Christ Church Cathedral Choir - Clive Driskill-Smith

[SuperBabel2]

Cette interprétation est une belle leçon, absolument remarquable... je sais, je me répète, mais... c'est beau ! cela ne souffre pas de discussions !!!!!! D.BABEL

[SuperBabel2]

ce scherzo opus 55 M Guilmant est introuvable en partitions, et c'est bien dommage

en tout cas, remarquable interprétation de ce monsieur que je ne connais pas...BRAVO  D.Babel

[UncleUlser]

Bravissimo! Looking forward to your next U.S. tour.

[JRSoubasse]

Beautifully done... And OH how I've always thought you were cute.

[Octavin2]

awesome

[CarolJHayes]

I would love it if Tom King would shoot you performing a Durufle!!!!!

[Mustela13]

Wow amazing, where did you learn to play?

[schneckenturm]

Hi,

five minutes ago I received a mail from Jenny Setchell, as I mailed before greetings from Germany and from the "Sister" Rieger Organ in Dinkelsbuehl from 1997 ( III/58 ).

It is wonderful played and the organ sounds very similar to "our" Rieger.

Well played CLive. It's a jolly Scherzo. Just one thing though no TV monitor in the Rieger Console then ? unless it's broken and your waiting to get it replaced. Also, I did hear of the unfortunate incident of the hot air blowers that were use when the Church heating had broken down. Some of the delicate Reiger mechancial action was not working . I imagined it's all been sorted out now.

There is a CCTV, but it's just out of shot on the left

Clive played the Postlude at East Congregational Church this morning and will be performing a concert this afternoon.

What an amazingly talented young man!!

[DocVulkan]

kudos to the videographer. You put in a lot of time synchronizing the great sound with the various takes. Nice job!

Well-played Guilmant, and I think the organ sounds great.

[mogemoets]

The only thing is, Clive-----for Guilmont--- this is such an easy piece!

The made us play it at sight, transpose it (at sight), melodically invert it, and play it backwards (in different keys!) as an undergraduate admissions requirement for the U of H Organ Department.

Hee hee Hee

MOG

Hi Clive remember to play the shcumann!!

FUNNY PIECE!!

[qw3rtydud3]

Very nice and enjoyable. Great performance :)

[cjaoov]

this is beautiful. I LLLOOOVVVEEE it =D

[CarolJHayes]

I LOVE this piece altho one of my organist friends thinks it is too "Victorian"; but then he is quite the Francophile and would probably love this instrument since I've heard other organists say this organ really more suits the French pieces (I love Durufle BTW). Anyway, Clive Driskill-Smith is a terrific organist and I've had the great pleasure of hearing him play the Gabriel Kney at Grace & Holy Trinity here in Kansas City, MO.

[totallyamused]

Great sounding neoclassical instrument. Sounds somewhat German. I do Miss the big, Big, BIG Heavey English Reeds though. Very skilled musician. He looks more like a rugby player than an organist but I won't hold that againt him...LOL;)

[Principaal]

I agree. And the flues sound a bit french.

It's not a very convincing organ, I think,

a bit a comprimise of German, French, and

English elements, heaped up in one organ.

I'd prefer still having the original Willis

or whatever it was, and just have added a

new organ in the Quire of the Church in

another style. Or just leave it!! Even better!

We've got plenty of organs in Oxford, right?

[notyobs]

Is there such a thing as a great sounding neoclassical organ?

[Terzian69]

Excellent!

[34045]

I have a feeling this man played this peice at Redcliffe on a young organists day recital. He may have played it....... not sure........ I have heard it somewhere........

[chnut]

Clive you are such a hottie!! ;)

[bachsonata]

Wonderful! Never heard this piece before - thank you for uploading the video. Would love to hear more performances, either from choir or Christ Church organ.

[joeyboi87]

hey could you please tell me the name of this piece of music. Its very enjoyable....would like to learn it myself!

[chchchoir]

It's by Alexandre Guilmant: Scherzo Symphonique

[DesireeDeFete]

Its nice to hear this seldom performed piece!
