  • ... keep in mind that the organs Bach played in Leipzig were in fact tuned to A480 and not A440.... even though this organ isn't tuned exactly to A480 its closer than A440. With that in mind it is tuned to perfect temperament and not Neidhardt or O'Donnell Bachian temperament, which therefore renders it relatively inaccurate to the time despite the pitch shift.

  • There are certain cadences in Bach's organ music that is a testament to his mastery of composition...one such is at 3:35...it just sounds so natural...the logic flows through the music...

    There is another one in the Toccata, Adajio and Fuge in C major....

    I'll try to find the time reference and post it later..

  • La musique c'est basée sur le discours. Et J. S. Bach lui a connait très bien. Ne c'est pas possible dans cette musique que ne sentir pas d'une beaucoup grand eloquence, en ordonnant à nous de fermer notre bouche, baisser notre têtes et inspirer sa message du plus riche et grand pouvoir divine. Quel beauté de musique!

  • Impressive. Fine instrument and performance.

    Interesting to see the differences between various artist's rendering. My favorite interpretation is Fox's. I'm wondering if he simply took some liberties with some of the transitions, sustaining them for emphasis, or are many today just in a hurry? (serious, respectful question)

  • Turning pages...that's my job :D

  • This performance sounds like a bit of a spin-off from the Koopman version...

  • @Brenniman65 désolé si je vous ai choqué......mais il y a tant de critiques injustes parfois !!!!

  • @guglielmiable What?? As an organist myself with degrees in classical AND popular music I'm well able to "listen" with an ear of perfect pitch frequency and if I "criticize," it is CONSTRUCTIVE criticism which leaves us "open' to "listen" to constructive criticism also, makes us more "professional..."

  • magnifique !

  • R

    épondre à cette vidéo... il faut écouter et non toujours critiquer !!!
