Este señor es un gran maestro. Gracias por este video.

Both the organ (digital!!) and the interpretation are simply marvellous! I bow to you, Mr. Marshall.

[Chesterbarnes1]

Mr. Marshall's playing this piece is so lovely especially the beginnng of the second section...heavely...legato is so wonderful. Thank you sir!

[Fireball1787]

Outstanding performance!

We had the Prelude as my wife's (Anne) Entrance Music at our wedding.

Every time I hear this marvellous piece I am reminded of Bach's utter genius and that of the organists who are capable of playing this masterpiece so well.

Thank you so much, Mr Marshall!

[BillyRosinet]

Can I have one of these organs for my living room? :)

[karlakor]

This is the only organist I have ever heard who speeds up the tempo at 1:30, and I am so glad to hear it! Everyone else soldiers on in the same tempo established at the beginning, but I have always felt that this section should be faster in order to better express the bouncing, exuberant nature of the motive. This change of tempo is very much in keeping with the spirit of the different texture!

[StarkeChris]

I don't know what to say.. it's so incredibly beautiful to listen to you!!! I'm playing the organ for seven years now and this has always been my most favorite piece of Bach! It's one of my greatest dreams to play this one day.. Just wunderful!!!

[gelpgimLa22]

That jump in volume that occurs at 7:30, can only be done with this type of organ does not?

[crob647gtx]

That is an amazingly beautiful console. Would love to have just an hour on it.

The power of Bach's music and the power of the organ become fully evident in Doug's stunning performance. I actually got goosebumps listening to this piece. Such a refreshing change from those musicians who play all of the notes correctly on one registration. The M&O organ is positively the best of all the rest, i.e. Rodgers, Allen, etc.

[Chesterbarnes1]

I wish I had the opportunity when a younger man to study under Fox and Marshall what a wonderful priviledge. Thank Doug

[Chesterbarnes1]

Bravo! Everytime I listen to this piece it moves me. I can't listen enough. Thank you Marshall for your excellent performance.

[Chesterbarnes1]

I'm anxious to know how the arrangement of these coupler work? Does this meet AGO specs? Curious? How comfortable would Organist be with this new arrangements? I've got to see a Marshall & Ogletree Opus organ. Seeing and playing, is believing. I'm researching now. Thanks Doug?

[organpower]

@Chesterbarnes1 We've certainly tried to make this a comfortable fully-AGO console. The order of the controls is pretty standard, the same as you'd find in a typical stop tab console. The terraced design simply moves the tabs to the sides, but the same logical order is applied. If you're researching and would like more info, why not drop us a note through our web site (address in the description above)? Just go to the contact page. We'd love to hear from you.

Mr. Marshall plays with such superb fingering. To watch his technique, and mastery of the organ is absolutely awesome! Wow! Precision, accuracy and balance, just wonderful, he is making music. Bach would be pleased! I don't see any couplers on the organ?

[organpower]

@Chesterbarnes1 Thanks so much for your kind comments. The couplers are the black tabs located among the stops. You'll see that there are quite a few.

Who is this Doug Marshall?

[SuperOldandSlow]

@Chesterbarnes1 He is one of the two founders of the organ builder Marshall & Ogletree. The instrument on which he is playing is one that his company built. See the above information.

[Chesterbarnes1]

The last time I heard this piece was the the funeral of Queen's Mother. How wonderfully played by Mr. Marshall...thank you sir, I just love it! Bless you!

[MrBooker39]

Really fine playing! To be honest, I think the ending of the fugue is just a bit over the top, but the performance as a whole is powerful and musically persuasive. Thanks for a rewarding posting!

[ReplicatorFifth]

wow

[mikejunior80]

[rasalas2x]
