"I'm sorry sir, but do you play an instrument"
"Nope. I play a building."
hahhahhahahah XD
🤣
he plays humanity
Literally
Such a perfect coment
This score is amazing and this organ must be an utter dream to play. Fun fact: A pipe organ is the only single instrument that can produce sound throughout the entire range of human hearing - 20hz - 20khz!
In deed. The highest and lowest sounds of this instrument reach the limit of what a human ear can.
Synths too
@@LordComradeAnarchoCapitalus *Acoustic* instruments.
While this is an awesome fact, it is indeed untrue - since synthesisers are also instruments just as much as acoustic ones are, and can do the same.
Still! The pipe organ is an incredible instrument, and the fact that it spans our entire hearing range is amazing.
I'm confused now, why do we have headphones with up to 80khz or more
The SteelSeries 61473 Arctis Pro Wireless
Headset for example has 40.000 Hz while used wireless, even more when used with a cable.
I wish live concerts had dishwasher soap commercials like CZcams. It’s a great way to bring you back to reality.
I can only imagine what it sounded like in person, this is one of the reasons I love music. You don’t just hear it you feel it in your soul.
agreed
A certain note or melody can either elate you or reduce you to tears
That's why everyone loves music* you are nothing special, that's what makes us human.
Dont listen to Goose, you are special!
@@GooseLooseMoose Those who don't allow others to be individuals are the only ones with nothing special to offer. They fall victim to the thing they accuse others of: lack of self. Learning how to be you is what allows you to differentiate from the rest. That's what makes us human.
The organ Hans Zimmer used in his film music is at Temple Church in London. Organs are magnificent. Apparently he chose it because it was the most complex piece of machinery made by man in the 17th century, and in that sense equal to the equipment used for these space missions hundreds of years later. Very fitting
Was it not because it was like the instrument itself was almost like it was "breathing" when played giving it a more human element?
@@agathacathartese7041 I heard him say the above in an interview. But yes, an organ is breathing. I have seen it up close, the bellows. In the old days they had people to work them. When the instrument is sort of on standby, you can hear the air hissing. I like how even the design of the exterior sometimes is inspired by the intimidating sounds the organ can make
Biggest organ is the one in Philly cathedral
@@Jarjarfunk it wasn’t about the size of the organ. Also the best ones won’t be in the USA.
@@bjoernaltmann idk I've heard that one in person it's pretty phenomenal but haven't heard the one you're talking about in person so really can't compare. He would know better then me honestly
Anyone else notice that this man has no sheet music? Playing entirely from memory. Absolutely insane
That’s how I play! I’m not as good as this, but I’m decent. Never took any lessons and I play quite a bit. I encourage everyone to try! You may surprise yourself :)
That's not difficult for a trained musician who has learned the song well.
I can see how this can be impressive to non musicians, but playing a song from memory isn’t as difficult as some may think. Some people are great at reading sheet music and some are slower to learn songs, but will memorize it completely when they master it. It just comes with practice. The muscle memory in you fingers plays more of the song than your brain.
Errr... Concert pianists have been doing that for centuries. Memorizing hours long recitals, and with pieces immensely harder than these!
As delko says most solo virtuoso performers do this - check out these two:
Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No.3 with Anna Fedorova
Brahms Violin Concerto with Hilary Hahn
To me, as someone especially into heavy metal, church organs are one of the most heavy metal instruments of all.
Agreed both literally and figuratively. Have you heard of the great stalacpipe organ? It uses tuned stalactites and electrically activated rubber mallets striking them to turn Luray cavern in Virginia into one of the most metal instruments I can imagine. So technically it's a lithophone. Look up "midnight in the caverns" by Monte Maxwell. It's an album recorded in the cave. Insanely unique music and sound. Most of the songs are here on youtube.
It’s said that Bach is the best heavy metal musician of all time.
I have a playlist of heavy metal covers played on pipe organs. It’s surprisingly plays like it belongs
Well they do have a lot of especially heavy metals in them.
@@bethrose6425Thanks for this comment, it confirms what are my thoughts. I can't stop hearing Iron Maiden and Bach.
Imagine going for a walk close to church, and you hear this masterpiece playing inside
i would start to believe lol
I'd enter the church, sit silently and dream of other worlds and future.
Id probably be raptured at that moment.
All creation is testimony to a living God so not to believe is inexcusable
@@raymondkirkham3815 Settle down mate
The fact that this sound comes form only one musician is simply magnificent.
The fact that this sound comes from only one instrument is simply magnificent.
That's why they call it the King of Instruments!
It takes a master to build an organ like this.
@@eefneleman9564 or more accurately, a number of extremely skilled craftsmen, working in a tight, niche role for a VERY long time.
@@buschiazzoantonino5917 It's the acoustics of the building as well not just the organ.
If I came across, passing by this church, hearing that, I would start to believe
So Hans Zimmer can create his own religion :-)
@@buschiazzoantonino5917 what is he doing?!
@@reapordeath He's beginning to believe...
@@seanster9100 LOLL!
@@seanster9100 my favorite line from that entire film...
14:17 I can’t get over that moment. That’s the sort of sound you’d expect hearing if all the secrets of the universe unfolded before your eyes. So exceptionally powerful.
I STILL have goosebumps 5 minutes later. The power this man must have felt during that dissonance
Todos lloramos
Totally agree! 🙏 111 likes…I see this number multiple times per day.
Gave me a headache
I feel the same about 23:23 !
This was performed by a human. Written by a human. Learned and adapted and executed by a human. We live in a transformative age in which these things we take for granted could become rarities in a sea of algorithmically generated content. Let us not take for granted the hearts and souls of our everyman, as with more and more tasks being better suited for the machine, I fear it may be the only thing that distinguishes us from our proverbial children.

"Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light"
What a great performance...
"Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light"
Gracias onur ...
That was quite moving maybe it’s my age
This can also be applied to Dark souls lore somehow 🙆🏻♂️

Hello Gladiator (I love the soundtrack of that film as well ;-) Thank you for your contribution to the channel. The list is quite useful !
Thanks for the timestamps, but 1:25 is Stay, not S.T.A.Y., they’re two different pieces
@@PianOG True
not first step
The soundtrack for Interstellar is probably one of my most listened to in my entire collection. The music in places care stir so much emotion in me it leaves me in tears. This video is so magical. Mr Zimmer had written a masterpiece.
I instantly got goosebumps and tears at min 9:00, not only because of the track, but because of how much body and soul this man puts into that instrument
I agree totally. I am mesmerized by this ocean of sounds.
At about 11 minutes in you looked right at the camera, and all I saw was true passion and joy in the music you were making. Thank you for sharing this with us all. Well done
I'm conflicted: I can't decide which is more glorious: the organ, the music, or the performer. I will just have to listen to this video again, and again .... Thanks for posting.
Thank you Peter. What seems great to me is the music and the organ. I could have played better.
@@buschiazzoantonino5917 As strictly an "end user" (I don't play any musical instrument - but love listening), performances such as yours of great music are the highlight of many days.
@@peterkizer6163 Your words are particularly motivating to continue my work.
Music has to breathe, it has to have soul, it has to speak to you, something that is lost in today's so-called music. To be able to play an organ the way you did, the melody that you played was just beautiful, that's the only way that a can put it. Well done, well done.
It's also a brilliant piece of videography.
The organ isn't just a instrument its a building its a machine that the church is built around
its crazy these things are huge and amazing
"its a machine that the church is built around" you nailed an entire plank here dear Sir.
13:17 brings a tear to my eye everytime
When I took organ lessons as a teen I would have this huge church and the organ to myself every day for an hour. I felt powerful! The sound! Of the pedals and keys. Those were glory days
I do hope you used the power well and played the due share of the imperial march?
Same, I regret that I couldn't find the time to stick with it into my mid 20s, but it's not a super accessible instrument
Can we just take a second and think about the fact that this man is playing all this from memory
Although most organists play by reading the sheet music, playing from memory is nothing extraordinary :-)
@@buschiazzoantonino5917 thank you for the piece, it made me look up Hans' new movie, Dune, and now I want to see it ...
@@derekwfrazier absolutely go see it, its amazing. Though hans composed for it and is not the director of any movie as far as im aware
@@D3nn1s yes, he is often making music with the director on, before or during to such a degree, that I say "his"
Whilst I can read sheet music, I cannot sight read. Therefore I memorise, it's odd I can't quite explain it. You feel what's coming next, you know the "sound and tone" that should come next.
Hanz Zimmer is an absolute maestro and Interstellar is easily one of the most brilliant movie soundtracks ever
I totally agree ;-)
There is no One like him 👍👌❤️
is a plagio of Philip Glass's Koyaanisqatsi
@@karinabelmarbelmar2717 Really?! )
Agree 🙏🏻❤️
I've listened now to many organists playing this piece, and have to say this remains my favourite version. It's light years ahead....
I played the organ as a child and my grandma wanted nothing more than to watch me play the organ in a big church. She died when I was 14 and I wasn't able to fulfill her dream. When I watch this I imagine how she would cry tears of joy if I could play that for her.
Thank you :)
If she was a Christian, she can see you do it now from heaven by the doctrine of the Communion of Saints. I say hit the console asap :)
I’d suggest talking to a local choir director about your/her dream.
Imagine the feeling being able to play this godly masterpiece to perfection...
Perfection is not attainable, but even if it were possible, seeking to be close to it I think is more motivating than pretending to have achieved it.
@@buschiazzoantonino5917 why are you so sour
imaging being able to play organ :D
@@khamodaz u know thats a guy that is playing in this video right
@@khamodaz he is being realistic, and, dareisay, acknowledging God
I'd like to hear this in St. Stephan's cathedral in Passau, Germany. The organ there is actually part of the building so you're effectively sitting INSIDE the organ. It has over 17.000 pipes and when it's played you can feel the building vibrate!
I really experienced in feeling and hearing this huge instrument 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Organs are the only instruments where you can go inside. Some have stairs, some have even elevators! THEY POWERFUL
It has been said that cathedrals were built as places of healing utilizing the vibrations from the pipe organ... The patterns of the stained glass windows match the cymatic patterns of specific frequencies
Or you could go even further. The Boardwalk Organ, a massive Midmer-Losh located in Boardwalk Hall, Atlantic City, NJ. Even in its half-functional state (damage and decay thanks to its proximity to the ocean, and thus, hurricanes, as well as incompetent renovation of the building and having been neglected since the 1970's), it dwarfs every other organ in the world in size and sound, even Wanamaker in Philadelphia and the Sydney Opera House Grand Organ. It's one of only two organs in existence with a 64 foot rank, the other being SOHGO, approaching the lower limit of perfect human hearing but very noticeable because you can feel it. Imagine that at full tilt, post-restoration. The sound would blow your socks off and out the nearest open window!
The best part? Restoration will be complete well within your lifetime if you can stick it out to the 2030s. They've got good enough funding that the other organ in the ballroom is almost complete, and once that's done, they'll be able to pump all that time and money into the big boy.
thx 👍. don't live too far away, sounds like it's definitely worth a day trip
This was incredible, absolutely breathtaking. My neighbors thought so to.. even if they didn't want to...
Every time I jump on a plane, I find myself on my iPad looking for entertainment movies. When ever I find Interstellar, I watch it. I am a 1K passenger, so many miles in the seat. What I find in your music is that it transports me to another place. Murph @ 14:46 brings me to tears. I have a personal connection of loss. Murph lost her dad . . . but as a dad I lost my daughter. I get this music! I have been listening to it since the release in 2014 . . . Thank you Antonino for touching my heart with your epic performance.
Now the one who's thrilled is me. Thank you very much for your powerful comment. Best wishes and a warm hug from France !
As a father of an 11 yr-old, this movie is so moving for me and I feel such a connection to it. It is one of my daughter's favorite movies to watch with me. I'm so sorry for your loss... as a father I can only imagine what you have gone through. My heart goes out to you.
I for some reason always watch this movie when I’m flying too. It has been my go to for years now
OMG bro, as a dad of 9-month boy, share your tears
Personally I consider this soundtrack to be the best in a movie, I know there are many soundtracks but there is something about it that makes it incredibly artistic and perfect for the movie, I feel sorry for your daughter ...
perdor if I miss a word in English, is that I speak Spanish.
This is one of the best performances of the Interstellar soundtrack out there!
Maybe ... thank you Dirk !
Fact!
it's probably the best. I've seen many.
I know a lot of performances and covers of this track. No one, not a single one comes even near to this one.
How do you precisely control 12 appendages simultaneously, while remembering exactly where the 150 + or - keys & buttons are located & plug in the musical piece with your mind. Truly an amazing feat.
it certainly wouldnt be fun for us to get good at the organ like this guy. bet he enjoyed it though. maybe he is off his rocker lol ambien alcoholic? we may never know. atleast he recorded it so we can appreciate the hard work and dedication. it is pretty wild when u have to throw ur feet into an equation.
Practice, lots of practice.
It is all in the pencil........
@@Seahorse1414 ;-) ;-) Well said....
after the climax of murph and the release, I couldn't help but just laugh, not cause it was ridiculous or anything but because I was incredulous at how good that was and felt such relief after that long buildup
The NASA shirt makes this all the more touching. 🇺🇸✨
It wasn't my idea :-)
Well spotted
My heart can't take this. Not only is this one of the most amazing films ever made but the soundtrack is, excuse the pun, out of this world. I want everyone to listen to this and step off the merry go round of life and wake up, take a deep breath. This is the only chance we get to walk on this spinning orb and it's a chance we must take with both hands. Live life, be happy, fill our soul, don't sweat the small stuff. This fulfils me, delights me and sends the hairs on the back of my neck into a frenzy. Absolutely wonderful!

I would love for this to be played on the concert pipe organ at Benaroya Hall in Seattle. The organ there is so powerful, it literally shakes the seats. The bass is so deep you don't really hear it so much as feel it in your flesh and bones. The house organist there once gave a concert including Toccata and Fugue by Bach that just about melted me into my chair. The organ has such a beautiful voice from both metal pipes and wooden pipes, plus the acoustics in Benaroya are aaaamazing. There isn't a bad seat in the house due to the way the walls were angled and paneled.
The interest of the organ is not only due to its sound power. Its great repertoire is extraordinary and of infinite wealth.
Thanks for your comment Laura !
Most magnificent musical instrument built by human hands.
Ah, those ~32 hz and ~16 hz fundamental notes of C... (Or however low that particular organ goes). CHURCH GOES BRRR 🙏😅🙏
Or the organ in ST Giles cathedral in Edinburgh is amazing as well
Have lived in Washington my whole life and didn't know there was an organ hall there. Thanks for letting me know!
The main theme does something to me, i can't explain it but I'm convinced it's not just music. It's other worldly, like it was present hundreds of thousands of years ago and we all know the music. Like it's instilled in us all from before birth.
The earth is only around 6000 years old but I understand what you’re saying.

10:55 i cried. That's very beautiful
It is a majestic instrument. And the construction of the church amplifying the sound to heavenly levels, you cannot fail to be moved.
Totally agree !
The church acoustics were not intended nor created. The acoustics is a product of many, many factors that are hardly understood in their complexity.
Glory to the people who create those objects with their minds and their hands. They're the true heroes.
@@johnnemaricphd9708 you just said a whole lot of words but a whole lot of nothing at the same time lol
A wise man once said "The closest man can ever get to God in our physical forms is through music".
Not only is the sound recording spectacular, but I loved the split screen overhead shot showing both the lower two manuals And the Pedals so we could see his footwork.
As I commented on another video of Antonino's performance, I just cannot listen to this piece without having tears in my eyes. They just come, uncontrollable. This is a mystery to me, and also magical. It is the amalgam of an inspired composition, a breathtaking performance and a glorious organ. It is humbling, what sound waves can do to my emotions.
We will never understand how incredible this sounded in person.
Hearing this with my $10 ear buds is awesome, I can't imagine how epic it would be to hear this in person.
Yes. Just yes.
My ear buds didn't survived 😢
You can tell the performer is amazed by his own performance !!
Thank you Miyazaki's girl ;-)

@@bamahama707 let the man speak for himself... if he wasn't amazed, he would've said so. 👍
@@OneMate4Life He didn't have to speak...his performance said it all.
@@bamahama707 It looks to me that you haven't noticed that the author of the first answer above is Antonino Buschiazzo, who is the man playing in the video. Am I mistaken?
This instrument was designed for this piece. Hanz zimmer is a genius, this score though really gets into your soul. I watched hanz zimmer live twice and was blown away, if he could use a proper organ like this it would be epic.
Heaven’s chorus. This is absolutely breathtaking.
Living near Strasbourg, I immediately recognised the church of St Paul, the church in which my parents were married.
I love this original soundtrack and would have loved to listen to it during the recording, to be pierced by the powerful and beautiful sound of this organ.
Goodness! As an organ builder here in the states 32 years now, and remembering I could not wait for the BluRay to be released. I was SO pleased that Hans wrote about his first experiences at the pipe organ as a child in the opening notes of the booklet.
It was wonderful to watch a track on the disc dedicated to the organ in rehearsal and it's featured artist at the console.
Having said that, Antonino chose the PERFECT instrument AND acoustic for his 'transcription, the voicing is spot on! I say it is not all about how many ranks / stops the instrument has, but utilizing the right 'colours' available to the performer as heard on this organ.
Congrats Antonino and wonderfully done ! And hats off to the recording engineer and videographer.
Thank you very much Gary! This has been our first video with the new material acquired (cameras and microphones). My friend Michael Bartek will soon present his work dedicated to Holst's planets.
@@buschiazzoantonino5917 Thanks so much for your reply! The Holst will be an organ transcription? It would be wonderful to see and hear! YOUR recording was artfully done. Question for you, was that the microphone placement on the main santuary floor behind you as you were talking out? (25' stand?)
As a recordist, I would have put it exactly there too ! Was it a single point stereo, or other? Just curious, again, thank you for your wonderful first effort!
@@garysmith8455 The next video will effectively be a transcription of some Holst's planets (in this organ they sound impressive).
Four professional microphones were used. Two of them in front of the instrument (at an approximate distance of 10 meters from the console).
The other two were installed further back (one on each side) to obtain more depth and width at moments of greater volume.
@@buschiazzoantonino5917 Ok, thank you for the information. Just thought I would mention, and you may know of the recording....Peter Sykes' Planets transcription.
He has performed this work not once, but TWICE right down the street from my home on an historic - UNaltered 1921 Skinner which our firm has taken care for many years. His lovely wife handles most of the string sections and Peter takes the brass and pedal along with other parts.
They each divide their tasks playing on their one of four manuals and since the console is still all pneumatic - original combination action and doesn't have any generals, they are managing all the stops between them as well.
I have personally recorded the performance and it is always amazing to hear LIVE !
Back to you 😉
"Organ builder."
What a rare, unique title to have!
Is there any decent money in that skillset? Or is it only a labor of love?
That main theme moves me to tears everytime I hear it, hearing it on this organ hits especially harder for me! This world today doesn't deserve Hans Zimmer smh
Мечтая ,да ви чуя на живо ! Ханс Цимер е Великан на нашето време , но представен по този начин , наистина е омагьосващо!
It is in my opinion a masterpiece and perfectly suited for the organ the king of musical instruments. I wonder what Beethoven, Bach and Mozart would have said if they were still with us today.
Zimmer's music is not of classical tradition. It works very well combined with cinema images.
The musical world of Beethoven or Bach is completely different. Possibly those great composers would not understand Hans' musical language.
@@buschiazzoantonino5917 The only thing the great composers of the past didn't have was cinema - I suspect given the medium they'd have composed pieces literally unheard of for us. Movies, after all, are in many ways derivatives of opera. The biggest difference from the music's point of view is the possibility of instant scene changes. On that scale I think Richard Wagner would have very well understood what's going on here. Of course he'd have produced, written and directed the movie too. :-)
1. Acquire a time machine
2. ???
3. Profit
They did hear it... behind the bookshelf in the sacristy.
@@buschiazzoantonino5917 True but they had theatre/opera which often used an organ or whole symphony. Even in the parts where the actors aren’t singing, there was still music going on. It would be a bit weird, but if they knew the context was background for a story, they could somewhat understand it.
As physical as music can get, saving this one for a cloudless night, must be even more impressive when actually staring into the space this piece was written to comprehend. Fantastically played sir.
A friend of mine already had that experience with my recording. She told me it's really worth it. Thank you !
@@buschiazzoantonino5917 thank you for your wonderful performance! Take care.
Next time you have a cloudless light, preferably without a Moon, find a wiiiiide open field, with lots of skyview, go out into the middle of it, and lie down. Spread-eagled, facing upwards. When you do, picture yourself standing.
You'll feel less like you're lying "on the ground." And more like you're "pressed up against the side of the Earth." Facing not upwards, but *outwards,* towards the vast 3 dimensional magnificence of the Universe.
It might feel disorienting. As it should. But you should experience it at least once or twice. Because that is what every astronaut experiences when they go into Orbit. And this technique is the closest thing to that most of us will ever get to experience.
We are not standing on a flat, wide open world. We are standing on a gigantic ball, floating in this gigantic empty sea of wonders.
@@davecrupel2817 that sounds incredible. Ive felt that disorientating feeling once when looking at the sky for too long,i must try this
@@user-lp7tx1fe6t That's one of the reasons you lie down. So you can't hurt yourself from the disorientation. Lol.
You are the reason why I donate money to church organs everytime when I am in a church. I love you as you are a musician. Please come to play at St. Marien zu Lübeck or St. Jacobi zu Lüdingworth, Germany. This would be my ultimate dream.
The sheer mental dexterity needed to play this organ is amazing, and without sheet music even more so. Playing with both hands and two feet and juggling toggles, boggles the mind. Kudos
Um gênio para tocar coposição de outro!
Mind blowing
I love the fact that for once in this video clip, we can see the keyboards and have a glance of the harmonic complexity and delicate intricacies of this music, as well as of the exquisite way you handle that complexity an make it seem so simple and heartbreaking. Your foot pedalboard play on "Murph" is outstanding. In addition, I have never seen elsewhere an organist playing two keyboards with one hand, as you did in in that very same song. Sure this is something they did not teach in organ school? I which I would have been there in this church listening to your play. Bravo!
Also, a pencil used to jam keys down and hold pedal tones.
When you play transcriptions, e.g. by Lemare, you must often play with thumb a melody on another keyboard.
Why you talkin like this the 1400s bro
@@jordynharris445 it's funny because most of the "fancy" words in this comment didn't enter the English language until the 17th century
Your are absolutely right Mr. Serge...
Every time I hear the main theme it literally transports me into every human emotion. It's magical and sad at the same time. It's powerful and beautifully executed.
The making of this music from Hans Zimmer is expressed with wonder and love. Highly recommend watching it with the director and in the church. The beauty is that he did NOT know the storyline in detail. That's pure genius.
Thank you for sharing this masterpiece.
It's primal, galactic and personal all at the same time. Beautiful music. Organ gives it that aura of strength, magnitude and overwhelming vibration. If space could have a sound, it would be this.
Even with a body of work as expansive and large as his is, I'm convinced this will be the piece that will still be listened to by humans (hopefully while traveling through space).
12:45 gives me goosebumps
The man, the composer, the music, the whole splendor...is uttererly wonderful
I have listened to many people playing the theme songs of interstellar, and have to admit that this one here is the best one I've heard.
It's magnificent! Also Anna Lapwood playing it on the Royal Albert Hall organ...to die for.
No idea how The Algorithm(tm) got me here, but I'm damned glad it did - glorious work.
Sometimes "le hasard fait bien les choses". Greetings from France !
Ho 41 anni, e questo signore mi fa provare per la prima volta uno dei peggiori sentimenti dell' umanità: l invidia. Non mi è mai appartenuta in tutta la mia vita fino a quando ho sentito questo pezzo(conoscevo già il film e già sentite tutte le cover di Interstellar) ma provo un invidia profonda per ciò che questo signore può provare a suonare questo pezzo su un organo e godersi la sensazione di connessione col creato,il creatore e la celestialita di queste note. Vorrei poterlo fare anche io. Provare questa libertà,questo senso di trascendenza. Soldi, macchine, posizioni lavorative,successi....
Mai invidiato nessuno. Ma questo video mi chiede di sentirlo ancora.non ce la faccio a smettere. Se fosse un vecchio nastro l avrei già consumato.....almeno 30 visualizzazioni sappiate che son le mie(e son passate solo due settimane da quando l ho scoperto). Ogni volta che lo sento e vedo la goduria di questo signore mentre suona, mi sento come se fossi un assetato nel deserto che vede una persona seduta su una sedia al centro del deserto che mi beve in faccia allegramente. Si,posso confermare che è invidia. Non posso che ringraziarlo per ciò che ci sta donando. E non posso fare altro che ringraziare Hans Zimmer. L eternità di questa musica non ha prezzo.
Ciao Crocro. Le tue parole mi commuovono e mi riempiono di soddisfazione. Se invidi la mia esecuzione di questa musica, invidio coloro che possono scrivere commenti ispirati come i tuoi. Saluti da Strasburgo
@@buschiazzoantonino5917 non invidiare nessuno, hai un dono e una fortuna immensa. Vivi al di sopra delle teste di molti,senza che loro se ne accorgano neanche. Ti ringrazio per quello che sei. Sei ciò che sei grazie a te stesso,al tuo sudore, alla tua cultura,alla tua voglia di dare sempre il meglio di te al prossimo. E con questo video hai davvero dato tanto di te, gratuitamente. Spero che tanti vedano questo video, soprattutto giovani,così che ciò che hai dato gratuitamente almeno butti qualche seme buono,perché sei un eccellente esempio di professionista a cui bisognerebbe attingere con gratitudine.
Purtroppo nonostante abbia un briciolo di cultura musicale,non ho mai avuto la possibilità di coltivarla neanche con uno strumento,figuriamo un organo. Ma grazie alle riprese si capisce benissimo la complessità e il coordinamento che hai acquisito,sicuramente in anni di sacrifici e studio. Che dire,per me rimani un mostro di immensa bravura. Sei spaventoso. Sei capace di farmi cogliere tutte le sfumature che imprimi sui tasti,le sovrapposizioni delle scale.....mi chiedo come sia possibile muovere mani e piedi con quel coordinamento,in tempi e modi separati. Non sei di questo pianeta. Comunque posso solo ringraziarti per esistere🙌
Comprendo perfettamente cosa intendi. Questo è uno degli strumenti che ho sempre adorato e per un certo periodo ho sognato. A 12 anni la musica è entrata nel profondo della mia "anima" e si è sviluppata in una maniera incontenibile. Ho sempre voluto saper suonare più strumenti ma non ho avuto molte possibilità.
Sono nato nel sud d'Italia, con poche possibilità culturali ed economiche, ma ho avuto la fortuna di prendere lezioni di chitarra per qualche anno, imparando la musica. Non sai quanto mi inorgoglisce questo. Purtroppo però non sono mai stato un musicista, ma neanche uno che suonava in spiaggia... Le tastiere mi ha hanno sempre affascinato e ho sempre sognato di suonarle. A premere un tasto "torna indietro" mi metterei a studiare per comporre colonne sonore. Per ora mi diverto anche a prendere lezioni di batteria, sognando di fare l'one man band. Ti racconto l'ultima, causa della mia ricerca qui su youtube e del perché sono qui.
Anni fa, per pasqua andammo nei pressi della foresta nera ed un giorno facemmo un giro a Strasburgo. Eravamo al centro, vicino questa chiesa e poiché era Pasqua entrammo in chiesa.
Beh, ho pianto tutte le volte che l'organo partiva. Non ti dico l'attacco finale alla fine della messa, non riuscivo assolutamente a trattenere le lacrime, mi giravo ovunque. Avevo la videocamera e registrai quei momenti.
Quindi capisco, comprendo, sento la tua invidia.
Buona musica, buona vita.
@@buschiazzoantonino5917 Lei non ha letto una sola nota. E questo la dice lunga. GRAZIE!
non esageriamo, se vuoi una fantastica interpretazione cerca su youtube il video della tipa incinta che suona tra l'altro la stupenda trascrizione di Wanying Lin
This is something we all should be grateful for listening to, in our lives.
Whenever my life just seems like its stretching me into nothing, this video comes and keeps me whole.
Same. I hope tomorrows a great day for u 🤙🏼🖖🏼
Never thought a pipe organ could make me cry. This is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever experienced, thank you
Comments like yours move me too. A big hug Jim !
@@buschiazzoantonino5917 same here, i want to read comments, exactly for this
Well the organ was built to sound like God, you know...So no wonder.
Hans Zimmer is my hero. He is a genius. Everything he does is perfection.
Just imagine how it would feel to hear it in person…
The emotion of Maestro Antonino during “No time for caution” is simply beautiful! 😍
The emotion at the end of Murph is shattering !
Hans Zimmer is a God. And this player is one of his angels!!!
How can a human have access to this kind of music? This is the most incredible combination of sounds,
Some people hear this for the first time and I feel their day is going to change completely.. Merci à vous Damien Simon pour ce moment de grâce👌
Bonjour Philippe, grâce à l’autorisation de Damien Simon (organiste titulaire de Saint Paul) nous avons pu réaliser ce projet musical avec mon collègue Michael Bártek, mais je précise que celui qui joue dans cette vidéo n'est pas Damien.
I tell all my friends that the one-minute excerpt that starts at "22:54 - " is one of the most beautiful melodies ever created by mankind. (Google translate)
É verdade ..... isso toca seu coração.
To me, the great pipe organ is the most noble and supreme technology of man, in other words, a better thing has not been made.
thank you Hans Zimmer one of the great modern day composers and thank you to all those talented musicians who play his music and share it with us
When I saw interstellar in the theater, I was dealing with a lot of heartache. Divorce and missing my kids came to a boil in the scene when Murph is frustrated with her dad for leaving. I was loving the movie, and probably scaring some of my younger coworkers that went with me. I remember them looking over at me while I was completely losing my s***. I was a complete mess. Thankfully it didn't take me as long to see my kids again as it did for Cooper.
A wonderful recording of some of the highlights of that stunning soundtrack. I love it. Thank you for uploading this.
Thank you very much for your strong testimony. Knowing that through music I can move people means a lot to me.
I’m imagining starting this video at 7:34 with only 7 minutes left until the end of the world. The silence at the end is deeply chilling.
Zimmer plays this with a whole company..but YOU do it by yourself!!! ABSOLUTLY AMAZING!! Again and again
Michael, Thank you so much.
This music... makes me so emotional most of the time if I'm alone.
I was a single father and had to leave my children behind during the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and I didn't get to see them for years, to grow and become adults.
It's so sad, and so amazing, that this score captures these moments so well, and keeps me from self harm. The sacrifices we do for our children... with our only reward to see them as happy and well adjusted adults.
I dont regret serving, i just wish i could have seen my children more, see their faces, their smiles, holidays, birthdays, first communions... I sincerely love this score.
Hard to believe this enormous sound was produced with only two hands and two feet! Because it wasn't, there was also a pencil involved. And playing two manuals with one hand? Is it even legal? But jokes aside, a truly stellar performance!
Dear Artem, the incredible sound of this instrument does not come from my hands and feet, but from the organ itself and the quality of the microphones. The pencil was just a trick to keep a note that I couldn't play myself. In complex compositions for organ it is common to play on two keyboards simultaneously with one hand, or chords with only one foot. Thank you for the compliment ... best wishes !!
@@buschiazzoantonino5917 You are almost quoting J. S. Bach "All one has to do is hit the right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself"
Tars agrees
;-)
One might say, an interstellar performance.
I cried listening to this. I felt like being part of something way bigger than me. Thanks for giving us such amazing piece!
Indeed.
We are a part of something way bigger.
Amen.
Truly epic indeed! The basspipes have such a dramatic effect. The Main Theme is like hearing the birth of the universe so beautiful. No sheetmusic and wearing a NASA tee, what a performer!
Big standing ovation 👏👏👏👏👏 I've heard other people play this on pipe organ and no one comes close to this man👏👏👏
22:50 onward just absolutely got me. There is so much emotion and mastery all happening at the same time. The harmonics are absolutely insane at 23:27. Way better than the movie. Tears and bravo man!
Absolutely my favorite part!
I'm glad I wasn't the only one. The energy there was powerful you lose control of yourself for the duration.
The whole progression that builds since a few minute before that points is unbearable. There is a constant tension in the chord progression that when it finally resolves to the grandioso, you feel released from that tension. In the OST, this progression appears a few times, it's quite exhausting. I love it.
Even him, the player (Godsend) expressed himself at this moment... Absolutely.
I've never wanted to learn how to play an instrument so much as I want to learn the organ. The feeling of empowerment when the sound is rumbling through every inch of your body when playing in a church must be so overwhelming. Thank you so much for this inspiring and fantastic piece of work.
you'd better become a man of the cloth for that honor.
I played at a church for 9 months and loved it! And with a church full of people singing is just a taste of what it must sound like in the heavenly realms.
Yes, it's a wonderful feeling. When you get the chance to play on a great instrument like this, it is a true privilege.
What a lovely thing to say. 😌
I’m the organist at my church. It really is such an incredible feeling of power, especially to use those ground-shaking low notes in the pedalboard.
i havnt watched the movie yet. but i LOVE this soundtrack so much. tears of joy and this wierd mix of nostalgia, happyness and sadness. im.... i cant describe this feeling
I hope u watched the movie. With soundtrack and story. My fav movie all time. Hans zimmer is a god. And this guy on organ keeps me coming back often to this. Just amazing. Many of us know what u r feeling because we are feeling same 🤙🏼🖖🏼
FWIW, the 64’ pipes on the Medmer-Losh play at 8hz. You can’t distinguish it as music, but it fills out a bass chord nicely.
I’ve seen interstellar at least 20 times. This is so impressive. My most watch movies have the perfect combination of script, direction, acting, beautiful cinematography and I believe most importantly the score. And like many in the comment section, I cried during Murph. Bravo!
You need to take this show on the road. 👏🏼🙌🏼
My most favourite musical score of all time.
I don’t think I saw it 20 times, but even if I did I still wouldn’t understand it. In the future humans created that funky looking library thing that allowed Cooper to contact young Murph and later on adult Murph to save humanity. But if saving humanity comes from the future, doesn’t that mean it was saved already?
the nasa shirt of class of maestro antonino: touch of class, priceless
@@cloudstreets1396 its a paradox, basically
it sent goosebumps down my body. I just can't believe that this guy played all the themes with memory
Nothing out of the ordinary for great musicians. If you wanna see example of such then look for piano concertos. My personal favorate is Rachmaninoff 3rd Concerto by Vladimir Horowitz.
@@ayushagrawal6996 I mean, you’re right, but he probably has a bunch of other shit memorized as well. At most I can only memorize 5-6 songs on piano at a time. Anymore songs and I’ll start forgetting shit.
@@ayushagrawal6996 and also, a pipe organ is much harder than a piano and more stuff to memorize
Imagine walking into church and this guy is just slaying it on the organ.
I think he came directly from Space, only to give us this out of the world impresive and powerfull performance.
Oh, to be IN the instrument (the building) when he has the pedal down and the deep pipes are rattling your lungs. No other instrumental experience is like it.
The deep basses of that instrument are orgasmic ;-)
I was once in an over-sized orchestra playing a Shostakovich symphony, in a rehearsal room that barely had room for all of us. About 100 violins, massively over-sized brass section etc. You could feel the room shake when everybody (including the basses, tubas, contrabassoon... ) really got the place vibrating. We went and performed in front of an audience and it wasn't the same, since the sound wasn't so much reflected right back at us in a big space with an audience.
I've watched this video a few times and this is the first time I noticed the pencil holding the key @6:11 !
Someday, a church needs to have a showing of this movie with a live musical score.
Hans Zimmer made a soundtrack that was able to capture the vast mystery of space while somehow sticking to the grounded emotional themes of familial bonds. Truly a masterwork.
The cosmos is such an immeasurable mystery that I don't think there is music capable of truly describing it.
But for this film, Han Zimmer's work has been outstanding. Thank's for your comment Caius !
I friend of mine did play the main theme once in the local church. It was the most thrilling and touching experience I've ever had. Goosebumps, tears, elevation, breakdown. All at once. Hearing this score played on an Organ in a church is like nothing else musically.
WIsh I knew how to play so I could sneak this in one Sunday during mass 😂😂
Imagine how Hans Zimmer must have felt composing this. 😌
You titled this video EPIC. You titled it RIGHT! Totally amazing an awe inspiring. Two Cerwin Vega 18" Earthquakers were in their element.
I love that he's wearing a NASA t-shirt
I notice that he used no sheet music for this, thus allowing himself to become immersed in the music itself. I could hear the difference. Stunning!
Hello James. Yes, it is always better to memorize the music in order to interpret it better.
It also proves how often he has practiced the piece.. endless times to perfection.
i can hear a overall improvisation
It seems like a passion project so he probably memorized it because he chose to, not for the practical purpose of not having to have someone turn pages for him.
Nothing short of awe inspiring, never seen or heard such mastery, and without the sheet music, from memory...the passion you express of these pieces has, nor can be compared to any I have heard. Thank you so much for sharing this with the world! Please, never stop what you do, genius!
Thank you so much hodgeutoo. I feel thrilled reading your nice words...
Best wishes !
@@buschiazzoantonino5917 You deserve being called a genius as organs are difficult to remember where every key is and the correct foot movements, yet you do so pure from memory. Amazing piece. I would have loved to be in that church at the time.
@@Excanda I do not think it was that hard, I could probably do that as well xD, or maybe I am a genius myself lol. I rather wonder how the man train for that? On a keyboard? Or people just have to plug their ears until he has it right? :D Surely he had to make a lot of mistakes before the whole piece is finalized and ready to be performed.
@@emilnemyl448 You have never touched an organ to think that "you could probably do that" (unless you are an organist).
And... an organist trains itself on an organ. A violonist trains on a violin. And a drummer on drums. So obvious.
@@emilnemyl448 A wise man never knows everything, but a fool always knows it all. If you think you can play an instrument you have never played before as well as this, let alone an organ, please do find a church with an organ and record your performance, it would be quite a good laugh. I have recently started learning the organ even with 15 years of musical experience elsewhere, the organ is an entirely different beast. Go look up some info on playing a pipe organ and you will realize the complexity and difficulty of the instrument.
Playing this in such an enormous instrument must be absolutely an insane feeling.
If I ever heard about a live performance like this anywhere near me I’d mortgage my house to get tickets if I had to.
Hi Emily. I play it again in concert next july. Same location and same instrument.
You are wellcome ;-)
@@buschiazzoantonino5917 can I buy a ticket or can I get an info when it is. would be so awesome!!
@@buschiazzoantonino5917 OH MY GOD WHEN
At an emotional crossroad right now, this has lifted my spirit and made me cry at the same time, thank you to the performer and poster!
Thank you Danny !
i will pack this track on my songlist, for my funeral, thats how the world should leave me away
