Certainly the best Spasi Gospodi (the piece of music being quoted at 1:36). That's where the organ really shines. The sections with canons have been done better because of real canons. It's a tradeoff, it's impossible to put an organ of this scale outside and very difficult to put canons inside (Nationwide Arena in Columbus Ohio is the only example I can think of, which certainly doesn't have an organ of this scale).
Truly amazing! I never knew Diane Bish conducts as well... This version of the 1812 is so wonderful! What a joy! I wish I could be the organist there... ;-)
Wonderful - all the guns blazing, flags waving, and in comes this guy with the monstrous organ! Five manuals, which means you need five hands to get round it... If that didn't take your mind of the war nothing would!
@@janr3488 As someone who is super anti-US, I just love how Americans think this is about their war of 1812, rather than the Napoleon-Russia war where the Russians trapped Napoleon in a burning Moscow. And I won't tell anyone not to use it, it's a great piece of music. And this recording is the best I've heard the Spasi Gospidi (the piece being quoted when the organ comes in) section.
Excelent work....This ouverture is a true masterpiece. I like very much this work. I thank to the good Lord, because exist composers like you Diane, who create same musical jewels. Congratulationes with all my heart and God bless you.
@RampGuy1 The organist in this video is Nicholas Bowden who was a pupil of Diane's. He has been Organist and Associate Director of Music at Peachtree Presbyterian Church in Atlanta, GA since 1996.

You are crying not me... no, but seriously, this is the sound of heaven, the sound of the second come of the Lord, the victory of good against evil, beauty against ugliness. I dont have enough words to express the sheer beauty of this...
@RampGuy1 No he isnt the current Organist at Coral Ridge. The current Senior Organist is Samuel Metzger. I do know that Diane Bish does play every now and then for services at Coral Ridge though.
that was most likelly a gunpowder shot, because the original 1812 overture was played by the sounds of CANNONS shooting in the air (shooting only powdergun, of course)
You guys outdid yourselves. WOW! But why not smile a little more. A little too serious. Do you realize how marvelous this performance really was? Listen and remember. Blessings. CVD
I have, back in 2004 when my family and I saw the Seattle Symphony Orchestra and guest conductor Erich Kunzel (rest in peace). The organ part I heard in the Seattle Symphony's performance of the 1812 Overture at Benaroya Hall is the same as the optional brass band parts.
@morpheus8705 Thank you for the update. I had no idea that this recording was 20 years ago. But now that you mentioned it, looking at some of the hairstyles, I can see that they are definitley 80's hairdos. I wish people would start including the dates on their videos. lol Once again, thank you.
@WBBugleBoy There are clanging bells in the original. It's not an arrangement. The only thing "abnormal" in the organist playing the off-stage band part.
Where can I get the sheet music for the arrangement this recording. I am a organist and orchestra conductor as well and would be thrilled to have my orchestra perform this piece!
I am surprised by many of the comments, here. Aside from some specific passages, the sound engineers have - as usual - managed to remove the organ altogether. If we didn't see the organist playing, we would not know it was there! Why do they do this? Even in the finale of the 'Organ Symphony' (Saint-Saens) the organ is routinely squashed.
You can tell she had a fun time. I was once visiting a musician friend in the SF Bay Area and he was playing with Annie Lennox at some big club, and they let me play, cool white stratocaster, cool amp, I was hot, I never had so much fun, but I have
There is an organ part in the original, as the theme is a proper Russian Orthodox hymn, a "kontakion". The slow and soft opening is correctly taken as organ and choir, but hardly ever performed that way. And the last refrain is "God Save the Czar".
I like the expressive style of conducting. I’m not sure you got the rhythm right on the Spassi Gospodi ( my favorite church hymn) part right, but good nevertheless.
Not many of us will ever get to hear this the way that it is perhaps most properly performed: The first thing usually missing is the double orchestra, and the second thing usually missing is a couple of the instruments: Actual church bells and actual howitzer battle cannons.
well played! can anyone say why it takes a war to write a classic piece, not only the 1812 others to. well done to the guy on tube bells. rendition of the harkness bells .
I'd like to see the Los Angeles Philharmonic try this piece with trumpets and arty from Marine Yard Camp Pendleton and Drx. Williams on the Austin organ, at Balboa Park, San Diego, CA, USA - open areas are needed for 105mm gun-howitzers and suitable saluting blanks.
My question is about the man at the organ. Is he the current organist at Coral Ridge? Or did he just come in for this concert? He is very talented as well.
Alvin McCranie NO! Most definitely not!! She is a first rate musician of the highest calibration, a brilliant performer on the organ but I think even she would not agree to an accolade of that magnitude. There are many before her, equally humble.
@bishfan looks like garret f martin, i think he is one of the current organists at Coral Ridge... hes a really talented guy, he even has his own yt channel... go check it out
Odd fact: Tchaikovsky really didn't like the 1812 at all. For him, it was just something bombastic and noisy he wrote on commission. In fact, it only took him about a month and a half to completely compose it.
I might've been in a hot tub with her in the early mid 1990s at the Steamboat Inn in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where there's a pirate ship playground outside, around Easter, and it might've even been before the movie Titanic was being filmed in Baja California where Hurricane Hilary recently made landfall with another atmospheric river deluge upon the Southwest. 🤔 I didn't know she was a legend.
Terrific. Though I always am curious about the US occupation with this piece. Imperial Russian defeat of imperial France-surely these are all negatives in the US psyche? France an old ally and supporter of US independence, Russia the old enemy? Wonderful performance!
It's because a lot of Americans don't have the mental capacity to realise this isn't an overture to their War of 1812 (my mother plays in an orchestra that does this for July 4th, I imagine I was the only one there thinking about "Napoleon vs Russia", and recognises wherehymns and folk songs were quoted. And being there almost strictly because I have always wanted to hear 1812 live in person). Still a great performance though for sure. Love the use of an organ to replace the military band.
The organ really suits this piece of music it is the best version of "1812 overture" that i have heard yet

Diane is a treasure. Forever this will be immortalised. High standards.
I remember watching her before the internet like on Sundays looking for something to watch on TV.
i just love when he starts to play the organ
its so magnificent, and glorius
1812 is a fovurite of mine but this version is probably the best.
From what I've been told, it was a shotgun shooting blanks into a trash can.
Truly amazing! I never knew Diane Bish conducts as well... This version of the 1812 is so wonderful! What a joy! I wish I could be the organist there... ;-)
0:38 I just love how you can see the cameraman flinch when the first cannon was shot.
I dont know that Thatcher was an orchestral director too
Wonderful - all the guns blazing, flags waving, and in comes this guy with the monstrous organ! Five manuals, which means you need five hands to get round it... If that didn't take your mind of the war nothing would!
This is the most aggressive organ part that I've seen thus far.
I Play this On the 4th July EVERY Year, On my 1,000 Watt Kenwood (16 🔊) while doing Fireworks. Neighbor's Love it
It’s not even an American song based on an American war….
So you're playing a russian song that's about the victory of the russians against the french on a US-American patriotic holiday?😂

I adore J.S.Bach most of all but the 1812 overture is one of the most magnificent music works I've come to know.
My god! She was wonderful!!! She was conductor too!!! I can't believe how amazing and great she was
Why "she was"? She's still alive....
Perfect for the 4th of July and perfect to bring in the New Year
MEGA SUPER SUPER BRAVICIMO THANKS BISH + CHORUS FROM MEXICO MORE MORE MORE!!!

Spine chill inducing!
Both of these statements are absolutely true!!!!

My favorite and you are amazing!
BEAUTIFUL.
i would do anything to get the full recording of this on spotify
I expected Ms. Bish to be playing organ bit good all the same
Probably it's too difficult... however Karl Ritcher sometimes did it.
if there was a 6 star, you deserve it. I rate this a 6 out of 5
Didn't think it was possible to make that tune any better and then there it is, with pipe organs. Nice!
brilliant. All that energy.

Bass trombone....
BRAVO ❗
Even with the organ and all of the other brass players i can hear you without any problem.
BRAVO MAN ❗
Timeless!!!
Which is the Postlude I am playing tomorrow after Great Gate of Kiev by Modest Mussorgsky
Just Amazing!!!!!
MARAVILHOSAMENTE BELA! BELÍSSIMA.
DEMOREI MAS ENCONTREI MINHA INTERPRETAÇÃO FAVORITA. 10!!!
colorful and outstanding
@bishfan He's in a few of the other videos also, there's one where Diane is playing the organ and he's on the piano. I forget what song it was.
@WBBugleBoy There are clanging bells in the original. It's not an arrangement. The only thing "abnormal" in the organist playing the off-stage band part.
I cried joy!
Need HD version of this performance!!
Where can I get the sheet music for the arrangement this recording. I am a organist and orchestra conductor as well and would be thrilled to have my orchestra perform this piece!
Search for tchaikovsky overture on RUclips you'll get a version with full sheets
looks like you can get a DVD of it at the joy of music website, it's called Masters of Music part 1

Why do they do this? Even in the finale of the 'Organ Symphony' (Saint-Saens) the organ is routinely squashed.
This guy also did an arrangement of Saint-Saens that based on the comments is widely considered the best on the internet.
I totally agree with your comment regarding the organ volume being diminished, especially egregious in most of the Saint-Saens organ symphony.
@up27a It's Nicholas Bowden. His name was listed earlier in the program.
The orchestra and pipe organ sounded awsome
I'm not exactly sure, but quite a bit about him can be found in Diane's Biography.
Impressive entry organ,.-
0:39 how did they make the sound of a cannon inside that building?

I don't see anything wrong with this version of Spassi Gospodi. In fact it's the best I've heard it played.
Magnificent! There's a reason it's called the 'King of Instruments.'
usspike I see it that way myself!!!!
Not many of us will ever get to hear this the way that it is perhaps most properly performed: The first thing usually missing is the double orchestra, and the second thing usually missing is a couple of the instruments: Actual church bells and actual howitzer battle cannons.

Whaaaat that's Nick Bowden on the organ?!?!
I LOVE those cannons
Great!

Organist is reading full score. Should be fairly easily done. Taste and balance are a must depending on the ensemble.
Chris Bowden used to be one of her students if I remember correctly.
My question is about the man at the organ. Is he the current organist at Coral Ridge? Or did he just come in for this concert? He is very talented as well.
I wish I could play the pipe organ as well as Diane Bish plays the pipe organ!
How do you keep the beat in this? For heaven sakes! It's like every instrument part is just like f-it! I'm gonna just play something!
Mrs. Diane should earn the title Mrs. Beethoven.
Alvin McCranie NO! Most definitely not!! She is a first rate musician of the highest calibration, a brilliant performer on the organ but I think even she would not agree to an accolade of that magnitude. There are many before her, equally humble.
I was shocked, the camera starts trembling/moving when the canon booms
Wow!!!

I say that was felt and recorded on quite a few Richter scales....pretty sure a 5.8!
Ausgezeichnet!!!!!
Einverstanden!
hermoso
This is the Postlude after Mass that has any Patriotic Hymn played.
who is the organist?
The audience is now deaf.
I "made brown" too, and skidded in for a landing at the same point...
this must be old if nicholas had hair!
Nicholas Bowden
I just wish the bells were played the way Tchaikovsky wrote them - see the 1880 score!
someone got shotgun trigger happy in the final parts of the piece.
Прелестно!!!
Sounds like the original to me.
I might've been in a hot tub with her in the early mid 1990s at the Steamboat Inn in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where there's a pirate ship playground outside, around Easter, and it might've even been before the movie Titanic was being filmed in Baja California where Hurricane Hilary recently made landfall with another atmospheric river deluge upon the Southwest. 🤔 I didn't know she was a legend.
@bishfan if only i could get a better shot of his face, i mightve known it was bowden
It's like it's not loud enough 🤔
