Organ lll/P/62 built by Christian Müller between 1735-1738. One of the finest period organs in the Netherlands. The organ case, which is likewise of extraordinary beauty, was made by the sculptor Jan van Logteren.

  • One of the best performances of Bach's Toccata in F, an other one being Michel Chapuis' interpretation at the Schnitger in the Grote Kerk in Zwolle from 1968. Wonderful photos, thanks for posting.

  • A magnificent presentation!!

  • Stunning. Absolutely beautiful listening experience. That any human being could conceive of such extraordinary music, then compose and perform it, is almost beyond comprehension. JS Bach was other-worldly.

  • Quel panard ! Mais quel panard !

    Ce morceau dantesque s'écoute - non, se prend en pleine gueule - sur une chaîne de 2 * 15 milliards de watts, et procure au minimum un orgasme de puissance pure par minute.

    Merci Marie Claire.

    Celui qui n'a pas aimé s'est trompé de site, il voulait certainement aller sur facebook et répondre à K3V1N-KikOolOL qui postait un avis sur le dernier concert de Grand Corps Maladroit.

  • Usted Maria Claire es la mejor intérprete de Bach al órgano que he escuchado. Larga vida y poder disfrutar eternamente de su arte e interpretación. Saludos.

  • That's a very apt description of the ending, PTC483. I would add "and then coming in for a nice landing." I've heard a few crashes is my day (and made one or two of my own) getting to the end of this piece. Whenever I don't know what to do I always refer to the wonderful recordings of Marie-Claire Alain. Her taste is unquestionalble.

  • Wow! All that energy! Best performance I've heard of this wonderful warhorse, including recordings I have by E. Power Biggs and Finn Videro.
