanks a lot in advance
It’s appearing on BIS VEEERY soon!! 😉
I hope not a final performance on this instrument! It shall be restored. Great pipe organs must never be lost.
BTW any clue of Casavant Frères Op 3606?
John Buzard Organ Co. are renovating and adding to the Casavant Organ at St. George's.
@@StoreeDenson Sorry but I disagree. The original organ is gone, Buzard is doing a total replacement. What bothers me is the lack of transparency about the Casavant. Thanks for responding though.
A terrific recording! The acoustics does half of the job (well, the organ and organist do sound great too of course). Very curious what caused 'breaking' the organ? That's a sad business.
It was something to do with the electrics which were un-reversible, apparently. The entire organ has since been taken out, and the console which you see in this video no longer exists. Fingers crossed for a fine replacement! Infact, the organ of Llandaff Cathedral is by the same company doing the Gloucester work, and I expect it’ll be quite similar.
@@beautyinsound Hmm, I'm unconvinced that anything broken to do with electrics is unreversible. Parts can be rebuilt, wiring re-made etc. Unless the entire thing caught fire and there is no documentation for it.
This is a lovely performance! But I think you need to buy him a new pair of organ shoes. 🙂
How about a pair of these 👠?
@@beautyinsound 🤣
What happened to the organ that would take such a drastic rebuild?
I don’t know anything more than the electrics catastrophically failed.
Ok. I’ll try and see if there’s any other information out there. I’m very curious how that would cause a rebuild aside from starting a fire.
@@Michael_VG Hello, it's a complete replacement not even a rebuild. All the pipework has been melted down except the case pipes. Brand new organ by 2026.
@@reggiebosanquet1525 Have they have even melted the Trompette Harmonique?
Amazing sound.... let's hope the rebuild instrument sounds at least as good - maybe better? Better, I hope, than Jonathan's right shoe looks 🤣🤣
🤣
I hope on new shoes for you
👠?
