The Prelude and fugue in E minor, performed by Reitze Smits for All of Bach, one of the longest and most complicated organ works by Bach. It dates from his Leipzig period and is especially highly valued by lovers and connoisseurs of Bach’s organ music. Maarten ’t Hart describes the prelude as a forerunner of the lament of the wounded Amfortas in Wagner’s Parsifal, and thinks the fugue is ‘bewildering’, while the nineteenth-century Bach researcher Spitta even refers to it as ‘a two-part symphony’.
Recorded for the project All of Bach on September 16th 2014 at St Jacob's Church, Leeuwarden. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel bit.ly/2vhCeFB and consider donating bit.ly/2uZuMj5.

Mind blowing music and performance. Just reflecting on the lifetime of mental, physical and creative effort, the dedication and most probably the sacrifice, that has gone into the preparation of this performance. It is utterly moving that someone would do this and share with us for our entertainment and enlightenment.

Wunderschöne und tiefempfundene Aufführung dieses perfekt komponierten Tastenwerks im gut analysierten Tempo mit durchsichtigen doch warmherzigen Tönen der histosch wertvollen Orgel und mit sorgfältig kontrollierter Dynamik. Die Fuge klingt echt schön und auch detailiiert. Wahrlich intelligenter und genialer Organist!

What this exists??? I didn't even know until I checked the website. Why is this masterpiece unlisted??

@bach 2 года назад

Correct. On our website you will find more published works. That’s because we only started this channel in 2018, while All of Bach has existed since 2014. Eventually, all works will also be published on RU-vid.

@wouterattheorgan 10 месяцев назад

been to 2 concerts here recently and man this organ has such a dynamic range in terms of volume and sound timbre. from the 2 flutes on the rugwerk and hoofdwerk to the very filling prestant chorus which as sietze has shown can support a service no problems to the even greater mixture plenum with the reeds. cannot wait to play this sampleset when it comes out on Sweelinq :)

@rogernichols1124 9 месяцев назад

There's a relentless momentum in the prelude and an unremitting harmonic anchor-point in the minor key which gives the prelude a dramatic and almost tragic quality. The organo pieno registration is totally appropriate for sustaining this drama. As for the fugue, wow! What can one say other than if you want an insight into the mind of Bach, here it is: fugal writing of mind-boggling virtuosity and rising betond the conventional prelude-and-fugue pairing to heights of symphony majesty. I feel whsn listening to this that Bach is at the apex of his creative genius in a way not unlike Beethoven in his last string quartets. Thank you from the heart for this beautiful rendering of this masterpiece.

Tremendous masterpiece, all works for organ of BACH, are sublime, they go directly to the heavens, it is noticed that is a mature work may be comparable with the passacaglia and fugue in C minor, what a wonderful subject and incredible development. BACH for ever. Extraordinary interpretation.

Controlled Germanic musical excellence. Marvellous!! One did expect a pedal trill at the recapitulation of the Fugal section A at the end of the Fugue; and much more articulation (being a mechanical action organ?). Nevertheless, brilliant performance. Thank you. 😃

Bach would be ridiculous, if it were not first terrifying in the depths of what he found in his meditations. I speak as a casual, but perplexed listener… Yes, because who does not realize that Bach prayed more than he composed, or rather, composed himself to God more than he composed musical pieces -- this residual superabundance of his most intimate devotion. If there is musical sanctity, here is the angel among the choir of men.

@MarshallArtz007 10 месяцев назад

Bach’s greatest organ Prelude & Fugue, beautifully played. I prefer to hear the piece played with contrasting manual changes in the secondary chromatic sections of the Prelude and the toccata sections of the Fugue. The all-full-organ-all-the-time approach can be a little tiresome for the ears.

A very sound and wonderful interpretation of this wonderful piece of music by Bach. I'm concert organist too, and I have another view about the way of playing this masterpiece of Bach but I like the soundness of his interpretation. It's a real and convincing Bach.
