Hi Jonathan & Tom - Please please do give us who cannot travel an upload of at least one piece from Lichen Basilca in Poland and from San Sebastian Cathedral in Spain.
@@epincionAn extract from the Harmonium concert would be welcome too .
The quote from Saint-Saens at the end is quite emotional. A heartfelt comment from a human soul. This is exactly what will be missing if AI takes over the arts. 😢
Absolutely masterful. I would never have believed anyone could have transcribed and played this extraordinary pinnacle of Saint-Saens' Organ Symphony so powerfully. I had always felt that as gorgeous as the orchestral arrangement is, the organ itself was slighted, reduced to a powerful but relatively slight presence. What you have accomplished here is to make this "Organ Symphony" an actual organ symphony. Saint Saens would cheer your work and your extraordinary virtuosity. Tom's elegant video of this great event was, as it always is, excellent. The two of you have accomplished a musical and video high point. Bravo from high in the Hollywood Hills.
Agreed. The person waving the stick in front of the orchestra, or the sound engineer, usually cuts the organ out altogether.
I think what most people miss, is that the work is not a symphony for organ. It is a symphony with organ. Just like any other orchestral instrument it has it's glory and it also has it's texture filling times. This recording however is a True Organ Symphony, this is Organ genius at it's finest. The original is orchestral symphonic genius. Both are genius in different ways and I feel that that distinction must be made clear.
I agree with you.
You must be a exhausted! More than spectacular!!! It's a tribute to the organ builder that the organ could keep up with you!
It will be 4.00 am Monday morning here in Melbourne Australia but we will be awake and ready for yet another wonderful experience! Waiting with excitement.
Marathon performance! Gold medal stuff! It's a wonder he could stagger away from the stage after 37 minutes of high powered concentration!
Heard it a couple of weeks ago at the Bridgewater Hall. It was out of this world. Totally immersive. Jon\than (and Tom) is very talented and a credit to the organ (and piano) world. Keep up the lovely work, and I am sure the mouse will be dancing in the organ case!!!!!
Esta preciosa interpretación y versión de la obra tal vez su autor no la presentó por temor a volverla menos popular e inaccesible. Pero siempre que la escuché en su versión original yo quedaba insatisfecha. Con hambre de una mayor extensión en la participación del órgano. Muchas gracias por la modificación, la interpretación y hacerla accesible para todos nosotros al publicarla .
OMG!!!! Brilliant!!! SHEAR GENIUS!! BRAVO, BRAVO, BRAVO! Edwin H. Lemare reincarnated. I am completely blown away by this performance.
Has Jonathan ever broken an organ? Well he pushes them to their limit. My favourite work, my favourite organist, my favourite organ. Truly brilliant! much love Alex
Far from breaking it, he's cleared out any dust, nests and feathers that might be lurking within!😂
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! Idon't have words!!! IN EXTASIS!
Stunning performance Johnathan & thanks to Tom for excellent & visuals. Must be first time anyone has transcribed this piece only for organ & played it personally.
So wonderful hearing the audience reaction 😊
What you say is absolutely correct. The original is a symphony "with" an organ, but John Scott has given us an organ symphony. Both are great.
Greetings from Boise, Idaho! This concert was absolutely magnificent! To hear and see you, Jonathan, live and in person, was the experience of a lifetime! And Tom, your audio and video work perfectly compliment the music! This piece was the entire reason for my trip to Manchester from Boise. I was so moved that I was beyond words when I spoke to both Tom and Jonathan. Your work is truly remarkable. To see and hear from the third row was a most memorable experience. Thank You!
Bravo👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Hi Jonathan, this was so great ... wow!!!
Thanks so much... I did enjoy every moment!!
I wish I could have there!!
Best regards, Maarten Buma

It just seems totally impossible for one man to be this skilful. Amazing performance as always. Bravo Jonathan.
What a magnificent, tremendous performance. I have never heard Saint Saens Organ Symphony 3 in all 4 movements❤❤❤
Tremendous!
Jonathan the effort you and Tom put into your videos is never, ever matched! National treasures you both should be designated. Many of us have already come to this conclusion based on your high personal standards, and the integrity you demonstrate to each of your audiences. God bless your parents for presenting you both, as you express so well sharing the joy of music in your talents (so varied) of your art. Bless the two of you certainly, and those you love. DJ in Knoxville TN
Hear,hear!
Wonderful, wish I was there!
Everything in this transcription makes me think Jonathan turned a masterpeace into a masterpeace !
I finally wised up and plugged in my In-ear headphones and watched on a hi-def laptop. At some point I believe people should find a great performance of the incredible Organ Symphony with full orchestra. They should then come back again to enjoy the sounds of the organ and Jonathan's transcription. The intricacies of hands and feet movement still blow my mind. Tom, your audio, video and any editing was spot-on.
Jonathan and Tom, thank you for sharing this whole beautiful performance and yes, blowing the doors off the place.
In our world today it was such a blessing to hear such beauty and perhaps even feel wonder again.
Thank you for a most rewarding listening experience 😊
Very very beautiful the best
BRILLIANT....ENOUGH SAID
Hallo,
Oh my i,ve listened to this for a thousand times!! So terribly good.
I wish you a good trip to Spain San Sebastian. It will be fantastic again! I know for sure!!!
With Love from the Netherlands ❤❤
Thank you Jonathan for a superb performance it's far better than the orchestral one because the organ shines in every movement. Thank you Tom for your wonderful live recording it gives many people so much pleasure. ❤
I too was at the Bridgewater and can truthfully say that hearing, and being able to see, Jonathan’s live performance was one of my most thrilling musical experiences ever (and I’ve been around for a long time!). It was fantastic in concert 27 from Ripon, and of course at the Prom, but this latest video was everything you both promised - and more. Unforgettable ❤
Wow, that was incredibly moving!! Your latest RUclips stats do not lie - this was a wonderful illustration of the sheer Quality of the Scott Brothers' work, both sound & vision! This is what keeps your viewers/subscribers coming back for more. Obviously, it brought back lots of memories for me of Jonathan's glorious Organ Prom at the RAH! Personally, I rate that performance of his transcription of Saint-Saens' 3rd Symphony as his greatest achievement. Well done both of you, this was a glorious video. Thank you both for giving us such a wonderful treat! Happy Anniversary Jonathan! xx
Thank you both for this online concert!
Heard it live. Will love to hear it again.
Incredible,masterful,wonderful.Wish I could have been there.
Absolutely a phenomenal performance of yet another of my favourite pieces of music. Well Done, Jonathan Slàinte Mhath🏴
¡Apoteósico!
¡Felicitaciones!
I came into this with wrapt curiosity and left in tears of wonder and joy. I don't know when I've been so moved. Surely by the brilliant writing of this majestic music, but even as surely by your arrangement and masterful and marvelous playing, Jonathan. I'm in awe. Thank you! And thank you, Tom, for your gorgeous video and audio recording. Bravo!
Thnx Thnx great compliments from Holland. You brougt me a beautiful evening. Thnx Thnx!!!
Just re-listened to this today, for the who-knows-how-many-eth time, and it still shatters me with how heartbreakingly beautiful it is. Bravo, Jonathan - again and again and again!
Amazing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thankyou!!!!!!!!!!
Think energetic concert... this one! Great Jonathan! I saw his legs reaching all octaves of the pedalboard. Incredible.
And the images of Tom that also accompany the dynamics of the music., Sensational. 🌪🎶🙌👍💐❤️🥰🙏🙋🏻♀️
Jonathan proved that it is possible to be "Great" and embrace the world in "Solo" and duet career, walking under "Pedal Organ", playing wonderful "Positive Organ" and "Swell" melodies. ❤️🫶🎶🥰🎼🎹🌏💫✨👍
At a complete loss for words- not for the first time, or the last! Saint-Saens gave his absolute all to this wonderful piece, Jonathan and Tom gave their absolute all to this magnificent performance- and then a great deal more besides! Moving beyond any words, and given so generously to share.
That was an absolutely incredible transcription and performance of one of my favourite symphonies. It was masterful in every way. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent with us. Bravo.
Wow! Stupendous! Thank you very much!
A standing ovation from this listener in Kildare.
I've only ever heard this piece played live once before, 1974 Auckland Town Hall organ with the Auckland Symphony Orchestra and Gillian Weir on the organ. I didn't really appreciate it [I was only 12] but have always liked the piece immensely. This was a performance worthy of great accolades from all, thank you for your dedication and hard work. I hope that one day you will visit Ireland and I can have the pleasure of listening to you play in person.
I can’t believe how well this guy can imitate a string pizzicato on the organ. It’s uncanny. Astonishing virtuosity.
It's amazing what a human being can do. I felt transported to a dimension where only music exists, and it's beautiful.
It was brilliant to be there in person at the concert and a real treat to see and hear it again. Tom’s videography really adds to the experience, too.
In my small opinion, I think that you are up there beside Edwin Lemaire as a master of Organ Transriptions!
Magnificent performance, Jonathan! Thank you for sharing this great concert piece with your fans! Best regards, Will Ortiz👋👋👋😃
I was speechless and very emotional! Everything was amazing: Jonathan's performance and Tom's video! Congratulations to you two! Many thanks to you two!
Absolutely amazing performance!
Thank you guy's for doing this for us. Beautiful music played so expertly and with such feeling. The brothers never fail to produce the best in both sound and video. James.
Absolutely brilliant!
Wow!!!! Just amazing. Loved being able to hear it, but also to see it. Without the video, I wouldn’t have seen the many angles Tom captured of the concert. Thank you both ❤️❤️👏👏👏
This is great and amazing...played by one....the only one who can do this..thanks Jonathan and warmest regards from Baarn,Holland
Truly amazing, to transcribe symphony 3 is unbelievable, truly astounding and fantastic sound, thank you...take care
A wonder full piece performed magnificently. Thanks Jonathan and Tom.
It will be wonderful as always! I've already started the countdown. Thank you both for this online concert!
Absolutely fantastic
Lovely 70th birthday present for me, thank you from Melbourne. ....ps give my kind regards to the Manc weather :)
Jonathan and Tom this was thrilling to watch. Thank you both for all the effort you go to for us subscribers to your amazing channel. From these comments you can tell how much you are loved and appreciated the world over. Finally to quote Julia Roberts in the film Pretty Woman: "...it was SO good I almost peed my pants!"
Wonderful. I have been waiting for this piece in this version. Nice new shoes too. My wife says she won't be able to recognise you any more. Mike in Oz
A wonderful realization of a spirited and evocative composition. That finale! Thanks to Jonathan and Tom, the Bridgewater hall, and the designers and consturctors of the organ. Bravissimo, tutti!
Wonderful performance! Thank you very much and happy anniversary
Brillante transposition de cette œuvre écrite initialement pour orchestre, avec une partie d'orgue et une petite partie de piano ! Saint-Saëns, ancien organiste à l'église de la Madeleine à Paris, aurait peut-être pensé à cette interprétation à l'orgue soliste ...
such brilliance !!! BRAVO......
You have done great justice to Saint-Saëns´ majestic Organ Symphony, even to the extent of wondering: "Does anyone in the public miss the orchestra?" . . . You also managed to equal Saint-Saëns´ own statement on his masterpiece: "I gave everything to it I was able to give." Finally, I believe you´ve reached the Mount Everest of what is possible to achieve on the one-man orchestra that is the organ . . . Un très grand CHAPEAU !!!
When Jonathan plays this, you don't miss the orchestra at all!
If ever proof was needed that the organ is the king of instruments then this is surely it ! To emulate a full size symphony orchestra with such authentic sounds it quite remarkable. Well done Jonathan !
Hallo!!
All I can say is what a excellent performance and filming!!
So GREAT Thank you very much B B.😊I like your cufflinks and red tie Jonathan beautiful.
With Love❤❤from the Netherlands.
Good evening , what a beautiful music 😊congratulations 😊
Absolutely fantastic Jonathan! So beautiful!😁👏👏👏
Great concert Jonathan and great filming, Tom. Thank you for sharing. Didn’t make it to see this last week but looking forward to the autumn concerts.
A truly masterpiece ! You are transcendent year after year by transposing such kind of music! I remember the first time I saw one of your videos, the Hungarian Rhapsody N°2, and I felt the same impression of immense virtuosity as today. Bravissimo for all !
Yet another brilliant transcription & performance, Jonathan, & great audio/visual from Tom as always. The Bridgewater Hall organ really allowed this superb work to be heard in all its magnificence. Thank you so much both of you! I heard Jonathan play this live with @BBCPhilharmonic orchestra at Hanley last year which was also superb. Great to have heard both versions from Jonathan. 😂
Magnifique... interprètation brillante 🙏 J'espère vous entendre un jour interpréter votre transcription sur le Cavaillé-Coll de l'église de La Madeleine à Paris où a joué Camille Saint Saens 🙂 Encore bravo et merci pour ce moment de grace 👏
I love it when you two post a new one. I can't wait to enjoy it. Thanks xx
Superbe composition, et excellente prestation ! Merci beaucoup pour ce spectacle magnifique !
Wonderful as always Jonathan! I am always in awe of your abilities. Give me a clarinet and put music in front of me and I’ll play it. But to transcribe something for organ and then play it with ten fingers and two feet is just a whole other level. Bravo! And Tom, thank you for another great video! Would love to see another duet soon!
Amazing !
Absolutely fabulous,thank you for posting.....
Absolute perfection……stunned.
Bravo 👏 . Beautiful transcription and your Organ is a complet Orchestra. ❤Greetings from Brasil 🇧🇷
Congratulations for your work
a masterful performance
Although I do not understand this music, hard work is appreciated due to the virtuosity of the execution and the great work of the transcription
Thanks as always for sharing!! ❤
SAINT-SAËNS the best, this channel is awesome
Nothing short of INCREDIBLE ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Grazie,maestro.
Masterful.
Grande Jonathan!!! Immenso!!!
Phenomenal, brillant! You leave me speechless 👏👏👏
Wonderful! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Good bye everyone! Have a nice evening! 🖖😀
Good bye Aswin 👋
sayonara mister.
Amazing. Thank you
Amazing…perhaps the finest solo musical performance I’ve ever heard, and I’ve been listening for a while.
Loved it, thanks to both of you. xx
Amazing transcription of the symphony, I am speechless, from now on I added it to my favorites music interpretations to listen frequently.

❤🎉❤THANK YOU
Absolutely brilliant. I would love to hear this played on the organ in the cathedral of
Santiago De Compostela, Spain.
Absolutely magnificent!
Bravissima!!!
Saint Saens is only too little interpreted on the organ, magnificent interpretation that I classify in the Romanticd, I am part of the association the Collegiades which brings together various organists from all countries coming to reproduce here.
What a taste of listening to a real orchestra
We do not know if you belong to the instrument or if it is you who leads it
I believe a fusion, a real osmosis between the two.
Gratitude for your immense talent! ❤❤🎹🎹🎹🎹🎶🎵🎶🎹🎹🎹🎹🎶🎵🎶🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎶🎵🎶🎵🎹🎹🎹🎹
