Pipe Organ splendour

[KampenHinsz]

he's titular in this church... he plays the bwv 550, Toccata in F

[drakesummers89za]

he is playing bach....Toccata in F i think??

[morekew]

Ik wil helemaal niet chauvinistisch zijn, maar, toch blijft dit orgel voor mij qua toon en uiterlijk een van de mooiste instrumenten ter wereld.

[guitgeo]

criticize...

[oledino]

BWV 540, Toccata in F major, by J. S. Bach.

[emilytransex]

la maestosita di questa meravigliosa toccata e fuga in fa maggiore di bach risplende con le sonorita di questo organo meraviglioso ke regala grandi emozioni solo la bombarda alla pedaliera e da brivido!

[pipeup1]

Could have given more on the base? but difficult to hear it properly on the recording. Lucky you to have been there!

[janmoeyaert1]

why the change of tempo? Slow feet?

[happycowmusic]

I didn't notice it, but I wouldn't criticise one of the worlds top organists...

[Reesman95]

ahhh, the wonderful

Toccata in F major, J.S. BACH

[cembalo75]

Isn't it Jos van der Kooy? Organist of the Westerkerk in Amsterdam?

[happycowmusic]

THe very same!

[cembalo75]

I think Jos van der Kooy is teaching - or maybe just playing - at the Haarlem Summer Organ Academy starting about now. Olivier Latry is teaching the complete works of Messiaen on the philharmonic hall organ (Cavaille-Coll) and others are at the Bavo plus more churches.

Thank you for that information. I met Jos some 15 years ago at a recital in Sheffield, UK, a very interesting fellow.
