Essere il successsore del Kantor J.S. Bach, suonare su un organo nella stessa chiesa in cui operò per più di vent'anni le sue melodie con uno stile così piacevole! La ringrazio e un po' la invidio Herr Bohme e vorrei un giorno almeno visitare la chiesa di S. Tommaso, ascoltare dal vivo una sua performance e posare per un attimo le mani sullo strumento per trarne una semplice melodia bachiana

+John Smith Dont get why some people hate so much religion and cant respect others beliefs. I respect you for not believing in God, why cant you respect them for believing in God. Religion does not have anything to do with inteligence, remember that.
Благодарю канал за счастье слушать прекрасную музыку,за радость и наслаждение творчеством гения. Разве не чудо, сидя дома, слушать орган? Бесконечно вам благодарна.
Wow this thing barks! 32' bourdon?! 32' trombone? I wish I could hear this in person! The cabinet is so minimal, so classy, and the Bach seal in the middle of the facade is the cherry on top. Superb. The finest "thank you" Bach's church could offer him.The sound is dry and tight, no slop. Bach would've loved it. Before I die, I must visit the Thomaskiche, hear this instrument, and leave flowers and a piece of music paper saying "Großes Danke , Herr Bach" on his grave. His music has helped me retain and regain my sanity since I discovered his music in my early teens. I still can't play it for shit tho... he makes it sound so easy... "just hit the right notes at the right times." Yeah! Sure! =o)
A marvelous performance. And the organ sounds exceptionally good. So many organ recordings (it seems to me) are marred by sound so gloriously overpowering, it can be a little hard to hear what is actually being played. Not this one. Instead of an massive flood of sound, what we hear is a reminder of Bach's overwhelming achievement. Thanks for uploading.
Hi, hope this isn't too intrusive, but if you are searching for God, He's already there. God lovingly sent his son Jesus to sacrifice his life for your sins so that you could be saved and enter into a relationship with God. All you have to do is to accept Jesus into your heart and life as your lord and savior. God is waiting.
Это просто вечность ,которую мы не знаем , это бытие всех и вся ,это бессмертная душа , это полет ,это печаль и радость ,это Создатель ,это Творец ,вот что это величайшее произведение ,великого гения !
Sweet organ. Bach unlocks the logic/math/programming side of my brain. But as a Christian the magnificence of God are illustrated in 250 year old musical notes to the point that it brings a tear to my eyes. Let your passion for God be unlocked by JS Bach. (Wish I was custodian at that church for just a couple of years.) I didn't realize this was a live event. Usually somebody in the audience has a crude un-stifled death-defying coughing fit. Congrats on the good health and decency of the audience.
J'ai eu l'immense plaisir d'écouter un concert dans cette église à l'occasion de mes vacances 2019 en Allemagne, j'ai été ravi, de plus j'ai pu me recueillir sur la tombe de JS BACH, grand moment de ma vie.
I enjoyed the tempo of the first piece (BWV 565), as well as the tuning of the organ. Both are not the "usual" for this well known work, so it was refreshing to hear. Even the little embellishments slipped in here and there were a pleasant surprise. Ullrich Bohme seems so relaxed and confident in this playing and the camera work was excellent. Well done in all areas. Thanks for sharing this piece.
After reading the comments below, it is obvious that you just can not please some people no matter how good it sounds and how much work you have put into it. Ignore the naysayers. Bach would be proud to hear this and know his music lives on. the written music is a guideline that can be improved on. Was J. S perfect? Was he a God? Vive la difference.
"Never go into an argument with a dumb persons. They will drag you down to theire level and win by experience". - very good point Ole! Will keep for future reference
Many thanks for the upload, Vadim! Wonderful instrument, great musician, with brilliant Bach. To me, music is a fundmental part of life - after silence, which is rarely available in my environment.
loloprad Cette fugue en ré mineur est extraordinaire de virtuosité et éclate littéralement de joie. Il souligne l'évidence de la profonde foi en Dieu de son compositeur J.S.Bach ! Bravo à M.l'organiste de grand talent !
Thanks for uploading! This fits perfectly my school assignment to write a couple of concert reviews with organ music, because I can't go to actual concerts right now.
+John Smith - Bach thought otherwise. Denying the intangible does suggest that that which is not observable in the everyday three dimensions also does not exist.
Not everything that is unseen, exists. If there is a God - and no objective observation requires one - the next question is, "Which one(s) is (are) genuine"? When you can disprove the existence of Ganesh, come back to me.
A nice touch: J. S. Bachs monogram is in a very prominent place on the organ casing: Bach's initials JSB superimposed on their mirror image. This monogram was designed by Bach himself, normally this monogram was topped with a crown, wich is absent here.
Just visited Leipzig last week, unfortunately there where no open performances as they where preping for the Bach festival, but it was marvelous to visit this church and the Bach museum.
Johann Sebastian Bach. Organ Concert in St. Thomas Church. Ullrich Bohme (organ) ПОТРЯСАЮЩЕ!!! ВОСХИТИТЕЛЬНО!!! ПРЕВОСХОДНО!!! МУЗЫКА ВСЕЛЕННОЙ... МУЗЫКА БАХА -МОЕ ВСЕ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wonder of Wonders... we humans still exist after all the crap we have pulled on this world... AND THIS PIECE OF MUSIC NEGATES ALL THE NASTINESS OF HUMANS.
Lucyfur Feralcat There is a story that when aliens came to this planet they thought of doing away with humans. When they heard the music of Bach and Mozart they decided humans should be reprieved.
This is not a "Bach organ", it is a modern realisation based on some specifications Bach made. It was completed by 2000. If he had this monster with all its stops he would have written stuff like Bruckner. Most organs Bach had are to be found around Erfurt, Muhlhausen etc, they were much simpler. A witness commented when Bach was commissioning an organ that he selected the oddest registration combinations, but they actually worked!
cadogan west It is called the "Bach Organ" because it was designed for playing Bach's music. He occassionally had access to some rather large instruments such as the instruments of the Marienkirche in Lübeck when he travelled to see Buxtehude. This instrument is built in that style.
Dieses Konzert statt vielleicht am 2000 an - oder danach, aber in der Nähe 2000, wann der Bach-Orgel eingeweiht wurde (durch Orgelbauer Gerald Woehl, Marburg, gebauten). Diese Orgel kenne ich von tausend Stunden zu hören. Orgel laut den überlebenden Projekt von Johann Christoph Bachs (Onkel Sebastian Bach und Organist und Musiker in Eisenach), und von Stertzing Brüder, Eisenach, zwischen 1698-1707 in der Georgenkirche Eisenach gebaut wurde. Sebastian Bach vielleicht nicht vorher 1732 dieser Orgel kennen konnte. Die Bach-Orgel der Thomaskirche Leipzig, klingt wie die anderen (alten/18. Jahrhundert) Thüringen Orgeln, welcher Bach am liebsten. Über Professor Ullrich Böhme - Organist der Thomaskirche seit 1992 - er ist für mich ein von den besseren Bach-Interpreten.
All the organs that Bach might have played on in the St. Thomas Church were already gone by the end of the 18th century. The main organ in the the church is a romantic organ installed 1885-1889 and is unsuited for playing Bach. For that reason they installed a second organ in the church in 2000 (the one being played here) that is built to resemble a baroque organ of Bach's day. It is unequally tempered and can by shifted from chamber to church pitch easily by a lever.
AML2000 Just to augment my comment. Bach wasn't employed in Leipzig as an organist, but as the Kantor of the St. Thomas Choir School and city Kappelmeister. That doesn't mean that he didn't play the organ in this church, just that it wasn't his regular job. He was employed as the organist by the Duke of Saxe-Weimar, but the organ he played there went up in smoke along with the palace in the late 18th century!. The organ he played in Arnstadt still seems to be there thought.
"unsuited". do you also believe that the violin and cello partitas should be performed using baroque viols with slack bows? both joshua bell and yo yo ma would laugh at you. why are those instruments allowed to evolve and not the organ?
AML2000 Are you certain the 19C organ survived WW2? To my knowledge, this church incurred catastrophic damage. I wouldn’t be surprised if the “Romantic” organ in the church is a partial or total reconstruction. It’s not always easy to get clear info on how much this or that German church was reconstructed.
As Virgil Fox once said about Bach, "He has the red blood." The organist here has the red blood too. No purist, plodding, pedantic interpretation from this guy. Exciting playing by someone with real skills and talent.
The prelude and fugue in F major is absolutely spectacular except the use of staccato touch everywhere denies the harmonic connections which are different. Some should be staccato and some should be linked by connections. There should be a slight pause on each of the HIGH NOTES before descending with the following chords. A slight delay in the speed of the music but a relief to the ear and mind. It is like looking at someone´s face longer than you might look at their shoes.
