Honestly organs are one of those things that brings tears to my eyes and makes me just so happy that humans exist. Think of all the beautiful sights and sounds that wouldn't exist if we didn't exist. Just outstanding, it takes my breath away.
More like Europe exists. It was invented by Europeans
Not being a musician, I can't for the life of me figure how this guy can play 4 different parts with each hand and each foot. He must be an alien to make it sound so good.
Vikram Keskar Nah. Some people just cannot multitask that way. (I am one such person.) I can’t even tap my foot to the rhythm while singing. :( (This limitation isn’t limited to music; I just can’t multitask.)
You should have seen Virgil Fox. Still the best.
You don't know J.S. Bach? 8-12 voice in one piece of music?
@@Marksnotebook agreed!
dude this was so damn god i almost beat up my mom for telling me to turn down the volume
By far the best organ arrangement of this I have ever heard.
but tricky note the trills for 4-5!!
I'm so happy to see and hear new generations playing classical music.
Drummers: My job is really hard...
Organ Player: Oh is it now?
@Stefan Jaylen not you again.,
@Lucian Sebastian yeah sure.......
Organ Player; Hold my beer... :)
I'm a piano player, and I say that drums and organ are both hard to play because you have to play with all four limbs. Some people even think it's hard to play piano with your two hands doing different things, but I'm able to do that.
This is probably my favourite classical piece. How anybody can play an organ like this is beyond me! You sir are nothing short of a genius. Kudos
This IS my favourite classical piece, the bit near the end when it goes 'out of tune'.....Nothing else gives me that feeling. Nothing.
Yes this is the best piece ever
Most humans like simple melodies. Brain has a tough time with the demands of complexity. Most people don't like thinking, period. Too much work.
Organists develop four brains: one for each of their limbs 😄
As I said in another comment, I am a piano player, and it would be difficult for me to do the foot pedal bass with the hand parts at the same time. It's too much multitasking. As much as I would love to do it, because it would be cool to hear myself performing it in a big church, I could never do it with all four limbs.
It is a delight to hear this played at the correct tempo for once!
Correct is whatever you want it to be honey lol the correct term would be original tempo
@@joshgutierrez7380 Don't be so pedantic, original is as good as correct, it has the same meaning in this context, honey.
@@jammiedodger629 Except no one knows what that tempo was! The Metronom de Mälzel was only invented in 1815. Johann Pachelbel passed away in 1706.
@@furstjakobderschwabe Me thinks thou does protest too much.
@@jammiedodger629 No, he is correct.
Quoth somebody in the comment section:
"The fast tempo to me erases the wonderful sentimentality that this piece is meant to exude."
Au contraire. This "fast" tempo erases the sentimentality that this piece was certainly NOT meant to exude. To paraphrase another commentator, Pachelbel's Canon a 3 is supposed to be a lively harvest dance, not a funeral dirge. This interpretation brought that out perfectly.
This was a magnificent performance. Hold on from 3:30 on, wow!
@@econdude3811 ...from 0:16 will do me. Lovely music. Just, well....Lovely.
@@aubreyaub so you don't like the clamor before the piece? lol
"The circumstances of the piece's composition are wholly unknown. Hans-Joachim Schulze, writing in 1985, suggested that the piece may have been composed for Johann Christoph Bach's wedding, on 23 October 1694..."
The gigue that follows is severely underappreciated.
Nachdem man sich erst einmal an das Tempo gewöhnt hat, bekommt das Stück eine einzigartige Intensität. Klasse. Und danke.
Absolutely fantastic
i have listened to many versions of this and in my personal opinion this is to my ears just oustanding well playeed and perfect tempo wow fantastic
I find it hard to believe that there are 424 people who gave this performance a thumbs down. Most likely, they don't know a lot about classical music and think of this piece only as a wedding march where, if played at this speed, would be comical with bridesmaids falling over themselves. I only wish they appreciated the majesty of the piece and the excellent musical genius of Jonathan Scott!
@Andrew Ernyes your rite
Didn't dislike the performance; just his choice of colour for the shirt
Anne Mcgirt, that was a great idea of YT to take off the thumbs down, dislikes and keep encouraging the great quality musicians who bring us so much pleasure.
Hi Anne, small correction, not classical music but Baroque, but I do understand your love of music😊
I do
People get used to hear the modern version of this piece so they can't accept this original tempo. This is so underrated.
Oh, This Is The Original Tempo? But The Piece Is Hundreds Of Years Old, And It Was Only Written On Paper.
I'm A Noob At This Stuff. Please, Can You Give A Small Explanation? Can We Know The Tempo By Looking At The Manuscript.
@@gotterfunken BPM?
@Jean Johann Pachelbel composed this, not vivaldi
Wow, would have thought that the increased tempo was the modern interpretation rather than the original! One of my favourite pieces of organ music (Vigor Tocatta is my other)
@Jean I thought you found Vivaldi’s comments on Pachelbel and for a moment thought you had some special knowledge lol
It makes the Canon more delightful and light footed. Like it is floating in the air and not with one foot in its grave.
Très belle interprétation di Canon de Pachelbel : du rythme et de la majesté... bravo Jonathan Scott
I'm speechless... this is the best thing I heard in my life.
I love everything about this performance. The technique, timing, registration organ voicing, all. Nicely done.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
Brilliant! Just appreciate the skill of the organist - it's why we're listening at the end of the day!
Sat here in lockdown, single malt ( dahlwhinnie) listening to this and you what...nothing else matters. When lockdown ends I’ve got to see this guy playlive
niemals vergessen : Menschen haben phantstische Musikinstrumente erfunden und gebaut, wundervolle Musik geschrieben und gespielt. ♥ thank you for the music.
Ja! Das läßt hoffen. Grüße aus Nürnberg.
Never heard such brilliant interpretation before. Extraordinary.
I've only recently come to an appreciation of the wonder of the cathedral pipe organ. What a truly stupendous, amazing machine it is! Those who master it are, in my mind, Superbeings. Another level of human. I never understood how pianists were able to split their brains between their two hands. Now I witness people who can cope with three or four keyboards, dozens of stops? to left and right. More above the keys, and then yet another keyboard for the feet! I used to know, slightly, an accomplished organist who at times played, among others, the York Minster organ. I wish I'd talked to him more about his gift.
This took me back to when I was in the choir at St. Ann's (1960-1963). My late brother, Derek, was also in the choir and studied on the organ in the church under the pupillage of the then resident organist, William "Bill" Hardwick. Occasionally, if Bill was away for some reason, my brother would deputise. I used to wonder, as I sat in the choirstalls, if any of the congregation realised there was a 'double act' performing at those services. My father was a church organ builder when I was a youngster and during the school holidays I would sometimes accompany him on his tuning and maintenance duties. "Middle C", he would call out from somewhere inside the organ loft as he waited for me to depress the relevant key. Fond memories and to this day the 'King of Instruments" never fails to make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up
when I hear it played as in this video.
You are one privileged person, I would loved to have done that but I was blessed because I sang in the choir, I will always be old school and wouldn't change but they brought in happy clappy version of the original hymns and I couldn't accept the way things had changed so I left, it's the same all over now but I don't think you will ever replace the hymns as they used to be sung, such a shame. 🙏🎶🎶🎶.
Uplifting. I hope I’m Heaven there is such music
This is the best arrangement out of all!
❤️❤️❤️
The Cannon master piece played amazingly well.
Fantastic performance.
I've listened to this all night. Beautiful melody. And Jonathan is very talented.
The music was literally running ahead of you, so excited to glorify God once again. Halleluia!
I see this and think : what have I done in my life?? Mad respect for Mr.Scott
The performance of a master who has diligently practiced to achieve such excellence. This music makes me think of the glory and power of God.
Same
A lovely arrangement
And played brilliantly
St Ann's a favorite church
Gosto muito do Canon in D de Pachebel´s e o órgão da igreja de Santa Ana é fantástico.
Brilliant, thanks from Holland.
At first I was totally shocked at the tempo (quicktime), but by the end I was enjoying it bigtime. Thanks for posting.
Me too. At first i was appalled, but then it grew on me too, especially the grand finish.
Robert Ramsay Ikr? I had no idea that this was how this song was originally written to be played.
Played it at 0.75 speed
This is played so beautifully. Such a great talent. ❤
There's a lot of musical snobbery about this piece, but I don't care - I absolutely love it! I missed the concert in which Jonathan performed this piece so am delighted to be able to see and hear it now. A fantastic arrangement and performance, and beautifully filmed. Thank you Jonathan and Tom.
Jonathan rocks!
Meraviglioso,bravissimo, momenti di grande felicita'. Grazie mille,AUGURI ...
Back again just perfection outstanding perfect tempo just perfect, so lifts the spirt, life with out music would be just pointless almost tears to the eyes and i am a grown man thanks
Majestuoso!! Increible sonido del Organo , magistral interpretacion de esta bella Sinfonia de Johann Pachelbel, adoro a tantos genios del Clasisismo Barroco. Pero por esta exquisita musica, siento una necesidad espiritual,!! Es balsamo, es poesia, para mi alma!! GRACIAS,!!!!!!!!💐💐💐💐💐💐
An absolute fantastic performance! From South Africa.
Meraviglioso, stupenda esecuzione, bravissimo.
It's absolutely amazing what people can build, write, and play. This is incredible.
Some listeners here have questioned the seemingly rapid tempo of this interpretation. This reaction may be attributed to the following information on the piece from Wikipedia:
"In 1968, the Jean-François Paillard chamber orchestra made a recording of the piece that would change its fortunes significantly. This rendition was done in a more Romantic Romantic style, at a significantly slower tempo than it had been played at before, and contained obbligato parts written by Paillard that are now closely associated with the piece.”
The tempo taken here is not unduly fast, but it seems so because the familiar arpeggio figure in the accompaniment (introduced by Paillard) is not present. Both versions are quite viable in their own ways.
True. I prefer this original Baroque tempo.
thanks for the bit of info. I wasn't aware the arpeggio wasn't part of the original arrangement.
Thank you lew.
Wedding version is sickeningly slow
Lew makes some nice and interesting points. It seems the original score has not survived which would have been helpful in working towards a more authentic performance. But the oldest score we have does indicate Basso Continuo, in which case arpeggios on the keyboard would have been considered appropriate. Paillard in illo tempore took it a step further by assigning those improvisatory aspects to other instruments in an larger orchestral setting, not indefensible in the art of transcription. Listening to Jonathan's lovely rendition of this piece on a totally Romantic English Organ or Paillard's totally French modern-instrument orchestral version are both wildly enjoyable, but both likely far from what would have been heard in Pachelbel's day. Interestingly "authentic" was not a real concern in most musical history including the Baroque, that has largely come about in more recent times with the easy availability of original sources and recordings. In earlier times performances were largely in the context 'of the day.'
So beautiful, so inspiring. Pieces and performances like this make one to keep going despite adversity and pain. Thanks a lot indeed for sharing music and images of peace and faith. Greeting from Mexico.
After decades of being in churches and listening to hundreds of different organists Jonathan never disappoints! Excellent tempo, and just the right mix of majesty! Well done
Da geht mir das Herz auf!
Jonathan, just amazing! Thank you so much for this fabulous version!
Klasse macht weiter so es macht Freude euch zuzuhören 👍
... quelle Merveille !!
I just love this version. Thank you so much for posting this - it has brought me so much happiness to listen to it.
Beautiful music, thank you.
Beautiful, stunning, marvelous. Thank you.
This has always been one of my favorite pieces
Absolutely wonderful sound!!👏👏👏👏👏
Beautiful beyond word or music! You made this classic new again!
I could listen to that all day.
PERFECTION! Love the full organ! SO beautiful!
sublime, perfect and amazing. love it!
People seem to either love or hate the “fast” tempo in comparison to the slow tempo. Am I the only one who loves both?
me too
Me 2
Piano va allegro.
Yes.....
I love both too.
I found this dynamic, of the moment and very interesting. thank you
Brilliant performance, beautifully arranged. Love St.Ann's church what a lovely place.
One of the best and "fullest" pieces of music ever written by mankind.
Love this performance of Pachelbel, Jonathan. Keep it up!
It is always an indescribable pleasure to watch such a talented artist at work.
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing your talent.
This is amazing!! True brilliance to my ears.
That's so beatiful, i can hear it the whole day... you can play it again again and again... thank you for this years ago 🙂...
Singing in the choir there and experiencing the organ played there was an experience I will always cherish. Well played!
Stunning. And what a gorgeous organ
Super j’adore. Avec ce tempo assez rapide, ca donne une toute autre impression de ce canon.
Amazing performance, perfect!
The sound is full and perfect!
This is the music I can listen forever.
Oh my goodness!! I am go glad I happened upon this video: it is exquisite. Johathan Scott has offered something that easily lifts the spirit and leaves me smiling into my day. Thank-you.
Great work of Pachebel and an intense, emotional and precise play.
So radiant , colourful and joyful in all it’s glory. It makes you feel as though you could fly!
Magnifique.
Amazing!!!!
It's absolutely sublime!
My favorite genius! I always cry with emotion when I hear you play!
I played this so many times on the violin and viola with other violinplayers. But this is amazing. Love it.
What an outstanding performance! Thank you so much for sharing. Greetings from Germany
Bravo. Jonathan never ceases to amaze me. I've been begging him to bring his talent to America.
AWESOMAZING!!!!!! Extraordinary artistry in both playing and selecting gorgeous registrations of this organs stops!
I'm very impressed, played wonderfully, I love the pedal voice and the organ sound
The ending gives me chills! I love it some much!
Beautiful! I've always loved Pachelbel! It's wonderful! The church is also very beautiful! Thank you both for everything!
Beautifull!!!
excellent , very well done and thank-you .
Very lovely and nice 👌❤️! This is one of my favorites!🌹❤️👌👍😁
Truly superb. I play piano and organ and that is without doubt the best rendition of Canon in D I have ever seen or heard on a complex organ. Truly skilled.
Beautiful playing and the music
Awesome!! Love organ music!!
È stato un grande piacere ascoltarti, bravissimo! Impossibile imitati!!
I love this video of this guy playing Canon more than any music I like. Literally my most favorite one. I feel like I’m in the heaven.
It is so beautiful.... Thank you so much 🙏
I love stained glass windows in churches as well as this performance along with many other performances by Jonathan Scott who breathes light into classical organ pieces of music.
A truly amazing piece. Beautifully played Jonathan. A lovely church with a tip top organ. I have had the pleasure of visiting this church when I lived in the area but wasn’t fortunate enough to hear a concert. Maybe sometime. 🙂
