[geddypasto]

Too many people focus on the 90 people that don't enjoy this beautiful music, and not enough pay attention to the 4260 that do.

[nicolasblaires]

90 people made Justin Beaber a star

[followsoccer]

[Irisay2011]

Классно!Но орган есть орган!

[fromnsk]

IMHO, Toccata and Fugue sounds even better in Accordion, than in organ!

[Prophecy754]

The best accordion player ever!

[mdejong140]

GREAT

[MrMoosehammer]

absolutely amazing...

[fuwokao]

I began with accordion though I played piano later.... I hated accordion, imagine 2 year old child with a heavy box over your lap and was forced to play 1 hour per day for good 5 years.

Much prefer the piano over accordion seriously......

[fsbgo]

Sensacional

[9999gazza]

Absolutely fantastic, are you in the UK and if so where? I would pay to see this!

[krislie204]

[jedsee3780]

Amazing!  Shhhh(!) @ 5:59

[kevinpotton]

Dear AccCam. You playing is sensational. I am just learning Irish accordion to do some gigs but am a classically trained musician and appreciate your arrangement of Bach and technical skill, especially with the contrapuntal writing! Well done you. It gave me great pleasure watching you. Kevin x

[accordionella]

Fantastic. I aspire to playing like that.

[ashytigerN64]

That is absolutely beautiful, very well done sir! wish I could get that on Mp3

[accordion12]

[rosasanroman11]

Que maestría. Sin palabras toccata y fuga en d menor en acordeón piano. IMpresionante. Maravilloso. Si alguna vez haces concierto en España, por favor, dónde, para ir y absolutamente recomendarlo. 

[bigbluechevy12345]

[Elgoter]

Goosebumps

[Elgoter]

Goosebumps.

[Adeodatus69]

[Kaputznefreble]

84 people think RAP is music too...

[ChillungOne]

@Kaputznefreble

Bastard.

[MrErikass]

@Kaputznefreble Yep, they do. :D

[9klasK]

@Kaputznefreble you must have listened to some really shitty rap then

[AlexWerkmeister712]

@Kaputznefreble

And they are correct.

This is a beautiful performance. However, I've heard many great rap songs too. (Not all of it's all about bitches, money, cars, bling-bling, etc...

Try not to be so musically close-minded. Everyone has their own taste.

[Lagunaturbia]

that accordion looks heavy D:

[rnlmentel55]

Chords from the master!

Out****ingstanding, you sir ARE the man.

[liammccabe05]

The fuck? I love the accordian but this is a whole other level of godlihood.

[Laymanandthensome]

Damn dude. I hear two things: bach's genius, and years of hard work. Music to my ears

[whit3emperor]

Astonishing,simply astonishing.

[KassandraLaGatta]

you have given me a deep emotion whit your music, thanks a lot

[AngelaChen321]

Campbell!!!! It is me- Angela Chen which is one of your accordion students! You were so good at playing the accordion.

[1234gnrslash]

Seriously, accordions. Hate those things because they scare me lol! 160 buttons. And a keyboard. All while moving it back and forth.

I can't multitask. Seriously this looks insanely hard haha

[gangrail]

nice funny im a guitarist and just got a accordion from my mom that use be my gramps so now i wanna learn that as well

[Horzagiar]

84 corpulent people are sitting on the top of Tuscan villa.

[juanitolinares]

Magistral¡¡¡¡ sin palabras para describir lo emotivo que es ver ejecutar en este instrumento esta obra maestra de la música clásica =)

[danielreye]

amazing °O°

[antagonist9000]

talkin to huisin sauce,sry

[beaglemanzzz]

Utterly epic

[zebercet22]

This is incredible!

[lulu66033]

Awesome ... good job Campbell Bettridge! My all time favorite by the "Grand Master Bach."

[TheRoom8]

This is so amazing! I wish I had that kind of talent :]

[acedaface954]

shh!!!!! i'm in concert.

[KittyRokher]

Accordions are just great. Everyone thinks they are stupid, but that's because they're teenage failed musicians that can barely play the guitar, let alone something as hard to master as this.

[DanioOFP]

u rule man :D

[Lazysupermutant]

I wounder how do accordions work?

[gizmoguyar]

@Lazysupermutant Simply. They have a convoluted system of piston or diaphragm valves which blow air across tuned metal reeds like those found in a harmonica.

[CristalShade]

you are so good, and this composition is just amazing.. :')

[ta4kata]

incredible as a to weak word in my eyes for this :X just insane :)

[zrlaszlo]

Wonderful, I never thought this was possible. Congrats!

[DerickLazell]

Most retarded instrument ever, I bet you are a virgin. Loser.

[philmphanatic1]

@DerickLazell You ignorant piece of shit! remember, It is better to keep quiet and let people think you are stupid than open your mouth and leave no room for doubt!

[HuisinSauce]

@DerickLazell haha you're the virgin XD, I know why you mad, it's because you jealous of this guy's mad skillz

[DerickLazell]

@HuisinSauce

Me a virgin? LOL no im a guitarist. That doesnt even make sense. Second of all... what skills? Kirk Hammett, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton.... THEY have skills. This guys is just a waste of time. He needs to go sell that for some guitar money and play a REAL instrument.

[HuisinSauce]

@DerickLazell uhh. I play guitar too, plus I have the mad ego of a trumpet player cause I play it as well, it doesn't mean you have to bash other people dude, I'm kidding about the virgin thing but seriously grow up from being 5 years old and don't knock on people. Be mature and take music for what it is, music is the pathway to heaven in an abstract manner but it's also a pattern of pitches and harmonics, so lets all enjoy music regardless of which instrument you think is the best ok?

[antagonist9000]

@DerickLazell im a guitarist, and i think you and your opinion can take a frikkin leap!! go get some sence loser!!

[eastrockaway11518]

realy nice

[juresaiyan]

amazing. The accordion is insanely hard to play.

[MajorRoy]

You are god.

[merilee222]

What a phenominal job on this beautiful piece!

[joycebovee73]

[prettywoman621]

I am amazed!!

[Radiobed]

6 billion people are tired of reading your comments about the dislike bar.

[XavierPrice]

81 people mistakenly thought this would be a polka.

[kieran976]

i think your accordion is leeking ;P

[Infloresence]

Have you ever seen an accordion stretched as much as that ?

Brilliant !

[Richie2688]

BRAVO!

[riggy001]

A-freaking-MAZING! Great job on duplicating BVW 565 on a single instrument that wasn't the pipe organ! Simply AWESOME job!

[wirklicherscherzkeks]

sounds better n organ, but still really great!!!

[g0vqw]

Brilliant.

One instrument which sounds like a whole orchestra...!

[newFranzFerencLiszt]

lol a portable organ! xD

ps. how the fucking hell can you play the buttons and the keyboard without looking at it!?!??!

[James22255]

@newFranzFerencLiszt a LOT of practice...

[Meseroth]

@newFranzFerencLiszt years and years of practice :)

[boneriffik123]

LOL@ The joker who started clapping :L

[Villies21]

This is supposed to be played with two hands and two feet. 4 limbs! Amazing.

[benjaminreculiao]

Genial!!!



[Mracordeones]

Excelente interpretacion.Felicitaciones,­desearia la partitura para acordeon(el arreglo).Muy agradecido.

Mi mail es : robertocrifo@live.com.ar

No tengo su mail Sr. Campbell Bettridg.

[birdebyrd]

those who can, DO, Those who can't, CRITICIZE!

[birdebyrd]

I have a new found respect for the accordian

[Alex98714]

Excellent Campbell, Bravo!!!

[Kw12345ff]

Simply awesome.

[NewEnglandgardening]

I enjoyed that. Is that physically difficult to play that long ? I was just wondering how difficult it is to move the air thru that. My parent would watch Lawrence Welk and Myron Floren on the accordian and I'll still watch it today on PBS.

[Arc0na]

Умничка , парень! Бах гордился бы тобой!

[RieserMan]

A very good interpretation of Bach's music with perfect playing technic.

Question: the instrument you are playing seems to have diskant systems on both

sides ? Is there any standard how these manuals are organized ?

I remember Wolfgang Dimetrik which has played a similar instrument.

He interpreted Bach's Goldberg variations.

[roseagull]

Even if you don't respond to classical accordion style, hopefully you can appreciate that this most difficult piece is brilliantly executed.

[GrotrianSeiler]

Simply beautiful. Just amazing.

[Orange1Ravengar]

An accordion is a type of portable organ. Of course it would reproduce melodies made for organs.

[ZombieDragQueen]

If there is one other instrument than organ that could capture that precise feeling of the Toccata and Fugue then it has to be accordion. It's like hearing Chopin's Funeral March on a brass ensemble. Equally if not more enchanting.

[rich0319726]

Excellent!

[simonchang8]

This is incredible! Very nice sound! I never thought an accordion could have such nice interpretation of this masterpiece! Bravo!!

[babbag3]

Amazing! Lovely interpretation too - much nicer than many played on an actual organ :)

[ANDERSONBLACKSMITH]

Bravo!!!



[LoveCanComesAgain]

amazing..

[whatscreenname]

Very Very Nice

[Zug75]

LOL ITS LIKE AN ERECTION! XD

[seripmavevolI]

I love most renditions of Toccata and Fugue, but this may have just become my favorite.

[0Luxis0]

HOLLY FUCKING HELL!

i got no words for it...any praise would be 'unworthing' it.

As I also think it is for the original..

[caroledenys2004]

Superbe prestation. Quel bel instrument. Merci

[LonginusFX]

Campbell Bettridge! Youre amazing, a truly genius! Bravo! Superb

[alphadunebuggy]

you win at life :)

[confusedwhale]

ACCORDION, n.

An instrument in harmony with the sentiments of an assassin.

[andren29c]

Amazing!!! Congrats from PORTUGAL!

[krustyloaf]

It's German, but it's French... No, wait, it's French, but it's German... Er... Frerman?

[ahgblopes]

Who is the stupid that applauded at 7:50??

[gridejp]

Beautiful arrangement and masterfully played esp fugue section.

[madagwane]

Made my day - thanks

[GuitarGeniusCom]

Genius.

[Albertan1956]

Amazing thank you for sharing your talent and passion with us!

[cevocruz]

Incredible!

[ProtagorasEmber]

Pure genius

[m5a5r5e5k5]

79 people dont know anything about music

[silvr90210]

@m5a5r5e5k5 1 person cant count :D its 80 :p

[BigPapaBear1000]

@m5a5r5e5k5 yeah, most of them were probably the idiots who clapped before the song was over.

[sstev0yu]

You are unbelievably amazing!

[oscarandsam]

Wow! I had no idea you could do that with an accordion! This kind of thing is what Youtube was built for --

[carolg60]

The first and only time I heard this played on an accordion was 40 years ago on Accordion Day by a young lady who won the British Accordion championship with this same music. She also used a 'free bass' instrument and and I've never forgotten this most amazing sound. You are truely excellent and I love your rendition. You've made my day with your playing.

[Kronimiciad]

Very good... except the accordion just simply ain't an organ.

[duddadu]

A beautiful piece of music played beautifully.

[V2Blast]

Fantastic playing :D

[coolottl]

von mir 5 *****  ein echter Könner!!!

[ilikebells]

Wow! I love this piece of music - I played it a lot back in my organ playing days. Great job and thanks for sharing. :)

[stargroove4]

I have heard this song countless times and man, this guy just nails it.

I can't imagine the rush he gets with the power.

I put reverb on to listen and it sounds like an organ.

I'm just blown away by the masterful skill this musician has.

So beautiful, such magesty.

[MrSteveheeren]

@stargroove4 This is the best thing I have heard on the accordion, and this comment is from someone who took instruction for 5 years..

[rubenat2001]

MAGISTRAL.... EXCELENTE

[chanchan79]

MUY BIEN. SALUDOS



[m00nBALLOONS]

This iS the most Amazing thing I've seen played on an accordion. Bravo!

[polbecca]

I had no idea you could even play something as complex as this on "an accordion"! And all those buttons under the left hand! Top stuff.

[serafil]

Amazing!!!

[Jacob4710]

This is amazing! You're a pro, how many years have you been playing for?

[arkanorge13]

Awesome.

[afriggencow]

@slav0807 your fake

[stargroove4]

@afriggencow Considering you didn't spell "you're", in the correct context, I'll put you in the "I don't give a shit pile". You should go back to YOUR FBieber N'Black videos.

 Leave YOUR insignificant prattles to the fags who troll nonsense, just like you.

[computermacbookjoelb]

@stargroove4 you're good

[SattoMirko]

Great!!!

[ScottishAccordionist]

WOAH!!! That song reminds me that I had a visit at a haunted house. Scary!

[Katharina1962]

Wonderful performance, congratulations!

Kind regards from Switzerland :-)

[littleasshole26]

Can someone tell me how it works?

[doomless198]

i've been playing piano for 8 years as well as violin and guitar

and on my bd my grnadpa gave me an accordion i immediatly got use to about right hand side but left one seems a bit messy could you give me some tips

[wanchitube]

great !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Radioatividade1000]

Impressionante!

[megaleo451]

This piece is magnificent. You played it extremely well. I enjoy every part of it.

Is it possible to play this score on a normal Accordion, please?

I would love the music if it is possible to play it on a 120 bass Scandalli?

All the best my friend.

Bravo!!!

Leo
