HYMNS SPHERES/ Keith Jarret/ MP3

NO LONGER AVAILABLE.

I’d love to hear this. Very pleased with how much interest in this instrument is being drummed up by Zimmer’s wonderful score. Along the same lines, check out Paul Halley’s Nightwatch. Similar in premise: mystical late night improvisations at the organ at NYC’s St. John The Divine.

Sounds interesting – I also like the organ music from August Rush.

I would love to get a listen to this double disc. Remember hearing pieces of it in "Sorcerer". Thanks SO SO much in advance.

Keith Jarrett is great!
I love him from his days with Miles Davis.
Thank you for your upload, my Sweet & Noble friend.

Thanks Link please.

Thanks, please!!!!

Please and Thank You

I’m definitely interested. Please and thank you so much.

Caught up… enjoy… and report back.

Would love this! Thanks!

Dear Phideas1,
I would also love the link!
Thanx in advance,
szucsy

Phideas, after you posted in the Interstellar thread about this piece I immediately got curious about it. Could I also have a link, please?

I think you will find this very intriguing, especially since this is all improvisation…. but it has always been the the last two tracks that attracted me the most… though the others take you deep inside the mind of the artist and the construct of the organ.

Hi Phideas1,
link received.Thank you very much again – it’s very kind of you sharing with me/us.
Everything (like, rep. etc.) was sent by me – as usual and friendly.
I also remembered the exerpts from Friedkin’s "Sorcerer" (The Wages of Fear) using – as I remember – ‘3rd Movement’, and it’s great now listening again this piece as well.
All the best for you [Lovely Person :-)] and cheers,
szucsy

Link recieved. Thank you very much for the upload and I can’t wait to hear it!

I’d like to listen to this too! I love the organ.

I’ve always heard good things about this but have never gotten around to actually hearing the music. Link, please. And: Thanks!

I’m very interested. Please send me the link. Many thanks in advance!

Would you share the link?
Thank you in anticipation.

From the CD liner notes:
"No overdubs or technical ornamentations were utilized, only the pure sound of the organ in the abbey is heard. Many of the unique effects, although never before used, were accomplished by pulling certain stops part way, while others remain completely open or closed.
Amazingly, baroque organs have always had this capability."
The pure sound, as channelled by the mind, hands, and feet of one of the great improvisers of the age. When “Hymns/Spheres” was first released in 1976, some critics made comparisons with the organ music of Ligeti, Messiaen and Reger, but time has shown this to be an essential expression of Jarrett’s creativity, original to the core.

Track No 10 [Spheres (9th Movement)] is amazing!

I would very much like to hear this album as well! Thank you in advance for the generosity, Phideas1!

Yes…. this really is a standout recording that will take the organ and YOU to special, distance places (where as the Zimmer Interstellar score is simply a background noise… not even music). Jarrett experimented, as Petros mentions, with this ancient instrument to create sounds and moods that can baffle and yet fascinate; creating a score for not a film but for your imagination.

Again, reactions would be welcomed. This music has been waiting a long time for so many of you to discover.

(and, seems no one noticed the additional little bit of musical sweetening I included)

This sounds incredibly fascinating. May I, too, have a link, please?

link received! thanks so much for the share

And, seems no one noticed the additional little bit of musical sweetening I included.

Of course I noticed it. I was ready to upload the whole set (6 discs)
of "Sun Bear Concerts" in FLAC, but the size (1,51 GB) was prohibitive.
Thank you very much for the first part of the "Kyoto Concert".

As I replied to you in the Interstellar thread, I was rather disappointed by this recording. Jarrett is a pianist, not an organist, and it sounds as though this prevented him from utilizing the pedals of the instrument. Or is it just that the tinny sound quality has castrated the effect of that most defining aspect of the pipe organ? Either way, the recording is quite lacking in any real "foundation", and that tiring abundance of treble and lack of bass takes something away from the experience, as interesting as the music itself may be. Ultimately seems more of a curio than a satisfying pipe organ experience. I’ll be spinning Hans’ score, and Paul Halley’s Nightwatch, for my fix of "non-classical" organ music for decades to come. But, thank you for sharing said curio.

You have posted your opinion twice. We get it. You do not like this music.

Well you asked for reactions, and didn’t respond in the other thread so I assumed perhaps you had missed it. Good grief. So much for the "lovely person" moniker.

Would love a listen. Apparently some of this music was used in the movie Sorcerer along with the Tangerine Dream score.

Poodles.

I am a lovely person… but it must be apparent to everyone here after all these years I do not tolerate fools… and you have , as I stated, made your point. It is a valid one. It resembles the one at the top of your head. 😉 Now, do you want to keep this up or let the issue be?

I don’t care nearly enough to keep it up – I was, however, not going to suffer your own foolishness quietly, as I’m sure you will understand. You’ve made your point about not liking Hans’ latest score several times over as well, so I’ll consider us even. 😉

Oh no. Do keep this up. Because, as you can see, due to idiots such as yourself I tend to pull threads.

I hope everyone showers you with their appreciation for a continued pettiness.

Wow.

There’s definitely pettiness here, but I don’t think it’s coming from where you think. Anyway, expect no further response from me, lovely person.
