LAST EDITED ON Sep-26-20 AT 00:57 AM (EDT)
 
It's like the music gods specifically created this man's body of work as a personal gift to me.

EDIT: Since I made that post I've explored the rest of the Scott Brothers' YT channel, bought a bunch of their CDs, and generally become a huge fan of the whole operation. Tom, the younger brother, is a talented pianist in his own right, and also the video and sound guy, so even when he's not on screen, he's making the channel happen. Also, and it's not weird for me to say this, the rapport they have when they're playing duets makes me slightly wistful about being an only child for one of the very few times in my life.

They're good lads, is what I'm saying. If you're at all into the sort of music they do, or even think you might like to be, dive in. I particularly recommend their harmonium playlist for a look at a thing I had no idea was a Serious Concert Instrument.

Also, this is my favorite of their piano duet videos, because I love the staging. I mean, I know they had to arrange it in advance and set up the cameras and all, but I love the impression that two somberly dressed young men just walked into a piano store, played this piece, and then left. :)

Sounds fantastic. The sort of music you can feel in your own internal organs ;)

Can anyone count the fingers? I'm sure he's got more than most people do...

Just FYI, in the hope that my original post may have led to me not being the only Scott Bros fan on the boards:

Jonathan will be streaming a concert from Évreux Cathedral in France at 2 o'clock (Eastern time) this (Saturday) afternoon, following on from the one he did a couple of weeks ago at Propsteillirche St. Mariae Geburt in Kempen, Germany, which I totally didn't think to post about before it happened.

Since it's looking more and more like the UK will be spiraling back into viral lockdown as the autumn wears on, we may not get many more of these European dates, although I'm sure he and Tom will keep performing from their usual haunts in greater Manchester as they did during the spring/summer phase.

Holy schnike! Need to track down more of this, but it sounds a lot like something akin to when the two full time ragtime piano players at Disneyland proper got together and did 4 handed piano stuff!@!!!!

The next Jonathan Scott stream will be this Saturday at 2 PM Eastern. In honor of the 250th anniversary of Ludwig van Beethoven's birth, he'll be performing Beethoven's entire Fifth Symphony in an arrangement for solo organ, on the organ* of the Basilica of St. Lambertus in Düsseldorf, Germany.

I've been eagerly anticipating this one since they mentioned in a tweet a while back that Jonathan was doing an arrangement of the whole symphony for this anniversary. There is an existing video of him performing just the first movement, which is of course the most famous part, but to me the fourth movement is really where it's at in that symphony and I'm really looking forward to hearing what he does with it.
