i always think when i hear this cantate: this is punk avant la lettre. how can you mix those melodies, that persistant, so beautiful? i really really really live a better life because of this genious music.

bach is the only excuse for christianity.

Wonderful, I never tire of this, I come often to listen to it - I have to say this is my all time favorite version of this LOVELY, LOVING and deeply reverent melody. I like the pace of it and the cadence, it is just PERECT, Thanks Aarnoud, hope you get this

[dolofonos]

@vonkima I do not think Bach would agree with you. Whatever it was he heard when he wrote this, you are not hearing the same thing; him the voice of God, and you I cannot say.

magic...

Dit is een geweldige performance van Aarnoud de Groen van dit prachtige lied 'Wachet auf'.

I was listening to this without watching the vid (clicked on a Bach playlist), and thought surely this had to be two or three people playing this piece...I know nothing about playing the piano or organ, but this looks mad hard...

Oh, and vonkima's comment about Christianity...You know not what you speak...It's because of God's grace and mercy that you even get to listen to music like this...and if it wasn't for Him giving you half a brain, u couldn't spell Christianity. Much love from Kansas.

[MrLobback]

Angemessen interpretiert. Danke.

[SMFortissimo]

You perform this piece magnificently

[michelbosman]

Mijn reactie, is dit al een heel oud Orgels steuk is, door duizende orgelnisten

gespeeld.Maar het blijft nieuw.Laten wij dit behouden, Ook voor ons nageslagt.

Sir Aarnoud de Groen, I have to thank you personally for your beautifully correct yet soulful performing of "Wachet Auf".

I must agree with sybilla07. This is the tempo that captures Bach's spirit and your performance just made my day. I've been browsing yotube for days now trying to find a worthy performance and nothing satisfied me untill I found your marvellous work.

I'll definitely check your website. I wish you all the best.

@Zeobit I doubt anyone here even imagined to compare the two.
