Speechless... This was one of the most incredible, beautiful and amazing gifts I've ever recieved from life. Thanks to you both (Bach and toxiconegro). It's a pity that you had your channel closed. Thanks again!
Prelude and Fugue in B minor 544 BWV composed in 1727 for performance in the Academic Memorial service for Saxon Electress Christine Ebhardine, former Queen of Poland that took place in the University Church St. Pauliner in Leipzig on Oct 17, 1727. The organ piece would have been performed as an organ Prelude for Cantata 198 Mourning Ode,[ in the same key B minor]: "Lass,Furstin, lass noch einen Strahl."
@PerrrfictKats Prelude and Fugue in B Minor was composed for this Memorial service and a Presentation copy was made by Bach in autograph, but who this copy was intended for...the question remains. This mourning Canata 198, shares in its opening music the same chromactic harmonies as the organ Prelude/Fugue.
This is my favourite Bach organ piece. I used to hear it when I was a child in a church in the '70's. This interpretation comes very near what I heard in my childhood and ... I wept while hearing this. I am truly grateful!
Who is with me when you hear Bach Organ music or his Hohe miss you got some kinda feelings with God so strong u cant ignore it its happends in the first bar in the first note
A majestic piece indeed, beautifully played at a tempo I was accustomed to in the 1960's when I bought a vinyl LP of Pierre Cochereau playing Bach at Notre Dame. An added pleasure was being able to follow the score as the masterpiece unfolded. Thank you, toxiconegro, for a superb posting.
Oh you're welcome. Thanks for your kind words, I'm glad that you like my videos. And listen to Bach at Notre Dame must be a very intense feeling. Thanks again and cheers.

What does that mean?
Why closed?
Thank you, toxic, for posting these wonderful performances and the scores. MUCH APPRECIATED!
Years ago I loaned out my scores and have not seen them since.
Have discovered that playing fromemory over manyears, a few notes accidentally get changed.
At 4:20, I dislike changing to a brighter manual and ascending the scale to the fugue subject. Do that change AThe subject.

...segue.
anche la fuga ...e' magistrale .... 10 con lode!
Questo e' Bach, finalmente ...
...ha nobilitato talmente tanto lo strumento "Organo" che resta nei millenni a venire l'unico e vero Magister Maximus!
Senza la sua ombra ...
a buon intenditor, poche parole.
Grazie, ad maiora!

schöne Register gewählt
macht es gleichsam meditativ
das nicht zu schnelle tempo ist außerdem gut zum mitlesen auch für nicht-profis ;-)
chosen beautiful registers
and good that one can read the notation
