"The Show Must Go On" - Organist Xaver Varnus pays tribute to Freddie Mercury. Filmed live by Mate Vargha on the official 55th Birthday Concert of Xaver Varnus on May 5, 2019 in the Church of St. Ladislaus in Budapest-Kőbánya. Special thanks to Mayor Robert Antal D. Kovacs, Town Clerk Dr. Krisztián Szabó, Rev. Attila Balogh and Mr. András Benedek, Director of the Music.
Born in Budapest, his first piano teacher was Emma Németh, one of the last pupils of Claude Debussy. Xaver Varnus has played virtually every important organ in the world, including those in Bach's Thomaskirche in Leipzig (2014), Berliner Dom (2013), Notre-Dame (1981), Saint-Sulpice (2006) and Saint-Eustache (1996) in Paris, National Shrine in Washington, D.C. (1985), and Canterbury Cathedral (2004), as well as the largest existing instrument in the world, the Wanamaker Organ in Philadelphia (1985). His Quadruple Platinum Disc winning album From Ravel to Vangelis, released by Sony BMG in 2007, is the best-selling organ CD ever. As a Canadian citizen, Xaver Varnus resides in Berlin, Germany. "Put simply, Varnus is a monster talent, every bit as stimulating and individual as the late Glenn Gould" (The Globe & Mail, Canada's National Newspaper).

I don't know if you are Rammstein fan, but try this one. It is Rammstein - Ohne dich on organ kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZYCqlM2ocdO0hKw.html that is something!

本物のパイプオルガンで「show must go on」 こんな動画があったなんて。 なんて荘厳なんだろう！ 元々クラッシックが好きだったフレディの鎮魂歌にぴったり。 この曲は感情移入し過ぎてつい泣けてくるんだけど、これから何度も見に来ちゃうだろうなぁ。 出逢えたことに感謝を。
When genius meets genius the world becomes a different place. Wow! These two geniuses made the world a paradise!

That's how glory of God sounds like.
A rare sight, a master-class musician playing this tribute /and overall awesome song/ and leaving his own ego and style out of it. Just does what the song/music/lyrics requires of him. Pure talent. I feel like I should be paying to hear and watch something like this, how privileged we really are.

Oh..oh my god. Is this reality. Someone did a cover of my favorite Queen song on my favorite instrument!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EEEEE YESSSS!!!
This is as legendary as the track itself. Hats off.
It is called the 'King of instruments' for a reason. Fantastic rendition!
Xaver should perform this, with the other Queen members, and Marc Martel doing the vocals. That would be so epic.
I've no idea how or why KZread recommended this to me, but I'm so glad it did. Breathtaking!
Absolutely unbelievably beautiful and amazingly taking by your soul performance 💗💗💗!!! As Freddie Murphy and Xavier are performing together!!! Absolutely Brilliant!!!
Браво!!! Стаккато баса и гармония унесли меня в другую реальность! Это шедевр! Спасибо!!!
Just beautiful! What a wonderful tribute to Freddie!

@@christelchristely2816 The great organ did survive the fire- it's just a bit dusty, only 1 of the 7,866 pipes was damaged by water, they're beginning the restoration of the organ ready for its reopening hopefully in 2024. However, the smaller choir organ by Merklin/Boisseau was flooded and will need to be rebuilt.

Organ players start out really young, I've heard as young as 5 in some cases

@@themanformerlyknownascomme777 Usually the professionals start piano lessons at that age, as 5 year olds generally can’t reach the pedals! Also, it does help to have a good piano background which most professionals do have, but if you want to start playing without it, it’s still entirely possible. Some professionals even wait until much later on when they’ve been a pianist for many years- for example Messiaen started when he was already studying at the Conservatoire de Paris, and he made extremely fast progress.
This is my favourite organ piece and has reduced me to tears in the past. I have an absolutely awesome audio system ( having been in the trade) and this piece makes the floor shake. Brilliant piece.

Excellent Performance
These are three stunning pieces of art: The composition, the performance --- and Freddie's generosity to give away his music for free. These are the footprints I decided to walk in.
Великолепно! Замирало дыхание и мурашки по телу. меня радует, что сильные органисты играют такую музыку.
The show must go on and who wants to live forever. Queen and Xaver.
No...frigging...way. Please...PLEASE tell me that the surviving members of Queen have heard this. This is fantastic.
The Organ... Doubtless... the Queen of all instuments.
I'm back once again. Absolutely love this. One thing I notice at the end, xaver shrugs his shoulders as if to say "that's the best I could do" that in my opinion is the look of a truly humble artist! You sir are a legend!!
Just excellent. The power of Freddie's voice and soul comes through in the performance.
Amazing!! I didn’t want the song to end.
Fantastique ! Here we realize how well Freddie's music holds up! This guy was a genious.
goosebumps much.... can't imagine what these lucky people witnessed, my headphones don't do it justice
Danke Xaver. 💐🎹
The passion on Xavers face at 3:36 or so says it all. Sublime artist.
I guess you know, you are a genius, Maestro. "Compliments" is just a so reductive word in recognition of your execution. You extracted the most ascetic component from Freddy Mercury job, and sacred it. The impossible, Well done.
Kompromisslos Gut !!! Der absolute Wahnsinn.... 😍😍😍
