- I am very proud to welcome @AnnaLapwoodOrgan to give the latest BIS Organ Recital on the BIS Organ!
Anna has a very distinguished career. She is Director of Music at Pembroke College, Cambridge having previously been Organ Scholar at Magdalen College Oxford, the first female in the college’s 560-year history to be awarded the Scholarship. In 2022 she was appointed Associate Artist of the Royal Albert Hall and Artist in Association with the BBC Singers.
After Anna has finished playing, we have a fun chat about (mostly) organ-related matters.

Making money is not my primary objective. After expenses are taken into consideration, remaining revenue is invested back into BEAUTY IN SOUND. Audio and visual equipment is expensive, and I also pay a fair fee to all recitalists who appear on BIS. This is why I regularly ask YOU to help, and I’m sorry for having to do so. I hope that you can all see the tangible improvements being made to BIS along our shared journey.

What a gift to the world this woman is. I so appreciate all the year and years of dedication and practice it takes to perform at this level. Amazing. Brilliant. ❤❤
This smile is priceless!!!
I’m constantly awed by this woman’s amazing talent.
Me too. And not a bad looking bird either!
Me too
@@bengunn99 🙄 reported
Me too. She's amazing.
No, you are just in love with her 🤣
Anna’s exceptional playing is impressive enough on its own; her positivity and incredible outreach efforts elevate her to Hero status. Long may you both play on!
You can tell she is a very articulate person. She just lights up the area around her. A very special lady indeed...
I am a very big fan of organmusic, and from now I am a big fan of Anna. She has just an increadible talent and I had tears in my eyes watching and listening to her. I would love to hear her playing live. Hopefull she is coming to Germany once or I have to go to London. Thank you Anna
I love Anna's playing. She is a world-class organist. Her mastery of this magnificent organ is overwhelming, God bless and keep Anna safe, well, and happy.
What a beaitiful talented young women.
You two are so much fun and your music is spectacular, especially extending beyond just the traditional classical, which I do have a lot of respect for and enjoy. To me it is just a natural expansion of what has come before. And so I say to Anna, from the words of a song of a group that I have long listened to, "Let us put men and women together
See which one is smarter
Some say men, but I say no
Women run the men like a puppet show"
And to Richard, thank you for not only sharing your musical gifts but having the respect for, and recognizing those of others! And so I say thank you, and well done both of you!
It’s amazing to see a young lady who is so accomplished on the organ. It is good to see a woman in what has been mostly a men’s territory over the years. Simply wonderful.
What a gift Anna is to the world of music.
Anna Lapwood is an incredibly talented artist and ambassador 🎉. Brava!!!
I agree👍👍👏👏
What could the organ world do to inspire younger players Richard asked. Anna Lapwood is the only answer you need.
I find it extraordinary that anyone can learn to play such a complex instrument, much less play it so beautifully!
I am now 62, and in the intervening years I have heard the Franck no 3 played hundreds of times, both in recital and on record. The registrations and Anna's playing bought tears to a pair of old eyes, and thats a first. Well played Anna Lapwood
So good to hear Anna, whom I only heard today playing so confidently on a organ.I have followed organists all of my 75 yrs. Practically, owing to have been growing up, with a brilliant brother, who happened to become quite an organist all over the place!YOU have made my day, Anna.Thankyou for your wonderful musical skills.
Non musical person here... this is the second time I've heard "registration" mentioned! What is that?
@@woodywoodman2319 the name for the selection of organ stops used in a piece... from a non organist
@@peterallison5021 Oh okay... like the buttons they can push that selects a bunch of different stops at once!?
peter allison I watched her overview of the organ... I had No Idea just how Complex it is! It's literally like computer and machine and instrument!
Purdy darn cool!!!
This is a magnificent example of what that funny rear part of the brain does so well, the cerebellum. Placing her feet on the correct pedal key, let alone pushing the preset stop button!, is all cerebellar - Anna doesn't have to think where her feet (or hands) are, her cerebellum and all the position feedback systems we have in our bodies, tells her exactly - the cortex just has to give the command. This takes time and lots of learning to achieve - no different to skiing, gymnastics, guitar playing , riding a bike or other activities we do. But we forget this wonderful part of our brain. Anyway she's a wonderful exemplar.
Such a talented and kind lady. It's a real pleasure to listen to her playing and talking.
I am not a big fan of organ music, but I thought I'd listen for just a short bit to hear the instrument and see what you might do with it. I was so blown away by this performance that I had to listen to the entire recital. I very rarely do that, especially when I'm listening from my phone because the sound is so poor. But in this case, I couldn't help myself. I was memorized by every note.
Very stylish and fabulous recital ! Anna Lapwood is a talented organist recently seen at the Royal Albert Hall with a pop group. The fact they have just made her one of the custodians to the Organ there testifies to her popularity.
Absolutely amazing. I have played the organ since I was 11, 60 yrs ago and loved every moment. Anna I have never see a performance where performer organ and music were so entwined in each other. You enjoy it so much! Keep going for what you believe in! God bless you. Thankyou Richard for putting on this performance and for all you give!
Anna Lapwood's organ recital was breathtaking, and the interview provided such insightful context into her approach and connection to the music. Truly a treat for both the ears and the mind!
Incredible music, incredible technique. Absolutely wonderful.
One of the greatest gifts in life is when one's profession is also one's passion.
Fabulous performance Anna, from a member in the choir at Christ Church Alexandria. Have been in choirs for 74 years, and am still learning.
Anna Lapwood's playing is exquisite -- it makes me tear-up listening to her play
Brava! I completely enjoyed this recital. The delightful manner in which Anna Lapwood chatted with Mr. Veigh after the recital was even more of a good thing. She is an exceptional person!
I just love Anna. Her playing is a masterclass and her role as choir master is so encouraging. The young and old around her must feel so privileged. ❤💯
I see a new beginning. This gig with Anna Lapwood and Bonobo will lead to Anna and Bonobo (or others) starting a new genre. This duo was intense.
What an amazing performance from a very talented lady. Well done, wonderful to listen to great music played so well.
Dear Anna, it was so good of you to play with Richard McVeigh at "Beauty in Sound".
We are honestly honored. I hope that you survived peeking out from the cushions with the cats. Thank you so much for this sincerely excellent and educational inspiring recital. I guess everyone says that.
Thank you Anna, especially for the Bach!
What a SPECTACULAR recital. Amazing music, amazing musicianship, a feast for the eyes and ears!!! THANK YOU!! 🥰
27 years-old! Just the drive and dedication she has is incredible to watch, let alone the exceptional talent. Outwith the little sleep she seems to get, I can't imagine her having 5 minutes 'off' anytime.
I have only recently discovered Anna Lapwood, though having been a pipe organ fan since early childhood, and knowing one or two organists along the decades. I have become quite the fan 😊 and in fact just ran across ‘your RCO Exam’ which was fascinating, in fact. I am not a musician, rathe just one who appreciates music. I am so very pleased to see the wonderful things you are doing! Like so many, I would give a lot to have been there for the Bonobo concert!
RUclips you are a genius and with so much energy, even to turn the page is gracious
Particularly enjoyed the Britten pieces. The organ is a versatile instrument and they showed it off. Wonderful performance by an incredible musician.
I'm not sure I want to admit how often I play the music part of this recital. Anna plays with wonderful passion from the heart and it will grab yours. She, the music, and organ, are all magnificent, as is the recording quality. Thank you for the listening joy, uh bliss. Please record and offer more..
Truly the very best video presentation of an organist's performance! The picture in picture is very inventive and much appreciated! However the most amazing content of this video is the beautiful and most talented organist.
Anna Lapwood is one of my organist models so it is brilliant that she is doing a concert in your magnificent organ!!!! Looking forward to it 🥳🥳🥳!!!!!
Richard, you need to invite Anna back for another recital! So talented and funny!
I always enjoy BIS and watch as much as I can. Thank you very much for putting this program on.
-John. Grand Rapids Michigan USA.
Anna Lapwod plays the organ in a most magnificent fashion. Her playing can and will be enjoyed by all of every age and interest.
I am a new follower of yours, Anna. I am a 65 y/o church organist of some 50 years in the US. I have wondered for years how best to encourage new/young musicians wanting to learn the organ. Thank you for making it relevant & interesting & a great way to showcase the organ & what it is capable of in many settings.
I never get tired of this, it flows it bubbles and the space becomes attractive. So young and warm???---*
Anna you are such a fantastic organist. I love listening to you play. 🎹🎼
Beautiful way to finish my Sunday evening. Watching you is a real treat.
I had to listen to this again! Both Anna and the BIS organ are well matched brilliance and better than on some other organs! I’d love to hear her on the BIS instrument again!👍🎶
“Please leave a positive comment” Are you kidding? That was amazing! Anna is such an expressive player, which isn’t easy on the organ, of course. Hard to believe the organs played weren’t ‘real’. What a setup you have there. Hauptwerk setup of my dreams. Thank you for your service, Richard.
We need role models like this to get more women involved in the organ world! Brilliant! 🎶
There are and have been many fine female organists although not quite as many as there are men. Somewhere between 40-50% if you look at the gender statistics.
@@lordenoch0 Not if you look at the normal rosters of artist promoters and convention gatherings…
@@OrganGuyPhil Then you are speaking of elite-level organists. When you said the "organ world" I was thinking of organists in general.
@@OrganGuyPhil Marie Claire
Jane Parker Smith. RIP 🙏
Wonderful recital @Anna Lapwood, it was a treat to hear some well known and unknown pieces, all played in a most refreshing and expressive manner.
Beautiful colours, superb registrations. Lovely Anna. Thank You 😊
This recital was magnificent 🎶. Thank you to BIS for having Anna, and thank you to Anna for sharing her talent with the BIS community.
Two passionate and gifted people talking together, that gives confidence again in humankind. I just discovered Anna Lapwood and she radiates the joy of playing, such an inspiring person. The Britten is absolutely great, unbelievable taste for transcription. Gregoriana pieces were just stunning. Thanks both of you for sharing your talent.
Thanks!
Craig - thank you SO much, this is massively kind of you and is really appreciated :)
Loved Britten on the organ, thank you @Anna!
Your amazing talent, passion & hard work shows and is very appreciated. Thank you Miss Anna
I'm a retired clarinetist for the US Army bands of 25 years. Today, I personally enjoy playing swing/jazz on clarinet and playing country/rock/gospel sax but I was 'raised' on classical clarinet (Bach is a B*** to play in a quartet or ww quintet). Having experienced classical music, I know and greatly appreciate what you do and understand the work you had to put in to achieve this level! Years ago as a young Lowrey organ dealer, I was introduced to pipe organ music played by E. Power Biggs. Re-introduced to it from the "Joy of Music" series by the "First Lady of the Organ", Diane Bish. Wow, I'd never heard a pipe organ handled like she did ie, from powerful roaring pipes (Widor's Toccata) to barely a whisper ( Mendolssohn's Nocturne), I enjoy listening to Ms. Bish's old Joy of Music programs on RUclips. SO, while scrolling on RUclips looking for more, I stumbled (as you said here) upon You! I now listen to every video by you or Ms. Bish wherever I can find them. I LOVE this music! The music you've played on this particular recital featured here absolutely blew me away!! I listened as you made a mighty pipe organ angrily bark and roar, then suddenly whisper, seemingly popping "butterflies" out of the pipes above you from ranks up in a back room somewhere with the rest of the pipes--within the same piece! Unbelievable! Your original compositions played here are fantastic. Sitting here alone in front of my computer listening to your recital here, I just wanted to jump to my feet and applaud you, but, well, instead I just slumped back, saying "wow, just wow!". I would love to see more families come back to God and back to church where they and their children especially can experience and be inspired this magnificent instrument--but, like you say, social media will catch young students faster unfortunately, but surely. May God continue to bless you on your musical journey and keep on inspiring young people and playing for us all!!
What a great personality she has.
Bravo from America!
First time I've heard of this woman and I'm blown away by her talent and beautiful touch on the keyboards. Sheer beauty!!
I LOVE her registration in the first piece, the Bach Prelude and Fugue in A minor. It's so majestic and glorious!!!
Such an Amazing lady 😮
WHAT a wonderful concert and I'm not gonna lie: It actually makes a huge deal to get that interview with the performer after the concert because there are so much thoughts, insights and comments which provides a even deeper understanding of the musical choices being made as to the recital.
Richard! You do an excellent work of bringing organ music out to the world! Thank you!
Totally agree. Excellent comment 👍
totally agree, the interview is the cherry on the cake!
She is very talented and accomplished! It sometimes makes me want to cry when I see the talent and dexterity possessed by the organists featured on this channel. I’ve play/played organ/piano, but have never attained anywhere near the level of you, Richard, our tour guests. Thank you for the artistry you all display!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Superb, Wonderful!!! A Great Show..!💝. Nice to see another great Player..❣️🤗💕
I come here and listen to "Dawn" every single day.
A wonderful recital, it is always good to hear music you haven't heard before. Anna is a wonderful organist, an amazing talent and I hope will be a role model in particular for young people to get involved in the organ and church music. She is certainly inspiring.
Impressive recital! How talented she is!
Thank you Anna for a wonderful Organ recital! Thank you Richard for putting this together!! It's amazing to learn from you all!! 😁
Thank you, Anna, for your very interesting and lovely interpretation of the Frank. I also played it on my senior recital back in 1958. Haven't played to whole thing at one time since but occasionally play parts of it for voluntaries in various places throughout my very long career. I'll be 85 in another couple of days and blessedly still active as organist in my home church. Cutting back to only one service per Sunday. I really enjoy listening to all the wonderful organists on RUclips. Thanks again.
This video has combined the UK's two greatest advocates (IMHO) of organs and organ music. What a treat. Fantastic playing by Anna and excellent production from Richard. Many thanks to you both.
Excellent recital - thank you! I liked all the pieces, too, which is not always the case.
What an attractive, talented and confident young lady. I think I am in love - and at least forty years too old!
Anna is the greatest artist to come out of the British isles since Alfred Hitchcock.
Great performer! Great recital! I'd love to hear more of her performances.
What a brilliant performance by Anna Lapwood on the organ, magnificently played. You have tremendous talent I applauded you after every piece you've played. Richard thank you for allowing Anna to give such a Great performance. Well Done
Beautiful musicianship and fabulous pedal work. They dance
The best rendition of BWV 543 I've ever heard. I kid thee not.
Absolutely perfect. I can’t imagine a better video. And to hear my beloved a minor played so well. What a treat!
Absolutely phenominal! Brava, Anna!
What an amazing feeling of tactus and the perfect tempo for that A minor prelude & fugue of Bach, yet enough freedom and musicality throughout the performance that exposes the expressiveness and sheer talent. The fugue is quite hard in that the theme, which is quite excentric and virtuoso, remains unchanged in the pedal. Finally, such an organic posture whilst doing all of the handling manually without assistance (playing, turning pages, registration) is nothing short of amazing. Congratulations, and thanks for this wonderful recital 😇
Absolutely agree. Masterful playing!
Outstanding - she‘s got herself another follower 😊
A truly inspirational recital and performer.
What a delightful recital AND post-recital interview!!! Anna’s recital was bookended by two of my favorite works (mainly because they are two of up and coming grandson Andy’s best performed works-although I will say that Andy has much to learn from Anna!!).
Marvelous program. Absolutely loved hearing the new works from Gregoriana especially. Wonderfully fresh, beautiful, and useful pieces. Anna is an inspiration!
Superb, lovely performance. Thanks for having Anna on your channel, Richard. I keep watching and listening! Encore! Encore! :-)
Glad to hear Anna at BIS. Thks Richard for inviting her & the interview was very interesting.
Richard, I am missing the date of each video these days. Thank you for introducing Anna Lapwood to those of us far and near. What a delightful program, in food terms each morsel was most "delicious!" How wonderful to call Anna a friend. Anna we are grateful for your participation with Richard's RUclips channel!! This is a great understatement. Bless you all.
This was SUCH a treat! I've been looking forward to this ever since it was on the schedule, and it exceeded my already high expectations. Anna, you are such a positive role model for musicians, young people, and women too! Thank you for joining us at BiS and for sharing your talent and joy. Delightful and entertaining. 😊
Wonderful recital . It brought back memories of learning both the Bach A minor and the Franck when I was an organ student at the RNCM in the 1970s (one of only 3 girls out of 15 organ students. Alas, the Hradetzky organ sits silent most of the time now as they no longer offer organ as a principal study). Both Richard and Anna are wonderful ambassadors for organ music. Thank you !
I’m very saddened to hear they no longer offer principal study organ at the RNCM. I was there from 78-82 - happy days!
An organ sitting silent most of the time is very sad to hear.
WOW! That was phenomenal. Absolutely brilliant Anna. Thank you for your music, and thank you Richard for inviting Anna to play the BiS organ. I have enjoyed every moment of this recital.
Looking forward to this recital VERY much!
Lovely recital. Excellent selection of works and played so wonderfully. Thank you Anna.
Loved the recital. I was particularly taken with the Britten pieces, but the whole selection was excellently played and very enjoyable.
Loved the funny bloopers at the end, too.
I've been to organ recitals but the feeling you get to see graceful and deliberate fingers and feet apply the craft of Anna Lapwood close up like this is indescribable. I thought I'd watch for a few minutes, but couldn't turn away. Not only is the performance great, but the videography is well done also.
Merveilleuse interprétation par une magnifique artiste. Cette oeuvre de JS Bach est rarement lisible dans l'interprétation qui en est donnée. Celle-ci est sublime. Merci beaucoup.
Very nice love it l wish I could play the organ sitting in any church and listening to music like this just makes me feel so calm and relaxed 😊
A Gorgeous Asset to a Growing Community, Always Changing, Full of the Composure of Life's Dimensions, A Natural at her Best. Happy New Year from New Zealand, in 54 minutes.........All the Love.......
Anna has the unique ability to draw me into her playing, she is a wonderful ambassador for the organ. I hope we hear her in person in New Zealand at some stage. We have a wonderful array of organs in Dunedin.
It was very lovely! Thanks so much, from Florida!
Thank you so much for such a beautiful recital. The Bach was a really thrilling performance. I hope Anna will find more pieces to transcribe in the future, she obviously has a great talent for it.
A significant mind and spirit, with deep emotional underpinnings, a genius. Thank you for perfecting your skill and sharing it, God bless you
