Our Maestro never disappoints!!! I didn't expect this piece played on the organ. Nice 1st class arrangement. Thanks for so many great moments during your concerts in Germany. Greetings to you both and good luck at Proms on Saturday.❤
I had actually completely eliminated this piece from my repertoire since my piano lessons (5 decades ago). But now that I've heard and seen Jonathan's unique performance here, I think I'll play Beethoven's Elise again soon. Brilliant!
Ah, the A Minor Bagatelle! It comes complete with a mystery: who was Elise? There are theories; we will likely never know who the Lady was. Jonathan's beautiful transcription is a perfect encore to what must have been a spectacular concert: a familiar piece, yet fresh and unexpected in an arrangement both true to the spirit of the original and idiomatic to the pipe organ! Brilliantly played and just beautiful! As usual, Dr. Tom provided the best visuals and sound: a joy for the eyes and ears! Whoever Elise was, thanks to the Brothers Scott, Herr Beethoven's mystery Lady received a tribute worthy of a queen!
I know who Elise is. Elise was a mistranslation for für Elise and was actually supposed to be Theresa. Theresa was one of Beethoven's students and so Beethoven decided to create a song that she can play. Beethoven had a massive crush on Theresa but Theresa was married already so in anger Beethoven made the middle and that other part so she couldn't play it
Thank you so much for the relief from looking at torrential rain/thunderstorms and really gusty winds. We are in the midst of a tropical storm that likes the Carolinas so much she has decided to camp just offshore. Her forward progress is slower than this 73 year old with two hip replacements can walk. Hopefully she will be out of here by the weekend. This performance has been a real respite from the bad weather and I truly appreciate your sharing!
Im closing on 60 and have had two hip joints installed. Its getting routine not to have any medicine at all when they bolt them on these days. Nothing. The organ music is very well done. However the place is getting empty and hardly any young folks around. I hate to have the thought in a generation this place will be quiet again. I hope there are many Scotts who will carry this forward.
I now have the goto explanation for folks asking why I need so many keyboards... Nevermind the basic organ theory. The quick instant changes show it all. Marvelous as always, guys!
Love how the decay or almost vibrer comes through on the pedal notes. Don't know if that's the instrument or acoustics or both coming through on the recording but is wonderful feeling into the music unique to it being played on the organ. Thanks Jonathan & Tom
Hallo, When i was a Child 12jr, I learned this piece on the piano. Very very boring hahahaha. But you Jonathan sparkling played this piece. Thanks. ❤❤With Love from the Netherlands Netherlands Netherlands Netherlands Netherlands
Here's an idea: a Moonlit Concert, if Jonathan has at some point time to prepare it, with Dr. Tom at the piano: "Casta Diva" from Bellini's opera "Norma" "Měsicku na nebi hlubokěm" from Rimsky-Korsakow's "Rusalka" Jonathan's arrangement of "Claire de Lune" Beethoven's Sonata Quasi Una Fantasia, the "Moonlight Sonata" There are other works as well, I am sure. Organ and piano for all of these would be heavenly!😊
Dear Jonathan, please please play the andante from Shostakovich piano concerto n°2 in F. it’s the 2nd movement and is a lovely unexpected romantic adagio, quite a surprise! Love ❤❤❤❤❤
I truly enjoy your videos. My comment is that you seem to following the trend with so many organists. I find the tempo of the tunes getting faster and faster as time flows. This video I believed demonstrated playing the piece slightly faster than intended to show off your skills at the manual.
Very nice! Just like Alfred Brendl, you give the piece its time. Unfortunately, many just want to show how virtuoso they are, and play it at a crazy tempo.
It’s so beautiful and traditional it’s not modern for falcon. Those times it was fantastic modern music. I love to mix the modern music with today’s music and innovation so we can move forward in music. However, I do appreciate this kind of music since I started classically I do think the modern music is amazing but not commercial music no.
All the 13 and 14 year old girls I knew in school who took piano lessons played this. I suppose that is why I never cared for it that much. Nevertheless, Jonathan did a nice job as always.
The arrangement and performance - of course! Wonderful. Still, to me 'Fur Elise' is intimate and meditative - almost wistful - and really needs the smaller sound scale of a piano. According to my ear, anyhow. Your ear may hear different!
I'd never heard this well-known piece played on the organ but I really like this arrangement.
Terrific arrangement and played with all the sensitivity and "heart" that is Jonathan's trademark! Bravo!
He's a real master at arranging and voicing.
A few months ago I asked for this piece in Jonathan's arrangement and here it is!
It is always a pleasure listing to Jonathan play. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Wow, this registration, just awesome!

Getting Goose bumps. Just incredible this performance
Absolutely beautiful
So beautiful, so wonderful! Impossible to listen to it just once! The audience also really liked it! Thank you both for the wonderful video! ❤❤🥰👋👋👋👋👋
Я прослушала это три раза , третий раз даже с закрытыми глазами что бы больше сосредоточиться на музыке . Очень интересно и красиво ! Спасибо ❤ !!!
Heard this played many times but not with this level of intricacy always a joy

Once again, another superb performance, transcription and production. Bravo!
Fantastic music and magnificent organist ! ❤
Proving once again that everything sounds better played on the organ
Fantastic Jonathan!😁👍👏👏👏
Such smooth playing, the song flows very well, just how I enjoy it.
It was a fabulous concert.
Beautiful playing.
Wonderful performance, Jonathan! I loved the sound of this piece and your arrangement for it on the pipe organ! Will Ortiz
You make me so happy. Thank you for all you do. xx
Please please please I’m begging for you to do Bach Brandenburg 5 3rd movement please
Oh yes I agree

Beautiful 😻 🤩 😍 😻 🤩 🤩 🤩 🤩 😍 😍 😻 !
I had never visualised this as a successful organ piece, but you have proved me quite wrong. Thanks for the posting.
👏👏👏👏👏👏 wunderbar vorgetragen und noch nie auf der Orgel gehört. ❤Danke und liebe Grüße aus Castrop-Rauxel. Gerhard 👍 👍 👍 👍
I now have the goto explanation for folks asking why I need so many keyboards... Nevermind the basic organ theory. The quick instant changes show it all. Marvelous as always, guys!
Pleasant and thrilling as always. ❤
Sublime gorgeousness! :D
amazing cover as always. loved seeing you and your brother live.
Love how the decay or almost vibrer comes through on the pedal notes. Don't know if that's the instrument or acoustics or both coming through on the recording but is wonderful feeling into the music unique to it being played on the organ. Thanks Jonathan & Tom
Say these three words quickly. Britain Scott Talent.
Gorgeous!!!
Bravo! I think Beethoven would have approved.
Thank you
Hallo,

Very very boring hahahaha.
But you Jonathan sparkling played this piece. Thanks.

Perfect❤
Here's an idea: a Moonlit Concert, if Jonathan has at some point time to prepare it, with Dr. Tom at the piano:
"Casta Diva" from Bellini's opera "Norma"
"Měsicku na nebi hlubokěm" from Rimsky-Korsakow's "Rusalka"
Jonathan's arrangement of "Claire de Lune"
Beethoven's Sonata Quasi Una Fantasia, the "Moonlight Sonata"
There are other works as well, I am sure.
Organ and piano for all of these would be heavenly!😊
THANK YOU!! 😍🥰
In our church, St John Fisher, Rochester, this is an Offertory hymn.

Will message again! Us coming to proms on Saturday demand Widor’s toccata as a encore 😡 😂
I think since it's Prom 29, BWV 29 would be appropriate. 🤔😃🎹🎶
@@terryr.sublimeorganmusic That would surely be the longest encore in proms history! Plus a might task of transcribing to organ
@@AmgineIX Okay, just the Sinfonia. 😉🎹🎶

Whato,
It was lovely but where was Benny Hill?
Is this on calliope?
👍👏💯 Will this be your encore on Saturday at the RAH!? 🤔🎹🎶🤣
I,m sorry once the Netherlands is enough.😊
