A fabulous piece of music, composed by a man who supported my favourite football team. Edward Elgar was a Wolverhampton Wanderers FC supporter. Wonderful rendition by a superb musician. Loved it.
Oh soooo soothing here at the beginning. I love it! Dr. Diane is playing through her fingers and heart, I believe. This is just beautiful! Thank you so much to all who make my listening and life so much sweeter! YT too! k
Great music This piece is played on Armistice Sunday in London every year Remember Europe that the Americans, Canadians and the rest of the British commonwealth saved you from the evil Nazi Germany. Don’t forget the Great War also. The Canadian provided some of the best soldiers within the Allies, Thank you Canada
I think the British also had a part to play in both wars and fought to liberate Europe because they were never invaded. I may be wrong of course. Weren't they the ones who declared war on Germany after Poland was invaded and then fought on alone (with their Commonwealth friends) for 3 years before any Americans showed up in North Africa? yes I think they were. There is no 'Armistice Sunday' its called 'Remembrance Sunday' for a reason. Its because we do indeed remember and cherish all those in the UK and Commonwealth who gave their lives in all wars. We also take a 2 minutes silence on Armistice Day (11th hour of the 11th Month) when the whole nation stops and remembers.
I like "Nimrod" by Edward Elgar on the organ possibly better than on the piano, especially when played on such a large instrument. The introduction provides some very good information. The piece begins at 1:47.
This Elgar composition does sound great on the organ, maybe better than on any other instrument, and Diane Bish does a brilliant job. 5,000 pipes, now that is some organ!
Every Year a very big Military Band plays this piece in Londen at Remembarance Day. That sounds Fantastic but this version played on organ is also Very Good. Greetings from the Netherlands
Nimrod is the biblical King who built the Babel tower to get close to shoot God The music give same feeling of ascending to sky I would wish if NASA make it the official theme
WONDERFUL SOUND AND PLAYING, BUT A FULL ORCHESTRA CAN PROVIDE A WIDER RANGE OF EMOTION AND EMPHASIS, BECAUSE IT WAS WRITTEN AND SCORED FOR IT, BUT BRAVA.
Lovely piece and performance, but the recording is awful - there is little dynamic range, and the distortion in the loud passage is grating on the ears.
No, no, no, Diane!! This is a soft, gentle eulogy for a dear dead friend.. the registration and relentless barrage of sound was more suited for “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” and not Nimrod. I think you have missed the point completely. Sorry,, must be your American training.
You know what's F^@%ing boring is your stupid comment ! This piece can get soo slow that it feels like it's going backwards! I have heard too many really bad (painfully slow, bad fingering, poor registrations, you name it! etc.) recordings of this piece! Absolutely NOT too fast. Perfection in every way !
This was so moving, never knew an organ could sound so delicate.
Diane doing the job solo of a whole orchestra! Stunning rendition ❤

So, so beautiful. Thank you.
Magnificient Diane Thank You.
This is one of my favorite musical pieces, and this performance does it justice. Very beautiful. Thank you for posting this.

This organ sounded more than stunning. She did so well I started crying.

Outstanding! Thank you Ms. Bish!
Indeed this is a music of true love...
Gorgeous, Diane -- thank you!

Dr. Bish is a briliant Organist musicians and listening to her make music is the proof. I agree with you Sampson
I saw the Toronto Symphony play there one night. When the organ sang in I thought I was in Heaven...
Beautifully played!
Love the footwork !
Wonderful music
Powerful lady on the organ
Where can I hear more

Wonderful
I would enjoy hearing her play that too.
bishfan if you are ever in Toronto go...
bishfan I think that was ken Thompson and wife there at the end...
What agreat organist with this tune I want it played on my funeral like the famous writer Agatha Christy xxx god bless me Mike collis
Waiting to see the 'architectural beauty' she spoke of in the beginning
Even the valet’s tux was grey.
Nimrod is the biblical King who built the Babel tower to get close to shoot God
The music give same feeling of ascending to sky
I would wish if NASA make it the official theme
"Nimrod is the biblical King who built the Babel tower to get close to shoot God". What Bible are you reading?

Wow!
ESTÁ BUENÍSIMO ALVARITO.RECIÉN LO PUDE ESCUCHAR BIEN.yO QUIERO UN ÓRGANO COMO ESE,JA....
lovely X333
She needs to play jupiter from the planets
My British colleague would say it’s too fast.

Lovely piece and performance, but the recording is awful - there is little dynamic range, and the distortion in the loud passage is grating on the ears.
Super, but for me I prefere slower Stephen Buzard´s performance.
Got to agree it is too fast....better not to watch as too many theatricals.....just play it!
It's not too fast !
This piece really needs to be played with rock steady pulse. That shouldn't be difficult.
No, no, no, Diane!! This is a soft, gentle eulogy for a dear dead friend.. the registration and relentless barrage of sound was more suited for “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” and not Nimrod. I think you have missed the point completely. Sorry,, must be your American training.
No it’s not. He wrote it as a tribute to his friend who helped him get through his depression.
Much too fast! Boring...

I would also suggest you listen to Stephen Buzard's (RUclips) rendition of this piece! Also superb in every way !
