  • My God, that organ is alive. The whole Earth must vibrate in its resonance.

  • but it's mind-blowingly beautiful, to the eyes and ears...

  • too fast for me.

  • This organ has such a lush sound. And the artist, using this lush sound snd his talent really tames the TaCFDm. This organ, especially the sound of the bass pipes is incredible. So this is a Baroque instrument. Does that mean it's a Baroque style instrument, or that it was built in Baroque times? Because if it was, the I say that there hasn't been any progress in organs since then!

  • FOREVER

    AMAZING!!!!

  • Incredible

  • Sebastian Bach...

  • 9 people are mad because they can't even hit the first note of this piece.

  • What a magnificent instrument I can only add Bravo to the comments of TheOcculus.

  • One of my favorite pieces of all time!  Thank you.

  • Incredible clarity and sound density. Hypnotizyng interpretation. True virtuoso is playing this monumental instrument,

    Thank you for sharing this.

  • fatastich!

  • @The occulusCreo que ésta debe ser la interpretación canónica.Me gusta por su valor didáctico,"Cada órgano tiene su propia voz..como la gente".Pero aquí el organista está sublime y ciertamente perfecto.Para mí,la mejor interpretación subida en You Tube de ésta BWV 565.

  • OMG I'm crying! That has to be the best performance of this I have ever heard.

    Brilliant. Ohh and turn up the speakers :)

    Now going back to play it again

  • 7 Dislikes? They have no soul! Best piece of all time.

  • Who is the organist?

  • This is by far the best baroque song ever written and probably the best song ever written in history in my opinion.

  • @hbmp88 Lots of people share that opinion. For sure for baroque.

  • Mix some Purple Kush with another indica perhaps then stand back about three metres or more while focusing on being slightly myopic and you shall see as I have

    The Face On The Shroud of Turin!

  • mooi geluid van dit orgel

  • Comment removed

  • quisiera ver uno de estos instrumentos al vivo

  • i think he rushed it..

  • @run4urmony No such thing. He nailed it.

  • Amaizing

  • Am I in heaven?!

  • @hbmp88 yes, you are;)

  • @hbmp88 you are in hell xD

  • I came to this page because someone on another posting said this was the best version. I somewhat agree, as far as the quality of the sound. But, if you had this quality of recording with Karl Ricther's version, I think that would top the charts.

  • O meu comentário em Português, só posso dar classificação máxima, a tão boa interpretação musical, órgão bem como o edifício são magnificos.

  • jasny gwint,będe nastepnym razem w Leżajsku to nie będzie wyjścia,trzeba będzie na koncert się przejść,często są?

  • respect fot this song and one of the most beautifel organ ive ever seen

  • I have heard sooo many people play BWV 565, but I've never heard it like this. Truly gives the aural orgasm.

    I usually listen to my music at a modest volume, which is difficult to do through my 1964 GE Tube Stereo (pushing effectively 1200Watts of flat sound responsive all the way down to 14Hz). Like the last two comments, and much to the immense dismay of my downstairs neighbors, I cranked this.

  • @lconrad "Truly gives the aural orgasm."

    Aurgasm? ;-)

  • I listened to this on full blast and it makes you feel like your really there! It's such a beautiful feeling!

  • Quando l'organo ti chiama seguilo e lasciati guidare!

    Splendida condivisione che amo!

    Grazie :)

  • this organ is magnificent in all ways. so great!

  • Where is this fancy organ? I'd like to visit it some day. I am not an architect, but this has such great looks!

  • @Randourum Leżajsk is in eastern poland

  • Creo que no es nada exagerado pensar que este órgano es uno de los mejores que he escuchado.El intérprete,simplemente maravilloso.

  • J ais beau réécouter cette musique a maintes reprises , y as toujours un moment ou je revois les images d " Il était une fois l homme " ...et c est pas plus mal :)

  • I've had the pleasure of hearing this played on three different large pipe organs. It's awe inspiring. Each organ has it's own voice... like people. Listening to these pieces gives us a chance to experience the genius of a group of incredible artists. The performer, the composer, the unnamed engineers and builders of these stunning instruments and the men who engineered and built the buildings to protect and give them the richness of their voice. The performer gives life to the rest.

  • best interpretation!!

  • I really love this piece. I do think that the first movement was played a bit too quickly for my taste.

  • The Organ is so Beautiful.

  • too many artists take a hard edge with this piece and lose the fluidity. this guy gets it. it is a magnificent instrument but i would like to see hands/feet, because it is always mesmerizing to see.

  • I need to get a nice big ass organ installed in my living room.

  • haha you know not to many ppl know this but the Toccata was never ment to be one his musical peices, it was originally written as a warm up

  • @superxsteve Thank you for the wisdom. May I ask you to use proper English and Grammar to explain this? Just a request. Such great music deserves it!

  • @superxsteve No one really knows the entire truth behind 565. The most widely accepted theory appears to be that it a transcription of a lost violin piece. It is also speculated that it was written by Johann Peter Kellner who was close with Bach. Or the version you described in which it was an early work of Bach trying to work around the deficiency of the early Organ he was composing on.

    Who knows, its an awesome piece of music.

  • @superxsteve Not agreeing or disagreeing with you. I just have to ask, Warm up for WHAT?

  • @whst400 Most of what Bach wrote were teaching tools. Toccata means "to show off" and fugue means to "follow"... so , yes this is a "warm up" to get your fingers, and feet, warmed up for that days practicing.

  • amazing

    

  • @youngboyevan1000 how the hell does a hommond sound better??!!!! and this thing is worth three million. all hammonds are worth is to be throw in the dumster. dude seriously you think a hammond sounds better? then you need to go get your ears checked and have your head examined

  • @youngboyevan1000: You wouldn't know a good organ if one was hanging between your legs. Hammond's sound like junk next to an instrument like this one.

  • Love to just crank this up, maximize the screen, sit back and soak it in! Takes me to a very nice place...

  • @jl98584 I did the exact same thing

  • wow, the organ is soo evil looking..i looked at it for a few minutes and I'm scared now...

  • @brightstarinthesky dude no its not. its actually one of the best looking organs ive seen. all the hand carved stuff. it isnt evil.

  • For those interested in this track, it's off #1 Bach Album - I'd recognize it ANYWHERE. The entire 2-CD set is well worth the price.

  • Sounds like E. Power Biggs.

  • Gembalski?

  • who is the organist then please? We all wish to know so we can buy the recording

  • love this

  • This truly an amazing rendition on an amazing organ.

    Who is playing? There are a number of recordings

    Is it

    Andrzej Chorosiński

    Marek Stefański

    or

    Anthony Newman?

  • @TPVORTEX It's neither of them but I still recommend Chorosiński's, Stefański's and Newman's recordings ;) Their interpretations of this Toccata and Fugue are interesting too. Thank you all for your comments!

  • @wedrownik So who did perform this rendition?

  • @TheBigCellist It's off the #1 Bach Album. If the notes are to be believed it's Wolfgang Rubsam?

  • @grindel324 Ah, awesome, how interesting.

  • Whoever played the organ is an absolute master of volume. What a way of handling this often overlooked element in music.

  • Poles know how to make an epic organ. =D

  • Manly tears have been shed over this song & its beauty

  • Thanks,Wedrownik,I do Love Pipe organ music!

  • This piece of music is out of this world. I am so addicted to it, I learned on my own how to play it. I need to learn how to play it all though, I only play it around 5:50. I wished I knew how to read the music though, maybe that way it would be more easier for me. Well, if I could own an organ like that, I would definitely be sitting on it, playing it until dawn, so I can awaken the spirits or some mysterious creature out there in the dark corners. I love the deep bass this instrument creates!

  • fabulous piece of music by bach played wonderfully well too. great posting.10 out of 10.

  • One of my favorite songs, and what an incredible rendition! Thank you so much!

  • Outstanding -- the best Toccata and Fugue in d minor, BWV 565 on YouTube.

  • Does anyone known the chords played at 1:31 and thereafter? Cant figure them out. Or where to find the COMPLETE sheet music for the song?

  • I want that organ in my appartment

  • I think its an Epic piece. Such a force on this organ. It can blew away any other music.

  • To the people who think they know what bass is because they have two 12's in the trunk, go sit in the front pew during a performance like this. This isn't just rattling a license plate, it's making the whole building hum. Even if you can replicate this bass with a set of speakers, the organ still wins by the simple fact that it was built 317 years ago. My Alpine cassette deck isn't even that old. lol

  • @kasteman1 And it's not really a small building neither, now is it ?

  • @kasteman1 That's so true! You ain't heard bass until your sitting on the organ bench and you pull out the subbass stops and press the lowest C. It makes your butt vibrate!LOL! :~)

  • @kasteman1 It's relative positioning though. The "12s" in the trunk are a LOT closer to the listener than the pipes are. You can throw your heart out of rhythm with a pair of subwoofers in your trunk that are turned up high. Also, the air inside your truck is compressed, and you're going to feel the effects of air that is instantaneously thrust upon your body. A church is ported, and doesn't have the same compressive effects that a vehicle does. That being said, a pipe organ is awesome.

  • @kasteman1

    The building IS the organ!

  • Piękny bas mają te organy. Muszę kiedyś się wybrać do Leżajska żeby usłyszeć to na żywo!

  • geweldig, eat een otgel en wat een geluid

  • Played very modestly, boring.

  • juz wiemy skąd MSM Events wzielo intro na ASOT 450 :DD ciary na calym ciele przy takiej mocy :DD

  • Real beauty of sound and the perfection. Thank you a lot for the posting.

  • Прекрасная музыка

  • i love the organ its rich soung i am 22 and making a 180pipe wood pipe organ in oue bacement i hope to put a vid up soon it will never sound this amazing

  • Magnificent! this used to be one of my favourite pieces of music when I was in my teens, my dad was an organist, Bach was his favourite composer ~ wonderful posting, thank you.

  • 1 person was sleeping soundly in the pipes. . . .

  • Someone Must seriously Play this Piece of Music at Mah Funeral and Mah Wedding !

  • beautiful

  • niesamowite brzmienie ,super!!!

  • It must take a genius to spell "genius" correctly. ^_^

  • Bravo, wunderschön !, welche Pracht ! Vielen Dank ! Wspanialy kanal, dzienkuje bardzo ! Favorit !

  • this is one of the funniest song to play !

  • its sad how Justin Bieber has i think around 500 million views in 8 months? and stunning works of art like this only have couple hundred thousand in a few years :(

    The work of Bach will never die!

  • @TheLastMyztery It's also sad that it's become nigh impossible to watch a video on YouTube without at least one person feeling the need to bring him up, failing to grasp the irony of helping extend his fifteen minutes of fame in the process.

  • @DavidfromBA And those references are posted in numerous genres, not just Bach. Other videos across the board are fraught with specific "teen" comparisons. I say let Bach's music stand on its own without regard to his music being better than so and so's. It's completely obvious.

  • @jrssjdca Exactly, well put! My taste in music is all over the map, and I too have found that videos representing just about any genre you care to name seem to yield a lot of comments likening those artists to the latest flavor-of-the-month teen idols. Baffling.

  • @DavidfromBA

    Well, since Bieber was a product or a by-product if YouTube, that is only natural. I don't care for his type of music and couldn't identify one of his song's if I heard him sing it in a video, but if people enjoy his work, let them enjoy it.

    Are we becoming TubeFascists where we have to be told what is good to watch and listen to? My musical interests run the field and include stuff most of my peers have never heard or heard of. You Tube lets me easily locate it and listen.

  • @haitipi I don't think we're talking about the same thing. I don't begrudge anyone their right to like and listen to Bieber if they choose to do so. To the contrary, what I'm tired of is people who bring him up à propos of nothing at all - for instance, posting an anti-Bieber comment on a JS Bach or Rolling Stones video.

  • @DavidfromBA

    Then we are pretty much agreed on that issue. Personally, that Bubblegum music kills me, but my kids like it, so I listen to my music on my PC .

  • beautiful music

  • This should have more views. Best quality recording I've found so far, well played and recored. I like the sound of this particular instrument too.

  • Bach must have been possessed to come up with such an unworldly yet magnificent piece as this.

  • @ExplodingThunder

    Try the Toccata Gothique of Boellman or the Toccata of Gigout

  • Ahhh i luv this!!!!!:D

  • wedrownik, calkiem dobra jakosc, mnie to leci na byle jakich Bose Companion 2 (stare stereo) i chodzi super, taki dzwiek, ze szyby drza, :)

  • that is beautiful, i grew up about a half mile from the basilica and went there every sunday for Mass. This brings back memories. thank you.

  • I can die in peace now.

  • what brand of pipe organ is this?

  • Zapraszam wszystkich do zwiedzenia tego cudownego Domu Bozego, do tej cudownej Bazyliki.

  • Thanks for posting: the performance is one of the best I've heard and the picture is just as majestic as the music. Thanks again!

  • I can't stop crying, and this is isn't even my favorite version.

    Trying to use words to describe such otherworldly beauty is just ridiculous.

  • Jestem polakiem i jestem dumny ze swojego kraju!

  • NOW I'M GOING TO HAVE NIGHTMARES

    DUNCAN

  • I am in awe! Thank you for posting this!

  • Amazing clarity of sound

  • this organ totally looks like Jesus' head ;]

  • Anglo catholic all the way !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • what a wonderful instrument and a great performance - thank you

  • tHE PICTURE THAT WAS USED IN THE VIDEO, WHAT IS IT?

  • @rulerq1 It's an organ.

  • @rulerq1

    It's the organ being played in this video. Whether or not this is a picture or the actual live video, i'm not sure. I couldn't believe it at first, I thought this was a view of a beautiful pipe organ, not THE pipe organ.

  • I love Toccata and Fugue, I wish I could see it being played on this amazing organ.

  • Bach was Lutheran . And this is good . GREAT !!!

  • @episcopalcatholic Orthodoxy Rulezzzzz....!!!!!!!!!

  • Wonderful sounding instrument. Who is the organist?

  • Look at what we have created. what god Has created. I mean weather you believe in god or not. the christian faith has spawned some of the worlds most aw striking Art. Just look at this musical gate to heaven and Hell!

  • @thecopykidofthestarz Actually, I believe JS Bach was Lutheran.

  • @apc1no look at the demos and angels on this master piece.

    same principal. or origin I should say.

  • @thecopykidofthestarz Yea they are pretty. When you say "demos," do you mean "people?"

  • @apc1no no, why? I see some nasty looking faces.

  • @thecopykidofthestarz You can see all that? Idk I thought "demos" was Greek for "people" (like democracy = government of the people), and I couldn't figure out how "demonstration could fit in there.

  • @apc1no you will have to have seen one, to see them in there,...O_O

  • @apc1no democracy is from Greek, but demonstration is from Latin - monstrare, to show + de, from or about: "showing [something] about [something]"

  • @kenmoore137 Thankyou that makes way more sense lol.

  • AMAZING!

  • Where is this beauty located? Poland?

  • @6Memento6Mori6 Yes.

  • @0Chancellor0 I could tell by the language being spoken in most of the comments. lol

  • świetne organy, najbardziej mi się podoba ich unikalny dzwięk pedałowy

  • The Baroque style of architecture is by far my favourite

  • Toujours, toujours émouvant, merci à l'organisme et bravo pour cette facture d'orgue.

    Michel Boulé, Québec Canada

  • beautiful

  • Beautiful

  • wow look at the freakin organ! that thing is awesome.

  • OMG this song is so beautiful! I wish people my age would appreciate music like this.. I am a 21 year old college student. And I love this song.

  • Glad to see that this survived the bombings of both World Wars.

  • Super!

  • Chciałbym usłyszeć ten utwór grany na tych organach przez Karla Richtera. Niestety już nie usłyszę.

  • i really like the pedal sound in this organ

  • start with this one in MUS100 introduction to Baroque music.

  • A beutifuf piece played on a beautiful organ

  • it is incredible!!!

  • This Studzinski organ could have been included for the study that E. Power Biggs recorded for Columbia Masterworks, playing the Toccata, BWV 565 Nr. 1, on several organs throughout Europe. Its tone compares well to that of the H. W. Flentrop on the eventual album.

  • @bcschmerker Thank you all for your comments. I’d rather call it Glowinski’s organ, its website explains it why. E. Power Biggs sadly never played this organ. He was a great organist.

  • @bcschmerker I Really wish I could hear this organ in person, must be an experience.

  • Este organo es increible en sus registros.

    Desde luego, el organista del "International organ festival",es increible en el tempo,el fraseo y la interpretacion.

    No es una herejia colocarlo a la altura de Walcha o Richter.

    ¡Sublime!.

  • What a great sound!!! And also and incredible piece of art!!! :o)

  • I don't like that Mixture at the ending. Great performance though

  • is there any1 that can tell me more songs like this one played on pipe organ? i'm looking for a slow song with fast parts like this one, but with an dark and eerie feeling just like this songs gives you

  • @APPOCALYYPS3 Try Toccata nr 5 by Widor

  • Best rendition of BWV 565 I've ever listened to, and I've listened to a lot of them. Organist should be congradulated on this one. Truly masterful.

  • Thank you for posting

  • @LaurentziuRo Glad you like it. Thanks for comments.

  • Uno tra gli organi più belli che io abbia mai visto! Beato chi gli stira le gambe!!!
