Eric Coates - Dambusters' March - Kevin Bowyer, Holbrook
Tonight (16th-17th May) is the 70th anniversary of the audacious Operation Chastise, the daring strike on the life-blood of Nazi industry. Of the 133 men who went out from RAF Scampton that night, 53 were killed and three were taken prisoner of war. One of those killed came from a village, Shere, not far from where I live.
"When you go home, tell them of us and say; for their tomorrow, we gave our today"
"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them."
Kevin Bowyer plays Eric Coates' Dambusters' March on the 1933 William Hill & Sons & Norman & Beard Ltd. organ in the chapel of the Royal Hospital School, Holbrook, near Ipswich, Suffolk, details of which may be found here: www.npor.org.uk/cgi-bin/Rsearch.cgi?Fn=Rsearch&rec_index=N00981

Son du grand orgue historique de la Basilique Saint-Sernin de Toulouse
What a spectacular organ and such an accomplished organist. A real pleasure to see and to hear THANKS
Outstanding.
This work obviously draws a bit on 'Sancta Civitas' in its world gone mad aspects but the very late Ezekiel-based 'Vision...' shows the nuts and bolts of apocalypse in a terrifying way. At least the cantata ends with the coming of Christ but here there is no consolation. In a way this work hints at aspects of the 9th symphony which Vaughan Williams apparently only discussed with Stokowski, a student friend of RVW and Holst and an organ scholar as well. We too frequently dismiss the Polish-English/US citizen and should consider their closeness as young music students. The fact that Stokowski flew to England [he hated flying] because VW needed advice on orchestration (ostensibly) helps to explain a lot about why the composer was secretive. Although the 9th shares a key and some devices with symphony #6, it is a neglected work of international importance, as Shostakovich and Bernstein both stated. Thank you for uploading this rare masterpiece but I, for one, will not be pleading with Chandos until the company finds some good old-fashioned sound engineers instead of twiddlers of knobs and "spotlighting" freaks. There is such a thing as a composer actually writing what he/she wants to reach the ears of other human beings with headphones on.
Beyond Time----out of this world.
Sublime
The fugue is loud and screechy! Boo! Hiss!
💞🌍🌎🌏💞 (thank you, shared on Pinterest last year, 2023)
Though many organists play this sweet composition well and many attempt to imitate Virgil Fox's interpretation of Cesar Franck's Andante Cantabile, no one plays this composition as beautifully or better than Virgil Fox. Of course, it helps to have the tonal resources of the Riverside Aeolian-Skinner at his disposal, but only Virgil Fox can serve this wonderful composition to you from the heart.
There has never been another organist that could make AEolian-Skinner Opus 1118 at Riverside sing as beautifully as Virgil Fox could. It was his organ and he was its unrivaled master. I wish that he could have recorded Cesar Franck's Grande Piece Symphonique on the Riverside organ as he did on AEolian-Skinner Opus 1388 at Philharmonic Hall Lincoln Center.
There's only one word for the performance as well as the organ itself... W O W !!!!!!!

I’ve never heard this before but it is marvelous !
The contre bombarde🤯 10:23
The trumpet division really shines here 9:04
So awesome piece and the organ is so grand.
Splendid
I LOVE this performance of this piece! Is it too fast? YES. Does it feel out of control? YES. But it is so exciting!! It sounds like all the devils in hell are on a train that is going too fast and about ready to fly off the rails in a catastrophic crash of pandemonium and chaos! It is WONDERFUL!
Saw Hector many times! He’s fantastic! Makes it all seem so easy!
I can’t be the only one who thinks this sounds like Zelda dungeon music.
Great music, performed by a great organist on one of the greatest and grandest organs in the world: CHAPEAU !!!
This is the only portable theatre pipe organ that was ever made ! It travelled all across the UK with Rginald Foort, although it's in a permanent venue now! This piece shows what a beautiful organ it is too!
Afro Virgil, came Latry !!!!
Sorry, after Virgil, came latry !!!!
It is amazing how a piece can be so beautiful and so ominous at the same time. This piece sounds perfect for preparing for a battle.
Magnificent
Awwweeesssooommm!!!!
Superb performance and recording. Balances the note flurries against echoic diffusion.
Really need to get downtown to the Fox for a live concert one more time before I kick the bucket.
SUPERBE
I don’t like the stops of this organ ! The registration doesn’t respect Dupré’s score !
Like his style or not, nobody could touch Virgil’s mastery and technical artistry of the complete repertoire, Bach, Durufle, Dupre, etc.Hopefully the type/writer/organists are coming out of the closets with inspired dusted off manuscripts🤪
Will anybody be brave enough to rebuild this organ? It must be falling apart. It has been estimated that 3/4 tonne of dust has fallen into it, the leathers must have collapsed. How about a European fund to rebuild this treasure?
Love it!
So fantastic!! Love his playing!! And sense of humor!! ❤
Great performance, amazing organ, excellent masterpiece! ART IN ITS BEST COMBINATION. Thank you for uploading this amazing artwork!!!!
This is one of my favorite recordings of organ music of all time. I would play a lot of organ music on my Halloween radio show when I was in college, and while I always appreciated organ music, it wasn't until I heard this recording that I feel in love with organ music. Pierre Labric's fast tempo adds to the gloominess of the piece and the Cavaillé-Coll organ's Contre Bombarde has a deep throaty sound that you can hear vibrating the building. When I play the recording on iTunes via a sound bar, it vibrates my living room as well. There is a lot of great organ music on this channel, its a shame that there haven't ben any new postings in a while.
Still the best recorded performance ever!
The run down the keyboard at the very end is really (I can't find the right word here).
Beautiful bravo bravo
Absolutely brilliant performance. Have always said it, if any changes are made to this magnificent organ, they should be regarded as a criminal act.
Having grown up and lived many years in Atlanta, I always loved going to the Fox theater, hearing the Organ being played. This is excellent!
A magnificent album - great to be able to hear pieces from it again!
Breathtaking...! 😳😳😅🥰😍
Breathtaking...! 😳😳😅🥰😍
Great touch and voicing choices!
Sonorous reeds heard to advantage. Most attractive recording all round. The tempo is well above what can be achieved on my local church tracker instrument !
You had me at St Sernin, but Raynaud is fabulous here! he gets the "strut" (terrible word but it's all I got) that Messiaen has that few players can bring out.
Magnificence de l'orgue et de cette pièce de Liszt transcrite avec talent de Madame Demessieux, merci Monsieur Labric (de bonne construction)si j'ose dire...
Written by a man entering his mid-80's, and still full of energy and passion. Amazing.
Heaven and Earth meeting!
