Bach - BWV 653 - An Wasserflüssen Babylon

From the Leipziger Chorale, An Wasserflüssen Babylon BWV 653. My first organ video, it's not exactly the ultimate in video producing and editing :) Have to get used to this process. Anyway it is the music that counts, and that is not too bad I hope. The Flentrop organ (1978) has recently been serviced and fitted with a nice new Krummhorn register which I put to good use here.

Danke schon Herr Bach - doch meine name ist nicht Andreas :)

Nice playing and nice little organ, Chris. Also a good video technique (only the format at some places is "squeezed" a bit, but that doesn´t matter).

Thanks Andreas. Not sure what you mean with squeezed. I did film some parts with the camera sideways, not a good idea in hindsight, is that what you mean ? As for the black areas left and right, I guess that is because the aspect ratio of camera and Youtube don't match. The picture is not squeezed, only best-fitted.

Jawohl Andreas so ist es sehr gut gespielt - eine richtige Wonne fuer meine Ohren - obzwar in Graben - excellent performance, voice choice - tempo - everything you got it right Ihr hochachtungsvoll JOhann Seb Bach Cantor zu Leipziger Knaben Schule

Yes, I think I mean the sideways filmed parts. But all these format problems are not really important for me any more. You only can loose a lot of time with thinking about that. Anyway, a good video!
