J. S. Bach / We All Believe in One True God, Bwv 680

[mkl62]

I am an ELCA Lutheran. This is to all denominations: If 1 Timothy 2:1-6 and/or 1 Timothy 3:14-16 is your Scripture of the Day, this hymn, We All Believe in One True God, is a good hymn to compliment this Scripture. The lyrics are by Martin Luther, 1483-1546, and is set to the tune, WIR GLAUBEN ALL, a Latin Credo from around 1300.

Fine playing, fine sound! As you suggest in your comments about area Schlickers, their tonal quality seems to vary enormously. This is obviously one of the good ones! The acoustics make a huge difference, too, I'm sure.

Thanks for posting!

[tbdmusic32]

Your technique is flawless.

[tbdmusic32]

This is absolutely exquisite playing. If I might say so, I think Bach would be very proud!

[paulbinko]

Thanks for your compliments! How do you like my cancel button technique?

[Awalt101]

I play a dumpy old Moeller in Bel Air MD, and I could kill for some accoustics like this! Lucky lucky lucky

[Chesterbarnes1]

Await, I would kill for accoustics like this. We have a 14 rank Wicks pipe organ OPUS 1953 model, well kept, but the pipes are hidden behind a walled GRATE. Lord for a sound like Paul Binko has.

Paul would you perform "Nun Komm' der Heiden Heiland BWN 659, this piece brings tears to my eyes. Please find time to play it for all of us BACH lovers. Thanks

Wonderful! Great performance and beutiful sound! I hear your performance and feel Bach's world. Thank you so much! Now, would you mind to play Fugue in G minor by Bach for me? I wnat to hear your performances much more!

[eameece]

That's a tall order; and besides, which one (542 or 578)? What d'ya say Paul?!

[mudog35]

please please play wedge fuge !!!!!

[patti89]

What a great interpretation! Very awesome!

Excuse my asking, I don't have much of a clue of how organs work - but what were you doing in the beginning, adjusting those knobs? Registers?

[mllcg]

Is that are real pipe organ or a digital pipe organ?

[paulbinko]

There are about 5-7 Schlicker organs in the Baltimore area. Two of them are very nice, including this one, a 3 manual which is not all that bad -- but in a rather dry room, a two manual at a local college (the organ case is on wheels, believe it or not) -- which is the pits, and another 2 manual in a local church in Northern Baltimore County that should be put out of it's misery!

[purposedrivel]

Church? Funny, I thought it was a PizzaHut...

[Arky83mi]

Once in a while I practice on a smiliar Shlicker in East Lansing, a 3 manual affiar, with the same setup as this, 2 rows of "coupler" style stops above the keyboard. Unfortunately, that instrument has to be one of the worst organs I have ever come in contact with. The location of pipes and the voicing (or lack there of) kills the instrument, as well as the POOR registration. Glad to see theres a Shlicker worth seeing out there!

[paulbinko]

I certainly do hear what you are saying! I have played Schlicker organs that are absolutely in horrendous room situations and strident voicing!

[whizkidforte]

That's a wonderful performance! Maybe someday I'll visit this church (St. Jude Shrine in Baltimore) and attend one of its Masses on one of my vacations!

[paulbinko]

Please look us up when you are in town! Best to come on a Sunday morning for the 9:00 AM or 11:30 AM mass.

GREAT GREAT GRREAT!! Really enjoyed the crisp sound of the organ. Who is the maker?

[paulbinko]

Thanks for the compliment! The organ is a 1985 Schlicker. I'll be making a video clip sometime this week talking about the organ -- several listeners have inquired about it. Stayed tuned.

[bachluthology2]

when is the tour video of this great instrument? Schlicker organs are the best. At our church we have a 52 Rank Schlicker 3 man. with some 2,666 pipes
