Bach would have been proud of this performance from a younger player in my opinion. I sometimes wonder how many alterations he made to this piece later in his life since the only extant sources are later copies. Non in his own hand. And all bach lovers know how he liked to re visit old versions of his work. What a perfectionist. He had to re visit already perfect pieces (mainly speaking of WTC’s) and update them. Best musician ever in my opinion. I love that people hate classic music, I love people hate Bach and love classical music and I love that people appreciate all music because our differences make us unique and every single human being including identical twins are unique - a subject too deep to go into further but I will end with this: the simply/actual reason we (humans) question or more so even consider or allow others to consider without calling them crazy that there is a creator, higher power means that surely there could be. If there wasn’t then we (humans) wouldn’t even be thinking about it. So there literally has to be a possibility that there is. Because if it wasn’t why do we as a species even think about it. We were all created, so we are not the creators. We were created: just like the planet we live on and just like the planet lives in. I am not religious. But before you reject religion consider this ❤not all forms of religion have to worship a god but to me the word god means creator and there most certainly must have been a creator
Andrea Marcon und purista dell`organo e dello stile di Monteverdi e Frescobaldi e dei musicisti iniziatori dell`epoca Barocca. Gustav Leonhardt ne sarebbe orgoglioso !
I have heard this composition before, but with very different registration. Neither one is wrong, but the sound is so different that they sound like different compositions, although if I puzzle over them, I can recognize that the notes are the same.
Music aside, the camerawork at 6:21 is particularly dramatic, adding a lot to the experience. Reminds of 60s TV recordings, which comprised a similar degree of symbolism.
Waarom is dat ouwe lijk nog steeds organist van de SLK? Wordt het niet eens tijd voor een jongere condidaat? En engels spreken kan hij ook al niet tering.
This composer conveys a sense of mystery I find amazing. In all my years of studying and playing organ I am just now discovering his amazing compositions. Than you for presenting.
Maria Vekilova mi ha sollecitato a riprendere a suonare all' organo il preludio in Do+ che avevo studiato per il saggio in Conservatorio per il 6° anno, dopo aver superato l' esame del V ° di pianoforte con una sonata di Beethoven composizioni di JSBach, Schumann. Abbastanza per essere in grado di eseguire un preludio per organo BWV .
Dietrich Buxtehude is één van de meest onderkende komponisten uit de muziekgeschiedenis. Bach besefte wel wat voor genie Buxtehude was, het was zijn leermeester, en in de orgelmuziek zijn ze nauwelijks te onderscheiden.
Uusväli is superb as one would expect but for me nobody beats Leo Van Doeselaar's live performance in the Netherlands Bach Society series. He also has better sound.
Buxthedude was the King of the Quintatön at 16' and 8' pitches - It is the super chameleon stop that can transform a passage, line, or used in combinations across all manuals. Completely changes the texture of the music. It has to be a European Quintatön as the American "Skinner" et al. Quints are way too strong for using it in a chorus. They should help not hinder a passage. Beautiful rendition on a magnificent instrument that is not heard/seen often as the "Other instrument" in the monumental Nidarosdomen.
Non capisco che tipo di passaggi dita, vedo tipo il 2 che scavslca il 5, passaggio del mignolo e altre stranezze. Fanno parte di una tecnica organistica in particolare?
Clap! Whistle! Stamp!! Certainly one of the better performances of this work which is one of the very few I never tire of hearing no matter how often. This wonderful organ was made famous, as you know, by the recordings of Helmut Walcha, Fernando Germani in the '50s and later, by the titulaire Piet Kee from the '60s onwards.
Very good performance, Im glad to hear younger musicians playing this piece of music and piece of art. Just a small thing from me. I play the organ as well and this is my all time favourite piece to play, when I start to practice almost every day I play it on the local church organ once atleast. In the video we can hear that this organ is tuned to a bit lower key or freqencie, so It was like performed by the sheet music telling C minor, in reality the organ was doing h minor, but still fantastic great job! :)
The beginning two pedal notes are the same! Why do you and so many other organists insist on changing the second note? Play it the way it was written. If you don't like the way Buxtehude wrote the piece, write your own.
