Buxtehude in Neuenfelde

[hymnistic]

Was he just making this stuff up?

Buxtehude, I mean...

:-)

[bigmandrel]

Sweet ass sweet! Very Juicy playing here. I especially like the little "dated'' passage around 2:42.

[NewEquinoxProduction]

I think you cant write

"Buxtehude in neuenfelde"

cause Buxtehude is a village near neuenfelde, too....

[pepitho]

¡qué bueno!

[bachkirche]

This organ has a wonderful tone. I bet Arp, buried in the church, is pleased whenever it is played. BTW, how is the airbus thing coming along? Is the organ still threatened?

[Bachlives2]

The organ was really never really threatened by the massive airbus. The vibrations were actually above the church....

[ItsMe490]

that is not quite right. The senate of the city of Hamburg was considering to move the whole church into the Kieckeberg Museum at one point. It is such a shame everything that happened there. So don't trust Airbus supported "studies" concerning these affairs. They are corrupt all over in my opinion.

[Bachlives2]

I don't trust airbus as my father works for Boeing. They are corporate enemies. Besides in order for the plane to destroy the organ it would have to run about10 feet from the organ it is impossible for the plane to shale the organ apart and no one is really flying that massive 380

[ItsMe490]

haha, good argument with Boeing ;-) It's hard to explain on youtube but the church is especially designed to function as the body of sound. So the organ and the church building itself make this fascinating sound. So damaging the building is already damaging the organ. And since I have a home only a street from the church away I can tell you that there is damage to buildings. At least tiles are thrown from the roofs now and then. But we'll see in a few years if there is a real damaging effect

[OrganMaster310]

The shove coupler systems are not commen in the u.s. i have never seen one yet. But i do know that taylor and boody have them on the instruuments

[debartzen]

Grandisa y hermosa interpretación.¡Que grande Buxtehude!

[Bachlives2]

bamed10 when I said no it's not I meant it's not common in the states like you said I agree with you 100%

[PeteWagstaff]

i love the early organ coupler system displayed at 4:55 (swell to ped in this case i believe)

[bamed10]

The "shove" coupler actually couples the positive to the great rather than the pedal.  You can see the positive keys moving along with the great keys after that point. I have only played one organ with that type of coupler by Taylor and Boody, but they use it on most of their instruments I think because that's how the old guys did it. Otherwise I'm not sure if they're very common in the states.

[PeteWagstaff]

thanks for the correction!

im in the UK where they're more common, a bit old-school for the states i think.

they're much more common on the harpsichord, wich is more my thing.

[Bachlives2]

No it's not. But it is easier to build I think

[keraulophone]

Of course Schnitger organs don't have a swell division. The upper manual is the Hauptwerk and the lower manuel is the Rückpositiv.

[pinorg]

I must say that Mr Kropf plays Buxtehude in such a way that it makes you enjoy the music and his management of it. Buxtehude is apprecated when played by someone like this.

I shall put you up there beside Biggs, Martin Hasselblock and Mireille Leglace of Montreal, as the best modern interpreter's of Buxtehude.

Excellent work.

[REDTOR99]

I've seen all this beautiful Schnitger instruments some years ago on a "Schnitger trip" through Northern Germany and it's very nice to see all this here at Youtube again!

This was my first piece from Buxtehude and I still really love it!

[buxtehude07]

Let's hope Buxtehude's music will not be forgotten just because year 2007 has come to an end.

[Funkypotat0]

His music has already lasted hundreds of years, I doubt that it would cease to be remembered because a new year has come around. =)

[jasiu8541]

Naprawdę świetne, mógłbym się dowiedziec jakich glosow uzyto na poczatku? poniewaz bardzo mi sie podobaja! Pozdrowienia :D

[phillipebach]

Excelente!!! magnifico el sonido del organo y sobre todo la interpretación de tan bellísima obra de Dietrich Buxtehude, simplemente la armonía del barroco es lo mejor de la música clásica...

[MANULE100]

Superbe pièce mais, à mon goût, un peu trop rapide et un phrasé assez peu développé. Mais c'est tout de même magnifique.

[TrackerAction]

Bravo!  So calm, fantastic technique, beautiful articulation. Not often you hear Buxtehude played in a live room, and can actually hear every note! Fabulous playing all around. Cute too!

[356m]

sei molto bravo ,esecuzione pulita .perfetta

complimenti davvero da Marco italy.

[originalkronprinz]

Vom Feinsten...! :-))

[buxtehude07]

En fin tolkning! Dietrich Buxthehude är helt enastående.

[TrackerAction]

Anyone notice how he took off the coupler at 4:55?

[TrackerAction]

I'll never forget the first time I heard a Schnitger, and was actually the first time I had heard a tempered instrument. Not only was the the tuning of individual keys incredibly colorful, but I also found the temperament to be therapeutic. . .emotionally, spiritually, and psychologically. Then I learned, these instruments were structurally built, and tuned according to the Fibonacci sequence. Unbelievable!

[maxreger25]

etwas gebundeneres spiel würde die virtuosität die dem Stück gebührt etwas mehr ausdruck geben. aber improvisationssache

[gmlch]

thank you ! what a beautiful video

[XOMartha44]

Heavenly. If everyone listened to this upon waking in the morning and retiring in the evening, it would be a much happier world.

[giufighter]

meravigliosa interpretazione.

[Ciloster82]

Fantastic! Very good!

[kamusferrari]

Excelente sonoridade...

Parabéns...

Bravooo !!!!

[pcmh1978]

I like the synthentic 32' reed effect at the end, so un-authentic (?) in an otherwise tasteful and thoughtful performance. Wonderful organ, beautifully played - very enjoyable.

[JSbach1986]

It is a good performance, Bach really liked Buxtehude and loved to hear him perform. I'm glad that he declined to marry his daughter. Who knows he might not have written all that great music if he had taken Buxtehude position when he retired. I love these old organs and when they did design it Arp Schnitger was figureing the the organist would have 1 or 2 people there to pull stop knobs and turn pages.

[Funkypotat0]

Normally I don't really venture into organ works outside of Bach, but now I realize that other Baroque composers can make organ music to rival Bach himself.

[dyspnoe]

herrlich! und solch ein schönes instrument!

[mercoid]

"Arp Schnitger always fixed the knobs far away from the keyboard. You can see how hard it is for the performer to find them" .....I presume Schnitger anticipated that the player would have one or more page turner/stop puller, assistants at his disposal. I find it difficult to believe that the builder would not have considered accessibility to the controls in the design of his organ.

[joeyboi87]

lovely recording, i dont use the same pedal registration although it actually sounds very good

[speedstick77]

Stunning! Old Dietrich lives on in you.

[PraeludiumUndFuge]

Very nicely done. Beautiful piece, beautiful instrument.

[vanvulpen1966]

I completely agree with you!

[cnsedgwick]

Great performance. There is so much to learn from historical instruments like this one.

[ssuahneseiw]

He plays perfectly, and this organ is wonderful!

[FEB090]

I love your pedaling technique- its so fluent! Well played.

[FEB090]

Extremely well played. Buxtehude is no easy thing and this is absolutely beautiful!

[JSB741]

Incredible footwork!

[PeteWagstaff]

really wonderful, brilliantly played.

[joeyboi87]

this sounds fantastic!! He plays Buxtehude perfectly!

[andrerendeiro]

Thank you for tubing this.

Could you thell us please which work is this and if possible the Bux no.

[DrsP1]

You're welcome! Karl-Bernhardin Kropf plays the Praeludium in D-dur, BuxWV 139.
