All credit to the musicians, I'm sure they're all very familiar with the music they normally play and then this!! How can they not just cry with delight with these arrangements that push thier talents. Respect
I doubt you'll ever see this, but to the horn player, I love your low-down tone. Great "fat" sound. Not enough players know how to embrace the raspiness below middle C. The notes leading up to that A in the opening statements really have some kick. Smashed it. From a former player.
Thank you for that. The horn player is called Sam Pearce. He is Rainer Hersch's regular horn player. We will get the message to him and are sure he will be delighted with your very informed comments.
Oh, and I meant G...it's been a long time since I've played and I went a fifth in the wrong direction! I used to play 4th in a bunch of youth orchestras due to my low-down ability (my embouchure was rubbish so I'd tire with constant high notes). I did, however, complete my A.Mus.A (in Australia) in 2003, but I chose not to make music my career, and with university and life getting in the way, I gave up a few years later and haven't played since. I still love listening to music, and hearing a good horn player with great tone still excited me. All the best.
i have just come across the guy Rainer Hersch ..... if that's what happens at his concerts then i have been missing out ..... a very remarkable act and very funny too .......... i will be looking to see if he is coming to my area so i can get tickets
I love this piece played on the organ for which it was written but i must admit Rainer Hersch certainly makes u laugh with his interpretations of different music. It must give the orchestras he works with a change to play a known piece but to totally differently arrangement. It us a lot if fun.
Considering how much Bach himself played around with music, his innumerable variations on a theme, does this not fall into the same theme of play? I wouldn't say that they "spoiled" it. They played with it using styles and techniques that Bach didn't have. They aren't claiming to be playing Bach's work faithfully (though what is that, really?). It's an experiment and everyone in the audience knows that. What I mean by "playing it faithfully" is that Bach was so prolific in his writing that he couldn't write each part the way musicians receive them now. They'd get basic themes and notes but the score wouldn't be complete in the way we know them now. I'd bet that there's more than one piece of Bach's that if he heard them today he'd say that they aren't being played they way he intended. I agree with you, though. The integrity of Bach's works are so sound that they stand up to experiments like this.
This is so much Fun !.. I associate Toccata & Fugue in D Minor with scary movies, Vincent Price, and such, anyway... So I was thinking of Price's Dr. Phibes dancing and "gettin' Funky" with this version... Great fun ! .. Thank You !
Pyotr Leflegin--Let's leave it at those 40 (now 78 as of 11/20/19) haven't been trained well enough in music to recognize the influence that the Classical Master had/have on the successive generations of musicians and composers (and conductors).
There is nothing humorous in this. Just a terrible mess of Bach (which, by the way, has a marvelous drive by itself, doesn't need this kind of creepy versions) and mambo, which I also like as such. Just a complete waste of time, energy and musicianship. Boring!
musikerman52 it’s just a bit of fun to liven up a piece that’s getting a bit boring and very overplayed for anyone, especially organists such as myself, the original is albeit an amazing piece but this isn’t to be taken seriously at all...
@@musikerman52 somebody's got a stick up their butt. :-) come on man lighten up-- we got enough trouble these days without somebody being old poopy face
In few years, the Capital of Indonesia will move to East Kalimantan (the name of the new capital is not decided yet), so maybe this video need to renew the question 😅
