  • Has anyone noted that there is an organ playing witht he strings and such. Now take a look at the organ console - No one is there. Imagine building an organ with two console, one is electric. So why did anyone waste time building a tracker organ if it is played with pull down magnets?

  • Indeed the organ behind is a tracker organ, but the organ that is played is a [pipe] chamber organ built by Robin Jennings who also built "Bach Organ" for John Eliot Gardiner and two chamber organs for Robert King (of The King's Consort). The small organ was used here because we perform at Baroque pitch A=415 Hz, which is 1/2 step lower than today's modern pitch. The big organ behind is built to play at 440 Hz, and it would be difficult to play it 1/2 step lower.

  • beautiful <3

  • Easier on a guitar with 1/2 step lower; beautiful organ sound but volume lower or played pianissimo !

  • @SilverlakeDehners That's there to keep the people in the mosh pit from colliding with the musicians. Makes it harder to stage dive.

  • If someone coughs, I'm outta here

  • ahh there's nothing like bach

  • Lovely performance...but it's time to knock down the concrete wall that hides the musicians!

  • Un regalo como lo es la obra de Bach entera.

  • Perfecto, nítido, dulce... ¡genial!

  • ahhhhh que buen bach calido y armonico.felicitaciones

  • Hermosa viola da gamba, la combinación tímbrica con los violines y el oboe es perfecta.
