echt heel erg knap!!!

[Chesterbarnes1]

'Frans834, thank you for posting, the music and performance was outstanding. Just don't know how you manage to play so wonderfully with those large toe shoes. I just couldn't do it. I admire you greatly.

Thanks

[zebeyek]

well done

[Frans834]

thank you! the second part is als available

[maudiouser]

I appreciate your playing. YOu have a very good sense of tempo. You do not hesitate, although playing without an assistant to help w/ the stops and turn pages, I was amazed at how you kept you tempo so well, and many of the segments of this piece, I hear with a new ear because of your own type of playing. great ! sincerely, steve ader santa fe, new mexico u.s.a. All the best to you !

[not4nothing1982]

your version sounds simply beautiful + you´re really confident with your playing-speed, great!

[pipeorganloverNJP]

Personally, I feel it's easier to play out of my head than from looking at sheetmusic, because that way my poor lil brain doesn't have to do too many things at once. I think people who can READ sheetmusic and play simultaneously should be given as much credit as those who don't.

[dbstudy]

does anybody know if the baroque pedals were meant to be pressed with toes and heel?

[Frans834]

Ha ha, i do have organ shoes, but i simply forgot to put them on.

[Frans834]

for baroque it is better to play with toes. But that is not always possible. I also play romantic organ music, my pedal technique is "to much mix"

[Vogelvongott]

i dont like the pedal tecnic

[admdavid]

Those aren't good shoes for organ playing. He'd almost be better off barefoot. He plays really nicely so I'm surprised he doesn't have organ shoes.

[Vogelvongott]

But you have enough reason, in really it he play very well my English is a bit bad.(Disculpa, mi ingles es un poco malo En fin, la verdad si toco muy bien el tipo)

Saludos

Complimenten! Mooi, strak en doorzichtig gespeeld, ook door een goeie keuze van registers. En op de goede momenten krachtig.

Zelf houd ik er wel van als het tempo bij Bach soms wat wordt ingehouden (vertraagd), maar ik weet dat anderen dat te romantisch vinden.

Blijf spelen zoals je doet!

[Frans834]

Leuk een reactie in het Nederlands.

Ik vind ook dat Bach soms erg mechanisch wordt gespeeld ook door gerenommeerde organisten.

Overigens heb ik dit stuk onlangs gespeeld in de Laurenskerk in Alkmaar (Schnitger) wat een geweldige ervaring was.

[Green4321]

Waarom was het een geweldige ervaring? Is het orgel in Laurenskerk niet een prachtig instrument?

[plz forgive my poor Dutch]

[Frans834]

Dat bedoel ik dus!

[andrewsmith75]

one of Bachs's best pieces in my opinion

[pipeorganloverNJP]

THE best in mine. =)

[drummassa06]

the best EVER WRITTEN in mine.

[Totennebel]

Great performance.

But the instrument looks like an electric home organ.

Great sound anyways...

[pmzephyr22]

What, are you kidding me? That is a fine mechanical action instrument. I am guessing Dutch, and I am guessing Flentrop. There are no "eletric home organs" that even come close to this sound and craftsmanship.

[Totennebel]

My comment was just relating to its look.

Sorry, I didn't express myself properly.

The cable on the ground just made it look like a little organ in a small room.

Of course it's not a home organ.

[Ntalikeris666]

i dont think its a digital organ, since if it was , i would certainly have more stops.

[RobinCatoTW]

Perfect. You are a candidate, who should play this piece in Ottobeuren Germany, where Karl Richter has played it

[pipeorganloverNJP]

Oh, yes, Richter's is stellar. Someday I hope to play it too! ^^

[JSinuYasha]

i love this song to death! passacaglia and fugue in c minor! i luv it! i'm so happy to see somebody playing it! and very well!

[george473a]

fantastic performance

[mrtslam]

Bravo, from Hong Kong. I can offer to turn the pages and pull those handles for you. Are you going to play Toccata and Fugue?

[classicalmusic1mzrt]

Wow is this a residence organ? It has good tone and acoustics.

[lechopin]

You are truly someone who has mastered this organ. Well done, I loved it.

[Chesterbarnes1]

You play that well, eventually you'll get the ORGAN you need.  Keep playing, you sight read well, however your shoes were rather large, get some organ shoes. smile

[afordjones]

Who is the instrumentalist and on what organ? I really enjoyed the video.

[Quicky85]

Nice playing Frans!keep up the good work;)

Gr Wouter 2

[Quicky85]

Thank you for your reaction (i think i know you!)

[Tazeruk]

lol

[maxilucas]

Dit is echt goed! Ik hou ook van deze Passacaglia. Heb je de versie van Koopman gehoord? Groeten

[Frans834]

Leuk, een reactie in het Nederlands. Nee ik ken die van Ton Koopman niet. Kan ik die ergens beluisteren?

[organpipe8]

Very nice

[Frans834]

Thank you for your reaction. Im am an amateur organist near Amsterdam. This is my favorite peace, not easy for me as you will understand. The only problem is: my organ is much too small for this kind of music. I even have no principal (praestant) 8' only 4'. My wish is an organ with a little more "body".

[organpipe8]

I just purchased a small Viscount Vivace for my apartment, know what you mean. I am so limited to what I can do. A nice organ is a good thing ;-)

It sounded great... post more sometime.

[Frans834]

part 2 is coming (fuga)

[Chesterbarnes1]

You played this piece excellent, keep playing the organ was bright and clear.

[Brandotuomikoski]

Too bad, I play at the St. Cecilias cathedral in omaha Nebraska it is huge. Look it up, made by pasi organ builders
