Lisa Rydberg & Gunnar Idenstam - Badinerie (J.S. Bach, "Bach på svenska")

Badinerie from Orchestral suite no. 2 i h minor, by Johann Sebastian Bach. Lisa Rydberg (violin) and Gunnar Idenstam (reed organ) imagine what might have happened if Bach had come to Sweden and met Swedish folk musicians - how the music might have been if they had jammed together. Rydberg and Idenstam called their concert programme, and the CD released in 2007, "Bach på svenska" - "Bach in Swedish". This TV programme was recorded in June 2009 at Confidencen Slottsteater, Stockholm.

[jejejerororo]

why the piano sounds different ????

[kaarekjohnsen]

@jejejerororo It isn't a piano, but a pump organ.

[nubnub]

@kaarekjohnsen is it native instrument to norway?

[kaarekjohnsen]

@nubnub No, but it's very common in both Sweden and Norway (Rydberg and Idenstam are Swedish). I think its origin is European. It's also very common in India as the portable harmonium. Check out harmonium and reed organ (another name for pump organ) on Wikipedia!

I think this is a suction-system reed organ, also known as "American organ". The classic harmonium ‒ named from Debain's 1842 patent ‒ is a compression-system instrument. The difference is in the direction of the wind: sucked through the reeds or pushed through them. Indian harmoniums are compression-system.

But whatever the details of the instrument, it's a gorgeous sound and a wonderfully imaginative performance. Thank-you!

That organ sound is positively otherworldly (in a good way I mean)! It sounds like music at a dance party thrown by goblins (trolls?^^). Which is a way of saying I love it, it's so different.
