This is my original RU-vid channel where I posted many pipe organ videos, of myself and of recitals/demonstrations from organs around the Northeast US. You can still find many of them, including my first posting from St. John the Divine in NYC.
I am a photographer and work with audio/video on the side, check out my photography website which is linked in my channel. I also do some video/audio work, mainly with live pipe organ recordings, recently working with a local jam-band, and other personal video projects. Check out my Vimeo and Instagram for more of my work!
Feel free to contact me through my website, for questions or maybe looking for a photographer, let me know!
Oh, my. This really sounds great. Wish there were more hymns like this one posted for this organ. Spectacular. Great hymns and pipeorgans are giving way to bands, etc.
The South Gallery organ has 6,751 pipes and 124 ranks, while the West Chancel organ has 2,642 pipes and 48 ranks. (This makes a grand total of 9,393 pipes, in case you are wondering.) They range in length from one inch to 37 feet. Hence, why the organ is really loud and echoes in the entire church. The organ is Manufactured by Goulding & Wood and M.P. Moller.
Love visiting the cathedral for concerts and I have often visited on Christmas eve nothing better than full tutti. Some of these folks would fall over dead if they visited a French Cathedral and heard postlude improvisation at full tutti screaming chamades and 32 foot reeds love it loud love to feel the rumble. But it's nice to hear some soft celeste once in a while then full tutti Vierne toccata
Just came across this video. Was present for this. Thanks for showing Mr. Fiacco at work. Really glad to see how intense Dominic is when producing the music. Best Wishes to Dominic, Stephen and Sam.
Hi Sam, I'm back again this evening in the UK - replaying Dominic's amazing performance of "Résurrection from Symphonie-Passion, Op. 23 by Marcel Dupré". Thank you, again, for recording this concert (over fourteen months ago) - and please convey my thanks and appreciation to Dominic for his inspiring performance! Very best wishes, Tony, UK.

@@TheJakeman789 a little interlude is usually played between stanzas to see the recession/procession through. I don't see any problems with doing that, but why do you?
Just heard him yesterday (and heard of him and his story for the first time )at the Old Palatine Church 250th anniversary recital, on a much more modest organ than this, but in a great setting. As soon as he began I immediately knew I was hearing someone on an advanced level. Quite exciting, and moving, and now at 17 with a real future in front of him.
I'm so glad that you made the same discovery that I did last November. It would be so wonderful if he uploaded to RU-vid again in the future. Best wishes.
Definitely a much better concert organist than a church organist. A lot of staccato plus the louder ranks; makes for a less than great experience for a choir/congregation. Playing is great, execution could be better
@@davidbeattie1366 It doesn't sound staccato in the nave of the cathedral because the organ creates a sonic effect due to placement and the location of the "Sowerby Swell" division.
What pedal reeds was he using in the end? They have some formidable depth to them. I was shying away from a bombarde, this has more basson/fagotto elements to it!
Bombarde from Opus 150-A. Unfortunately, the Ophicleide was disconnected, shortly after the re-build by Quimby in 2008 and I don't believe it's been hooked-up again. Sam Cherubin writes below, "The 32' Ophicleide is the original EM Skinner Bombarde from 1906. The 32' Contre Bombarde was installed by Aeolian-Skinner in the 1953 rebuild, and that now is the only speaking 32' reed". What a combination the Bombarde and Ophicleide would make!
Beautiful. One thing I have noticed about the Skinner/Harrison Chamades is that they are very brassy. For example the Riverside Organ has the Trompeta Majestis at a high wind pressure almost like St John Divine. And that this cathedral Antiphonal Trompette Chamade might be at a wind pressure to replicate the State Trumpet of St John Divine but not at 50".
I keep coming back to this performance! However, I've realised, that I have never thanked Sam Cherubin for posting/recording this - and other recordings! Thanks and best wishes to you, Sam.
Hi Dominic - I feel compelled to make another comment - after listening to this performance, yet again. In addition to Bach BWV 548/Schubert, "Résurrection from Symphonie-Passion, Op. 23 by Marcel Dupré" was so moving and beautiful - and played with such skill and empathy for the music. Even though I keep questioning whether it's the first time that I've ever heard this, something in my mind says that it's not entirely unfamiliar! Either way, thanks for including it in your programme! Very best wishes to you and your family (and your organ teacher, Mr Best).
I'm completely 'blown away' Dominic! I found your organ teacher, Mr Best's comments at the beginning very moving - as was also the look of immense pride on his face whilst you were playing. You were truly living and breathing every note of the music you were playing - and your facial expressions clearly demonstrated that fact. Very well done. Superb performance!
Untill we dig out better solutions, planting vegetals is what we know as best idea to neutralize pollution, untill we give up using fossil resources as main energy power, each one can build up a new oxygen factory near its home, in the garden on a wall or a porch, it might be even funny, watching the first leaf growing up from a bean, let them pumpkin climb up on pine tree branches, as long as they convert the smog on to fresh air. I would suggest by now each skyscrape switch windows to have Winter gardens instead, can you imagine what a sight? Mother Earth is a heavenly garden, if we could just do what She decides. ..before we go suffocated all of us in the name of the perfect capitalism, think about it fans, this awesome Christmas Carol can be the best point for a start, let's have Faith to do what God's wants us to do
You are still in time to enjoy the Zeffirelli's movie Jesus of Nazareth, sharing the experience together like a scholars academic lecture, what on earth wanted the Holy Creation to tell us, God is using us to send His messages like this fans, Mother Earth is using another slang and we should grow up finally to understand it, for how much this suprematists trend of fascist approach seem so exciting, having such lack of respect for the human existance, it's a sad trend fans, time for waking up people. Each of our human feelings is a chemical reaction within our body releasing a certain kind of scent, l think sadness stinks like a Covid killer virus, l think this situation is the reaction of self defence of our planet immunitary system, if we become such suffocating little nasty demons to the only one that is feeding us. Sorry guys, when we have to live as perfect victims of the most degenerated destructive cynical cruel criminals, this is basic self defence, the ambition to survive and stay united for an alternative, time to become humans as Jesus wanted us to be, it is all there in the books, what is good for our planet is good for us too, time to be happy kind of humans Ok?
