It is up to each and every organist to use what is available on the organ theyre are performing. Not one organ is the same as another. Sheet music does not come with rank or piston setting instruction. You have to read between the notes. Pipe organs are about sensation and emotion as much as the sound.
This is a grand performance of this work I have ever heard. Can you tell me where or if this is available on record or cd? It is to bad we couldn't here the final finish
The organist is very good, but it's certainly not Simon. I knew him years ago and he certainly doesn't look like that young man. As for the organ - I seem to remember that the original instrument was by William Hill, but later rebuilt by Harrison and certainly bears all their hallmarks now.
Dear John: I have been looking for pictures of the old hill console and screen before the 1937 Harrison organ was built it would be interesting to see those old historic pictures. Thanks Paul Brennan
Didn't this piece come about as the result of a competition? The challenge was to use Bach's name as the basis. I believe Max Reger was another composer in the competition.
What I love more in England is the impressive quality of music one can listen in almost every single church! In Westminster Abbey music is always gorgeously played and sung.
've sung under Simon Preston when he came out to Australia one year, not on year. Sorry about that everyone, I'm sure you all knew what I meant to say. Enjoy this piece.
This is Simon Preston playing this piece, isn't it? I've sung under Simon Preston when he came out to Australia on year to be the Guest Conductor of one of the Royal School of Church Music (RSCM) Summer Schools. He was really good, and I and others that did the course, learnt a lot from him. He was a great person to talk to.
Hello Kevin - in case you've not already found out, this is the Fantasy and Fugue on the name B-A-C-H by Franz Liszt - one of his most famous works for the organ. Though it may sound sinister, this was intended as a great tribute to J.S. Bach. If one takes the name of BACH the four letters of his last name are translated into 4 notes: B flat, A C, B natural (for h). That is literally what you hear right from the get go in the piece. Liszt spelled out Bach's name in notes. And what a brilliant performance this is on a grand instrument!
I am a young french teenager and i play this type of music and registration on my private electronic Roland organ in my home sometimes when anybody is in my house ! Congratulation for this beautiful and majestic Harrison & Harrison organ, i love it !!! I would be born English just for the quality of this music ;) Greetings from the suburb of Paris and i love england and English so much ! peace !
Bastien, your country gave the world wonderful Cavaillé-Coll organs, not to mention César Franck and so many more great composers. You don't need to be English. By the way, we want to leave the EU but not leave beautiful France!
I am 70% English, says the pie chart, I am proud of it. Our family has always claimed German; because a lot of young englishmen married German girls who were great cooks. The young german studs made a lot of german-english babies when one or two of the Channel Islands were occupied. Adolph would be proud!
I agree with you Les Westley,There are many dickheads who write in these spaces who cannot think for themselves little own can listen to quality organ playing.
Someone correct me because I'm gonna get this half-way wrong. Pt.1 Phantom of the Opera. Pt. 2 Toccata in G-minor. Composed by Sebastian Bach Beethoven.
What a shame after listening to some excellent music on a most excellent organ, I scroll down and find a bunch of people arguing over something. Please take your bickering to another site and leave us to enjoy the music.
0:25 0.31 One can see the former building on the site of the present Barclays Bank opposite; there's a HongKong Shanghai next door; an old picture. . You can still see the flag atop the Parliament House buildings from Victoria, but that is all of the building you can see. o0o .
I really wish I knew the answer! There is a fine recording of the Abbey Choir and organ (Douglas Guest/Tim Farrell) in which the microphones are placed so as to make the solo Orchestral Trumpet come across in a similar way to the current Bombarde reeds; as the organ is spread throughout the north and south triforiums either side of the organ screen, different placings of microphones can easily make it sound like a different instrument.
The church next to the abbey is St Margaret, Westminster. A piece of superfluous information that might interest you. When the organ was replaced in the 19th century, the old instrument was bought by a wealthy businessman with the intention of having it installed in his own house - however, after learning that St George's Cathedral, Cape Town in the then Cape Coliny was in need of an instrument. He not only donated the organ but paid for its delivery and installation. Bring your raincoat!!
Your organs may be larger, but i will bet that most of that pipework is based on european designs, in my opinion, Germany's Sielbermann 3 manual organs produce superior sounds to the american's organs. You build big to be more impressive, we build what we need and want. having a lot of something doesn't make it better.
Már, hogyne hinném el! Liszt Ferenc írta! Lisztet, nem egy könnyű, játszani, de egy érdekes személy lehetett, mert a műveiben, szinte követhetetlen, a gondolat világa is.
What an appalling exchange between visitors here ! Yes, it is a virtuoso work - Liszt's Fantasia on BACH (that's B flat, A, C, B natural) and this is a fine performance. Organist unstated. By no means all the organ works played at the abbey are as flamboyant as this. Fine organists / musicians know the power of the instrument and do not need to show off. It's not about might / speed, but musical insight and interpretation.
alright, we Americans may not take advantage of our our great expanse of land for exercise but, we got the cows and they make super premium ice cream! England has to import super premium ice cream. England is jealous of the access the USA has to super premium ice cream. USA means huge land, giant organs, corpseless churches, and awesome, fattening food! don't be jealous!!

masterpiece!

This organ is often recoded so close that all reverb is lost (which is a shame because the room does have terrific acoustics).
Oh to be there, To feel the air vibrate! The sheer power of that organ. It's on my bucket list !!
It's quite something in person.
Beautiful
Someday, I want to play this organ!
me too
ONE heck of an instrument!!!!!
I have to say, Guillou's version of the piece is so much better than the original Liszt edition
This is a grand performance of this work I have ever heard. Can you tell me where or if this is available on record or cd? It is to bad we couldn't here the final finish
English organs don't do anything for me. If all organs sounded like this I wouldn't be the least bit interested in organ music.
Liszt' Fugue on B. A.C.H.!

Thanks for posting this. Breathtaking !
This instrument has steel balls! Of course, an acre of acoustics probably has Something to do with it. Too Bad Player Not Known...

All can say is MAGNIFICENT!!
Whar happened to tge end??

What was Liszt's nationality?
Hungarian
@@andrassygy but his native tongue was German...
Love the sharp reeds/mixture at 3:24

Fantasia on B-A-C-H by Franz Liszt.
PERFECT organ for it!!!!

What is the name of this piece?
Great organ sound.
Did Mark Quarmby play this???

Indeed, I know the Abbey (not Cathedral) and organ extremely well!
Oh yes, country full of idiots...became a world super power in less than 200 years. Don't know of any other country that could boast such a claim.
China!
Oh and as you know, idiots seem to have the run of the internet.
Indeed there is. People shouldn't judge a whole nation by one person. The idiots will ruin it every time.
Moonlight & Roses - didn't know that.
Another interesting tidbit... the legendary Edwin H. Lemare was organist at St Margaret's for a few years before moving to the States.
Not in least bit jealous.

Alright i'll stop being a SOB. England is likely the first land I visit when I go to Europe. What is the little chapel next to Westminster Abbey?
Stop embarrassing yourself and the rest of us Americans you moron.
B-A-C-H .....
