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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
+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.
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.
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.
I may not be the greatest fan of Cameron Carpenter BUT what does make me happy is the engagement with the young. The organ needs new players and a new audience and I applaud Cameron's evangelism!
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
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 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?
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.
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!
I think you should have the freedom not to listen if you don't like him . Oh ! wait , I seem to recall , you do actually have that freedom . Normally I'm a fan of traditional organ normally heard in cathedrals but I like Cameron's adventurous approach . Nice to hear the organ outside of the cathedral too . I like his personality too ,although he can seem a little intense sometimes . Maybe it's the ignorant attitude of some of his critics , anyway , I wish you well Cameron .
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.
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...
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.
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!
Imagine holding her ears if she were at Wanamaker or Midmer-Losh after its fully operational. Midmer-Losh has nearly 300HP of wind energy for the total instrument.
I agree with the comments that he plays too fast. I listened to some Virgil Fox as well and the same comment was made about him. Diane Bish played the national anthem in 1:49, when Virgil played it in 1:09. I liked Diane's version much better. However, we all have our own styles when it comes to music and I certainly cannot play like any of these folks.
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.
@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.
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?

Watch him play Candide Overture on his channel, it's very, very clean. Not sure why he was this messy, maybe too much coke.

I like it very much.
His humour is one of the top ten in the world... Gotta be
Her german is really excellent.
Cameron Carpenter has a technical brilliance rivaled by none. He is the Virgil Fox of today. Hearing him play is a joy.
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.
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.
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!
Cameron Carpenter changed my conception of the organ. He is a Superstar! Bravo Carpenter. Greetings from Brazil. Thank you! Obrigado! Danke!

Cutting edge talented young organist pushing the envelope and providing marvelous education and entertainment.
I recently listened to his concert. He is an incredible musician who has a rich inner world..
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?
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.
I love how they go back and forth in language.
This is awesome. great to see music being introduced to young kids in such a casual, informal, engaging way
I have been in many organ lofts in large cities. It is an education to go. I love seeing young musicians experience that!
14:21 And why organ?
I still ask that question.
This is a treat. Cameron has a place in the whole of the organ and he is attracting new interest to it.
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.

This guy as an absolutely amazing voice.
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.
Would be interesting for Cameron to do some of his work as a movie soundtrack.
No, Bach would revel in Cameron's passion for an instrument he himself took a lifetime to master.
3:38 The Simpson’s Theme Song
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...

I want to live in Germany now

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.
I love the Organ So Much!!!!
Der beste Teil of this particular video ist definitely die Tatsache, that this Junge can spielen.
Listen to that solid gold pacing and technical proficiency.....
Cameron has insane control over the instrument.
The language swapping here is just as amazing as the organ.
I think getting kids to love organ through their own music is fantastic. For me it was the Star War Suite.
Sarah Willis did a fantastic job AND in two languages! Not familiar with Sarah, but great job on this!!!
I may not be the greatest fan of Cameron Carpenter BUT what does make me happy is the engagement with the young. The organ needs new players and a new audience and I applaud Cameron's evangelism!
He is it now. Fantastic !!!
Thank you! That was wonderful to watch and to listen to!
Goosebumps.
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).
Is this a video to make children enthousiastic about the organ? Or is it only a demonstration of CC himself?
Such an enlightening experience, well done!!!
organ is indeed and extraordinary instrument
Bravo Cameron 👏
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

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.
Hearing him play always brings "Being for the benefit of Mr Kite" to my mind.

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
One of the most amazingly talented musicians in the world today

someone please make this guy's life story I would love to know more about him
This organ is top ten, gotta be!
I love that she blows these pipes without hesitation. This is my kinda girl. Ja???
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...

Virgil was the FIRST Super Star of the organ. He would be the G.O.A.T of the King of Instruments
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
I only can say: AMAZING!!
15:34 I used to have a pipe organ at our house!
Beautiful! Thanks! :)
its so good program planing. so interesting.
