J.S. Bach - Toccata and Fugue in D minor BWV 565

[troikagirl]

After watching this amazing man...I've decided to give up playing piano.. (I could only play "Chop Sticks anyway)...he's totally destroyed my confidence.

once every few centuries, a genius born, Bach is one of them amazing peace of music!

[trosdejos]

Fantástico. La interpretación y el sonido del órgano son fabulosos.

Thank you

The best performing ever heard, too.

[MyslZaSiebie]

This is the best performing I have ever heard (so far).

Przepiękne

[thecomde]

it doesnt sound like in D minor, is not in 440hz. ¿why?

[Siegerzkranz]

@thecomde

Old fashioned, Baroque tuning, is my understanding.

[MrPeterJohnston]

@Siegerzkranz Actually - that's wrong. Baroque tuning was actually flatter than todays. Back then your A was around 415 hertz. This is about 465 hertz - far too sharp for Baroque, Classical, Romantic or even todays standards.

Still - that was a phenomenal performance. Bugger me - I want to play it now. All I need is an organ that looks like that... :(

[fube432]

@thecomde It is in d Minor if you look close enough, probably just messed up through the speakers

[thecomde]

@fube432 yes i note that...like the other comment, it's the tunning of the organ, its a semitone up, because it was the baroque style, but the scale is d minor

[jabba987654321]

@thecomde a1= 466,8 Hz at 15° C .. its a baroque organ ;)

[legoguy13]

I read very valid arguments suggesting that this particular piece wasn't written by Bach, or that it's even from the Baroque era. Still, it is a very moving and fantastic piece.

i bet this dude gives phenomenal handjobs

[Purplmonster]

What are those very low notes between 6:16 and 6:20. I wish I could be there to FEEL that bass.

[LazyBastard69]
