Johann Sebastian Bach: Fantasia et Fuga in c BWV 562 Andreas Fischer, Orgel St. Katharinen (Hamburg) 

Here after HM Queen Elizabeth II's funeral today. This was the piece played as her coffin and the procession left Westminster Abbey. Lovely that the fugue has been completed here.

Lieber Herr Fischer. Sie haben einen großen Bewunderer gewonnen! Sie sind ein echter Bach Apostel! Ihre Tempi sind immer angemessen und nicht vordergründig virtuos. Respekt!! Danke herzlich Ihr Robert Feyerabendt Organist aus Limburg an der Lahn

Это лучшее исполнение 562, которое я слышал. Браво, маэстро!

BACH, jedan i jedini❤️❤️❤️ Bravo maestro za ovo sjajno izvodjenje!👏👏👏💐

Belle interprétation et quel bel orgue

The high standard of Mr. Fischer's fugue completion can without doubt be hailed as a worthy extension of the Baroque organ repertoire. This does not alter the fact that, respectfully, a few remarks can be made here. It concerns the enormous and continuous density of the contrapuntal fabric in Mr. Fischer's own part of the now completed Fugue, as a result of which main points and side-one's issues in the devopments of all voices cannot be distinguished in the course of the performence. It is simply often too much, which in the long run is extremely tiring for the human ear. And concerning Bach's stacking technique, in particular in his 5- and also 6-part organ compositions (including the 6-part Ricercar from Das musikalisches Opfer), the fugue-complition contradicts even Bachs enormous sense of proportionality. My urgent advice to Mr. Fischer therefore reads: let the score of the now completed Fugue a 5 voci be reviewed again later - after lots of performences and in analyzes on the desk. A practice that Bach himself has used throughout his life, in his still inspiring pursuit of perfection. In this respect Johann Sebastian Bach is still of great importance to us, for all generations after him. Or to quote in this connection the words of Claude Debussy's alias Monsieur Croche from 1902 in his review of the premiere of (parts of) Louis Vierne's second organsymphony: Bach, that good god of music, to whom every composer should pray before going to work, in order to protect himself from mediocrity.

Eccellente!

Yes. Mr. Fischer is a man of Bach. I like his interpretations. I can feel that he is an organist who has rediscovered and understood the depth of Bach. Es is wonderful how he plays the organ.

Magnificent music, ditto organ and ditto Mr Fischer's musicianship; what a wonderful team-up, as it were. I think this is the organ that was ready in time for Harald Vogel to complete his series of the organ works of Buxtehude a generation ago. Time flies!

この全集もってます。カンタータはリヒター版ももってますが個人的には古楽器のピリオド奏法に自然さを感じていいです。いずれにしてもバッハはバッハです。

エリザベス女王の国葬で演奏されました

Is this the organ which was restored some years ago? The so-called "Bach Organ"? I visited the church while in Hamburg, but the organ was out being restored and a painting of it had been placed in the organ loft. I loved visiting the church, as I did Hamburg generally. The St Nicholai memorial was a particularly meaningful place for me to visit.

Wonderful! Whose completion of the fugue is this?

Королеву Елизавету хоронили под эту великую музыку

Was ist das für ein Manuskript? Wird das genannt?

belle interprétation de la fantaisie. on voit que la fugue n’est plus du Bach dans la suite. On dirait du Reger, Bruyant, on ne reconnait même plus le thème. Mais n’est pas Bach qui veut ......
