You have two versions of this video and I watch both of them all the time. People in this category are not just organists. They are performing artists using works of art that are actual feats of mechanical engineering. Not only do they know what notes to press but at the proper time using couplers to increase the magnificence of it all. Top it off with the learned ability to pick stops that add color,depth,and texture to the overall sound. Peter Van Der Velde is in a masterclass of organists.
Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekathedraal in Antwerp, Belgium has two magnificent organs and a regular concert schedule. Well worth a visit. Metzler organ III/P 45 - 1993 Schyven organ IV/P 90 - 1891
The original video of this transcription was impressive enough on its own merits. This re-record, however, is on the next plane higher in both audio and visual. A revelation to me is how spacious and airy the Schyven organ is behind the facade with all ranks given ample space to sound their best and the tuner room to move his elbows!
I have never come accross your videos before and glad I did. What a wonderful organ not to mention the organist of course! Beautiful music just lovely.
It is always a pleasure to hear Peter Van De Velde's performance after many years. This interpretation is truly superb! The organ is magnificent. Thanks to Aeolusianer.
Ik weet niet in hoeverre Schyven kopieën wilde leveren van Cavaillé-Coll, maar ik ben blij dat hem dit niet helemaal is gelukt. Een eigen geluid, die orgels van Schyven. Mooi dat dit na de restauratie is behouden!
@@sararamonajohansson Bonjour C'est vous qui étés dans le vrais REINE DES INSTRUMENTS est le termes qui lui convient Bonne continuation Très cordialement
De luidsprekers van mijn pc zijn ondermaats, maar vanaf de eerste maten kreeg ik letterlijk kippenvel bij het horen van deze nieuwe uitvoering. Wat een prachtige muziek, wat een prachtige bewerking, wat een een prachtige uitvoerig.1000x bedankt.
c'est un monument de la musique d'orgue, un immense hommage de notre très cher Charles-Marie Widor à son illustrissime prédécesseur et Cantor de Leipzig ; le tout interprété magistralement sur ces grandes orgues Schyven de la cathedrale d'Anvers par Peter an de Velde...Je connaissais jusqu'à présent la 1ère version de Peter, écoutée combien de fois ! Pourtant, croyez-le, Peter, je suis un français addict des grandes orgues d'Aristide Cavaillé-Coll, en particulier : St Ouen de Rouen, St Sulpice de Paris, St Denis de Paris ou St Sernin de Toulouse ; mais ici, chapeau bas, respect et admiration. J'apprécie ici cette video plus travaillée que la 1ere version, pour accompagner un tel travail. Merci infiniment, Peter, Charles-Marie, Johann Sebastian .
I still have the old original video in my Favourites playlist! I went away and learnt this after watching the original. It's nice having cleaner audio (without chatter in the background) and upgraded video. The only thing this new video lacks is the camera shaking from the organ's power (go to 5:56 in the original)! I love this organ greatly. I was feeling down today but this new video brought me some happiness.
I am happy too hear that it brought some light to your day ! Sorry, well, I did not think it would be necessary to switch on the image stabilizer and only later I saw that the camera shakes a bit because of the organ's low frequencies!
I love the original as well! The big 32' reed still sounds the same. Although in this new one, its right on time for that last chord. In the original, its about a half second late, which in all honesty, isn't bad. Makes for a more intense moment when it actually speaks! LOL
cette prise est remarquable, la restauration de cet instrument l'est aussi, juste qud on compare l'ancienne et la nouvelle, juste sur l'accord final la bombarde 32 arrive tout de suite alors que sur l'ancienne on avait bien une bonne seconde... bref ce n'est qu'un detail ! mais l'ami joue tjs aussi bien ! du plaisir, what 'else ? je me demande meme pourquoi M. Schyven a copié la plaque de cavaillé coll alors qu'avec autant de talent, il n'a rien a lui envier !

@@sathya999 Indeed... Everyone does their own thing. Cameron Carpenter has his own goals and opinions, some people like these, some not. The organist in this video is a (very good) classical organist. Cameron Carpenter uses the organ more like an "art palette" instead of playing music as it's always meant to be.
For some reason I always thought the pedal part of this piece is terrible, it should be sustained notes. This constant breaking just sounds inane. Which is just so bizarre because _everything else_ is first-rate.
Una transcripción para órgano de esta pieza no está mal como "divertimento", pero, después de haber conocido el original para coro y orquesta, resulta demasiado "terrífico" y poco respetuoso con el carácter que este pasaje tiene en la Pasión según San Mateo. Yo no lo habría hecho.
No se irrespetaa a Bach cuando un organista descubre en sus "frías " partituras nuevas posibilidades de expresión musical, como lo han hecho otros y lo hace ahora este organista en tan grandioso instrumento (Bach no "irrespetó "a Vivaldi al transcribir a un dos teclados y pedal conciertos escritos para varios instrumentos¡)
