George Frideric Handel's 'The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba' played on the MAGNIFICENT organ of St Laurenskerk in Rotterdam, by Richard McVeigh. This movement comes from Solomon HWV 67.
This is the arrangement by Noel Rawsthorne with one or two extra bits by Richard.
This fantastic organ was prepared for Hauptwerk by Sonus Paradisi.

*I prefer my NEW recording of this piece:* kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qtpnfsmSuMfTgoU.html

The new recording is indeed fantastic, and perhaps better for appreciating the detail of this beautiful composition, but for me it is with this earlier version that I can actually *feel* the presence of the Queen of Sheba!

WOW! In all honesty, possibly the VERY BEST performance I have heard of this famous piece. When I saw what you were going to play, I admit, I groaned. But .... you did it Richard .... you grabbed my attention 100% and I thoroughly enjoyed it, probably for the first time in yonks. The speed, articulation and registration were, as always, simply spot on. Thank you so much. Tx

Hi Richard🖐🖐great playing of one of my favourite pieces 👍👍after a break of 10 yrs I’m relearning this piece on my 2nd Clavinova CVP 605 - which provides only about half a dozen pipe organ registrations! It’s sonewhat short of the “stops” that an organ provides! It’s my challenge at 81 to get back to enjoying making music!!

Hi Richard, I join Trevor Orme in his evaluation hundred percent. I have grown up with classical music and in particular baroque music in Germany, enjoying some of the most capable and famous interpretors of the world through radio live - and recorded concerts. I must say, that your perfomance is one of the uttermost interpretations I have ever heard. I really enjoyed it very much and I find it to be a kind of measuring bar for any interpretation of this wonderful piece oif music!

@andreapandypetrapan 17 күн бұрын

Dear RV, Thank the goddesses that once again you demonstrate the correctness of sparkling and spry tempi for a baroque masterpiece! As if indeed, Handel were to be found jauntily composing the piece in his head, and espied a particularly elegant young lady, and fondly imaging she might be yet another undiscovered and commercially successful "genius soprano" for Covent Garden, let alone that she might put up with his peremptory and insufferable manners, skips after her with greater alacrity, and with his silver topped cane swinging in his right hand. "Handle in the Strand" indeed. How wrong and comical it is to hear GFH or Bach played as if they were just warming up for the romantic opulence or indulgence of Charles-Camille Saint-Saëns or Charles-Marie-Jean-Albert Widor. Is there a general problem with late romantic French clerical musicians having short names? Love andrea

Seasonal salutations from Memphis aka land of the 3 Bs: BBQ, Beale Street and the Blues. Might you share the name of the anthology, publisher and the arranger? I have one arrangement by Stainton de B. Taylor, Edition Peters, No. 7086 (Hinrichsen Edition No. 7086). From looking at your score (now in 4K) I was trying to figure out which edition it is. I thoroughly enjoy the wide variety of repertoire as well as the spoken dialogue. As for the shoes and lack of polish, I've seen some in far worse condition and have used crazy glue on mine for the bottom of the heels. The "used" looking shoes are a status symbol just like some of our very well worn out academic hood. Be safe and be sanitized. I also enjoy the full, robust registration. Dennis

Greetings from Texas. Yeeesss!! Awesome performance. To the comment or said too “loud”: turn your volume down!! Registration and volume great to me. Your opening talk in your editing room was a nice variation from talking at the bench. As an American I do not understand the Brits reasoning of more torn the barister’s robe, the more battles fought or the more scuffed up the shoes = the more years of performance completed. Jonathan Scott’s shoes are polished AND shined. I appreciate the PIP of pedals. Put some black polish on those shoes!! Scuffed shoes detracts from one’s overall appearance=this Yanks opinion. Your music is fantastic. Thanks, Richard.

Me thinks a previous post of mine (edited if you wish) should be permanently PINNED to the top of each comments section as I see yet another comment concerning Richard's shoes (John from Texas, below, and from others now and again too). Yes, we Brits are often seen as strange by our US brothers and sisters (I admit this as a Brit currently living in Oregon, USA - they probably don't come any stranger than your's truly - please restrain yourselves before commenting on this statement!) and take pride in displaying all the scuffs, rips, beer stains. .. maybe not food stains though .... we have accumulated on certain garments, hats, shoes etc. over the years. So, here is my previous post on the subject : "The answer, my friends, is simple: We who have followed and supported Richard for a while now know that the answer is that every scratch and scuff on Richard's shoes represents a 'special and precious memory' .. I'm sure he could point to each and tell us where it originated ... this one comes from York Minster on such and such a date when ..... Precious memories, then, told in a series of scuffs and scratches, NEVER to be removed through polishing! NEVER!" 🧐😎

Are you in love with Richard McVeigh?

@trevororme4646 3 жыл бұрын

@@xenabellebeest GULP! Not quite sure what you mean, Marja LOL Answer: No, not "In Love" per-se, but rather let's just say that Richard has EARNED my TOTAL respect and admiration for all he does and gives to all of us through his Beauty in Sound work and channels, and there are MANY of us who wish we could attain the same high standards of musicianship. We who are organists, choirmasters, church musicians, composers, performers etc., etc. often LEARN a lot through simply watching and listening to him. He IS brilliant and has gathered together a wonderful 'loving and friendly' crowd of regular followers as a result. So, yes, I suppose one could say Trevor is in love with him, but the word 'love' being defined only as having a deep, genuine respect and total admiration for his talents and achievements. OK? Loved the question. A bit of a challenge that one! xxx

Nifty page-turning at 3.05, but why on earth do you need the score? I've got a dozen 8/9-year old students who have no problem playing this from memory! It's not hard: this stuff plays itself. I start beginners from MEMORY: 1st lesson, the 1st. bar of Fur Elise: (plus of course scales): it usually takes 10/12 lessons to master the first section. Next, Bach's 1st. Prelude (while I play Ave Maria on the violin). Next, if they can stretch an octave, the first mvt. of the "Moonlight" followed by the Q. of S. THEN they learn to read music: no problem. This method WORKS: my 9 children/stepchildren have 35 Grade 8's between them. One was "Violin Girl" earning £300 a night in "Street Scene" in the West End at 9: the STRANGLERS got to no. 2 in the charts with my son backing on-stage aged 19. I myself gave the first British performances of both Khatchaturian and Kabalevsky violin concertos, both learned from memory well into my 80's, plus numerous performances of the Elgar. Try it: it's not hard!!!!!.
