J.S. Bach- Trio Sonata C major BWV529a

This video has been made for a PhD research called 'Combining the avant-garde and the historical in improvisation, composition and interpretation', which Willem Tanke carries out at Leiden University and Orpheus Institute, Ghent. The aim of this artistic research is to liberate and deepen the interpretation of organ works by J.S. Bach, by developing an original, 21st century language as a pianist and an organist, inspired by Olivier Messiaen, John Coltrane and music from the East. The idea behind this is that Bach, Messiaen and Coltrane within their own context were very open-minded towards music from other cultures and striving for the divine. The recording was made on the ancient Freytag-organ in Noordwolde, beautifully restored by Mense Ruiter, on April 30, 2010. See also www.willemtanke.com

very expressive, contemplative tempo. Well suited for this trio sonata than most of the lightning fast versions on here. Bravo!!

The Little Fugue is still there. See

While I love this piece I'm pretty sure that I have seen on YouTube Willem Tanke playing Bachs little fugue in g minor on this same Organ which I thought to be the best I've ever seen (and heard ) it done.sadly I think it has been removed now,or maybe I was just having a senior moment.
