BWV 530 sonata VI third movement

[DainGerrUsss]

OK. He is playing all of the notes, and it is somewhat musical. BUT....WHY the Zimbelstern, and WHY the cornet stop?? OK. Musical "decisions", maybe, but PROBABLY not appropriate for a Bach trio sonata movement. There must be SOMEONE who agrees with me. If not, well, who cares.

[SIRC0L0RS]

I always feel happy listening to the organ triosonates

[sean82091]

Before it played, there was a comical sound of chiming after he pulled a stop tab. It's in G sharp major...I think:).

[Classicalguy12]

Beautifully played, one question, I'm a harpsichordist, and am curious if the console manuals of this organ are the same size/key size of the harpsichord manuals? Just wondering, thanks for the info!!

[w4w3w2w1]

@Classicalguy12 I play the harpsichord too ( take a look at my videos) and I can tell you, usually organ manuals are the same size, but not always. Older organs(1800 -) tend to be similar to harpsichords, newer organs (1850+) tend to have manuals similar to piano ones.

[Classicalguy12]

@w4w3w2w1 Yeah, Thanks for the info, they look like harpsichord size, the older organs. I'm an organist as well, but I play on modern larger organs, that have like you said the piano-similar size keys. Thanks for responding, this is something I have always wondered. I would love to have access to an older organ, but unfortunantley I do not. And I will check out your videos :)

Re-sun glasses

Due to the confusing Sicilian nature of his attire:the mafia have put a hit out on him

[techyesboy]

Amazingly done. I just love everything about Bach and the organ

[GUARDONISSIMO1]

...oh my god....

[sauterio]

Buena performance!

[mdeonx16]

It sounds really happy, I like that :3

[kerllvonnegut]

It would better perhaps to have a camera not too virtuosa (too muche mobile) but fixed on the true virtuoso, M° Whiteley

[hyperseauton]

I believe this is taken from a German series of Bach's complete organ works played while introducing different organs as its main focus, not with focus on the artist or the interpretation.

This is shall be no excuse, just an explanation.

[3NUNS]

@bachluthology2 Take the fourth letter of the alphabet and then the 22nd and then the fourth again, and there's your DVD !

[paul260478]

I never heared of a stop that plays a set of bells when the ogan is played. Nicely surprising.

And it sounds well together.

thanks!

[mortson978]

who is the calcant?

[tippymugs]

omg, i'm lol w/my bff--ttyl--

[RobertoFasciano]

Bravo, great video and performance!

[Halfbloodalchemist]

I just love the organ. it has such a life and a sense of personality when it is played. It takes on the emotion of the piece, and the reverbertion is just wonderful! Beautiful!!!

[PerrrfictKats]

It looks like it,s breathing; the organ, Like DR. Frankenstein said..."It,s AlIVE!!!"

[Brandotuomikoski]

I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS VIDEO FOR OVER A YEAR!!! When i started learning about the organ I saw this video and I have not seen it since and I have looked for it for ever! THANKS!

[tvorgan]

The same as I said for the 1st&2nd movements

WONDERFUL!!!

[clydesight]

Very beautiful and excellent performance. I love how you show the internal workings of the organ! What a magnificent instrument! Thanks for the video!

[NortheastOrganist]

Beautiful in its precision and crispness, and everything else. Gloria in excelsis Deo. The cornet sound is magnificent.

[PerrrfictKats]

The playing brought tears to my eyes! Beatiful!! I am going to look up the organ in the Bach Reader; who IS the builder anyways? PerrrfictKats

[3NUNS]

Where is this Kirke. Is it of Luther's domain oder the Pope's.

[Orgelix]

It's a Lutheran Church!

[3NUNS]

Better Luther than 'old red sox'!

[andpearce]

what the hell is that for?

[3NUNS]

Every decent body refers to the Bishop of Rome as 'old red sox'!

[3NUNS]

Very fine choice of pedal stops. In comparison with manuals.

[pobinr]

fantastic music. Gimmiky camera work though. I'd rather just watch his hands & feet !

[johannuscro]

sehr schon!

[virginiaorganbuilder]

very already?

[Novistadores]

This is a good rendition of third movement of Trio Sonata in G major. However, I think the best versions of the six trio sonatas are performed by Holm Vogel. I have both compact discs and are of the Capriccio Label. He originally recorded them in 1979 at the Schuke Orgel der Paul Gerhardt Kirche in Leipzig. They are the right speed, the choice of stops is excellent, and Vogel's talent and meticulous nature in playing is awesome. Check them out.

[sprite1098]

If you think these other recordings are good,listen to the version by Eric Piazetski on the Silbermann organ in Nassau cathedral.Absolutely spot on.

[Novistadores]

I will check them out. Thanks for the info.

[Claus12]

Auch wenn ich mir das Stück schon so oft angehört habe: Es ist immer herzerfrischend wie der verehrte Organist John Scott Whiteley

dies spielt.Vor allem die Untermalung mit dem Cymbelstern - absolut genial.

Und dies auf der wieder neu restaurierten Orgel im "Bachschen" Stil in der Wenzelskirche in Naumburg.

Meine Verehrung!

[jasiu8541]

Świetniy utór Bacha , naprawde swietnie wykonany. pozdrawiam Jan B

[recordcollectionist8]

J.S Bach was magnific in the organ. I want to play like that!

[AlzateContraElPastor]

Really? Tell me where I can buy that Bac´h sessions, recorded in 17th century.

[Konkolikona]

fantastic organ. fantastic palyer.

fantastic BACH

BACH

[MeZZosOpRaNOz]

i LOVE the chioce of stops!

[edelacroix]

Much much appreciated

Please post Art of the Fugue in its entirety thanks

[paranormaalutrecht]

My compliments: wunderfull magnificent!!!!! Really!!!

[waeman]

Can someone tell me please what is this golden star about ?

[matthew348]

if i am correct that star is connected to the cymbelstern. (the bells that you hear and see in the video)

[ZachariasHildebrandt]

Yes. It's connected to the wheel and camshaft that drives that rather unique sequence of bells that seems to span two octaves.

[3NUNS]

Thanks for putting on these high quality organ performance videos

[cumesoftware]

@ZachariasHildebrandt The most beautiful cymbelstern I've heard!

[tosserani]

it's quite a shame how slopily and un-inspired this amazing piece is played in that recording

[firebreathone]

It could have been played with a bit more 'chutzpah' but nevertheless I think it sounds great.

[FrCusus]

I can't find music for this piece anywhere. It's only my luck!

[notyobs]

I'm sure I saw you on the telly a few months ago playing that organ.

[FrCusus]

I love that organ. It's absolutely beautiful and it sounds beautiful!

[Pianowrestler]

I'd like to know more of mr. flabby-cheeks-with-sunglasses who plays this Bach-piece so beautifully (sometimes a fraction hastily)...his name is not in your description, is it only for organ-insiders?

[alra1975]

John Scott Whiteley is the name; he recorded a 4 Dvds set for BBC, most on (great) Baroque organs. Very good. Also an interview with Christoph Wolff is included.

[Pianowrestler]

Mille grazie! I'll remember that name.

[alra1975]

Oh!! Di niente!! ;-)

[ZachariasHildebrandt]

Couldn't agree more.

[andre26071955]

I think that some great compliments and "thank you very much's" should go to titular organist mrs Irene Greulich for her eeforts to get this instrument restored to its former splendor an to all personnel of the organmakers firm Hermann Eule of Bautzen, Germany who have done a tremendous good job!

[klodg]

C'est bien de nous faire voir aussi la mécanique de l'instrument..avec celle de vos doigts..

[dewinmoonl]

wow organ! It is simply majestic...

[jr99z2]

I love J. S. Bach's trio sonatas. He is the best composer ever.

[melman74b]

I could not agree with you more. He was a composer without peer not just on the organ, but ESPECIALLY on the organ, and every movement of all six of these trio sonatas are absolute jewels in their own right. Such delicious music this... The zimbelstern is an interesting touch in this particular performance. It may be a bit distracting to me but it doesn't destroy the performance by any means. Just my humble opinion of course.

[YevgeniyAlexey]

Don't you hear the sparkling firework which is addded by the "Zimbelstern"? I think it is an appropriate choice of registration here. Only masters like Mr. Whithely can handle such delicate registration correctly.

[blackberryjuice]

What a fantastic instrument! My best friend had the chance to play is last spring. Thanks so much for posting these wonderful videos.

[ZachariasHildebrandt]

I want to know where those sunglasses came from

[3NUNS]

@ZachariasHildebrandt : Yes. The manufacturer !

[3NUNS]

@ZachariasHildebrandt : Found them on the grassy verge of the Leipzig to Berlin Autobahn !

[tapirnase]

Endlich al eine Orgel, die diesem Stück gerecht wird, das whiteley so hammer spielt wie seine sonnenbrille cool ist, beweist er hier mla wieder ^^

[Claus12]

"Er müsste Meer, nicht Bach heissen. Und bei diesem Interpreten Hildebrandt "brennen" bestimmt alle Orgeln. Super 1 a !!!

[tapirnase]

Hildebrandt is der Orgelerbauer

[ludwig123456789]

WOW this shows the inner workings of an 17-18th century pipe organ. What a marvelous piece of art, science and machine.
