J. S. Bach - Prelude in C minor BWV 546/1 (Luca Massaglia; organ of Nantes Cathedral) 

This organ was truly a masterpiece ✝️

Such a masterpiece destroyed on purpose! Such a madman!

So sad, such a loss.

Majestic peace, heaven... in this sad day...

Heartbreaking these are truly the end times indeed...

My heart is completely broken. I can't take any more bad news.

Such a loss, a masterpiece lost because someone was angry he couldn't get his papers....

A shame this organ can never be heard again. A great loss for all mankind.

It's so sad. Notre Dame's organ may have been spared by an awful fire, but Nantes Cathedral wasn't so lucky, and it's just tragic. A pipe organ is such a beautiful thing, and losing such a treasure is just downright devastating.......... An identical replica maybe built, but the history and originality behind the organ is something that just can't be replaced...............

The loss of the pipe organ, considered the king of instruments, is what saddens me the most. I hope they can repair it. 🎹🎼🎶

Mil gracias!!!; Éste video es JOYA HISTÓRICA, porque HOY el mundo organario está de DUELO...Perdimos una valiosa joya. Dios te bendiga Lucha Massaglia, SDS desde Argentina!!!!

Wonderful and Joyful music!

Perfect playing and great organ!

Thank you so much, Evelina. I wish you all the best for your career as organist.

WAS FÜR EIN KLANG! Il faut réconstruire cet instrument. À tout prix!

I loved this masterpiece since my early days!

love this melody

Wunderful playing ! Just the right Tempi - himmlische Polyphonie . J.S.Bachs BWV 546 strahlt im Thema des Präludio eine eigentümliche Ruhe in der Themenentwicklung aus.

Thank you for listening and for your positive comment.

Great playing !

Merci. Quel instrument magifique - Massaglia joue d´une forme modeste et transparent l´orgue à Nantes d´un son admirable a été detruit par l´incendie le mois de June 2020. Criminalité ? L´hasard? Folie? Personne ne le sait jamais.

Great Bach performance Luca! Greetings from Hubgary! :)

que triste que alguien pensara destruir un instrumento tan bello y antiguo quiero llorar. DESDE MÉXICO

Thank you very much!

Thank you for your comment.

Great! I play some organ too but I'm only 15 so I'm not very good yet, but I will be just as good as you, I hope! Really good!

Excellent tempo. And although it seems fun to open all the pedal 16 and 32s, it is overkill. This is well-registered, I think.

❤

Complete loss. This is all that’s left of the instrument. The recordings. Unimaginable.

@sejra Thank you very much for your kind comment.

Not bad, It is important to keep pace, let all the different threads come through, no rubatos and changes in tempo. There is a slight tendency of drag, thats all. Fine.

Such a tragedy and an historical loss to a beautiful instrument and sound. Perhaps when a new instrument is installed it can capture the the old and give something new as well.

@etienne7101 Merci beaucoup!

SAD DAY!

😪

the news say, it was arson. No normal fire can sart at three different places at same time. if it was arson. what is going on in the mind of people doing that???

😪😪😪

Quel horreur que ces grandes orgues magnifiques, irremplaceables soient détruites par un geste de malfaisance insensée, maboule. Cela me fait vomir...

I hope, the police finds this terrible, crazy person, before he destroys other beautiful churches and - organs. I hope they give this person a lifelong stay in jail !

ecoutez le en silence ,plus jamais vous l'entendrez!
