Bach in action! Greetings to all you Bach-lovers and future Bachstars!
I'm happy to share Bach's Toccata, Adagio and Fugue in C Major BWV 564. This piece showcases Bach's genius with an exciting blend of old and new styles.
I would like to say a few words about this masterpiece: The opening (Toccata) features an improvisation-like introduction of virtuoso runs, a unique and lengthy pedal solo, and a complex contrapuntal section, reminiscent of a concerto. It’s special and rare that Toccata and Fugue are separated by separate movement: the Adagio. The Adagio was influenced by Italian styles, flowing into a brief Grave. This part stands out with its melody over a continuo-like bass and its Italianate harmonies. The third movement is a lively fugue with intricate dialogues between the subject and countersubject, showing Bach's innovative approach to fugue writing.
In my opinion, this piece truly stands out for its incredible variety and constant intrigue. It showcases Bach's genius and is undoubtedly one of his finest works for the organ.
I hope you enjoy this rendition! If you do, please give it a thumbs up, comment your thoughts, and subscribe for more classical music content. Make sure to share this video with your friends.

A concert organist at its best at such a young age - beautiful and the balance between the sound on the manuals and the feet is perfect. I have enjoyed every moment. Thanks Jan.

I guess he has a certain absolute pitch. That would help at least when practicing, because then he would have the whole concerto in his head as if he was hearing it and just pressing the right keys, so he could immediately hear every single wrong note, which really helps when practicing.

Having now listened 6 times to this masterpiece I can`t explain why but for me it enhances the quality of life itself- it really does!!A And 2 weeks later I now set 15 minutes a day aside to play it again and again ......... It has to be one one my most enjoyable' satisfying videos It just confirms my belief that Bach really is THE number one composer!!

Eine wunderbare Art diesen Bach zu spielen, einfach fabelhaft. Aber was mich weit mehr beeindruckt ist in diesen jungen Jahren das ohne Noten zu spielen. Klar wenn man viel übt spielt man Teile eh auswendig aber das gesamte Stück ist wirklich bewundernswert. Klasse Tempo, man hört alle Stellen, Fugenthemen und Alle Feinheiten dieses Stücks aus meines Sicht wunderbar heraus. Bitte weiter so. Und viel Spaß weiterhin beim Üben. Viele Grüße aus Augsburg

Ein wunderbares Werk in sehr schöner Wiedergabe. Mir gefällt alles. Speziell hervorheben möchte ich den vollen, aber doch milden Klang in der Fuge, und auch das dort gewählte relativ ruhige Tempo. Du könntest das bestimmt weit schneller (fehlerlos) herunterspielen. Dass du es nicht gemacht hast, spricht für deine Musikalität!

Junge, Du bist einfach krass! Schon als ich den Upload gesehen hatte, war ich voller Vorfreude und das Thumbnail ist einfach nur herzallerliebst. Zwar dachte ich mir, mit BWV 564 hättest Du Dich um eine Nummer vergriffen, aber das Hören und Sehen war einfach ein Genuss. Im Übrigen liebe ich die Orgel, sie klingt viel voller, bzw. es hört sich nach einem größeren Klangraum an, als bei der Orgel, an der Du einige der letzteren Stücke (wie beispielsweise die Triosonatas) gespielt hattest. Beim Hören und Sehen dachte ich mir, entweder bist Du Teil der Orgel oder die Orgel ist Teil von Dir. Das Adagio war hier diesmal aber wirklich melancholisch und natürlich sehr stimmungsvoll. Ich bin ja leider Laie, aber ich fühle Deine Leidenschaft und für eine Weile, als sei die Tür zum Himmel aufgestoßen worden und man hört den Gesang eines Engels. Vielleicht wirkt es verrückt, aber es fühlte sich immer wieder so an, als würdest Du nicht etwa ein Instrument spielen, sondern als würdest Du singen, als sei Dir Orgel nur eine Erweiterung Deiner Stimmbänder. Danke für Deine Liebe und Leidenschaft. Für rund 15 Minuten konnte ich freier atmen und mich lebendiger fühlen.

Marvellous harpsichord ornamentation in the Toccata and adagio….. 😄 which organ was it performed on?

@adamfrye246 18 күн бұрын

I enjoy thinking of the organ like it is an orchestra with all the registrations, range and power, etc. On the piano to play low notes the left hand has to move to that register but since the pedals are separate on the organ there is more independence of the bass line.
