Johann Sebastian Bach: Fantasia in G (Piece d'Orgue) BWV 572 - Organist's place -

[MyOrganist]

I like it. Good registration, tempo in keeping with the style and acoustics of the Church. Well done.

[henrybird26]

It's a baroque voice tracker action organ. Probably low wind pressure. If my ears aren't deceiving me.

[twisterbaba]

Fantastic performance! very very very cool to be with the organist in what HE hears... Thanks for posting!

[MrJdsenior]

Is that a tracker??

[henrybird26]

@MrJdsenior I think that's a track action organ.

[ahabadong]

I thought my speaker was broken turned out it was just the video.

[DominusDeoSabaoth]

Deafness??

[noteworthy99]

A very interesting perspective on what the organist hears. Delay in response, any operational problems in the instrument and the sometimes delayed reverb must make an already fiendishly complex instrument very difficult to play well. A very enjoyable and well played piece.

[revalison1]

Oh, and the playing's excellent by the way.

[revalison1]

please come on guys - the video camera is at the console and as is pointed out below this gives the sound as the player hears it.  Enjoy that for what it is - don't complain, and welcome to our world - we often don't get to hear what the audience hears.

[Offshoreorganbuilder]

@revalison1 I can't believe that this is all the player hears. If I had to deal with an organ that sounded so muffled at the console, I would think it a failure, and so would the organist. It would be good to have the piece recorded again, and with better-placed microphones or whatever else it takes to get the thing *right*! (Good piece, though, and excellently played from what I could hear. Thanks.)

[The48robert]

Playing is OK........sound quality is terrible!!!!!!!

[ppppggggggg]

Herzlichen Dank für dieses Video! - ich würd mal sagen, das ist die im ganzen youtoube eindeutig schlüssigste, interessanteste, überzeugenste Version von BWV 572 - nur leider mit ganz miesem Audio.. Wär toll, wenn Du das nochmal mit besserer Qualität aufnehmen und hier reinstellen könntest, Sebastian?..

[MSCompuServ]

Inverted key colors? Is this an old original design for early organs?

[waldek22042009]

Great performance, bad recording.

[Sundancetr4]

He's playing an organ solo...solo I cant hear it

[mattstamper]

Brilliant!



[donkeytrousers]

All those who think it's too quiet, should understand that you are hearing the sound as the organist hears it, not as it is in the rest of the building. It's not one we get to hear very often.

[peteacher52]

Someone forgot to take the pillows off the microphone. What an insult to a fine organist. Ans a waste of our precious and expensive broadband allotment.

[OceanderTethyseus]

i like the part in the video where i never visit this page again

[SamoriahGames]

If ears could squint, that's what mine were doing.

[MrOrganist007]

I can play it loudlier!!! :D

[BillyRosinet]

No sound to speak of. Please repost this video or remove it.

[GABOR6239]

Pompás,ellenben halk! :D

[RogueHarry]

Excellente interprétation.

[poopingeneral]

The organ and your playing are simply fantastic! The organ has a deep rich sound, and your playing as astonishing as Bach may have been.

[PerrrfictKats]

Great playing....but please repost as the sound is too faint.....

[gamusicus]

This has to be the best performance I've ever heard of this! Bravo!!!

[ignazkoller]

Toll gespielt... Danke!

[MrPrivatsphaere]

zu leise registriert am anfang versteht man fast gar nix.

[keanur1]

Mais pourquoi est-ce que le volume est si faible?? dommage qu'on n'entende à peu près rien de cette belle exécution... Qui joue? on dirait Mireille Lagacé...

[sweelinck99]

non si sente un accidenti di niente comunque sembra che il ragazzo prometta ...

se son rose ...

bye robert

[themates46]

You know play on the organ : AWESOME AWESOME

[beboos1]

I sometimes play the Grave section for both prelude and postlude, but not that damn fast.

[pollodiescc]

Bravissimo

[lexicon2007]

Great performance; well done!

[kantor72]

Sehr gut gespielt, bravo!

[silex17]

Herrlich gespielt! Der Klangflut ist reich und dicht, die Musik atmet, und doch ist nichts sentimental oder übertrieben (außer vielleicht ganz zum Schluß), alles hat Sinn und Maß und findet seine Zeit. Herzlichen Dank!

[musikfotos]

Einer der ganz großen Klais-Orgeln. Noch die alte Schule. Unverwechselbar. Aber kann es sein, dass die Klaviaturen neu garniert werden müsste, oder ist die Kamera am Spieltisch befestigt?

[chwidder]

I liked the first two parts, but the third one wasn't quite "lentement" enough for my taste.

[SuperDortmunder]

Great sound?? I have to put the volume so high that I hear just a little bit.

But the playing style is great! Nice!

[maxcohen13]

@SuperDortmunder

Agreed. Great playing, no doubt. But the mic needed to be closer to the organ than the console. I could hear all the clicking from the keys being depressed as much as I could hear the notes!

Yet, again, great performance.

[4676adam1]

Looks like a tough monster to control. After 50+years of playing, this is one that might put a dent in my confidence!

[clotter234567]

Eccelso!!!

[JFSnail]

BRAVO!!  absolutely magnificent! You have made Bach's music sing! :-)

[giovdan]

Great sound!
