Handel was a bloody genius. Listen to his chords and weep. Brilliant!

[sammydavis]

First time I've heard/seen this piece played on a pipe organ!

[Dogsnark]

The organ was invented for hymns, and hymns played on a great organ are the height of music. Beautiful!

[PoppaYeti]

Never heard this before today and I think the first 2 minutes may be literally the greatest piece of music I’ve ever had the pleasure of experiencing

[thomaswarren]

This is without a shadow of doubt, the greatest piece of music ever written.

[익명-in]

혼자서 연주하는데도 곡이 귀를 가득 채우는 느낌이네요 오르간도 연주자도 참 대단한 것 같습니다

Zadok The Priest is a good song, it's fantastic to hear this version with no words.

[LightWardBlue]

This was my wedding march, fantastic!]

[Tampo-tiger]

Absolutely superb! One of my absolute favourites played exquisitely. A bafflingly beautiful piece of music written in 1727 for George II's Coronation, and played at every Coronation ever since.

[CraigRodmellMusic]

Magnificent. I'm sure Handel would have approved, had he still been around.

[lenwilkinson]

Memories of the Queens Coronation.Such music never leaves me, so uplifting.Where would the worid be without such beautiful music.

[janetgoddard]

Fantastic. One of the finest anthems in my opinion ever written. Love the fabulous introduction.

[SW_]

Thrilled to see people like Jonathan Scott learn this craft - well done for keeping our culture alive!

[SirGawainDF]

This piece by G.F. Handel was rarely, perhaps never, played in Poland during my life, and now I realize how much I missed. The Coronation Anthem is ingenious! And Mr Jonathan Scott performed it at the highest level of mastership.

No way, I found this channel yesterday and I was sad I couldn't find Zadok the priest and they uploaded it today... The coincidence

[sergemarcoux]

Not only Jonathan displays his usual talent, but Tom's filming of this beautiful church is exceptional.

[mirozaninovich]

This was played at StMary's Sydney as my nephew and bride exited the church after the wedding ceremony, just a fabulous piece of superb talent....x

[scottnyc]

I woke up the neighborhood after playing this.

[lenniegouws]

Listening to this on a Sunday morning in South Africa with partial lockdown and no in-person church services. This hits the spot. Manna to my soul.
