J.S. Bach - BWV 572 - Fantasia G-dur / G major

[Arsenate22]

OMG - 1:30 hits you like a BRICK when you first hear this... but not painfully, just shockingly GORGEOUS.

Bach is the master of harmony!

[Anarchemitis]

Love the plot twist

[BAxitorCH]

Thanks Bach..

[zoonambulo]

Gloriosa!!!

[lluvank]

i can play it...but not as fast *sigh*

[SuperBabel2]

GRANDIOSE...D.BABEL

[gothips]

please dont compare bach and the god, bach was something else that god couldnt imagine ;)

[TribZMusix]

As a 17 year old organ player, i am still young and have to learn alot

but this is one of the pieces that i will always remember for its greatness

[AzimuthProductions1]

@TribZMusix Well, I'm also 17 years old and I also play church organ, but I think it's easy enough for me.

[EpolontDS]

i started to cry at 1:33 ;)

without doubts...Bach is the best composer in the history of humanity.



[RemovdSande11]

best sounding and interpretationt that I heard of this piece yet!

[faithandarts0]

There are no words for a masterpiece like this. How can anyone prefer, or even just enjoy pop music, once you've heard a piece like this! I still can't understand that. Bach = one of the reasons to be alive.

@trespire Bach music will live forever, in this plan or in the other.

[thegoddescomposer]

Bach the creator of the Holy spirit of music

God the creator of the holy Universe

[trespire]

Bach has left us so many gifts to enjoy. Bach will most likey be remembered for a very long time to come. His memory legacy will continue to be with us, and live on for many future generations.

[poopingeneral]

Ich habe nicht gehort das leider vor :-D! sehr gut toxic 5*****

[Nguli34689]

No disrespect intended, but I think that Marcel Dupre was, is, and always will be the best organist ever.

[poopingeneral]

@Nguli34689 best organist ever? hahahah your funny, Bach was the best organist ever ;-D p.s. Merry Christmas

[Nguli34689]

@poopingeneral Well, you got me there! lol. Poor choice of words on my part at my first try, but I do think that Marcel Dupre was the best organist alive of the first half of the 20th Century. Yes, J.S. Bach was the best organist of his time and is still today. Dupre would not play his Fantasia if this was not so. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you as well.

[poopingeneral]

@Nguli34689 Dupre, Widor, Guilmant, Bach, there all exceptional composers, especially Bach. Only Bach could of conjure up such a divinely moving organ piece like this. ;-)

[Nguli34689]

@poopingeneral True, I remember listening to this very piece during one of life's heavy ordeals. The sound was able to still my mind arouse inner peace. What Bach heard in his inner mind and transmitted it into the future to us via ink and paper will continue to have an effect on humans. In my case, I have a sizable record collection dating as far as 80 years. I was listening to Dupre at St. Sulspice. I hope to find another organist and I think I will. Thank you for writing. Happy New Years 2U.

[poopingeneral]

@Nguli34689 Dupre was an interesting organist, kind of like our Virgil Fox here in America. Dupre has a very unique style of his own, just as Fox did. I would argue Dupre's best performances are when he was a much older man, especially the recording of Crucifixion from Symphonie-Passion, and believe it or not he was 79 years old when he made this recording!!!

Thank you for your kind thoughts, and may you have a Happy New Year yourself! :-D

[Nguli34689]

@poopingeneral I like the way both this artist and Dupre have made the bass grow richer in color during the second movement of this piece. The third movement of this Fantasia is like listening to the voice of the wind (an in a way, it is). I also like artists who are capable of setting the imagination aflame. It's a shame I haven't had time to make a contrast with Virgil Fox, but I will. Many thanks for the suggestion here. It is always appreciated. Good health to you and yours for New Year.

[SuperDortmunder]

Also meine Fensterscheiben sind alle zerbrochen. Ich hoffe, Du bist haftpflichtversichert. ;-) Ich finde die Interpretation gut. Oder?

[dakm1986]

Eine sehr schlechte Interpretion dieses Stücks, die Bilder hängen noch an der Wand und die Fensterscheiben sind auch noch heil, das heißt die Bude hat noch nicht genügend gewackelt.. Scherz bei Seite. Wunderschön und ausdrucksstark gespielt, außerdem hat die Orgel einen schönen Klang. Danke für's hochladen! :-)

[rbunbury]

The performance as well as the organ are superb. I particularly like the flexible winding of the instrument.

[meyerchen86]

at 4:13 theres a contra B in the pedals. what did sebbo try to say with this?;)

[bubooooc]

Danke fürs Hochladen der Musik und der Note! Das wird der Orgonist in meiner kirchlichen Hochzeit spielen! :)

[87initial]

Tout simplement parfait.....merci !

[IDidntComeUpWithName]

How can Any1 Create Such A Sublime MAsterPiece. Im just Speechless. The INtro + The Ending makes my Soul Fly.

[toxiconegro]

@IDidntComeUpWithName

If you believe it or not, but this one was one of Bach's early works ;-)

[IDidntComeUpWithName]

@toxiconegro yes ? I always thought that he wrote the Bwv in the number"s Order. Its very Amazing. I cant tell which are early and later written Music, everything is SO Perfect.

[LittleStarShineMyr]

@toxiconegro

he wrote the passacaille and fugue at the age of 22 or 23, it is so unbelievable that when I was practicing it at the same age and it dawed to me, I started shaking all over and could never finish playing, how can one compose perfection????

[turbonelli]

Whaow!

[gilles2777]

BWV 572 - "The Ascension of Jesus Christ" (FOR ME!)

[ewokmusic]

@gilles2777 Hi hi,,, just to check with u, "The Ascension of Jesus Christ is interpreted by you ya??

cos i don't remember seeing this title give to this BWV 572 song...:))

[gilles2777]

@ewokmusic NO!.. i have give this "nick"name .. at this composition. When i listen this music.. I imagine .."The ascension" of Jesus Christ.. I IMAGINE!

[gilles2777]

sì, ci siamo.. questa è "L'Ascensione (di Gesù Cristo)" secondo

J.S. Bach. Ma la migliore esecuzione rimane quella di Anton Heiller.. ma questa è molto simile e pertanto ben eseguita. Esecuzione molto buona.. per sembrare un "Ascensione".

[PINHAS38]

The end is fabulous.

[PINHAS38]

Fantastic!

[SuperDortmunder]

A great piece and played very well! Fantastic!
