  • Yes Please,Ben, to a longer concert from this church! What a waste of a nice Organ if it cannot be played regularly!
  • Its good to know that this church is being used by Romanian Orthodox Catholics. The organ has a beautiful sound.

    YES! I would love to see a longer recital at St. Thomas the Martyr. Beautiful playing, as always. TY!

    The little fugue in G minor was one of the first baroque pieces I ever had a good listen to. My childhood best friend, a pianist, played it for me on his piano when we were about 15 years old. Now, 54 years later, baroque is my favorite, and Bach, of course the king of baroque. Hearing the little fugue always takes me back to my youth and the quiet joy of friendship.
  • It makes me sad that an organ can be burned, vandalised and used to store Tupperware. I am amazed that it still can create such beautiful sounds. I think the pork and pickle really fired up your playing! Love your work.

    It's sad that so many people are not going to church and these beautiful Cathedrals are silent.

    Thank you, Ben, for your thoughtful comments and wonderful playing ability as demonstrated today.
  • Thank you Ben for investing your time to show us all this beautiful organs and historic churches.

    Lovely rendition of the Zimmer piece. This building warrants an audience. What character

    Despite all the adversities, this organ has an amazing sound. It has a brightness you do not hear too often. Thank you for bringing it to us. And thank you to Hans Zimmer for allowing you to play his First Step.
  • This organ deserves to be heard more. Please bring us a complete recital. Thank you as always for your excellent work.
  • After all the misfortunes this church has had ... a little more love from us all could help it heal and also give it some well needed publicity ! So yes please, Ben !
  • @baxtercol
    Yes, please do a complete recital on this organ. Thank you for all of your music. Be blessed, as you bless others
  • It’s early Monday morning here in Minnesota. A new day. A new week. I generally start them with your latest, Ben. Today was special. An ancient redundant church in a vibrant location. It was especially moving. As you played the Zimmer, I wasn’t hearing just the voice of the organ, I was hearing the voice of the building. A voice that was both pleading and demanding. It said, “I’m still here. Hear me roar! Hear me comment on the world about me.” Relevance in sight and sound. My week now begins again with inspiration and insight fueled by your explorations. Many sincere thanks.

    A profoundly rich and gorgeous song from this Firebird.

    What a sweet young men and so informed...in music and literature. You give soul to all these amazing instruments you have shared with us! Cheers!

    This is one of the best organs (if not the best organ) that you have played on. Yes, a longer video on this organ would be nice.
  • Please give us a longer concert at St Thomas....beautiful music again today. Thank you & Blessings.

    Well.. if Anna Lapwood can play Hans Zimmer I’m sure you can Ben. I’m not sure what part of this wonderful video was more emotional for me, you bringing this wonderful organ to my attention, the fugue, I really don’t know. All I can say is you brought me to tears. For a grown man, that’s hard to admit. But there’s so much to love in this video, particularly the care and attention you give to making it a complete story. And yes, I’d love a longer recital. Thank you Ben.
