Organ in Lezajsk - J.S.Bach - Preludium & Fugue C -moll BWV 549

[polsterj]

Naja, das ist doch wieder etwas zu frei für meinen geschmack.

Aber die Orgel hat was, die Pedalzungen sind der Wahnsinn!

[patrickmclifford]

Simply the voice of God.....Bach and this wonderful Organ



[Oddball206]

too.....many.....EARGASMS!!!!

Bach is the absolute BEST composer who ever lived!!!!!!

[christianvs1]

OMG!!! The fugue is exceptionally well done!!! Thanks..... I reckon this is what one can do with Bach on a fitting and well appointed instrument... :)

[Mejeanpierre]

Ein wunderbares Instrument. Aber für Bach nicht so geeignet. Manche moderne Einspielungen halte ich (subjektiv!) für zu schnell, diese hier erscheint mir dagegen zu langsam und dadurch etwas langweilig.

[1AdrianR]

The King of Instruments Forever. Th organ is Absolute.

[ollebor09]

I like the bass run at 3:29. Its a agressive twist and perfect accent to the subject.

[HIPOCORP]

Oh God....

Bach is not the best..

He is the only one!!!

[GrAvILLe666]

Nice Pipe Organ music!

[LosGrillosCantantes]

interesting registration...but the fugue ist too fast

[EIDOSeidos]

I hate to agree with the negative postings, but when you have nothing to say, it's best to say it fast (it's over more quickly).

[34Bach]

Zdziwicie się:to gra Anthony Newman,a nagranie jest zarejestrowane w 1995 roku i pochodzi z płyty:"Anthony Newman gra arcydzieła Bacha na sławnych,zabytkowych Organach w Leżajsku" z pierwszej płyty!

[peteacher52]

What a marvellous instrument - I could wish it were as well-known as the more famous contemporary organs of the Netherlands.

[PerrrfictKats]

Somebody, had some bucks....!

[morganistka]

Stanowczo za szybko. Brak wprowadzenia tematów w fudze. Kompletna kołomyja.

Brzmienie instrumentu naprawdę świetne.

[1yuvan]

This organ shoud go to heaven before the world ends!!!!! absolute wonderfull sound.

[Siemianowicee]

Dear Kami, Favorites should be plural in the sense you used it in your subtitle.

(one of a group of things, etc)

[Donthasselthehoff92]

Awful piece ! Bad pitch ! Awful tempo ! Fugue much to fast and without dynamic ! Organist should be released!

[MrKrummhorn]

Skarb Podkarpacia:) ahhhh

[WKRK1]

mi takie tempo odpowiada:) nie lubię wolnego smentolenia.

[THEHugeOrganPlayer]

WOW!Tak Tez przyznaje ze tempo zabójcze, sam to grałem i wątpie czy zagrałbym utworze równie szybko. Tempo, tak jak artykulacja jest elementem który organista moze regulować, wazne zeby go potem nie zmieniać.

[MrDonowens]

This was painful listening. Where's the fire? I understand that the definition of art is "whatever you can get away with," but bring the tempo back to reality.

[FreieStadtElbing]

ten cudowny instrument został zbudowany w kraju,któremu brakuje kultury potrzebnej,aby chociaż utrzymać go w oryginalnym stanie,tzn. takim w jakim był 300 lat temu... poza tym,dziwna,dosyć niezdarna gra,nie do końca trafiony dobór rejestrów...

[bsod4u2]

Again , a top performance by a gifted organist ...

The sound quality is good and the majestic instrument grandiose.

Long live my wall of subs reproducing the world's most majestic musical instrument.

[cumesoftware]

Very beautiful performance and piece and what a wonderful organ, both in sound and look. Astonishing!

[paradoxicus]

El órgano y la grabación es maravillosa.

[mariutto111]

słuchając tego mam wrażenie że ktoś się gdzieś spieszy:)

[ArmiaGiewont]

zgadza sie,  tez wydaje mi sie ze powinno byc troche wolniej

[fraublucher2]

I do not understand most anything this organist is choosing to do. The reed in the fugue is very, very unusual for Bach playing. Also, the tempo is way too fast. The reed in the pedal later in the fugue can't keep up, not to mention the fact that the whole thing becomes muddled, making it difficult to hear the intricate counterpoint. A beautiful piece gone sadly wrong.

[cumesoftware]

It is not always all around the right tempo. Music is an art, and can be interpreted in the most diverse ways. That is why I hate the scholar point of view.

[fraublucher2]

Let me be the first to say that I am no scholar. I am simply a fellow organist. Perhaps it was a bit much to say the piece had gone wrong, I think that clarity is always something to strive for in baroque music; this is even a fugue for mercy's sake! Here, it's all about the counterpoint, and it's near impossible to hear it in certain places with the fast tempo. Music interpretation is an art, but so is the composition itself and I think musicians should respect that as well while interpreting.

[danacogarceanu]

Excelent Sound

[snoodify]

Bzz126 it's a good thing tastes are so different. I play this piece in the same tempo and I always learned it's pretty common to play it that way. Anyway... it sounds beautifull on this very impressive organ. Can't wait to visit Poland next year. Hopefully I have the opportunity to play there :)

[organskr]

The organ is beutiful, but why is the fugue so fast? And why is some reed used in manual?

[bzz126]

Absolutely beautiful organ....is played too fast though, much of the beauty of this piece gets buried.

[Trustedwolf17]

That organ is the most amazing thing I have ever heard in my life. May it be treasured for things of that beauty are no longer made.

[Brenniman65]

@Trustedwolf17 Agreed. Neither are great music works such as Bach created so much anymore unfortunately.

[24161412416141]

Exelent Bravo!!!

[wheidelberg]

This organ is such a world treasure.  Hopefully, there will be more recordings available for purchase of this great instrument.

Thanks for posting this work.
