Such an Amazing rendition by this organ scholar, have heard it many times and never tire of it Glorious Easter tide!!!! Comment from : Britt McDermott

Hopefully the organ will be back by 2025! Comment from : J Tay

I've had the privilege of hearing this grand instrument put through its paces twice, but not since before the fire of 2001 Great pipe organs like this need to be heard-- and felt-- in person to really appreciate them Their acoustic power is measured in horsepower! So vast is this space that the mighty State trumpet has to be played 2/3rd of a second before you want to hear it at the console Comment from : Tim Stoffel

My favorite Christian holiday My favorite church My favorite organ My favorite hymn This must be my favorite video Comment from : Eric Kaspriskie

The organ is beyond magnificent I wish we could have seen the processional (and edited out the talkers and the one off key singer) It was truly a powerful and glorious work Comment from : Drew Neal

Ian Comment from : Ian Smith

Was here Great Comment from : Arnold Stollar

Thanks for posting! I hope you were singing too! This is one of the only reasons to really stand-tall, take a deep breath, and since "heartily, as unto the Lord" Comment from : BobdaFarmer

Those State Trumpets never fail to give me goosebumps brbrVery interesting fanfares brbrThis hymn when well-performed brings me to tears, even when I'm leading it on the organ on Easter Morning at my own parish churchbrbrAnd yes, Glen Kissel, the persons' singing leaves a lot be desired brbrOnly one comment, singing this hymn at this tempo in that vast church turns things to mud I would have slowed the tempo down considerably Comment from : gmc0422

Thank you for postingbrBRAVO what a wonderful organist and GRAND Organ Comment from : tambrosia

the emotion is evident in the music, and itself, stands alone as a deep part of the whole experience The interludes and fanfares are not played only b/c they're beautiful, which they are The hymn is experienced while a procession of liturgical ministers, led by the cross & (if you're lucky) incense(ever hear the phrase "holy smoke?" church incense is the origin), moves slowly, inexorably toward the altar Music, the scent of holy smoke, and the presence The feeling that u are a part of something that's about to happenthe procession moves with purposeful reverence, as the organ moves into improvisation and adding of pipes, the altar is being recognized as a resident symbol of the sacrifice to come The smoke swirls upward visibly filling the space above the altar THE ORGAN ROARSmoving into the last verse where the choir elevates its descant to join the organ in harmonious celebration! It is breathtaking Comment from : Kent allyn

I love this hymn of Christ and Easter Comment from : Chief Davis Teitelbaum

So sad that the mic has a strong high pass filter Comment from : joeyf504327

C'est du bruit Comment from : MAITRISE NDL

Yes amen jesus christ is risen today Comment from : Lynn Warren

Just LOVE a pipe organ! It brings tears to my eyes ah just beautiful Comment from : Bumble Bee

The Old 1910 Aolean/Skinner organ Don't know how much is playable after the great fire THANK NYC fire department for saving the church Now had THIS been BEFORE the fire recording!!!!! OH MY! Comment from : Alderman Enterprise

SUPERB! Magnificent BRAVO! Comment from : Alderman Enterprise

that is some SERIOUS reverb at the end of the interlude! DDDAAAAYYYUUUMMMM!!!! Comment from : matty jazzy

organ Comment from : Darren Van Zyl

Wonderful; I love it! Comment from : Dan Voight

The people chatting were annoyingso disrespectful It can't wait until after?? Comment from : pyriph

One of the tricks a good church organist learns is while the congregation is singing play the pedals in a kind of staccato way It helps the congregation to feel the pulse/rhythm of the tune and prevents the tune from getting slower and slower Wonderful improv Comment from : Charles Davis

Boy would I love to revoice those en chamades with my F - 250 in the parking lot, it would be in four wheeled drive just for fun Comment from : WAX6428

The tempo is not too fast You play the organ well The only criticism I would have is that your tempo is not steady On the first few verses, you would 'grab' the next phrase a fraction of a second early, imparting the feeling that you were 'rushing' The last verse was most definitely 'faster and faster' Other than the tempo criticisms, excellent hymn playing! Comment from : Michael Hoerig

The f# in measure 18 was a quarter beat fast Comment from : Rheinlander95

Lindo apesar de ser uma catedral protestante e ser um hino protestante mas eu me arrepio toda a vez que ouço Comment from : Gabriel Cavalheiro

блестящий Comment from : Moti Nowrangi

I can picture Almighty God sitting on a golden chair, n all His angels n archangels, n saints, all adoring Him n this sort of music being played Comment from : Rosanna Wiltshire

AWESOME!!!! Comment from : elija416

Why didn't he open the Foundation stops at the end ? Comment from : Ralph Heimburger

Fantastic! - should have a professional recording made of that! Comment from : Ann Savinski

Impressive ! Outstanding performance Comment from : Chris Vee

That is the perfect tempo, although surprising you can manage it in such a large space!brI regret that you can hear a single voice singing, though Comment from : John Robinson

I would actually pay for an album just full of fanfares Comment from : Ringer Adam

I would love to hear this WITHOUT the congregation singing and the very annoying talking in parts!! Awesome organist! Comment from : thxdts

I was at mass on Easter Sunday 1984 or 85, I heard a group playing behind the altar, was it Edgar Winter?brThat's the last time in NY If I come back I will stop inbrThank You Nancy Meurlott Comment from : Nancy M

To this day, this performance brings tears to my eyes How wonderful it would be to be able to hear this in person Comment from : Tim Hamlin

I totally agree! This is not the only recording I heard from there where people are trying to talk over the music! Why the living (beep) do people talk during a service!?!? Especially when music is playing! Stop, listen, and enjoy the moment for the love of the Father!! People from NYC, and Jersey and other big cities are rude hyper and can't stand to sit back, relax, and NOT Talk!! I don't think they know how to! This recording would have been so much better without the talk! Hats off to the organist and his superb playing! Comment from : John Ruiz

Wow, even at St John the Divine people can't shut-the-bleep up Comment from : Contrafactum

Love the interlude and last verse ! Comment from : Jerry

Perfect tempo Too slow -- as many play -- and the place sounds like a funeral This is upbeat and joyful Breathe deep and belt it out! This is worship! Comment from : jcastano

What a powerful opening to a great hymn of Christian faith! Comment from : Grant Leitma

What a rude high tempo Terrible Are the organist scared to miss the train Or something The people cannot sing because it is to fast Comment from : Orionman8

lol Comment from : GraceToast

No doubt this guy is phenomenally talented and a great organist, but guys for God's sakeslow downthe congregation can hardly keep up with you That is just too fast for such an enormous reverb Comment from : David Smith

Great choir and organ but we could have done without the out of tune woman who was too close to the camera microphone  :-( Comment from : kiqw

Wow, for those of us that play on our Allen Organ's in church, it's truly amazing!  It inspires us to get more out of our organs than just the usual stops  Even though obviuosly we couldn't replicate the depth of what was done here Thank you for putting it on You tube  Comment from : Joyce Schultz

Bravo! What a fantastic "treatment" (as Gerre Hancock would say) of the Easter Hymn  I love the balance the CSJD organ has between the fire in the en chamade and the depth in the pedal  One without the other would be too muchbut together they are amazing  Skinner and Quimby knew what they were doing!  Comment from : greg ingotham

This Guy Rocks Comment from : Madeleine Baier

Good job!  Amen! Comment from : Bob Addison

Why does the Cathedral have the mics next to the worst singers!!?? Comment from : Mark Gourley

The hymn is played way too fast for congregational singing in that grand space Comment from : Thomas Mowbray

Where's Dot?? She was really accomplished on that pipework Comment from : RPSteam

Yakitty, yakitty, yak The organ is playing so loud we have to yell! Comment from : Tom Tallis

I would love to know who is talking during the improvisation between verses three and fourno doubt something very important was happening that required immediate discussion The music, however, is ABSOLUTELY glorious This is what worship is about! Comment from : Holden Alee

I am pretty sure a fire came through there when they were restoring the place Maybe this wasn't what it was before, but sounds pretty good to me Comment from : Paul Fretz

Not as warm? You're hearing a "canned" sound on youtube Hie thee to New York and hear it IN PERSON, to get the real sound No alterations in pipe scales or voicing was done by Quimby Any old, fat sound to which you refer may have been part of the 1910 E M Skinner and nobody misses that organ, it all It had many drawbacks Comment from : Organ Pipework

ANOTHER GREAT PRESENTATION BY THIS CHOIR GREAT ORGANIST WORK Comment from : john uhr-henry

Beautiful music Comment from : Steven Mildred

I agree Kent Tritle will not willingly acknowledge what a service he rendered for the substantial number of guest organists (invited by Bruce Neswick) that he "released" from the recitals schedule Comment from : Ben Dixon

Why have that suit the? Comment from : kriszticfr

Heaven forbid the organist show the emotions that the celebration of the Resurrection and the playing of a majestic piece of music generate I second chupa's comment Comment from : Brian Crow

One can even see that the organist has a closed circuit TV on the top of the console so that he can watch the procession AND the music at the same time! Not only this, the improv between stanza 3 and stanza 4 of this hymn is very appropriate in any setting as stanza 4 is doxological with its reference to the Holy Trinity so in honor and reverence to the Trinity, the organist will add some extra brilliance In this case it was 2:30 of this so the procession could conclude Comment from : Brian Crow

This is a seriously great performance of this great hymn I wish was there live to experience it when it happened Comment from : David Jamison

Went to a church service here in 2011 The approximately 8 second reverberation on the organ is simply breathtaking Quite a moving service I plan to go back one day Comment from : wpiv926

I don't need the singing, just give me more beautiful organ! Comment from : missbraun03

I have the new recordingsbut it sounds different Comment from : bombarde1701a

Go to Quimby Organ site and go from there The stoplist is shown and includes the small number of additions in 2008, for which there was no money in 1954 Comment from : Organ Pipework

Unfortunately the organ doesnt sound as warm as it did before the rebuild I dont care what Quimby sayshe made some changes Things were alteredenough to notice that the organ is much more bright I still love this organ very much but miss the old fat, warm sound Comment from : bombarde1701a

The technique is very old, before "your side fo the pond" had a religious identity The English cathedral organists perfected the interstanza improv on metered hymns; the French had been doing it on chant for several hundred years Anglophiles either side of the pond tend to feel cheated if the organist doesn't tart it up at all Comment from : Gradus Quia

Dude, why are you saying this? Cultural thing? "Most Brits"? I used to sing in the choir at Carlisle cathedral and the organist improvises during hymns and in between verses You can't make statements that you don't know are true or not I'm a Dir of Music at a large parish church, I know what it's like having to improvise It can sometimes take up to 3 minutes for the whole procession to get in the stalls Of all the cathedrals/Churches/Minsters I've visited or sang at, they all do it mate Comment from : Vaughn Richardson

Great recording quality Was this just from a camera? If it was very impressive quality Comment from : notredameswarrior1

Is there a cantor at the mic? Hear her voice Comment from : John Morissette

philip: I ( a Canadian Anglican) have been in the Cathedral of St John the Divine in New York Cityit's about a quarter of a mile from the west door to the high altar No wonder some hymn improvisation is needed during the entrance procession! Raymond Nagem is a excellent improv organist in anyone's book Maybe the C of E style is a lot more restrained and refined but it's good to see such exuberance demonstrated by Mr Nagem and the congregation on an Easter Sunday morning! Comment from : dreadnaught90

Fair enough Neither is these reeds "my cuppa tea" either Comment from : organisten

I also like the big, dark reeds on the York, St Paul, King's College organ, etc However, this is not an English organ The dark, opaque sound of English reeds wouldn't work in that room Comment from : TubaMirabilis123

I am not sure I'd want to I agree with the comment Of course it is all personal taste, but I don't like these reeds The flues are lovely however I agree Much prefer the snorting reeds at places like York Minster! Comment from : organisten

Wonderful - just spoiled by everybody chatting away using the organ music as wallpaper music "Oh missis so and so said this and that" "O you don't say" I just wish people would SHUT up! Comment from : organisten
