Great organist. I was a chorister at St Mary's Bryanston Square in London, our choir master was Hugh Marchant, son of Sir Stanley Marchant. Young though I was, the sound of that church organ left an impression that has remained with me all my life. It's brilliant that Manchester has this magnificent Hall and organ and the greatest organist to bring it all to life. Every time I hear this man brings back some of the best memories of my childhood. Thank you the Scott duo.
Bach may have been the world's greatest organist, but you sir, are a close second, and we, your TH-cam fans, greatly appreciate your talent and virtuosity. Thank you for sharing it with us. I especially enjoyed the F toccata.
So, after seeing dozens of the greats play, years of study and playing yourself, he's the second greatest? Do tell.
I rather think Bach is the world's greatest organ composer and Jonathan is the world's greatest organist!
I sobbed like an idiot hearing that incredible transcription of the 1st mov of Brandenburg no.3.
Incredibly tight, technical and energetic. Mechanical stops certainly do add a perceptible depth to the counterpoint. No voices lost! Pure gold.
Thank you for this superb concert. A true consolation for the soul. Good on ya mates!
I’m sure Bach would approve of your performance of the Toccata, Adagio and Fugue in C Major. You are a wizzard Jonathan
Hearing these Bach pieces played so beautifully and with such innate musicality is a joy and a privilege. Once again, the brothers have treated us to a wonderful concert, for which I offer many thanks.
He is so talented. He has a way of giving the organ a true expression and brings emotion from the pipes ❤🎶🎵🎶
I was going to say exactly the same and then I saw you'd said it for me :-) It's the innate musicality which always gets me, whatever Jonathan and Tom play. Completely natural.
The Brothers are amazingly constantly learning and polishing repertoire, wearing respectful concert attire (with shiny polished shoes!), presenting their live audio-visual recordings with musical accuracy, great lighting and views from many angles, along with the very best sounds possible, and from them both undeniable enthusiasm and perfection! THANK you BOTH! I'm so hopeful that they'll be invited to the U.S. many times in the coming, post-pandemic years, wishing for them the very best
opportunities and venues! Am I a supportive FAN? You bet!
Across time, I can listen to Bach and tears come to my eyes just like when I first heard it, it’s so profound. A human being wrote that. Wow. There’s no comparison to that in any other form.
Thanks Tom for showing us all of Jonathan's best moves and great scenery. Capturing the World's Fastest Feet on the pedals and coordinating to get the precision you do is amazing. I dare say there aren't two brothers in the world at any time to rival the two of you for sheer talent and ingenuity!
Emil Cioran "Bach's music ist the only argument proving the creation of the universe cannot be regarded as a complete failure..." Thank you Jonathan & Tom, bringing us again the spirit of Bach's music in our homes and hearts. Soli Deo Gloria.
It may be one of the few human creations that an alien intelligence might find interesting.
@@linnaeusshecut3959 Or that an alien might consider redeems us! 😱 Lol!
Amen.
Ein großartiges Konzert, großartiger Organist, großartige Orgel, großartiger Bach. Danke !!!
Jonathan,
Bach smiles at you!!!! I,m sure!!!!
Thanks en Greetings.
Thank you Johann Sebastian Bach for this fantastic music.
Thank you Jonathan Scott for your fantastic Performance of his music.
beautiful performance🌹🌹🌹
I was caught! I was alone in my office listening to this awesome performance. At the conclusion I found it necessary to stand and give you my own personal standing ovation! What and extremely fortunate man you are to have this talent. And how very fortunate us listeners are to have the honor of hearing you perform.
This organ has a particular tone and sound love it
Die größte Ehre einem der großartigsten Musiker aller Zeiten zu erteilen, ist seine Musik durch ebenso herausragende musikalische Ebenbilder wie Jonathan Scott weiterleben zu lassen. Ich ziehe vor solchen Menschen mit deren schieren Schaffenskraft und Bereicherung für die Menschheit alle Hüte dieser Welt. Danke vielmals 👏
What a pity I wasn't able to attend live. Thank you Jonathan for playing my favourite piece of Bach music, the much underrated toccata, adagio and fugue in C major. It may even by my favourite piece of any kind of any composer. It was magnificent.
Dear Tom your filming it's a homage to the music!
The wonder of Bach is that transcriptions often go in all directions! Just over fifty years ago I heard a Leopold Stokowski transcription of the Toccata, Adagio and Fugue, performed by the Philadelphia Orchestra.
Jonathan, you are absolutely wonderful organist! I enjoyed your performance. Thank you!
7 times playing this video everytime is my favorite ❤ love this organ🎼🎵🎶🎵🎶
Thank you Jonathan for a fantastic Bach concert from the Bridgewater Hall. It was superb. I alsi enjoyed seeing the Bridgewater Hall. WOW!!! What a fantastic venue.
I can’t claim to be an authority on the merits of concert halls but nowhere beats the Bridgewater for me. I get a good feeling just being in there and can’t wait to return. I’ve been going to Jonathan’s lunchtime concerts for years so hearing (and seeing!) him play Bach on ‘his’ instrument again has been a joy. I hope we can very soon enjoy more recitals in this wonderful hall.
Bracia Jonathan odwiedzili takze Krakow ,moje miasto rodzinne.Krakow--miasto stare i przepiekne lezy w Polsce.Byli w Bazylice Mariackiej .Pozdrowienia z Polski !
As always, I'm never disappointed. Great selection of Bach masterpieces performed by, in my opinion, the greatest organist of our time. Always a privilege and honor to view and absorb his mastership of the organ. Stay well and be safe. We love you.
I was first introduced to Bach’s music back in the 1970 through the performances of E Power Biggs playing BWV564. In particular, the third movement, when played well, stands as one of the towering artistic achievements of any epoch. Your performance takes me back to those times and the marvel which Bach’s music has provided throughout my life. Well done.
This score, and how it is played is absolutely exhilerating... I have just closed my eyes and let my mind take me back to the time and place of Bach as he was composing this masterpiece; what joy this must have brought to the scores of people that listened to this for the first time. Fantastic work!
I can't thank you both enough, Jonathan and Tom, for presenting this truly marvelous recital. Both the playing and the videography are of the highest caliber. Such poetry and precision. Every selection was superb, and the "Air on the G-String" brought tears to my eyes. BRAVO! 👍👏❤️
The acoustics in the hall are even better when it isn’t full of people!! Thanks Johnathan for giving us the gift of Beautiful music to lift our spirits during this horrendous pandemic, you’re a God Given star along with Tom!! Whatever you both do, it’s always beyond Spectacular
Such beautiful music. Thank you.
It has been a true privilege to be able to enjoy this magical moment where music and interpreters have manager to make this magnificent instrument shine!!
Thanks and Congratulations!!👏👏👏😘😘
Thank you Jonathan for a superb performance and thank you Tom for a fantastic video and audio recording, together they are spellbinding! The Toccata, Adagio and Fugue in C major is my favorite organ work by Bach, I fell in love with it when I was eight years old and this performance is spectacular!
Ooh..another of my favorites🤗🥰...but all of bach' s pieces is my favorites!!! Thank you Jonathan! You are a real expert at the queen!!!🙏🙏🙏🤗🎹🎹🎹
That pedal solo. Wow!
If only churches, in my area, would hold concerts like this, I'd be in church 7/24
Sadly, I tried and so did my organist and guest organists. Just a few faithful organ lovers from our congregation have attended. OK our instrument isn’t the Bridgwater, but it is a historical instrument of some interest and we put on good programmes with excellent introductions to both the music and the organ. Generally, my experience of organ recitals elsewhere is much the same and of services in local churches offering very good organ music. However, if we laid on an orchestra of a 100, a couple of cannon, strobe lights and fireworks, and the same old overdone, overblown chart toppers it would be a different story! I hope your experience over the other side of the pond is more hopeful. As for this concert, as ever, excellent!
I loved the cello piece played on the organ's pedal board. Amazing music! And amazing playing! Thank you!!!
You must rate as one of the greatest organists of this century Jonathan. You also look and sound brilliant, handsome and well presented to add to your virtuosity.
Much love and God’s blessing on you.
A magnificent performance by a legendary organist. Thank you ever so much!
Una maravillosa interpretación, la música de Bach se disfruta de otra manera, muchas gracias y felicidades por su gran talento
Ja, unser Bach hatte schon echt was drauf!
Und dank von so begnadeten Organisten wie Mr Scott, dürfen wir uns dieser Kunst auch immer wieder auf's Neue erfreuen.
Thank you, Mr Scott!
I LOVE the Badinerie. I remember it was played as the clock counted down a minute to the start of an early schools TV programme when I was 10. It will be the next piece I study on the piano.
Thank you Jonathan for getting this wonderful instrument out of hibernation - and how! And thank you Tom for the great recording and film work! Fantastic sound and video, and not a camera or microphone in sight.
Greetings also from France. Aren't I lucky, sailing the west coat and have 4G😁. Looking forward to this
Thank you for a wonderful concert, Jonathan & Tom. It's interesting to hear the different tonal palette of this organ to the equally magnificent Willis Whitworth Organ. Bach playing of the highest standard. :-)
Thank you Jonathan for the wonderful virtuoso performance. Thank you Tom for the recordings and video editing - I can appreciate how much work that must be. God bless you both.
This is really High End Master Class of playing the Organ. A great honor for Sebastian Bach. 👍👍👍
An all-Bach concert is always a cause for celebration and, as expected, this recital was right out of the top drawer. I was particularly looking forward to the Toccata in F and it certainly did not disappoint. I loved everything on the programme. However, the performance of the Toccata, Adagio and Fugue was phenomenal, an absolute tour de force. Thank you, Jonathan and Tom, for a fantastic concert.
AMEN!
Yes, the Toccata in “F” is always a winner!!
Awesome concert! Even though things are slowly normalizing now, even after the pandemic it would mean a lot if you two kept doing these.
Je vous adore, tellement magnifiquement beau, vous êtes capable de me faire pleurer de bonheur ' que d'émotions et de perfection ' milles merci à vous.
Rémi
👍👍❤❤❤❤❤❤🎵🎵🎵🎵 My FAVORITE and you play it mmmmmmmmmm
Thanks
Bravo bravissimo. Superb performance. That "suite for feet" was fantastic. Thanks for you two Scott brother's
I love that, "suite for feet" - lol!
The pedal work is fantastic! The performance really makes the instrument sound magnificent. Thanks for sharing your gifts.
Second viewing of this amazing concert and I’m sure I will be visiting many more times. Beautifully played Jonathan. Thank you so much for all your fabulous concerts they have been a Godsend.
Such wonderful music. I hope this organ and this great hall will be around in the next hundred years. I hope civilization will still be here to appreciate these great videos. Thanks
Hallo from the Netherlands
Men o men o men so Brilliant!!!!
Thanks Jonathan and Tom!!!
Jonathan,
Bach smiles at you!! I,m sure.
Thanks and Greetings.
I love that you played the mechanical action organ console this time.
Thank you Jonathan for such a treat.
the cello prelude is one of my favorite pieces. hearing it with the voice of an organ was a real treat
God is in his creation, glory to Him, thanks Bach and Scott
Sorry, aber Gott hat versagt, es gibt ihn nicht mehr.
Bach und Scott bewerkstelligten ihre Kunst aus eigener Kraft.
Tut mir leid, ist aber so.
Amazing concert.
Two words: PURE GENIUS!!! What an absolute joy and thrill to be able to enjoy these two amazing masters. Back and Scott. Thanks so much for sharing your gift with us.
Just Great ! Thank you for your cultural contribution and for helping keep Bach alive as ever.
Alexander Beary Gavalas
Thank you Jonathan for playing and of course Tom for recording. What can I say? This concert shows how incredibly perfect is Jonathan's footwork ! And the Prelude from celo suite arrangement breaks all canons and conventions. Can be used as study for pedal solo! 👏👏👏 See you next time (mayby for duo concert).
absolutely stunning!
Мощно!!! Никогда не видела как органисты работают ногами. Впечатляет!!!
Thank you, Jonathan! I love this all-Bach concert very much 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻.
...the great JSB left what he received from far beyond human comprehension for us and the coming world. SDG
cello prelude with your feet! omg! im speechless! wow!
A great, great thanks Jonathan for this outstanding performance and Tom for the excellent filming. Bach on this organ is heavenly! Deep gratitude 🎵🎵🎵💗💗💗 This performance of BWV 564 is superb! Applause Applause! I feel we're deeply indebted to you Scott Brothers for these concerts!
AMEN again !
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️love that organ you are so blessed that you can play these wonderful instruments you are great
Always a sheer joy to hear Jonathan. Matchless playing and immaculate presentation. Jonathan and Tom are a great team and providing so much pleasure and interest in an instrument deserving a much greater audience.
All RIGHT!!! An all-Bach program! This should be spectacular! I can hardly wait for Saturday! Reminders are set. Thank you Jonathan and Tom! 🌞🎹🎵💗🎧🌼😀
Magnificently played! Bach was smiling down for sure. Thanks Jonathan and Tom.
More AMEN.
I think Bach channels thru him👍❤🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹
I can't hold my self away...this is a masterpiece!!! Briliant!!🤗🤗🤗🙏
A superb Transkription
and very difficult to play. A masterwork.
Chapeau.
Jonathan, thank you so much for demonstrating the ability to control the speech of a pipe (Aeolus speaks?) on a tracker organ (08:00). I never touched a tracker keyboard, but I understand that as the registration grows, the resistance in the keyboard become greater and greater. I was told that, in the past, the organists of Nôtre Dame de Paris developed massive hands.
Finally a rendition of the toccata in f on this channel. My favourite bach piece.

Thank you so much for this! God bless 😇
Once again, Jonathan, you've excelled yourself. You are absolutely amazing! And by the way, you NEVER have to apologize for anything! With all the fancy footwork, you can hold on to the bench as much as you like, and cross your legs as often as is required!
Thank you once again for an awe-inspiring concert. As my brother lives in the Hull region, if ever we're allowed to fly internationally and I visit him from my home in Victoria, British Columbia, I'll be seeking out where you'll be performing and he and I will be there, for sure! He, like me, is also an organist, but neither of us are in your league! And finally (for today, anyway) I really appreciate the fact that your shoes are shiny! :) So many organists wear shoes that look as though they've come from a 'Rag and Bone' man! Keep up the great work, and congratulations as always to brother Tom for his outstanding film work. Cheers, Michael Denton, Canada
Jonathan wears a pair of shoes made specifically for playing the organ. He explained in one of his videos that it is preferable to wear shoes with a softer sole as it helps to feel the pedals better. Either he or someone else said you would never wear the organ shoes in the street, as they would pick up grit and dirt that would be transferred to the pedals. For that reason, one shouldn't wear street shoes to play the organ, either. I've seen some organists wear only socks, and a few wore sneakers or street shoes. Jonathan is always proper, takes good care of his shoes, and dresses for every concert as though there is a live audience right there with him. Some of us have fun taking note of his & Tom's cufflink collections, too! 😉
@@Video7Rose Thank you. He most certainly does dress appropriately, even when he's only with Tom in a large church setting. He's a true inspiration to us all. And I agree about the cufflinks. They are magnificent! A wonderful organist and a great human being all round!
Absolutely positively brilliant! Well done, young man.
Oh man, great production work, fantastic playing (although I'd have been more bombastic) absolutely brilliant tribute to The Father, Bach.
Bravo and Soli Deo Gloria!
Thank you Jonathan for another excellent concert.
I hope that one day we will be able to hear you and Tom in Bath Abbey
The one of the best messages from above
Thank You Thank You - WOW !!
Jonathan Scott ist der zur Zeit weltbeste Organist. Er darf sich zu recht in der Nachfolge von Johann Sebastian Bach sehen.
I have listened to this concert four times ( it's 5:15 pm on Sunday in the UK.) Love it!
Thank you so much for sharing these special concerts with us. It's always a joy to hear, the interesting comments too. I find it very valuable to get such a carefully selected programme and this form always succeeds in enticing me to focus closely on the music as I would in a real concert.
As a child my mother took me to concerts at Woolsey Hall, on the Yale University campus. I was in awe, the sound was captivating. You have renewed my love of the magnificent instrument. Thank you so much. PS: The camera work is great.
Belíssimo. Eterno Bach.🍃🇧🇷🍃🇧🇷🍃🇧🇷💚💛💙
Messers Scott, thank you for the wonderful concert. From Arizona. USA.
Maestro Scott
This was so enjoyable. My favourite piece , played so perfectly. Thank you Jonathan and Tom. I am now 53 but I remember putting the record of this on at 10 years old and listening to it over and over again. Fabulous…
This is the first time I've heard my favourite Brandenburg played on the organ. Thanks for including it in your high-energy programme.
This specutacular performance is beyond description , and full of admiration and emotion , and comfortable to the ear and the mind
I can't but help think of E. Power Biggs... and the word excellence... incarnate through Jonathan come mind.
Maravillosa unión: Bach-Scott. ( Juventino Flores, Córdoba, Veracruz, MÉXICO).
*_¡¡¡Hola de nuevo...ahí te va otra Maravillosa unión: Bach-Guillou.
Te mando la transcripción de Guillou a la Bandinerie con su Organo que diseño el propio Guillou con el solo de flauta ejecutado por el OBOE HORIZOTAL por fuera del Organo, aportación muy atinada de JEAN GUILLOU, haber que te parece...y de ese mismo album, te dejo tambien el link de toda la grabación en CD.
*_¡¡¡QUE VIVA MÉXICO!!!_*
Van los dos links a continuación:....=->
Una vez más, gracias Jonathan, gracias Tom por este maravilloso momento musical que nos regalas. Gracias a Dios que les ha confiado este don. Saludos a todos quienes también lo han disfrutado
(Juventino Flores, Córdoba, Veracruz, MÉXICO.).FELIZ TARDE A TODOS.
*_¡¡¡IGUALNENTE JUVENTINO..MÁS QUE EXCELETES TRANSCRIPCIONES Y SOBRE TODO EJECUCIONES...FORMIDABLE ORGANO TAMBIEN...y te recomiendo la versión del ""BADINERIE" ejecutado en un registro de "OBOE HORIZONTAL" idea del tambien GRANDIOSO Y RECIEN FALLECIDO, EL MAESTRAZO: "JEAN GUILLOU" que en su Organo con fachada y diseño de una mano humana, (esto en los alpes Suizos), ejecuta fabulosamente. Saludos desde Toluca, Edo. De México!!!_*
@@pvmuskosming Gracias, Peter, por tus recomendciones que seguiré con gusto, buen día
Viva México (Juventino, desde Córdoba, Veracruz)
Thank you, Jonathan Scott for playing Bach!!! I went YAY!!!!!! several times.
Stunning and enthralling concert. Greatly informative presentations between works also.
It was a joy from start to finish, and brought JS Bach to life for me.
The camera angles, panning in and out and switching camera views was exemplary and well timed. Top work, guys!
To me the most amazing part is that you can use the pedals with your shoes on. Something that I was never able to do (years since I last played unfortunately) though possibly with enough practice, who knows. Brilliant as always. Thank you.
GOTTA say more! The camera work is MOST EXCELLENT! Perfect creative camera placement. I am no expert on photography but I truly enjoy watching the Scott Brothers almost as much as listening. A comment regarding the audio recording. It is great that you seem to perfectly capture the lower frequencies just as powerful as they might present themselves in person. Often pipe organ videos seem to fall short in the amount of bass that is really there. I appreciate that. I listen to Jonathan using two Cerwin Vega 18" "Earthquaker" subwoofers. It is quite an experience. Wish I could trade for a live performance one day.
Thank you for sharing your talents with the World 🌎
I feel so fortunate to have heard this multiple times over🥲
Just wonderful! Congratulations to you both for the amazing work! Thank you for everything!
BWV 540 is my favourite piece from Bach!
Mine too.
