Bravo. Best performance of the Toccata and Fugue in D Minor. This is perfection. Why does everyone else feel the need to race through this wonderful piece? Playing this as fast as you can takes so much away from this piece that it does this work of art an injustice. Bravo Diane.
I don't have the 'literalist' attitude that Biggs had. for most of the ime since Bach's death the BWV565 has been played Interpretively. It is only recently in history the strict transcription has been enforced. That was instituted by Toscanini, Schweitzer and others because they good reason to believe that the 'true and original ways' would; Nyrigazy was a paraiah and only Hollywood studios would hire him. Besides, these master can have it their own way and not bore us. Its Show Business.
I saw her on Tv, and had to find her- that's awesome that I found this video- but the one I'm looking for- she was in France and playing all the organs at all the important churches & was filming awesome scenery- does n anyone know of this video?
I'm incredibly envious of the team that recorded/witnessed this performance. The internet will never replicate the experience of sitting in these echoing halls...
@madhatt3r111 so true- i was lucky enough to see her play years ago- it was truly an experience i will never forget!!! When people asked me-how was it the performance? i told them , i felt as if i was sitting in heaven..... and told them..it can not be explained in words; you must experience it for yourself. she is truly gifted.
Wow! That cathedral resonates forever. I'm sure Diane had her work cut out for her playing that beast. Like 1104eoak said, it takes a bit of strength to play a tracker, especially if you have a lot of stops pulled. If you don't press the key down fully, it's liable not to sound the pipes properly and be slightly out of tune one way or the other. Playing a 2 or 3 hour concert on one of these would be sheer torture, LOL! Nice job Diane... oh and your friend Wilma S. says hi. :))
Yes...Diane is the biz...and I know many of her interpretations.... but HERE...she has no feel...she is simply going through the rigors of this instrument:)
@maadmaestro Let's say, with so many years of experience playing pipe organs like her... a simple bwv 565 turns out to be kind of ... cliché, if you know what I mean.
The King of Amaaaement is correct. This is a "tracker" organ...no pistons. If there are more changes than can be handled by the three keyboards, normally two trained musicians stand on either side of the organist and set the stops as needed. Also, watch her fingers, this is NOT an electronic organ. The keys open the pipes by directly pulling on wires that control the pipe openings. You really have to have strength to play one of these organs. Congrats and all admiration goes out to her.
Hi Ms. Bish - wow, so cool that you have your YT channel here. I remember seeing you perform various times over the past (ahem) years - the first time I think in the 70's at Anthony?? KS, and then several other times in Wichita, KS, usually at UMC. My mom went to school with you in High School. I'll let her know about your channel!
great technique and wonderful sound! Love the instrument with its draw stops at each side - assume this would have been very much the sort of organ that Bach himself played - so stop changes are difficult without an assistant!
Who ever the 19 people are that decided that to thumbs down this video can not fully appreciate the rare musicality and distinction of diane bish and the complexity of this polyphonic piece and the over all voice of the organ and the meaning of the composition its composer wanted to portray.
@JapaneseBox7 No criticism intended but two minor and humble points here. Polyphonic simply means consisting of many notes or sounds so I hardly think that the reverse term "monophonic" would be fitting therefore making the term "polyphonic" somewhat redundant. Also, any name, surname and family begins with uppercase letters. You did make a very fine point, however.
Sir(s): If I may, at this Date and Time state here and attest to the full how fine this Sense of Music is in this Concert performed with such an Accomplished American Lady in the Personage of Ms. Diane BISH altogether of the candle-lit setting in HAARLEM, THE NETHERLANDS. I would think there shall not much to out-do nor rival the truest work and commitment of this Most Accomplished Musician of Our Time. Thank you. Have a Nice Day. Godspeed. --JAMES HOWARD DAY (JR.), "LeJean" SATX 78202 U. S. A.
@TheAsclepius Depending on the organ if you just pull out a very few stops, it doesn't noise nearly so much. I practice when no one else is in the building. But yes mistakes are very LOUD!
She is great! This organ has a really warm and sweet sound not too aggressive like other organs do... and of course the church "natural reverb" adding so much depth! wish i was there experiencing it live!
An organ shoe is the pedal that is mounted on the lower backboard and is used to control the volume among other things. An organist also wears special shoes to play the pedal keys Can't do it with high heels.
lol, i remember watching her live at the college i went to. she did this crazy song that had her doing glissandos with the foot pedals. it was AWESOME!
Truly a master's work on BWV 565, taking into consideration both the organ's capabilities and the long, complex reverberation of the Bavokerk's sanctuary.
Wonderful performance, although she played a rather eccentric mordents at the very beginning. (For all those who would retort, I've played this piece since I was in my teens).
well! this woman, this lady if I may say so. not only talented, with years of experiance bejind her. has other talents. like a good spokes person. and refined up bringing. she takes my breath away.
Wow! This is great!!! I've heard different interpretations of this piece. I wish I could get the sheet music to it. I play the organ, and it's not as easy as it looks. Alot of pedals and keys!!! I really like this version, it's a good one. There are more too.
when i hear this its about life and death and the experience of living specially in that age life flows troughout those organ pipes as if the player is leeched of its soul this piece is better than all music together in 2010 years its untouchable what a magnificent genious
oh my fucking hell my bones are vibrating too this master piece this broad is rocking correctors can fuck off and try too do a better job cause you cant because this chick is chosen your a minor this is past divinity or hell a worrld master piece beyond centuries
When you think about it, it's the reverb that makes this piece known to people. When they hear it they think of a humongous pipe organ with all that sound.
I suppose you are thinking that I was talking about a "transcription"? Well, no, of course it was written for organ and this IS an interpretation, and a sad one :P
(interpretation= for example, personalizing a piece)
because the sad emotion she puts into the peice helps people to realise what its all about lol. she puts forward the perfect sad tone for this peice :).
Hmmmmm... It's just that she sort of "staccatoes" som parts... like in the beginning. I think it's supposed to be more like "dahdahdah" than "dah... dah dah...", you know? And the thing right after it(0:28) is way too fast gone. And after that, it's pretty bad. The rest (including the almost uninterpretationable fugue) is ok, except the part that is like 0:28 of course, blah.
Oh to be in that church and hear this piece, on that organ in all its glory (and to see that organ). Must be simply amazing. Too bad Diane's video quality wasn't the best. I love her show.
Déjà qu'elle ne joue pas bien sur SON orgue, c'est encore pire ailleur! De plus, il semblerait que la transmission mécanique lui fasse perdre ses mauvaises habitudes... Pour une fois qu'elle joue lentement!!! Ou est-ce simplement parce qu'elle n'a aucun talent!!!!!
I'm just not getting the sensation that everyone's describing. It makes me feel culturally deprived, and therein, a bit sad. Nonetheless it's still a beautiful piece.
It's haunting, no doubt about it. Its sheer power is unique. When people say they've listened to this dozens of times and still get chills, then that has to say something about its impact. I was in my early teens probably when I first heard it and it definitely made an impression.
This organ was actually played by Mozart when he was 10. And in the story Moby Dick, the author writes:
"Seeing all these colonnades of bone so methodically ranged about, would you not think you were inside of the great Haarlem organ, and gazing upon its thousand pipes?"
It just doesn't sound the same playing the first three notes as quarters rather than sixteenths. Other than that very minor quibble, this was magnificent.
Teyze başta kendini kaybetmiş de geri bulmuş sonradan :D Teyze dediğimiz de benden genç :P Maşallahı var, ne diyek:D Böyle bir teyzemiz olmadı ki :D Amatör çalışıyoruz :D
Ama good dediğin gibi:D Good is good :D Pardon, nice, nice is good :D
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Important chord are too short, fast notes are too slow and heavy (in toccata). In fugue good hands, but too legato in pedals. Disturbing 32' reed in the pedal. End is too fast. 65%
I`ve never heard her playing organ music that does not belong to the romantic era... Well, I expected more from her, as far as articulation is concerned. But the stops are combinated very nice.
I have followed her carrier. and this lady deserves recognition. not only out standing performance, skill. but great personalitty. beautifull woman. Diane Bish. from the bottom of my heart I salute you.
This just beyond belife. I mean enough that the organ she is playing on is bigger than my house, but the peice is just so monserous to play by ones self. She is literally using her whole body to play. I feel over matched on my tuba.
This particular organ is well-matched to a cathedral sized for about 5,000 persons; Bish registered this instrument to take advantage of the sanctuary's size here, much as did E. Power Biggs on the D. A. Flentrop at Busch Hall, Harvard University, when recording BWV 565 for Columbia Masterworks.

I'm just not getting the sensation that everyone's describing. It makes me feel culturally deprived, and therein, a bit sad. Nonetheless it's still a beautiful piece.

This song used to scare me when I was younger. A very powerful piece of music.

It's haunting, no doubt about it. Its sheer power is unique. When people say they've listened to this dozens of times and still get chills, then that has to say something about its impact. I was in my early teens probably when I first heard it and it definitely made an impression.

This organ was actually played by Mozart when he was 10. And in the story Moby Dick, the author writes:
"Seeing all these colonnades of bone so methodically ranged about, would you not think you were inside of the great Haarlem organ, and gazing upon its thousand pipes?"
What a piece of history!

It just doesn't sound the same playing the first three notes as quarters rather than sixteenths. Other than that very minor quibble, this was magnificent.

Important chord are too short, fast notes are too slow and heavy (in toccata). In fugue good hands, but too legato in pedals. Disturbing 32' reed in the pedal. End is too fast. 65%

I`ve never heard her playing organ music that does not belong to the romantic era... Well, I expected more from her, as far as articulation is concerned. But the stops are combinated very nice.

This just beyond belife. I mean enough that the organ she is playing on is bigger than my house, but the peice is just so monserous to play by ones self. She is literally using her whole body to play. I feel over matched on my tuba.

This particular organ is well-matched to a cathedral sized for about 5,000 persons; Bish registered this instrument to take advantage of the sanctuary's size here, much as did E. Power Biggs on the D. A. Flentrop at Busch Hall, Harvard University, when recording BWV 565 for Columbia Masterworks.

Although Ms. Bish's playing is always amazing, her segue from Toccata to Fugue here is HEAVENLY!!!!
To me, as well as countless others, Diane Bish rules!!!!

Unusual opening phrasing, but a good way of dealing with the amazing reverb of the building.
