3 жыл бұрынI play for you (live) JS Bach's monumental Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor BWV 582 on the incredible 1861 Cavaillé-Coll of Nancy Cathedral in France.
This is taken from my Recital on 29th May 2021, during which we experienced connection issues. Luckily I always capture my recitals on the cameras' SD cards for me to upload at a later date.

A master-class performance of one of the most regal, ethereal and beautifully sublime pieces from the greatest composer in history on the grandest of all instruments created by the greatest organ builder of all time. I think both Bach and Aristide would have been sufficiently impressed. Meanwhile, the rest of us mortals stand--fall down?--in awe! It must have been an other-worldly experience in that cathedral during that recording. The registration, the dynamics, the tempo: pure brilliance. Those reeds that CC is so well-known for...wow...just incredibly powerful, unparalleled.

Many consider this Passacaglia and Fugue to be Bach's greatest. I concur!! - and I love your embellishments and that wonderful Cadenza! C. P. E. Bach mentioned one time that his father would embellish everything - yet never violate the integrity of whatever he played. You can 'blame' Buxtehude for this! Heh.. Bach was never the same after his visit with him.. and we will enjoy Bach forever.. I know that Bach is smiling on you now!!

Which means its fab to hear it played by you “properly”😁👌😁... always wanted to give the triplet variation a tonne of “bite” - seems to me its the climax of the passacaglia really - as my teacher said: everything else after that is just “knitting” in c minor,. Some truth in that....., and your “attaca” into the fugue is spot on.......important to get right - crucial piece of drama Herr Bach most definitely intended and.you nail it. Love it!! I want to get my copy out and start crashing about with it again!

Cavaille - Coll maneged to bring back baroque organ building mixing it with the new style of his time. This version of passacaglia and fugue demonstrates the "dramatic" and austerity part of this organ (and of the piece, of course). It even shows how much this organ is versatile and powerful. Your way of playing it is fantastic, nearly how Karl Richter would have played it...Bravo!
@ds1868 3 жыл бұрын
Completely agree. Cavaille-Coll very often integrated much of the existing pipework from the 18th and early 19th Centuries and built his own conceptions around it. This is why some of his most famous instruments contain much older pipework. Perhaps the most famous example is St Sulpice in Paris, where 40% of the pipework is the original 18th Century Clicquot work. He didn't change the older pipework much either. I believe JSB can be played on any instrument, his genius is universal. And it can certainly be played on a Cavaille-Coll instrument!

The last few minutes has it all: Dominant preparation, deceptive cadence on the Neapolitan 6th, fully diminished 7th over tonic pedal, and glorious Picardy 3rd to bring it home. One of my all-time fav pieces, and you're nailing it on your channel time and again!! I hope you win the prize of "organist to have held the last note the longest!" As it should be.

Hello Richard!😇 READ THIS i would absolutely love if you could in any possible way have the world class organist Mr. Markus Wargh join any of your concert in the future👌. He is in my opinion the best organist in scandinavia by far! His Bach interperations are so unique and wonderful! He have had concerts all over the world. But its a same that not everyone have heard of him. He is truly amazing. Look at some of his recordings on KZfaq and you will know exactly why i think that he is soo good. I have been to some of his concerts and I will never forget it!. I know this is too much to ask but I and many others would absolutely love it.😄. He is now the organist in Luleå cathedral in sweden, but he is originally from Finland and he got out from the Sibelius Academy (studying Church music)the highest grades possible!!

Nothing behind it as such - it just strikes me as an obvious place to do such a thing. Vivaldi's music has lots of cadenzas, and Bach would've been very aware of them. Having a sudden Neapolitan sixth chord (D flat major in 1st inversion) followed by a halt just cries out for 'something'. 99% of people don't do this, but I'm happy to be that 1% who do things a bit different....

Well, I guess it is just a matter of time before the Nancy wondermachine becomes a template from which to build a customised "virtual cavaille-coll." Frankly speaking, my ears have become so "scandalised" by the orgelbewegung movement which has contributed in my being turned-off of many a Baroque organ. So for me, CC and other Romantic Symphonic Organs have got my creative juices flowing unceasingly. Almost forgot, now, if there would be a sample set of the combined resources of, say, St. Pauls in London and Liverpool Anglican Cathedral, well, that would be quite something to dazzle the mind with, N'est ce pas?

beautifully played - articulation and registration (reminiscent of E. Power Biggs on the Harvard Flentrop); almost a bit too much reverb (~10 seconds after the last chord) - diatonic 2nds in pedal overlapping strongly - could be dialed back slightly - maybe shave off a second or so ...

I'd have to knock part of Nancy Cathedral down and install lots of carpet to shave off a second or so because this is the exact reverberation you'd hear in the building itself. I love it!! :)

@@beautyinsound for sure - I understand - it's just really noticeable when those pedal 2nds sustain over each other - just a bit of a jolt there at the beginning - especially the D to Eb and B to C half-steps - but it's a beautiful performance - I'm not complaining :-)

Sorry, but all the noise loses any sense of the sensitivity of Bach's writing. It's too loud and ponderous. Bach in hobnail boots, and not for me.
