Truly a master piece. This song made me love classical music and it is my most favourite song. It's ashame that mainly Europeans and Asians knew him as he should be known around the world. Truly a talented and gifted composer as he got each bit right. Bravo!
mmm.. although its not a bad version of the toccata and fugue... I will prefer the clasical or organo version.... Much better... specially for felling the tentions and resolutions n the piece.... plus I think dinamics here are not as good as they should be....
You don't have to be rude. Your opinion is respected, but the terms are not. If YOU can do a better arrangement, do your best, but let us enjoy Mauriat's music as we choose to.
I never implied being rude, perhaps the caps did that. I just think that his performance on this video was a much better arrangement than the CD. That's all.
This was a much more completed and perfected version. Mauriat even admitted that. But if you like the CD version, that's totally fine. It's just a matter of preference, really. Cheers!
I beg to differ, I worked at Benaroya Hall in Seattle with the Seattle Symphony, and this music usually played before every showing. The conductors usually loved it.
The thing about music is that theres a whole area of Musical Arrangments and the klass thing about this is that anyone can take a pice to arrange and make it theirs. So you see Mauriat hasnt butchered Bach hes created his perfect arrangment.
I dont even like this version much but it annoys me to see someone who has put no thought into what they are saying and creates a stupid comment which reflects their musical airs. :)

What I find strange is how you guys are naming down Mauriat for simply covering a song in a way he liked. Really, it's just music.

i agree it was rather bad, not an assassination but not the best form of toccata....

Poor Bach... I'm sure he didn't deserve that extrange pop rock baroque homage. (By the way, only the toccata and 1 min of the fuge?)

As a lover Bach's brilliant music, I loved Mauriat's version.
He actually remains more faithful to the original than many other re-arrangers/composers do.

I disagree. The cd versio had that nice banging/vibrating sound at around the 2:00 mark here, if I remember correctly.

I've to respect your personal taste sir,but I am equally free to be disgusted of listening a musician while butchering a masterpiece -
may be he has done better but this rendition
is a meaningless exercise so far away from Bach musical message = There are a few nice samples of Bach updates on YT = Regards-
indigoblue555 4 years ago
I respect who does deserve it on my op.=
the same for you =
P.S. ask a classical music teacher pr a pro player about this poor remake = it's a matter of musical culture beyond pers.taste=

I just can say - if you get what I'm speaking about (I see others do not) pls go to YT several Bach updates renditions -
Have a nice day -
