I hope you enjoy seeing (and hearing) some of the musical things I get up to - please do get in touch should you require further details about anything. I can be contacted via my website www.simonlumby.co.uk . It would be great to hear from you!
Hi Andrew - just t let you know that Viva la Musica have released some of the music that we sang at Ripon - Viva has its own channel - if you want to see it, type Viva La Musica Chamber Choir into the search box and I think you'll find us.
Wow! Simon, you weren't joking when you said this series was going out on a bang. Absolutely sensational! Throughout this year, I have listened and watched in admiration, both for the music and for you, for playing it with such love and joy, and making it look effortless. And your Hauptwerk completely does it justice. Congratulations, and bravissimo! 🎉😊❤❤❤
A superb performance, Simon: bravo! The Marcussen Organ sample set is the perfect choice for such an epic work and this magnificent masterpiece by JSB sounds absolutely glorious in the splendid acoustic of the Laurenskirk. AWESOME!
Actually Karen, next week is the final video as it's the last Sunday before Advent Sunday - going out with a bang on Christ the King Sunday should be fun I hope!!
I must confess that this is the first time I have heard BWV 568 performed and it certainly does deserve to be better known (whoever might have composed it!). The Kenneth Tickell Organ sample set from Saint Mary-le-Bow, London, sounds glorious and your playing, Simon, sparkles in this splendid recording: bravo!
That pedal solo used to be the ABRSM Organ Grade 8 pedal exercise. This is a great performance cleanly executed. I first heard this piece played on a DGG LP in the ‘60s by the blind organist Helmut Walcha. I loved the piece then and I still do. Thank you so much for a brilliant performance! (I do wonder how you read all those small notes!)
I've never heard this played in full. Absolutely love it! Thank you, Simon, for starting off the playlist to my Sunday breakfast once again. Bravissimo! 🎉😊❤
A sparkling performance of this fabulous work, Simon, which sounds awesome on the Sauer Organ sample set with your registration choices and artistic articulation: bravo!
@@SimonLumbymusicianOK Two 32's . I played one a little in Munich Germany. Sound good. I have played Johannus Content Viscount and Allen. Is the speaker built in ? How do the 32' stops sound ?
Your wife cannot fail to be moved by this wonderful music played with such love and devotion. It certainly moved me - I seem to remember playing this in my school days around 6 decades ago when I had a borrowed flute from the school!
What a beautiful piece of music, which I know a little, and first class arrangement! It sounds wonderful in your capable hands! Thank you, Simon, and, as always, bravissimo! 🎉😊
Whether or not this Siciliano was composed by Bach, Aubrey Tucker's arrangement that you play so beautifully here, Simon, is wonderfully crafted and the piece sounds gorgeous on the Janke Organ sample set from Bückeburg: bravo!
I am so appreciate of your year long - is “labour of love” the right phrase? Whatever, I am very appreciative of you selection of Bach compositions and, today, your use of the Friesach sample set which ai also use from time to time. It suits some Bach very well. I notice you had the Hauptwerk on manual 2. I have it set on manual 1 - maybe wrongly? - so interesting to see how you, a professional, set it up.
Absolutely beautiful! Yet another great JSB musical discovery to add to my long list. I've listened three times already! Many thanks, Simon, as always. Bravissimo! 🎉🎹😊 PS: I hope your concert went well. I love The Creation.
A very fine performance that captures the grandeur of this Chorale Prelude most effectively on the splendid Orgelbau Eisenbarth sample set of the organ at St Bartholomäus, Friesach: bravo, Simon!
Superb in every way! A lovely piece indeed. Given JSB’s home life this must come from a good period in his story…..wife well! Children well and flourishing! But JSB was man of faith and that maybe shine through in this great composition which is new to me! Thank you again! Your wife is one very blessed lady! (And perhaps too his relationship with the church or civic authorities must be going well too!!!!
