We were privileged to be in attendance for this particular performance and were absolutely mesmerized at this wonderful performance! Richard Elliott is a world class performer. Add to his extensive talents the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and the Orchestra at Temple Square and you have an event that will stay in your memory for years to come.

I love to listen to pipe organ music. The Tabernacle Organists are great musicians. Love to listen to and watch them perform these solos.

I'm always so amazed that Mr. Elliott makes playing look so effortless

[nelsonnwachukwu]

I finally learnt how to play this piece. But halfway into the song, my fingers hurt bad. Good job Mr Elliot!

[CaptAA]

Nice to FINALLY have the organ shown off at the Tabernacle!!!!   Always seemed to play "second fiddle" to everything else over the years.   Still love the Choir, but have waited to hear this organ in it's splendor for a long time!!!

[IvarsBezdechi]

An absolutely incredible performance...Johann Sebastian Bach is smiling and enjoying Richard Elliot's performance.

Dr. Elliott brings the organ to life with his masterful technique and musicality. It has been my pleasure to hear him several times in person, and he took time from his busy schedule to demonstrate and give a tour of the Mormon Tabernacle Organ. Truly one of the finest. EJL - St. Paul, MN

One of my favorite Bach organ cantatas as played by a superb organist!

[teunisjansen]

It is very beautiful to see playing John Elliot on this magic organ. Sometimes fireworks on organ and other times he can give you peace in your hart. God bless you.

Organist, Richard Elliott here is superb. My wife and I have a nick name for him: Happy Feet! That's because we watch his feet 'dance' all over the base pedals with such precision and technique. Always wonderful to hear and see him perform.

[sharaharden]

AMEN! Amazing talent! Thank you for sharing that inspirational music!

[georgefelty]

Richard Elliot is one of my favorite organ soloists and does a superb rendition of this Bach cantata. I have also played this arrangement.

😮 qué instrumento tan complejo parece el órgano! No solo sus teclados, pedales, todos esos controles de cada lado, y además saber una partitura compleja de memoria. El maestro Elliott es un genio 😮

[mattbod]

Magnificent organ and playing. It's great to see another organist performing from memory too.I am a poor reader but once I have learned a piece I can ditch the score too.

[alandavis]

The speed of his fingers from about the mid point to the end...WOWZA

[NYSWWC]

He did a great job on this piece. I have watched a lot of talented organist try and play this and they barely get through it

[edwardswilliamsj]

Qué interpretación! Bella, difícil, e impresionante.

[jmariliou]

You have a fantastic organ. You have a really good tecnic, . Why don't you use both together?!?!?

[scottdunavent]

Not as exciting as Diane Bish but still a good performance.  Much better than Paul Jacobs!
