FINALLY....someone who can play this MAJESTIC piece at the proper tempo... so we can hear all of the complexities, including the choral structuring throughout!!
BRAVA !!
Vielen Dank, JägerTiger, thank you very much. Much appreciated! 😁
Those pipe organ die-hard aficionados who refuse to accept the digital organ should listen to this masterful performance. Congratulations to Duchess for a sublimely controlled rendering and to Hauptwerk for the sampling technology that makes such perfect reproduction possible.
Absolutely beautiful, and played with love! Imagine how Mr. Jaeger (“Nimrod”) must have felt, when he heard for the first time what Elgar had written for his friend.
Also, the diminuendo was done perfectly, surely not an easy task!
Duchess Aida is a true Master of expression!
Thank you very much, Alan. I'm honored.
Really enjoyed following the actual music. The tension of the various chords as they are played and "milked" for all they are worth, is what makes this majestic piece SO POWERFUL.
Thank you for a soul-satisfying performance of a work so near to my heart. God bless.
Lovely interpretation, majestic pacing and breadth. This work never fails to stop me in my tracks, remove my hat and put my hand across my heart, bow my head and pray for those who truly gave all they had for this world and us. I know I will see them in the Resurrection.
Gorgeous and so nice to follow the printed music.
The most perfect organ version of Nimrod. The tempo is just magnificent, often organists tents to rush this piece and it's like to put it to death. This is just perfect. Also the choice of stops is very accurate. Many, many compliments!
Vielen herzlichen Dank, Herr Harmoniumbauer. Glad you liked it. Thanks!
Liebe Grüße aus dem Harz, Aida
I agree a stunning performance! Perfect tempo
This makes me want to cry oooh!
you are so good. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing your listening experience, Tayo. Glad you enjoyed it.
A sublime performance, thank you. Lovely to see the 'workings' as well.
Thank you very much, Chris, and you're welcome. Glad you like it!
It's Very good.... "swimming " Music, because the organist spreads of Tempo--Rhithm...Bravo!
Thank you very much!
Once again you show us that you are a true master of interpretation and emotion. I'm wiping tears away as I type this.
Thank you very much, Thom! Don't tell anyone: I get goose bumps everywhere and the odd tear in my eyes myself, every time I listen to my own recordings. I must be such a narcissist. Ssht, our secret. ;-)
wow! just incredible!
Thank you very much.
Thank you so much Duchess. Nimrod was played at my Mum's funeral 2 years ago and your rendition was beautiful and bought a lot of emotion back to me.
Sorry to hear about your mom, Simon, but good to hear like my rendition.
Thanks for sharing.
Lovely playing and very nice instrument
Wow...beautiful arrangement! skillfully registered, the final crescendo and diminuendo really sent shivers...as if it was the final dying breath of that organ
Thanks, Karl, glad you liked it.
@@aidavdbrake can i make a request......the pilgrims chorus from Tannhauser ....i bet that would sound amazing on that sample set. brilliant crescendo and the opportunity to use quiet reed in the middle and a glorious strong solo at the end. I used to have a CD from westminster abbey that had a arrangment of it
@@KarlSheen Ha ha, any more wishes for that piece? You're saving me all the creative work. Almost, that is. It's one of my favorites, though. Always wanted to record it, but I'm currently waiting for my new 4-man console. The old 3-man stopped working. I'll keep it in mind, promise. Cheers, Aida.
@@aidavdbrake im frustrated as i have 2 61 note keyboards and a hammer action 88key, but i cant afford pedals....for some stupid reason a set second hand basic pedals cost more than all my keys were new???....another good horn/trumpet solo...your namesake, the grand march from Aida. I had the opportunity to play that on Gloucester organ, I was the timpanist for a concert and coaxed the organist to let me loose.....not a good idea as being a timpanist I love bass!! ...32' contra trombone...yum!
@@KarlSheen Yeah, I know, pedals are expensive. Cheapest option might be buying an old pedal and midify it yourself. Good luck!
That was absolutely beautiful to listen to . I've listened to a few and I'm not knocking the other organists but this for me is my favourite. I am new to Hauptwerk and have been deciding on a sampleset and this sound fantastic . This is one of my favourite pieces of all ❤ you've made my mind up for me at last and I'll go with this
Thank you very much, Jacqueline.
I wish you many years of pleasure playing this great set!
Answering Matt S.' question:
For this recording I used a 3-manual Hoffrichter MIDI block with a 30-note Hoffrichter MIDI pedal on a Roland keyboard stand with 3 Crumar Long Throw expression pedals (I use 4 now) going into the 4 buses of a Yamaha MFC-10 foot controller (using that for combination changes as well, NOT using its expression pedal though), feeding all MIDI signals into an old MOTU MIDI Express XT MIDI interface and then into an RME Fireface audio interface.
Thank you very much. I have been looking to get some expressions shoes, but I don't know where to go. This was very helpful.
Believe me, I've tried most of them. These are the best by far for organ music under US$100!
I ordered a 4-man. custom touring organ from Hoffrichter. I've bought 5 church organ swell shoes by Klann, made mostly out of metal, for over US$200 each to be built into that organ. Organ MIDI Works sell South-Korean imitations of these, using more plastic parts. I don't think Klann's and Organ MIDI Works' swell shoes are plug and play midified like the Crumars.
Pin this please. It'd be a shame for gearheads to have to search for it in the future if it gets drowned in the comments section.
I've been looking for a fifth Crumar Long Throw, but the original ones, the ones with the cables permanently attached to the front, seem to have been discontinued: V2, with a 6.3" connector on the side of the bottom plate, and V3, with side switches sticking out on top, have taken over. Both useless for the job.
My heart swelled.
:-)
Can't get enough of your Nimrod performance, Aida. Especially after I watched your manual(!) registration of the piece, which I always thought was done using combos, this one tells me how much I did not yet explore the full capabilities of the Armley Schulze organ. Plus, it tells me that I should finally take the time to purchase and get those swell shoes installed! :-D
Glad you like it, Woody. To do what I've done in this upload you'll also need a General Crescendo pedal. Good luck!
@@aidavdbrake Thanks, Aida! :-)
The most tricky part will involve some upside-down jigsaw handling and choosing the right dimensions for the notch of the pedals... ^.^
(Planned to use 2 shoes for II + III swells and a third one as a GC pedal.)
Jak
I love it, and note with interest that your video is exactly twice as long as my attempt! Maybe I was in a rush....!
Thanks, Tim. Glad you liked it.
Beautiful!!
Thanks! :-)
Beautiful and perfect.
Thanks, Andrew, glad you liked it.
This is the most beautiful performance of this piece I have ever heard. Thank you for your wonderful talents. If I may ask a question, is the diminuendo at the end accomplished by taking off stops with the crescendo pedal? If so, can you program the crescendo pedal stops in Hauptwerk?
Thank you very much. Much appreciated.
And yes, I did use my own GC-settings. Hauptwerk V's GenCresc has 4 x 31 programmable stages.
Velvety melody！Comfortable！
beautifully played, an inspirational interpretation! just wondering where i can get the sheet music for this? can’t seem to find it anywhere. many thanks!
Thank you very much!

This was so beautiful! Thank you so much. I was wondering, what do you use for swell shoes?
Thank you for your appreciation, Matt. Glad you liked it.
I answered your question above (or below), so other people van read it too.
Splendid sound! Could you give me a link of the sample set?
Very good performance. I really like your stop combinations. Do you know where can I find the scores, it is an easy arrangement.
Thanks, Péter. I'm using the W. H. Harris transcription here, but I modified it. It's very similar to the Pierre Gouin transcription that you can download from IMSLP.org.
Where can I buy this organ arragement sheet music?
I would like to get this sheet music arrangement, would you please? Thanks
The point is that I enter the link in the description but it does not appear😢
I checked and the link still works.
Just click the link, then under 'Sheetmusic' click 'Arrangements and Transcriptions', then find 'For Organ'.
It's still there.
I don't know how hauptwerk works.
Who did require you to know how it works?
