J. S. Bach - Fantasia et Fuga BWV 542

[Dachion]

" From 2:33 the extraterrestrial attends the empty church to confirm his religious theory & it itself begins to pray. "

[samuelperezcastillo]

it`s fantastic

[makemeapirate]

I like 5:08-5:13! A minor tonic chord is played when closing the Fantasia. In most performances, a major chord is heard there. I don't know what Bach wrote, but I like the minor chord more. A major tonic chord does not fit in the piece I think...

Gracias Maestro.

6.58-7.02 orgasmo puro. Esecuzione magistrale. Bach è fuori dai limiti umani

[juan1959ify]

bach el mejor compositor de todos los tiempos,y bonita interpretacion.

[Francis1930]

Absolut fantastisch, jedes einzelne Zeichen gespielt vollkommen, war die Fuge eine Freude zuzuhören, wie es eines meiner Lieblingsstücke durch Junggesellen ist. Gut getan, und bedanken sich dafür, dass Sie sich teilen.

[Kaccahapa]

Hermosooo, molto benee!! wonderful!!

I've been looking for this piece for two years. Finally, I found it. Playing Bach on an organ, plus a complicated piece means years of practice. This man is amazing. He really understands what he is playing and gave such effort to perform such a masterpiece!

PS- 1 person was blind and accidentally pressed the dislike button.

[DreamersBallad]

Very beautiful and very powerful. I've always adored organ music and this is superb.

[Mike240467]

This has been described as totally mechanical and without life. Put yourself out in the body of the cathedral listening rather than watching a world class organist make it look easy. That's always the sign of an expert when they make something look easy and here, he didn't even seem to break into a sweat! Superb thankyou and please post more of your work.

[abbigailannabel]

why dont i play the organ???

[DainGerrUsss]

Reminds me of C.P.E. Bach's comment about keyboard playing that is a bit like the sound of someone chopping cabbage.

[MadamDoolally]

totally mechanical and without life

[orgelanders2]

Good, Maybe a little for in a hurry. Listen willingly on my recording from Church of Catherine in Stockholm.

[Gusakov]

Absolutely unique performance !

[OfficerRobertHall]

Bravo! Well payed.

[VONHIMMELBACH]

Amazingly executed!!! :)

[sasgeza]

this is a very difficult piece. the way he plays is amaizing! when you see it you should rather think, it is nothing special, it must be very easy

[Secularium]

Best version on YouTube I think! Superb!

[benchkey]

I like your playing, very comfortable, not rushed. The video seems to make the mixtures screech. Maybe it is my ears. 

[stschmalhaus]

Brilliant! The fugue is a tad too fast for my taste though.

[brawil]

Very nicely played!  Thanks

[brettmusicfanatic]

Now this is how it's done!

Absolutely beautiful and technically stunning!

I'm working to memorize this piece at my university right now and can most definitely appreciate a performance this spectacular!

I look very forward to seeing more videos of you playing!!!! =]

[OrgueJeanVALLA]

Simplement merveilleux. Quelle maîtrise

[BANSHEE666999]

i where can download this song?

sorry my english is bad i have 15 years and i`m from mexico

[alcordourier]

Esta es la más impresionante melodía de Bach, la fantasía en sol menor, pero donde se oye impresionante es en la catedral de Puebla, nunca olvidaré la impresión, inclusive esta interpretación es inferior a la que le oí al célebre "Panchito"

[Funebre6]

what is the significated of " BWV"?¡?

excuseme but i´m new in the music and excuseme for my english, i´from mexico

saludos

i did not write that coment below. i dont write mean stuff about anyone on you tube if you see my coments you no . report that coment to you tube and they will no did not come from me

[1straycat99]

you should play more lagato and more smoothly

[joeyboi87]

I dont think he needs you to tell him how to play considering hes a concert organist, but hey maybe you should upload the videos you have of you playing these extremely complex pieces of bach

[bobert1960]

joeyboi87. . . .you would be a GREAT friend to have!!!! :-) Don't give it another thought about the negatvie comments. Number one. . .they have probably NEVER played this piece. . .and number two. . .probably never played in a room with this much acoustic. They wouldn't understand that playing detached at the console, makes it legato in down in the nave.

[GJmusique]

oh yes, that's what Bach wrote in the score and Michiels forgot to read =P

[tjugofyra]

Brilliantly well played!

The organ sounds brilliant!

Where can I find a CD that you have recorded?

[Guilloufan]

Very well played!! But I rather think it's the BWV 542.

Greetings!

[kathedraalconcerten]

It is indeed. Uploading too many videos at a time can be dangerous... (especially when it's late). Thanks for noticing (and for your comment).
