- I hope this will brighten your day! I still can't get over the incredible sound of Aeolian Skinner Opus 150a at St John the Divine. It's like driving an extremely highly-charged Maserati. Some friends accompanied me to my rehearsal last night and we filmed a bit of Widor on a couple of iPhones. Sound is via my Zoom H 5. Turn the volume up quite high, poor a nice large glass of French red and enjoy ...
STUNNING!!!!!! WHAT AN AMAZING ORGAN THIS IS!! GREAT PLAYING - WONDERFUL VIDEO AND SOUND!!
Absolutely Amazing, takes me back to happy Childhood memories 😊 Wow !
OMG When I heard this I was in Heaven! That was amazing David! WOW! Sounded Great on My Bose Headphones!
The most important division of this magnificent organ is the 16,000,000 sq ft of air space enclosed in this cathedral.
One would think that this organ is the largest in NYC,but it isn't by a third.
This instrument shows what 141 ranks of pipe organ can and should sound when playing this piece.
Eight seconds of decay.
This is " how you do a ball".
The electronic organ being used ,currently, is a fine "imitation " of a pipe organ. But it can't "hold a candle " to this magnificent beast of a pipe organ.
Love his tempo because I am able to relax and enjoy the whole toccata.
The best part of this performance is the seven seconds of decay.
This is a skinner refurbished by aolean skinner.
Thrilling performance, and from memory!!
Thanks so much!
5:30 am too early for red. And my coffee is going cold watching,,, but who cares. Superb love it.
This was always played for high holidays at my childhood church. This organ, I've actually been in the pipes. Family vacays with my dad...we explored pipe organs all over the country.
Great presentation, great organ! Thanks!
Thank you too!
Absolutely marvellous.
Beautiful! And what a magnificent instrument!
😍 gorgeous
Bravo!!! And the same keys that Virgil Fox once played. Awesome prefommance
Such power. I have a recording of Jaon Lippincott playing this piece or music, on this organ, and the very best part of the recording was the ten seconds of "decay" after she finished this glorious piece.
I love the tempo. I can hear the entire piece sixteenth notes and all not just the pedal.
BRAVO!! I love how Mr. Briggs played at a tempo that allowed me to savior each delicious note and chord of this simple but demanding organ work.
The "eight " second decay is a wonderful finish to this toccata.
Wow!!stunning Bravo!!
Beautiful performance, David. I liked the sforzandi in the quiet passage--very effective!
Bellísima versión y la velocidad es ideal, gracias.
Wonderful thank you David my favorite😍
Glad you like it!
Sounds remarkably well given how long the reverb is in that room. Impressive! Most organists would blast through this like there’s a fire in the building and turn it into a jumbled up, incoherent mess. I can hear the individual notes on this! Widor would be proud!
Fabulous - what more can be said?!
Brilliant, David !!
Wonderful. Thanks.
Wow spectacular performance, love seeing someone play the organ.
Bravo David ! You played the piece excellently. I sat back and closed my eyes and enjoyed every moment...
Great video. This is one of the few good sounding and good looking organ videos. Most of the time it is recorded on a phone without a tripod and there are no recordings of the pedals
Sensational!
people knock Zoom, but it does what it says on the tin. I used one to record you at York Minster, with your permission of course
Perfect pace and articulation for the acoustics. Well done. I'm trying not to mention Diane Bish... oops, I just did...
WOW!!!!!!!!
Ebbene si, la performance mi è piaciuta parecchio. Di solito su questo pezzo sono molto critico, pochi lo suonano in modo ideale, ma qui siamo molto vicini alla perfezione stilistica. Forse, unico appunto, un po' veloce. Ma ... sublime. Complimenti !
How do you manage with such a cavernous acoustic? Wonderfully played!
The 2nd Congregational Church in Rockford Illinois has a large Skinner Organ, and when the Toccata was played at East, the whole cathedral area shook when the fff stops were hit. Unfortunately, a recording was never made of the organist playing the Toccata
I'll pass on the wine. Been sober 10 years. Thanks, though.
That Zoom is working quite nicely for sound. What editing software did you use to sync the audio & video?
Think it would have been in iMovie, the credits say iMovie.
Flippin' 'eck.
