I am from Indonesia. Of course we don't have church organ like this, very beautiful music, so peaceful. Just imagine one day I will stand in glory b4 the throne of Jesus and there i will serve Him forever
🙏
Amen to that!
Your post brought me to tears, didn't have far to go while listening to this glorious piece. It is a most stately and lovely work. I returned to listen again from months ago.
I hope that your desire will be fulfilled.
Amen 🙏🏼
This was played at my fathers funeral 😢 he was just 31 years old when he died of cancer ❤
Ja
Trivia item: on Christmas Eve, 1906, this became the first music ever broadcast on radio. There weren't many with equipment to hear it, but it was picked up by radio operators on ships at sea, who had expected to hear only Morse Code.
Not a trivia item at all
Calming on the wave of a storm.
Thank you for that bit of knowledge ✌️
If you refer to 1906 year there a was no radio broadcast at that time. It only became possible to transmit voice and music through radio waves from 1923 and further when radio valves appear on the technologie.
December 24 th 1906 also oh Holy night played on violin by Fessend
This is the kind of beautiful music we need in this very turbulent world.
You are so very right about that.

Perfect!!!@
It'very
My wife walked down the aisle to this piece. I could not help myself but cry.
They played that at my fathers funeral, and the only time I cried. It was 19 years ago december 8. Still makes my eyes wet when I hear this.❤
This piece always, without fail, brings tears to my eyes. It is almost sacred and very, very beautiful. I'm just a softy 80 year old!
I may be 5 tears younger than you .... but I am also a 'softy' when it comes to hearing this piece.
2 yrs younger and it has always been special. (It was the first (vinyl) record I bought when I was about 12.)
I'm just now wiping the tears away after listening to Pachelbel's Serenade. I'm 61
I am an softy 73 year old.
softly 18 years old
The sun has come over the mountain and the wildflowers gently sway as a butterfly or small bird pass by. I have returned from a walk and placed sunflower seeds for the little critters. I have a mug of coffee, and this wonderful composition is being played by Jonathan Scott. Likewise, I to am a classically trained pipe organist and I feel that this instrument has truly become and extension of Mr. Scott. Wonderfully done, and thank you for this joy on an early Sunday morning in the USA.
Beautiful. I walked into the Church on my Wedding day to this music and at the time of choosing it I didn’t know it was my father’s favourite piece of music.
Helped carry a dear friends casket, while this masterpiece was being played. Rest in Peace John. I miss you my friend.
This piece always forms a lump in my throat. Jonathan Scott plays it so beautifully. I am almost 78 years old and a softy too.
I'm 72 and started listening to this regularly at age 13. Such deep beautiful music.
I am 69 and I always get wet eyes while playing that excellent peace of music. So I would say I also belong to the „softies“ and I don‘t have a problem with that!
This was the first piece of classical music I ever heard when I was 14 years of age and I have been hooked ever since. I am now 81 and a half!
So am I, 73. Ethereal music for body, mind and soul.
First heard it played by uncle Raymond Gbeho when I was 7 years old. Though it was repetitive and meaningless to me at that time it made a subconscious impression which came to light when I turned 30!
Listening to this right now helped me feel better on a night I should have been depressed. Thank you Jonathan Scott! You're indeed a blessing
Thank you Scott brothers, for providing not only great performances, but also the architectural photography of these wondrous spaces. The combined visual and aural experience is profoundly transcendent.
This takes me back to my childhood. I used to play this in our church on an ordinary plain organ but to me it was a sacred privilege and a beautiful piece of music. Thank you for taking me back to happy memories!
Simply fantastic.

Always Glories to hear this satisfies my whole life and being so so powerful amen
49 years ago right now I was planning my wedding and my sister suggested this piece for my processional. I checked it out and am so happy we chose it. It's so beautiful, and now every time I hear it I have the added pleasure of remembering my walk down the aisle.
An old piece that stood the test of time. So beautiful and beautifully played. Music is a universal language. Much appreciated. Theo from South Africa.
This is largo. Broad, graceful and sumptuous. Thank you for sharing one of Handel's most beautiful works.
I love your word :"sumptuous"
Knowing Handel was a firm believer in God and a Christian this just turns my mind to heaven and the glories that await the Christian as he finally gazes in to the very face of Christ Himself. It is more than just a piece of music - it is the pure worship of the Triune God.
His name be praised.
Its a secular piece - an aria sung to a Plane tree by Xerxes to be exact. Nothing religious about it at all.
It is not "religious" in the Christian sense, but isn't there something sacred in Nature? In plants and animals? For pagans there is. I feel the same.
@@epincion Nontheless, the composer's music is doubtless inspired by his Christian faith. Nothing Handel did was without purpose, in-fact everything he wrote was written with the underlying purpose of the Glory of God.
We sang this in choir "Holy Art Thou". Absolutely hands down one of my favorite! I play this on my own organ and digital piano. Gives me such comfort!
@@garethifan1034 Totally agree. Ask people who don't believe you to look up the origin of "Handel Street ' in London. They always come up with an argument against God for some unknown reason. Handel , like Bach, is with Him now.
Non ci sono parole per il modo di cui questo Organista suona questo incantevole magnifico Organo.Accettate il Nostro umile Grazie dal profondo del nostro cuore.!
Coincido!❤
Già, veramente così
Magnificent organist with a great piece of work by Handel
In a thousand years this music will stil be played.
providing there is somebody left to play an organ or any instrument
i never get tired to listen to this beautiful song. still bring tears into my eyes. thank YOU LORD for this beautiful music
Whoever voiced this magnificent instrument was a master of his profession, and the man playing it is a pure master of his profession truly a well matched pair...
I agree. It's a sweet and precise sound!
Absolutely beautiful. When i was playing piano, i liked playing this. You have put your whole heart into this. Beautiful church and heartfelt playing. Thank you.
Me too, wonderful also on the piano.
What's the name of the piece?
@@DeManAmadeus5054 Read the title !
This Artist gave the piece the domination and majesty that Handel intended when He composed it,
On June 25 1985, my paternal grandfather's coffin was brought in to this. I was 6 weeks off my 15th birthday. I'm 51 next month, and still I cry when I hear it. So powerful, and so full of memories for me!
This piece was used at my maternal grandfather's funeral for the processional. I was not in attendance, however. I have been planning my funeral for decades. I have decided this will be the processional for myself to tie the generations together.
Just beautiful! Blessings, Paul Bult, Holland, Michigan.
The most beautiful interpretatio, I've heard.
Handel‘s music washes away the secular dirt, and promotes spiritual uplift and awakening
Handel is an Alchemist of the soul.
He turns all the sadness and suffering into emotion and comfort
It is bliss itself to fall asleep while listening to this magnificent performance he plays with incomparable skill in my comfortable bed .
This spectacular performance is my luxurious gorgeous and splendid lullaby

Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun🇯🇵
Handel was truly inspired. This was worth waking up at 2:30 in the morning and finding in my TH-cam feed😌
Awsome it is a song from heaven
I'm a "senior citizen organist" in a Presbyterian church in Kansas, USA. Yes, I realize that Handel's "Largo" is a secular piece. However, it's one of my favorite compositions. I play it for a Sunday morning prelude once or twice a year, and the church roof hasn't caved in yet. Sometimes I submit "Holy Art Thou" for the bulletin title, as there's a "Largo" anthem arrangement with that name.
The organist, Mr. (Dr.?) Scott receives my "A plus" rating with several gold stars as well. Gorgeous interpretation, excellent tempo, superb registrations. Many talented younger organists, at least in the USA, are highly adept players, yet they lack "soul" in their renditions. Sir Jonathan has both extraordinary talent and an abundance of "soul" as he plays. Blessings upon him!
Steve Henry : Fellow Kansan living in Lawrence currently, would love to hear you play. I used to go to Diane Bish’s recitals at Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in Fort Lauderdale, FL. She would open all those stops and the building would shake and a rattle. So beautiful.
Love this music, it is so very peaceful
What a beautiful piece of music...and what a beautiful church. I had ‘Largo’ played at my wedding...when I was growing up I loved going to the Sunday services just to hear the organ.
nothing on earth compares to the church organ
I’m still listening and I’m still in awe of its eternal beauty...
Love hearing these church organs being played.
Ez a zene is nagy kedvencem hosszú évek óta. Csodálatos!
Beautiful music.nice to hear. Much better than the simple music every day on radio. Gives a kind of rest in your live.
I remember the first time I heard this piece being played on electronic organ at an repair shop...that was almost 50 years ago...I've never gotten tired of hearing this piece...
Alas, they never played this in my local church.
I'm sure there would be more people on it.
I have heard it a few times, but its the first time it has brought tears.
Truly a beautiful sound and the organ has a grand tone. Of course not forgetting Jonathan's great performance. Filled my heart with sheer peace and tranquility.
I Choosed this as a one piece of my moms funeral service. Its beautiful!
Listening to this beautiful music, I feel as though my heart and soulwere being purified.
I could listen to this tune every day in my life great to hear
This playing on This organ good
Oh yes. Music has therapeutic value. It can revive wounded spirits and refresh our souls. Many church hymnals and anthems composed by gifted-godly men had truly inspired many like this one.
I agree☪️🛐
What a beautiful piece of music - had this played at my wedding...it was touching.
Played with great sensitivity! Thank you!
This puts one in a world of total harmony and divine grandeur. Such an expression of Love.
Breathtaking beauty: this music moves me at such a deep level I cannot find words to adequately describe the emotional response, just know it’s from some deeply unfathomable wellspring of joy.
The power of words. Indeed the most powerful force in our world. Franc I am not a religious man in any way but your beautiful words have really touched me somehow and I sit here at 67 with tears in my eyes
Onore alle bellissime parole di grande e immenso amore per la nostra sempre Amata musica del cuore. Grazie.
Magnífico organista .Excelente execução.
I love this arrangement. Beautiful!
I still love it since my childhoud :-)
This beautiful piece is from Handel's opera "Xerxes" and translates from the Italian as "Never was a shade" and is sung by the title character who is admiring the shade provided by a plane tree.
I've got to listen to the music performed by you just silently.
Wonderful! I still NEVER forgot this piece of music from boarding school days about 14 yo, now. Am 78 still lovely ! Cheers from NJ USA 🏴🏴🏴🇬🇧🇺🇸
Magnificent!
How can anyone find the
words to describe that?
How about just one -
MAGNIFICENT!
He holds an unchallenged position as an interpreter of Handel
This masterpiece he plays with inspirational skill and spectacular technique is a cradle of my soul, and a lullaby of my soul
素晴らしい演奏です。”主よ、ウクライナに平和を。全ての人に平安を”祈ってます。
my special piece of Handel's music and I get so much of a tearful feeling when I hear it played
12-25-2020 Majestic music in tribute to All Victims of the surging
contagious Covid-19 Pandemic during this Holiday period. May the
victims come and adore the Lord. RIP
Emouvante et brillante interprétation.
Où il se trouve, G. F. Haendel doit écouter et sourire !
Merci Jonathann.
On almost any take-off I have this music on my ears. Its magical what Handel composed and it makes mankind humble.
A very beautiful rendition of this excellent piece of music which first impressed me as a young boy some seventy two years ago at a funeral service of my aunt.
This extremely beautiful work reminds my childhood. Just listening an old recording while relaxing at the sofa. Further it became one of my first harmony classes while I was beginning to learn the piano playing.
Absolutely beautifully performed. Thank you Johathan - I am truly moved listening to your performance!
This is absolutely gorgeous, the bits of dissonance followed by relaxation. Marvelous. I listened to it twice.
HANDSUM! ELEGANZA! MAGNIFICANT! HEAVENLY!!!

Amazing magnificent performance. Thank you.
A hauntingly beautiful piece which used to be played as a prelude on most Sundays at evening worship. This is a beautiful interpretation, masterfully played. Thank you!
We could all be better people by appreciating this timeless music of a master composer.
Yes it is!
Superb instrument played by a master, very moving, Thank you!
A beautiful recital, I chose this for my wedding procession many years ago. Thank you.
I remember playing this as a kid, a simplified version in the center of the old Golden Book of Favorite Songs my Mom had. Thank you for playing it so beautifully, it fills the soul to overflowing.
I’m casting about looking for some suitable music for my mother’s funeral, and now I’ve found it. Beautiful but not too heart wrenchingly morbid. I think we’ll have her come in to this. Thank you.
Hope all went well. May your mother Rest in Peace & Rise in Glory.
A wonderful organ sound with great inspiration! Thank you somuch!
Absolutely Beautiful!Thank you.
Absolutely Beautiful!
