Toccata and Fugue d minor - Accordion 

I live in Brasil, I'am 75 years old. Play acordeom when a have 15 years old...Ok. Today I plaing orgão in Sintezizer (roland). My congratulations, VERY WELL...I like so much.... Edson (sorry,I don t speak english very well.

Awe inspiring for all accordionists. Beautifully played. Thanks for sharing.

If i hadn't seen this, I would never believe that this work could be played on accordion like this. Fantastic.

its refreshing to see that there is still truly skilled musicians left in the world. Bravo man great piece!

The song is very nice on accordion because it was mystic.

Hi Campbell, You are a great master of the piano accordion. Few people know what it takes to play such a magnificent work from J. S. Bach in any keyboard instrument.

This is terrific. I love how the player chooses to be so quiet at certain moments.

Simply incredible, I would have never thought that this song could be played on an accordion. You don't just play it on an accordion, you play it perfectly.

My father would have been in awe of your musicality and technique. My compliments. Guido Deiro, Jr.

This is pretty impressive!

Toccata and Fugue in D minor.......One of most beautiful songs I have ever heard.

This man is a genius because transpose with acordeon same feeling like Tocatta played at organ.Such a nice emotions like audition a real organ

Beautifully performed, my friend. The fugue portion is my favorite fugue by far.

Man!! You are amazing!!!!!! I never saw anything similar here in Brasil!! Meus parabéns!! Realmente incrivel!!!!!!

Awesome and inspiring! As a new accordionist at almost 60, I am loving it. 50 yrs of being a guitarist - I so appreciate what it takes to pull this off - talent, preparation, dedication, discipline and emotion. Thanks a million!

When I saw the title I never knew that it could be played THIS complete. One must need 3 brains to coordinate this piece on an accordion!

I am just entranced by this! Amazing talent and a brilliant and passionate piece. Your instrument is beautiful and I can't imagine having the arm strength to manipulate the bellows like you do. This is one of my favourite videos :)

I'd love to have the arrangement. Thanks so much. Amazing.

This dude is going off!! I've never seen anyone do this like him.

Easily the best performance of this piece I've ever seen on the internet.

Maravilloso!!!

Hi, I have 2 octaves of bass notes (in stradella) Pedal C -> B (1.7 octaves). Then Major, Min, Dom 7th, Dim 7th. This piece though is using freebass - no chords, and gives me 1 note short of 5 octaves (including coupler change).

Phenomenal work. This is an incredible interpretation, down to interpreting the stops! Getting through ANY Bach piece means you're an elite musician. Take your pick. This is unbelievable!!!

It's a rare treat to see technical virtuosity accompanying musicianship. You really get Bach!

Funny those Rubes didn't know the piece and clapped before it was over!

I'From Brazil! My father play acordeon!......Conglatulations!.......

I did not know this instrument (or its players) could be so extraordinarilly talented. I am in total awe.

What a convincing demonstration that what matters in music is interpretation. This is awesome, one of the most stunning vid I've ever seen ; when the title says "Toccata and Fugue -- accordion", most people (at least I did) would think: "yeah, why not the 9th symphony with an ocarina?". Well, I was wrong, you have managed to understand this amazingly complex piece extremely well and to communicate its strength to your public. Thanks for sharing, really.

OUT STANDING! By the way Amindya Wassidto, this composition is not a "song". It is not a vocal. No words what so ever. It is a Toccata (touch piece)and fugue (a baroque contrapuntal composition).

Sadly, too many people don't take the accordion seriously. This should make them think twice before they cast judgement. Bravo!

A quote, but I think it fits... "Hats off gentlemen, a genius" That is out of this world amazing.

This guy is AWESOME! I watch this every few months! WHO needs a whole ORGAN?! NOT This guy!

Very impressive! Not only is this piece played technically correct, but musically you perform very well. I love this song on organ, and now I can say it's just as good on accordion!

What a phenominal job on this beautiful piece!

The breathing is the best part, so smooth and so hard to get those long lines without having to pull the bellows back, also what an amazing instrument and player, Bach is HARD!

The accordion is an underestimated musical instrument but brings near orgasmic feelings to one's ear when played very well like this gentleman right here who played this piece amazingly!

You have restored my faith in accordion players!

How the crowd didn't make a riot!?!?!? I was having an epiphany here! I Cried, I screamed, I applaused!!!!!!!! God in heaven...

This is absolutely incredible! At about the 38 second mark my jaw hit the floor and stayed there the rest of the piece. Bravo!

this is amazing. I can only wish to some day have such excellent accordion skills

Your playing really open my eyes of what a accordion can do.

J S Bach at its BEST ! Thank You Very Much .

I won't lie, when I first saw this title, I was convinced that this was going to be cheesey. But nothing of the sort! Nothing short of incredible. Bravo!

i watched this video for the first time 2 years ago. i created a youtube account just to comment on it and you have inspired me to play the accordion ive now been playing for a year. thank you :D

Wahnsinn. Man würde das nicht für möglich halten - das ist unglaublich virtuos gespielt, wenn man bedenkt, daß man doch recht viel Kraft braucht dafür. Ich bin sprachlos. Großartig.

This is by far the absolute best playing of an accordion I have ever seen. This man's talent is second to none. His ability to translate accurately a masterpiece work of a classical nature to an instrument such as this is astounding!

WOW......Just, WOW...That whole thing was just beautiful, beyond belief.

Wow just amazing, I thought it was hard on the piano but playing it on the accordian is on a whole different level. And all from memory simply amazing!

Seit Jahren ist das eines meiner Lieblingsvideos hier! Ich bin immer wieder absolut im Fieber, wenn ich diesen Balg auf- und zugehen sehe. Herrlich, wie man diesem majästätischen Instrument (habe selber 13 Jahre gespielt) solche Töne und Stücke entlocken kann. Raubt mir jedes mal den Atem....

Simply beautiful. Just amazing.

I still love this so much. It makes me so happy.

Fabulous performance. You really brought across the aspects of the accordian that are similar to the organ and captured the spirit of this work.

The best accordion I'd heard for a long time. Thank you for sharing your wonderful musical skill

A pure pleasure to watch and hear you play!

amazing,simply amazing.shivering

amazing, i cant help but to watch the entire thing through every time im searching around for some music

Amazing. Simply amazing.

I give you a standing ovation for that fantastic performance !

Magistral! Magnifique! Many years ago, ina depresive traffic jam I asked the Universe to hear this piece and it was the next piece I heard on the radio... Co-creation even before I learned this capacity of using consciousness and will to co-create our reality! Thank you for sharing and congratulations!

Astounding! I'm stunned!....

Hi all. I'm from New Zealand, down next to Australia. Been here my whole life, but travelled a little around the world with music. Lots of Fun. Been to Russia, but not Hungary.

Thank you for posting this. What an amazing piece of music.

FANTASTIC!!!

I listen to this when writer's block sets in. Thanks for the inspiration!

Man, you will never stop hearing congratulations. That's admirable.

I just got my accordion last night, this almost brought me to tears, amazing job!

Holy Jesus! How amazing!

Phenomenal. Even down to the dynamics. A true accordian master.

Brilliant. Thank you.

BRAVO!!!!! Truly wonderful!

Haven't picked up an accordion in decades, but, this has to be one of the most amazing performances I've ever seen. Bravo!!

This is my favorite piece of music of all time

Sensational. i never thought the words "this accordion music is brilliant" would pass my lips (or leave my fingertips, in this instance). Baroque accordion - an oxymoron - is to die for. Normally, accordion is to die from!

Exquisite performance, a real gem.

Simply amazing.

Wow! I love it, and what a finale!

Mr. Bettridge, thank you for with this one recording making my life measurably better.

Magnificent!

Truly amazing. I have a new respect for that instrument!

Absolutely amazing! Spectacularly good! Wonderful! Bravo!

Amazing, astonishing, awesome, godly, incredible, inhuman, insane, unbelievable! It's impossible until someone does it.

One of my favorite pieces of organ music, made to sound amazing on an accordion, of all things. And what's even better, it sounds like it was written for it! Amazing work!

I am speechless! Really wonderful.

What a talent.... This man is blessed with talent... Thanx for the post...

Simply awesome.

This was absolutely amazing!

The first and only time I heard this played on an accordion was 40 years ago on Accordion Day by a young lady who won the British Accordion championship with this same music. She also used a 'free bass' instrument and and I've never forgotten this most amazing sound. You are truely excellent and I love your rendition. You've made my day with your playing.

Absolutely fantastic!

Stunning interpretation of my favourite baroque piece, great feeling and dynamics. I didn't expect to prefer it to the organ version. Pure mastery!

WOW! I wept. I could never have imagined this work on accordion. Thanks for sharing your talent!

this is absolutely stunning. you are so gifted its unreal. i cant stop watching this

Such great talent. Back when RU-vid was good.

BRAVO....! FANTASTIC....!

I really underestimated to power of the accordion. I never thought it could be used for a serious sounding song, only for whimsy. I have been proven wrong. Bravo. Bravo. *claps*

That is an amazing performance (all from memory) with a free bass accordion. Amazing dexterity! Free bass truely expands the number of compositions you can play. Bravo!!!

This is too great for words.

That's one of the most impressive things I've ever seen.

Absolutely amazing

Incredible! I loved it!!!

Absolutely magnificent! I have arranged Bach Toccatas and Fugues for solo piano so I know how much work goes into making one. I really enjoyed listening to this! David E
