- Watch free of charge on the Web: An organ recital with Cameron Carpenter from the Berlin Philharmonie www.digitalconc...
More than 8,500 visitors came to the Open Day at the Berlin Philharmonie in May 2012. It was an event with many highlights, which also served a good purpose. Through donations, raffle ticket sales and the auction of the Alfred Brendel piano, nearly 87,000 euros were raised to benefit UNICEF's emergency aid for malnourished children. For young visitors, in addition to their own area in the foyer of the Chamber Music Hall and special tours, there was an opportunity to discover the grand organ in the Philharmonie with organist Cameron Carpenter and horn player Sarah Willis.

The German/English/German/English/German/English was awesome.
They are speaking *perfect* American English. Is it common in Germany to speak both German and English?
Since the midforties last century whe have lot guests from foreign countries in germany. The eastern part lerns russian after that, but all other kids in school lern english. Most strange oxfordaccent at the beginning, but later students explore, that there is more than the lift, the elevator. And you havn't rent a flat, if you can get an apartment. First I want to make jokes about her accent, but this Sarah is a US-born british Hornplayerin and wie ich lese, sie ist seit 1991 in Berlin at the Staatskapelle.
Hello Hello It‘s common among the younger, well-educated generations, although many have a noticeable German accent (while Sarah and Cameron have an English accent when speaking German).
@@nswerhun: of course
@@nswerhun I don't speak german but I was told years ago from someone from Europe, that if you speak german you can learn english easily
I speak both German and English and my brain was fried at the end of this video
I speak both so it was lovely
I dont remember my German. _Ich vergessen das!_
Me auch!
Mine too, but it was the big pleares to understand!
I'm Dutch so I speak both German (everyone has to learn it in school, along with French) and perfect English so you can imagine my brain was even more fried.
Discovering organs with children... Context is everything.
He actually seems like a normal and dare I say it likable person in this - even kind of funny too. It almost makes me think that promotional trailer for his album was a parody - if it is, it's actually a work of genius.
His playing is strange though - very messy. I don't know if that's "by intention", or if it's just a hard instrument to play fast. I'd be interested to see him play a piano or keyboard.
+Chris Plumb It's his way of playing. There's a video where he explains some stuff about how digital organs are going to be the way to go (especially for performers) and he actually plays a piano in that. Not exactly any different.
@@RealRaynedance I really do not agree.
Watch him play Candide Overture on his channel, it's very, very clean. Not sure why he was this messy, maybe too much coke.
Cameron Carpenter has a technical brilliance rivaled by none. He is the Virgil Fox of today. Hearing him play is a joy.
I do not like Cameron Carpenter playing very much but I think that this program it's really "educational": easy to follow, nice humour, harmony in speaking together with Sarah Willis (a really good show-woman).
I like it very much.
His humour is one of the top ten in the world... Gotta be
Her german is really excellent.
Whether you are a CC fan or not....I really give him kudos for having the kids up there and introducing them to the organ and music. When I perform I always do the same thing...bring some kids up on stage and let them play some notes for the audience. I hope that the brief experience will ignite a spark of curiousity and maybe get another child to consider playing an instrument. I know in my case that is exactly how I was introduced to music 59 years ago.
Technically very skilled but when he plays it just feels too rushed and twitchy to me? Lacks any kind of grace, humility, or even emotional expression. Just my take on it.
Mr. Extreme he is the dragonforce of classical music, but less catchy
pikanoob Just doesn't do it for me. Even his sense of rhythm and tempo sounds off.
+Mr. Extreme Had the same impression.
Rhythm was off, and I think he even hit some wrong notes.
+Salvatore Endboss Agreed
This is a great way of expressing it. I just kind of cringe when I listen to his solo stuff, and when he works with an orchestra usually he's hard to make out.
In case you want to know, the music he plays at 10:50 is called "Bugler's Holiday". I played it with my band once and it's awesome :D
I knew it was familiar. I dont know if you play fighting games but theres an edited video with big band (all his moves play a note) and they played this piece.
I'm not saying he isn't good, but it sounds rushed, often times off-tempo, and sometimes even out of tune (hitting the wrong notes, probably because he's rushing). Dunno if anyone else here has seen that atrocious promotional vid of his...I expected more of a prodigy with that amount of conceit, although he did seem to be a lot more amicable here.
It’s his style of playing. Pianists can never be out of tune.
i actually enjoyed that he was playing messy because it showed a little personality
@@aidanmccormack5443 Funny joke!
@fuckoff his music sounds like your name xD it's the defiance of every rule in the book, that set bach free. He takes it a step further and plays a big fk you melody to all people who still like the organ. Getta fokkaaaaaada heeyh. Old farts of glorious nebulous clouds of stars and colors the kind so bright your nose does not even register the scent.
I've seen Cameron live and had the pleasure of meeting him. He is absolutely a genius when it comes to playing the organ. He is a very grateful and humble man. He sounds fantastic live. Cameron has his own touring organ that he overall designed himself along with Marshall and Ogletree organ makers. I say give him a chance because this video is only a small fraction of Cameron's abilities and talents.
3:38 The Simpson’s Theme Song
This is the Berlin Philharmonie.
he never plays anything musically pleasing
Andrew Valyear I'd disagree, at least when it comes to him playing Star and Stripes Forever. In most cases, it sounds similar to how most other people play it.
In this video? Of course not .This is a child's introduction to playing the organ. I think this makes him more sympathetic. Even though the SONY promotional video was pathetic.
I'm not sure how you want to define 'musically pleasing' but I suspect the same demographic of middle aged, middle class blue rinse ladies who swooned over Liberace have found another idol to worship.
He’s Virgil fox reincarnated and the EP Biggs bloc always put him down.
delnuggets I am beginning to agree with your contention... I discovered Cameron just tonight and I've been viewing his posts since the 2012 area of time ... All his stuff is just too busy... I can never really hear if what he is playing is accurate and in tune...
very skilled but I must say I dont enjoy it, I think Cameron would fair better on theatre organs
Cameron should do some homework and understand his instrument better... Reed pipes should NEVER be blown by mouth!
I've seen reed pipes blown by mouth. And they made the correct sound.
Reed pipes are hyper-sensitive to dust & dirt and a single speck under the tongue is enough to silence the pipe... Water vapour and CO2 from human breath causes the brass tongue and shallot to go green and oxidize... Leading to speech problems and unreliability. Blowing a reed pipe by mouth was a sackable offense in my day!
@@simonp.plowman7416 I agree with you, but it's possible. Not recommandable, certainly, but possible.
Their own choice to do it right? Just let them instead of that bickering.
I have some very strong views about Cameron, most are not complimentary but - it's a big but - you cannot deny his skill or his obvious joy at bringing these children to the organ. What he has done in this video is set an example that all must follow.
pretty damn sloppy
Yeah, probably because this is a kids' show, not an actual concert.
14:21 And why organ?
I still ask that question.
17:29 is it supposed to sound that dissonant...?
Cool program but I have to agree with some other comments I wish he would slow down a little in his playing
no matter how he plays
It’s very good to educate children this way.
Btw I like his style. Somebody likes classic, somebody like morden, so what?
No, Bach would revel in Cameron's passion for an instrument he himself took a lifetime to master.
9:45-10:00= Aboslute mind rape and earrape
Cameron Carpenter changed my conception of the organ. He is a Superstar! Bravo Carpenter. Greetings from Brazil. Thank you! Obrigado! Danke!
Absolutely superb. What an amazing young organist and as for Sarah, well, such an amazing talented presenter as well as world-class horn player. Heroic!
Is this a video to make children enthousiastic about the organ? Or is it only a demonstration of CC himself?
I want to live in Germany now
(wants a Berliner Philharmoniker shirt too)
Agreed--way cool!
The instruments of Bach's time were purely mechanical and not capable of faster tempos. Also improvisation and transcription were normal aspects of being a versatile musician with composers "borrowing" each other's themes all the time. Woe the invention of the copyright lawyer.
Mein Gott! Organ Gott! She got a headache from that music..
Those poor kids
I love how they go back and forth in language.
spielen kann er....keine frage, aber für mich klingt das irgendwie zu schnell und zu überladen......habe schnell das gefühl, das der organist im totalen zeitstress ist.....
so sehr ich seine spielerische technik bewundere, aber - oberflächliche Show, tut mir sehr leid um sein Talent !!
I don't understand what you're saying..... just because two things don't always corrolate doesn't mean they can't. He is an extravagant weirdo, but because he impresses people with his weird personality he can't play well? Am I getting that right?
I stopped watching after the Simpsons theme. It's so messy and out of rhythm!
15:34 I used to have a pipe organ at our house!
How impressive...…...great teaching for one and all!! Ausgezeichnet, ich hab' alles genoßen!! Vielen Dank!
NO NO NO you don't blow into reeds!
HORRIBLE
I have no use for him
You've given up on trying to explain your statements? Your answer seems ignorant to me. I don't believe that intellect has something to do with with the response you give to certain music. And then you gave a comment where you implied my music taste, which I don't even understand. You have your own music taste, that's great. I still haven't understood something, where do you find missing emotional depth? I would welcome a somewhat serious answer, as my question is serious as well.
I love this evy time. When I was younger I went to organ chambers in some old ones in Chicago. This brought back memories. The guys I was with were good but nothing like Cameron. Thanks for posting this. Wolf.
Did he just play the mexican hat? LOL
OK, I don't know what to say about this? If you tell me he has talent as I'm not a professional I can't argue about it, but not my taste way to choppy and all over the place with his music.
Tronman63 There are a lot of people that are "professionals" in music with fancy titles. But if they fail to connect with their audience in some way then in the end it doesn't really matter and nobody cares. I am an amatuer musician and I must say that he is very choppy and rushed. Even his tempo is off many times. I honestly fail to see why some would consider him a professional. Simply being able to play elaborate pieces of music fast is not professional.
I don't think you can dogmatize your definition of "musical depth". What do exactly do you mean by "similiar output"? I don't quite grasp the substantial part of what you are saying, though I believe to have understood the general message you are trying to put out.
I understand that he is a amazing organist but..... His playing leaves me empty. He's an organist for the obscure. He's the only organist in the world that if I play completely out of tune and tempo .... That's ok!
I stand by the assertion that you would be surprised how many young people like classical music, especially in Europe. In fact, there are probably more classical music fans now than there were when it was being written.
My first sentence was supposed to mean that classical/organ isn't the only high form of music. There is heaps of high quality modern composing, just as there is heaps of high quality classical.
2:47. When my dad when he goes No. 2 and No. 3 XD
9:47. When my dad really gets it out XD.
I think this may have been an "off day" for Cameron. Go watch some of his other videos and you will see how talented he is.
you should NEVER allow someone behind the scenes while playing, esp. at or near full volume!( just like a belfry- place in church tower where the bells are hung); the volume can exceed tolerable or safe levels and even make someones ears bleed!!, esp. if the volume shutters are partly open (or shut) as the place the presenter is in, is from other organ videos, a sound proof box! and this can reverb/ echo sound waves, and cause damage.
I didn' t know i would' ve respected this much in my entire life someone with such a funny aircut.
Great job, this is surely a nice way to teach kids.
Could i know by the way what' s Cameron playing at 16:16?
I don't really know the piece, but I recognize the Irish Washerwoman tune in that.
sounds a bit like fantasia on the "dargason", not sure though
9:47 - sounded like Notre Dame in Paris :P
This is awesome. great to see music being introduced to young kids in such a casual, informal, engaging way
Very professional. No stuff shirt he. Every kid on the planet should be exposed to this. Most of them would love it, but . . .its those blasted techy things that are getting in the way of music's culture.
Hmmnn ... 14 children. 13 girls. 1 boy. But, how many organists are women? What does this say? Anything? Just asking.
He brings to mind the wonderful show pianist Liberace. Cameron in my humble opinion is a truly great organist but has sadly fallen into the commercial trap of pleasing the masses. Lang Lang of the piano world springs to mind.
Now with both I feel if they bring more people to the world of organ or piano then this is a jolly good thing indeed. People like me who are purists should shut up and simply hope that those brought to the organ or piano may begin to learn and appreciate the truly great players of these king of instruments. Although my toes curl while listening to Cameron I have to bare in mind that many people who would not normally listen to such music are indeed enjoying his skills.
Pray hope they begin to understand why I do not think he is really that good. Learn more about what he is doing and please go to concerts of deeply respected performers.
Thank you Cameron for bringing this music to a wider audience.
A fascinating video and a great performer, those that criticise him for being to flashy or fast, well he is ABLE you are not.
+David T People said that Liberace was too flashy... I have met CC at one of his concerts. The next day I was at lunch with my partner, and he was at the same restaurant, and was absolutely a joy to be around. He was not this pretentious snob that everyone seems to think he is...
yeah, and from what I can gather just by watching the various interviews he's taken, he is incredibly intelligent. I'd say genius. I have great respect. He's been to Sydney a couple of times, sadly I never heard him live, here.
Quite funny how an American (forcefully) speaks English like a German.
I found amazing, loved it. now I know why Mozart did not have much recognition at the time, it was different and brilliant, temperamental and talented, traditionalists did not accept and does not accept this type of innovation. I love Cameron.
Mozart had recognition, and Haydn even more so. Beethoven did too. They revolutionised music.
hat nichts mit Musik zu tun
Cameron Carpenter is amazing. Is that a wig of sorts or is it his real hair? Reminds of the pink wig Mozart puts on in Amadeus
Would be interesting for Cameron to do some of his work as a movie soundtrack.
wonderful video, but that was pretty dangerous standing in the organ cabinet so close to the pipes when they all played at once. For a musician, she should be concerned about damaging her hearing. Ditto for the camera person. Otherwise, Bravi Tutti!
Was she really in the room with the maximum noise? If they were smart, a bit of illusion was involved there...
Actually he performs brilliantly on both classical and theater organs. The music he played for the children here would go far better on a theater organ. Strangely enough when he plays theater organs, he does not use much of the tremulants, like most theater organists do.
I knew the Irish Washerwoman at the end.
WHAT is he playing at 11:00 - I can't figure out what the hell it is! o_O
Leroy Anderson, "Bugler's Holiday."
Oh dont stroke that ego
Ähm, die Tiefe mit der die Pfeifen in der Orgel stecken hat auch einen Einfluss auf den Klang.
Nur wegen der Eule kann man jetzt jemanden zum Intonieren kommen lassen...
HAHA~i like those kids play that organ max power~hehe~~~
That organ would sound much better, without him playing it 😐😞
Never thought I would hear The Simpsons" theme played on the organ. Walking through the chambers with the camera was a great way to give the kids a feel for what goes on without walking the whole class through there - which would be impractical. That was just fun!
What music did he play at 16 :00?
13 girls/1 boy... politically correct.
If it's any consolation, the boy wishes he were a girl.
You want more boys to get off on?
+Linda Nelson So he too can have a chance to compete in the Victim Olympics?
In the thumbnail his face looks like Michael Jackson’s
diese "knöpfe"nennt man registerzüge das gedakt ist ein toller 8' und 16' streicher wie das gemps horn in 8' 4'
Cameron, you are an outstanding great artist on the organ. Truly you have command of the organ not visa versa. Your way with young people is genuine and you radiate kindness in your personality and in so doing make the King of Instruments likeable as well.
Kann der Mann auch schön spielen....? Also nicht nur schnell, sondern so richtig.....Musik machen?
Damals wohl nicht... :(
Er kann
is it me or is he playing toooo fast? it sounds like he's in a rush. doesn't sound good tho. =/
I'm too childish for the avalance of organ references I've been presenting here.
cool instrument, horrible music...
This music sounds like what it's having a nervous breakdown.
I love this organ expedition with Cameron and Sarah Willis. It's great to play and show the children of today great music and to teach them about the pipe organ. I learned a few things myself.
The language swapping here is just as amazing as the organ.
organ is indeed and extraordinary instrument
Why do you invite such showmen that call themselves musicians?
what is the name of the piece at 16:16
i know it but i won't tell you.
It's kind of a version of the Irish folk tune "The Irish Washerwoman"
Cameron has insane control over the instrument.
Leute, was habt ihr mit eure Sprache gemacht?! Was fuer eine Mischung?! Es tut mir leid :(
Zwei Amerikaner in Berlin.........mal nicht in Paris................lächel....
Man kann aber auch schön spielen...😊
What is that piece he plays at 2:10 called ? I've heard it hundreds of times(Looney Tunes, remember ?) and I can NEVER get hold of the name. If you know, please help me. Thanks in advance.
That’s "El Jarabe Tapatio" - olé!
Thanks a LOT ! I've been hunting around for it for months.
+Berliner Philharmoniker Ole = expresion del pais España.
first piece is Simpsons and second is praise ye the lord
Der beste Teil of this particular video ist definitely die Tatsache, that this Junge can spielen.
Besides being a talented horn player, Sarah is also a great bilingual presenter! Indeed a lady of many talents!
Messy cluster of pipe organ sounds
Amazing, amazing performance.. this is truly a Gem to see in such high-quality video :*}
Hahaha 8:49 "that is by Steve Reich"
I recently listened to his concert. He is an incredible musician who has a rich inner world..
Are ju german or inglisch
Virgil was the FIRST Super Star of the organ. He would be the G.O.A.T of the King of Instruments
Dear Cameron; Thanks. I'm writing this on Aug, 31, 2017 AD., after have seen this vedio number of times. In other words, I've been keep my 'eye' on you for many years now. (On the personal side, how are you doing ? I suppose you're busy beyond belief. Know that I wish you heaven.) And yet, I'm so grateful you are in our world. Love you. With Grace. CVD
Even though he plays very 'loose' here, his other work is very tight and clean. Watch Candid Overture on his channel, it's flawless (and live).
I feel the same way about Cameron's playing, but the way that he engaged the kids was wonderful. He will ALWAYS be a controversial character..
