Never seen an organ played that loud. It's quite deafening.❤️❤️❤️
Thats when pipe organs are really majestic.
I was there for the last service of the hour of power at the Crystal Cathedral.. it was actually my first visit and I was amazed how the organ 'rumbled my bones' inside my body! I didn't realize the power of this wonderful organ. It was magnificent!
It’s not deafening, it’s marvelous.
Thanks for posting this! As someone who sang in the Crystal Cathedral for three years and sat in the choir loft right in front of this mighty and magnificent instrument for 4 hours a week (two services) every week, this is the FIRST video I've seen on RUclips that genuinely captures what it felt and sound like to hear that amazing organ. On the broadcasts, the sound is always mixed, adjusted, and balanced to accomodate, choir, organ, and orchestra. Thanks again!
Hour of Power lives on, now in it's 50th year and we remember our beloved late pastor who taught us the Pastor we all need to remember first and foremost! facebook.com/RobertHaroldSchullerTribute
Hope it gets rebuilt properly soon
@@mattbod It has been rebuilt and is now playing in Christ Cathedral, RC.
@@HiringAPtAdvocate What happened to the crystal cathedral?
@@sharipuckett6923 It's still the same building, it's just been sold, renamed, and renovated a bit on the interior.
Getting to play Hazel was the thrill of a lifetime and a dream come true for me!
What a magnificent instrument and sound. Goodness knows what it cost!
I Can't Imagine How Incredible It Must Of Been Almost Sitting In The Cockpit Of A Airplane. The Sheer Size & Power Of This Magnificent Instrument. And To Know Other Famous People Also Have Played There. The Combinations Are Endless. Very Nice Registration On Your Organ Piece. Looking Forward To Seeing & Hearing More Organ Videos .
Tuba Tune 😍😍😍 one of my absolute favorites!
Thank you !
Having watched a few times, you had a big, fun experience and you engaged the instrument well just walking into it. Well played! Damn you, I'm jealous.
Wayne that is some organ I have been organist for many years wonder where the organ is never seen it so massive
awesome concerto .. how wonderful that you were able to play there ... I hope to be as fortunate one day .. thank you for sharing!!
My dad was a church organist and he also gave concerts.He graduated from the Chicago Conservatory of Music in 1911 and was a piano tuner and pipe organ tuner along with his 3 sons and grandsons in western Michigan for many years.As a young boy would go with them to hold the keys while tuning in some of the larger churches in west Michigan,and also went into the organ chambers.I frequently listen to Michael Barrone on NPR radio to PIPE DREAMS as he describes about some of the largest pipe organ world wide,ranks,age etc .
I really love the Chamades coming in at 2:05 and especially on 3:47. These stops easily can dominate the full Crystal Cathedral organ.❤️❤️❤️
PS: Same on 5:05 I also love the Cornet stop playing in this part of this video on the main organ in Crystal Cathedral. It really has an amazing Timbre sound like a real Cornet which is a small trumpet sometimes played in a symphony orchestra.
You were lucky to be able to play this organ. It was rather jealously guarded in its day. Let us hope that as this building becomes a real cathedral, that this organ will elevate the current sad quality of (contemporary) Catholic liturgical music.
Years ago when the CC 1st opened up, I and several priest buddies went to see Dr S sermon and hear this organ.
WOW on all his sermons best ever and the organ and choir....
What amazes me is how when the organist hit some high notes the glass did not break amazing.
Now the CC is owned by the catholic archdiocese of Orange county, they bought it for some 43 MILLION US$++++
Would luv to know what the annual upkeep, utility costs are for this CC.
But to see so many people attend brought a lot of gladness and joy.
No matter what church, temple etc you go to, it is wonderful when we all can go for an hour or so, to worship and Honor Our Lord and to share in small moment of peace and love.
No matter what faith you are or no faith, my prayers are with you one and all.
Of all of the words attributed to Christ Our Lord, I think the comment......and lo I shall be with you even unto the end of the earth.
Pax+
The 64' resultant tone this organ is capable of would be far more likely to break the glass.
Many thanks for this "view to the past". This was still the era/time of Pastor Schuller and his Crystal Cathedral. Heart-warming memories for me. Wow, what a powerful organ.
Ever tried to play in the new Christ cathedral after the renovation of the the organ?
Would be nice to see a new video of you playing. :)
Ever since I was a child, I have loved the sound of a pipe organ, and this one sounds amazing, albiet out of tune a bit, lol.
i've seen this on a sunday morning, i was there, it's amazing! i'm from Canada
So uplifted by this posting! #GodLovesYouAndSoDoI
Wow. hadn't really heard the trumpets on this baby.
Got to hear organ in person for a moment back when bell tower was under construction.
So anxious for the re dedication in 2016, after its rebuild in Italy.
or 2017, hopefully 2016
Mr. Foster is an organist after my own heart. I've never gotten used to using organ shoes and always play the pedals in my stocking feet.
Love!
Surround sound got a whole new meaning.
Love Lang's Tuba Tune ^_^
The fourth snippet is by Louis-Nicolas Clérambault: Suite du Premier Ton, récits de cromorne et de cornet séparé en dialogue
It sounds like a hybrid of that and the Duo from Clérambault's Suite du Deuxieme Ton.
the most beautiful sound I have ever heard on any organ is at 4:07 with the single note. Not sure if that was a pipe or trumpet. I can't get enough of that sound. My wife thinks I am crazy for playing it so much.
actually is was at 4:09
after research, I know now that the sound I love comes from a trumpet en chamade
is there a name of the song you were playing at 4:09
Jerry Hubbard That would be part of the Prelude from the Prelude and Fugue in B Major by Marcel Dupre
sorry , I don't know
it's been a fantasy since that place was built to play that monster
wow I've been in there before it's amazing
The last place on earth one should find a pipe organ is inside a giant greenhouse.
I love it thank you ♡♡♡♡♡ I love it
Yes! They'll have plenty of space for their drumset, guitars and "praise team"!
I'm surprised only one person is playing. There are enough keys for two or three to play at once.
WOW !
First piece - Tuba Tune by Craig Sellars Lang; Second selection: Hymn: Holy Holy Holy (by John B.Dykes) Third Selection: sounds like an excerpt froom one of Marcel Dupre's Preludes possibly in B minor... Fourth Selection: I don't know...
Thankyou
That's a snappy little mounted cornet on the Clerambault.
Surround sound at its best !
The Hour of Power days are long gone.
Those are the Chamades at 2:07 right? What ever reed that is, It has absolutely a beautiful tone to it.
Oh lordy lordy!
Now that's rock and roll. with a bit of rumble.
Although cathedral size spaces often provide a wonderful acoustic for the organ there are a number of modern structures built on this scale whose acoustics fight any instrument installed there. The Crystal Cathedral is one as is St Mary’s, Tokyo.
this is the largest Organ and both. console's. have. 5. manuals. with. 290. ranks. and the. digital ranks to around. 310 ranks. it's the 5th or 6th largest built! impressive!!;
The Crystal Cathedral became Christ Cathedral a few years ago. If you ever get back to Southern California, you should contact Christ Cathedral and ask to play the restored organ I bet that you would like that if possible.
Awesome instrument1
The huge Ruffatti at Saints Peter and Paul still plays well, but the Archdiocese of Los Angeles will obviously need to do a major Chancel remodel to properly accommodate Mass. Dr. Schuller's old pulpit, on centerline as of this video, will need relocation, as the centerline of the Sanctuary is the historical alignment axis for the altar of repose and Communion rail in Catholic chapels, and likely also the bishop's seat in cathedrals.
It's the sixth organ in the world by its size but surely the first by the richness and purity of its sound, as regarding the accoustics of the place as the clever and so unique composition of each part of the instrument, at least as far as I can improve it by listening such recordings (I didn't have the chance to get into the place and hear it directly)..
God willing, His Excellency the Bishop of Orange will be taking possession of this cathedral in early 2016.
This organ has always had SEVERE tuning issues. It is quite evident in this video. On the other hand, your playing is wonderful!
Is there a part two? if so i wanna see it!! i love these organs! also is there any updates on the condition on the hazel wright organ? i heard there was water damage and don't know if there's repairs underway....
And marvelously untunable!
The hail storms in Phoenix would shatter this place.
I've read in the CD booklet of "Four Masterworks For Organ" by Fred Swann (get that CD now you still can!) that the only time the organ isn't affected by the high Californian temprature is between 19:00 and 20:00 after that tempratures rise again and the organ gets detuned. So there's always only hour to do recordings.
Emerson (Lake&Palmer) is coming!
needs to tune up again
@hartleymartin It is not air conditioned. The organ can have issues with tuning as I understand it.
Imagine a hailstorm or a tornado. If I where the architect, I'd put in some pretty big fans in the top. : )
@MsPaigeTurner who is explaining about the wiring of the organ? The curators? I'd love to hear those chamade reeds in person!
The organ sure has come a long way since Ctesebius invented it in the 3rd C. BC. They have only 3 components: controller (switch, contacts, valve), air source (blower or bellows, windbox)), and an audio oscillator (pipe).
it caused me pain to see This Crystal Cathedral so empty. Where were the millions of people who used to attend it either directly or thru THE HOUR OF POWER TV broadcast....Surerly the late Pastor Robert SCHULLER had made some mistake; but is not there some way of making a comeback. As was written in its history, SCHULLER had started with 500 dollars, and thru faith and perseverance, the Crystal Cathedral came to be. I think it should be restored as before.
I agree completely! Same for me! Thank you so much for sharing... What is the piece you are playing at 2:23? Loved your playing!
Tuba Tune by Craig Sellars Lang
je n ai pas eu la chance de l'entendre lorsque je suis alle a Orange country (ville au sud de los angeles ou se trouve crystal cathedrale)j'aurais enormement aime ecouter dupre sur cet instrument ,qui est a l'origine l'orgue du Lyncoln center de New york bien sur reconstruit et agrandi expodentiellement merci pour la video
4.26 On peut entendre le début du Prélude et Fugue numéro 1, de l'Opus 7 de Marcel Dupré.
Is it just the sound the organ makes or is it the glass that makes it sound the way it does? It's a really unique sound, and I'm not sure why.
Where's part 2?
I hope that place is double-glazed. I imagine that it must be like a giant greenhouse otherwise and the airconditioning would cost a fortune!
🌈❤🧡💛💚💙💜🌈
@ Jerry Hubbard, There's no way you play this more than me.
Whats incredible is not every stop is being used when they played it, and it already could blow the roof of the place.. could you imagine how it would sound if almost every stop was used?
It would likely run out of air.
what are the names of the pieces that you are playing in this video? Great playing!
For the trumpets en chamade, did each chest have one complete stop or did they split each stop between the two chests?
can hear a v8 engine in your car. as good a sound as the organ itself!!
Crystal Cathedral. Do you still broadcast Hour of Power to Australia?
Nancy Hobson the Hour of Power is no longer in the Crystal Cathedral. It is now a Roman Catholic cathedral. Being dedicated as “Christ Cathedral” this Wednesday. The organ was recently fully refurbished and is probably playable by now.
@@joshuamiller-le753 Thanks for your reply. We all worship a great God "Great God of wonders all Thy ways...."
Next time you visit CC, try this experiment: program one memory piston setup using ONLY the Aolean-Skinner ranks and program a second memory using ONLY the Ruffati ranks. For both memories, work the generals up 1 being softest to 15 loudest. Play the same piece (eg. the Widor Tocotta) on each memory, then compare/contrast. I bet when the late Virgil Fox designed this instrument, he interwove Skinner and Rufatti ranks within each of the many divisions.

Paul Jacobs can get it done. He is very gifted in the craft.
Juilliard - spells ot out.
RIP Robert Hebble, who complied a wonderful set of original compositions for the
instrument - I believe his only publication that is still in print.
It must get hot in there in sunny weather!
Oh, nice! You're right it would unless they have powerful air conditioning
+Charlotte Clarke they have no air conditioning. at least not yet...
How hot does it get?
it does get warm, but its actually not as bad as you would think. the whole building sort of acts like a chimney, drawing hot air up and out vents,and you get a nice breeze from opened windows near the ground.
@@charlotteclarke4665 We attended a service there a few years ago on vacation. I was so excited and happy to be there and when l think back, l dont remember being too warm. It was in February and it was a warm sunny day. Such a beautiful place of worship. The singing was out of this world, angelic! This video brings back wonderful memories, thank you so much.
try contra bombard
How about posting something more current when it's back
I have to say it, is it just me or do the solo chamades not sound quite as majestic now after the restoration as heard here?
Are there regular organ recitals in the Crystal Cathedral?
Will sound so much better when it gets back from Italy. This is a good example of how out of tune it is and how messed up it is.
I read that it's difficult to keep in tune because of the sun beating on it every day. But, hopefully the revamping they did to cut the sunlight down will help.
Was the organ in the Arboretum playable? I noticed it at the end of the video...
Talk about soround sound :O
The Diocese having legal ownership of a building is not the same as the bishop taking possession of his cathedral. He does that by seating himself on his cathedra and offering Mass at the high altar.
4:18 o.O
Are you from NZ?
lintonNZ Australia :-)
Made in Italy 🇮🇹
I hope they leave it alone and work around it.
Magnificent the organ may be,but, unless there is a throne(cathedra)in there for the diocesan bishop the building is NOT a cathedral.
Seriously? The dude is playing in his *socks*? And no other volume level but sfzorando?
Darth Digital Thanks for your feedback. Yes, he was playing in socks as we were just visiting and his sneakers were dirty and we didn’t want to mess the pedalboard. Also, there was a lot of loud playing for this clip, however at 5min you’ll hear some softer stuff.
of course! horrible drivel. I'm glad Don Neuen is also back.
A little Dupre B Major!!!
Slightly out of tune in spots
Great instrument
Never seen the place empty
Nothing like the old days 1980s
The 21st Century is no the 20th Century.
We've lost so much greatness
ORRENDO
What the fuck you mean with "ORRENDO"? tendras el culo asi` de "orrendo"?
This is not true.
