What a huge treat. Richard you spoil us. How on earth did we manage before Beauty in Sound.

We're spoiled not only by the amazing playing on here but by the sheer number of wonderful instruments available to us in the UK. Personally I really don't think anything beats the versatility and sound of a Willis, Hill or Harrison behemoth. Jack of all trades and master too. Much as I admire the music played on the instruments it was composed for, if I had to choose only one style of organ it would have to be one of these. At the moment Truro is doing it for me.

⁠@@neilanyon4792 As a Yank I’m obviously not in a position to be familiar enough, but from the exposure I have had, I’d agree all three are impeccable! But at the end of the day, if I had to go with only one I’d have to choose Harrison. It’s like they took the magnificence of Willis and just expanded it with a touch more polished brilliance. Then Richard introduced me to Dudelange and I think I’m smitten beyond words.

What a truly great selection and beautifully played. As an 84 year old retired organist, a number of these were my personal favourites bring back many fond memories. Thank you so much, bravo and a superb performance.

And devotion to GOD...Richard, these concerts are a gift back to the Divine as well as to all us humans! THANK YOU!🤗👏

The Widor Taccata No. 5 is my most favorate piece of organ music, Thank you

Bravo. A superb organ album. Wonderful performances.

Cirencester is a real gem, similar to St Mary's Redcliffe. Saw Dame Gillian at a recital here. Abruptly stopped during the first piece when a heel fell off one of her glittery shoes. A quick change later and she played an amazing performance. 👏 Guilmant's Pastoral reminds me of Steptoe and Son as was in an episode at a wedding, which is where I first heard it. Thanks for another amazing recital Richard 👏👏👏

My Fave, Widors Toccata, and I love that the Gentleman Playing it, playing the Pedals with his Stocking Feet..When I Played, I always had Stocking Feet, to Feel the Pedals Better, but was Always told You had to wear Shoes to play the Pedals..LOL!

My aunt played church organ 40 years. Her shoes were always on the floor beside the bench, never on the pedals. Two organists at the last church I attended also did not wear shoes. Shoes made a clunking sound on the pedals. Sock or bare feet are silent.

What a great organ sound I love beautiful organ music

Thank you Richard. A night for the "Richard's " to shine. Hope your concert went well. Blessings

Winchester did it for me wonderful. Enjoy hearing all these performances again.

Our organ at home was but a toothpick compared to these beautiful and majestic instruments! Guess I found my channels as my Dad used to lull us girls to sleep playing the organ. Thank you! ❤️🎶🙏🤲

I loved the clown sox for the second one. Quite unexpected.

I keep coming back nearly every day to listen to Richard's various works - all are top notch - the best organ performances, hands down, on the interwebs today. And he wears the best socks!

I thank you, Richard, for your most excellent contribution to my life in recent months. ♥️ For many years, I delayed finding what you offer here; primarily because those who I asked seemed to think that pointing me toward KZread and google was a sufficient answer to my questions. Then you arrived on my iPhone through KZread, presumably because I have quite a few videos saved of my favorite song _A Mighty Fortress Is Our God,_ and I have a few other related hymns. But none were of your fine quality. I praise The LORD GOD ALMIGHTY for His wondrous creation. _Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture…_ _For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations._ Psalm 100: 3,5

Wonderful choices that displayed each organ perfectly. Watching and listening confirmed why I dropped studying organ to piano & voice …LOL…my short legs would have never managed it without my falling head first into the second manual….love the socks!😅

All beyond brilliant and thoroughly enjoyable in my opinion. I particularly enjoyed the Duruflé with Caroline - beautiful voice - but I very much enjoyed all the other pieces too.

Thank you @Richard McVeigh for a great variety of super performances in beautiful places. Great playing, singing and filming too!

Thank You Very Much, dear Richard!❤️👌🙏

Absolutely outstanding, such a breath of fresh air on a Sunday morning. I also never tire of hearing Caroline sing, it won't be long before Hugo (already a BIS star) will be joining in, he is already playing drums in the background we hear at HQ. Please keep doing concerts like this, I for one will always listen.

You never run out of outstanding ways to creatively carry out your mission of magnifying beauty through the sounds of organ music and once again, we who benefit humbly and gratefully thank you with much enthusiasm! Your work keeps making the world a better place.

This is an incredible album. These organs are captured in amazing quality, and the performances are all top shelf. The musical selections are perfect for an album too. A new definitive guide to English (and one French 🤪) organs had appeared. Bravo!!!

Just this morning, I sent a friend a photo of me at the console of Winchester Cathedral. Then, by coincidence, I was watching and listening to this wonderful collection which included Richard at the console of Winchester Cathedral!

Thank you Richard -This is Superb. The program of music. The organs and organists. The quality of filming, and sound recording. It is a fine example of the sort of work which you'd find glowing reviews about from an art critic in a quality music magazine, or you'd listen to it showcased in a Radio3 lunchtime concert. I seriously think that EMI need to be looking over their shoulders. BIS are snapping at their heels and coming to get them. And the added bonus of Caroline. Beautifully sung Veni Creator with the 'birthday boy' too. What a treat.

Such beautiful playing and such beautiful organs. It would be nice if you could include a shot of each of the outside of the churches and their sanctuaries as well. The pink socks look swell too.

It’s great to see someone else who pedals in socks. I cannot abide organ shoes; I feel such a disconnect with them. Bravo, maestro!

Pipe organs are absolutely fasinating! Each one completely individual, with its own sound and personality.

Magnificent as always Richard, thank you so very much for your (s, and Caroline's and others') music, along with showcasing these beautiful instruments!

Thankyou so much. I appreciate your namimg the pieces and the Composers. Although I know of them, just didnt quite know most of the Titles etc. Cheers, John .It lifted me to happy state.

Great playing (as always) and thanks especially for the Guilmant, a composer who has rather gone out of fashion over the years but who is well worth reviving and promoting

Beautiful video, Richard. What a lovely variety of music and ecclesiastical archictecture coupled with fascinating instruments. Bravo!

Absolutely brilliant

Fantastic to hear all these performances again and to have them now in one album. It is only when you look back at these that you can see the great achievements of the last year in BiS. Well done, Richard, and thank you.

What a great program and what a variety of instruments. Already looking forward to more!

I love the organ pipe works and building tours while playing. I enjoyed the stop listing and usage on the one piece, as well. Very nice tour of some of the organs available.

Enjoyed that very much..From Southern Calfornia thank you...R

I know this has been up for a while, but I just now got the chance to listen to it. And I truly needed it today. God never fails to speak thru you to me in the language that you and I both speak from out hearts, hands, and feet, and just when I need it most. Thank you dear Richard. And also our precious, angelic Caroline.

Wonderful broadcast. And nice without all that talk in between. I love that.

Magnificent as always!

Amazing sounds especially through Bluetooth on my sound system on my narrowboat.

Bravo!!! Very enjoyable. Thank you, Richard and Caroline…and others!

lovely stuff!

A wonderful recital. Thank you!

What Stunning Piece Being both a Huge Fan of Classical Music and Architecture.

Thank you for the Widor Taccata. My favourite 👏👏👏👏. And the Swan, sublime.

Wonderful ,the beautiful sounds coming out of those organs.

Thank you very much Richard for a wonderful evening’s entertainment. Wonderful, brilliant playing. Trevor & Jan in Canewdon, Essex🐈🐈‍⬛🌻🌻👏

Thank you Richard and Caroline. This music is sublime!

Thank you to you,and your wonderful lady.This made my heart and soul sing out Hallelujah in harmony.

1:02:58 Le Cygne - that has to be the best tremumlant I've heard on an organ. Gentle, medium speed, and not too deep. The solo combo is gorgeous too (Hautbois and Diapason)? 1:13:01 - Excellent Vox Humana, a voice that is so often done badly that it is rarely heard. The final movement of the Guilmant is fantastic. The contrast when the registration is drawn down and then manual change to the Choir/Postive is really telling. Likewise the triumphal fanfare at the end on the Tuba. Cirencester has a fine instrument, and you're playing is thrilling.

This has been a lovely, enjoyable interlude. Love the video; the music, the glimpses of organs, and the concert venues. I also really enjoy your fun socks. :)

Ought to play these on the Wanamaker organ in Philadelphia, PA, USA!

Outstanding

Cool sox. I gotta get me some. I like the little Owl Sox. 🦉 Great music!

What an amazing compilation of performances on these magnificent works of art. Thank you for sharing your incredible talent and knowledge.

Gigout's toccata was on one of my very first ever bought organ music LP's of my teenage years. What a brought-back to my past! Love organ mu. I wish more Australians saw it as music in its own right rather than part of a boring church ritual.

Widor - so that's what I just heard after Mass. Magnificent! Thank you for this! Happy Easter 2023! 🙏🏻😊

Marvellous architecture of Gothic vaults of the Gloucester! And Bach's music is just equally marvellous! Very fine performance too. Thank you. What a delight! It's a fantastic idea to collect different organs into a single presentation. ❤️

Some of my favourites in their; others I'm not so keen on, but the way they were played here, I could easily change my mind! Thanks for posting. Lovely

What a marvellous set of pieces! (And some new to me after a lifetime of listening to organ recitals) The Dupré is superb, but looks incredibly fierce! And I utterly loved Jonathan Hope's performance of the Bach Should you do a second volume, could we maybe see some Messiaen represented as well? Perhaps Transport de Joie, or Dieu Parmi Nous?

56:03 천사의 음성과 예쁜아기 오르간 소리가 넘 조화롭고 멋지네요^^ It's the coolest song I've ever heard 'Vent Creater'

All of these are excellent examples of these pieces, I particularly enjoyed the two Saint-Saens pieces, and your rendition of Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor is one of the best I've ever heard. Fantastic use of dynamics and tone.

"" Fantastic. ❤️🙌

This music is so healing, thank you....

I love the family getting into the act!

Fabulous

Bravo!!! This video has it all: 2 of the most exciting pieces ever composed for the organ (Wider - ‘Toccata’ Sym 5 & Bach - Toccata n Fugue in D), heavenly cathedrals, & a true virtuoso!!! A tour up to the organ loft is the icing on the cake!!! I’m so glad to have found this channel!!! ❤

And you are a marvelous organist...!! Thank for this concert.. It was fantastic.. Love listening to your musik...!!! Greetings from Europe.. 🙋‍♀️

A beautiful selection, thank you! My dream is that someone can one day bring Daria Burlak to the UK. Her transcription of Rimsky-Korsakov's Russian Easter Festival Overture is the most sublime piece I've ever heard... it's on KZread, she was playing The Bales Organ Recital Hall Hellmuth Wolff, op. 40 in Kansas, though she now lives in Fröndenberg.
