Magnificent performance. My father - who was an excellent amateur organ player - has played this piece on organ for many times. I myself am a reasonable good recorder player. If my father had lived now (he has died suddenly in 2003), we had taken all effort to get the score of this master piece and formed a group to perform and study this. Long ago we had such a group consisting of oboe, traverso, recorder, cello and organ. So we could do this.

OMG, J.S. Bach, the divine, the eternal!!! And all people who channel him!!!!

Breathtaking. I'm crying... how beautiful. Soli Deo Gloria!

The best piece of music ever written by human! And what a beautiful interpretation :)

I keep coming back to this performance - it is so full of life - and I don't understand why they are not touring "The World" with this kind of music-making!!!

This is one of those rear music pieces that are magnificent regardless interpretation due to its complexity and depth. Beauty is certainly not in simplicity solely...

What a fantastic arrangement and performance.... Has more of a baroque feel and air that any other rendition I've heard...Thanks!

Une immense expressivité de bout en bout, absolument superbe !

What a beautiful performance of this wonderful masterpiece. Thank you and congrats!!!!!

Gloria eterna para el màs vasto y sublime compositor musical de todos los tiempos.

The best music never dies...

Bach would be so proud 😭This is just supreme.

Thank teachers for this impeccable delivery, full of passion and beautiful expression. It was a real pleasure for the ears and soul.

Wow, che meraviglia... bravissimi

No século XXX e XXI fomos/somos acostumados a ouvir músicas do período barroco e clássico com grandes orquestras, algumas delas com até 100 músicos. Ficaram famosas as interpretações "arrasa-quarteirão" da Filarmônica de Berlim (com Herbert von Karajan na regência), os mega-corais da Sinfônica de Londres, para interpretar obras de Händel, como o Côro do Oratório "O Messias". As orquestras estadunidenses seguiam o mesmo padrão. Esse tipo de arranjo, orquestração e regência serviu para diversificar o público ouvinte/apreciador de música clássica, que de outra foram ficaria restrito aos shows de rock e música popular/ligeira. Como não poderia deixar de ser, foi a Inglaterra o país que juntou a música clássica ao rock; várias bandas do chamado "rock progressivo" tinham entre seus integrantes músicos com formação clássica em Conservatório. Daí para arranjos orquestrais/sinfônicos aplicados a suítes progressivas foi um passo. Mas há cerca de duas décadas temos visto músicos, regente e compositores interessados em arranjos mais camerísticos ou para pequenas orquestras, sobretudo para o repertório do período barroco. Em alguns países houve grande proliferação de conjuntos e orquestras com objetivo de fazer uma interpretação històricamente situada, ou seja, com instrumentos de época (ou réplicas perfeitas deles), em ambientes pequenos. Com isso os músicos e regente esperam transmitir aos ouvintes uma sonoridade mais próxima daquela pensada pelos compositores da época. A música de Johann Sebastian Bach (por muitos considerado maior compositor de todos os tempos) soa muito bem com esses pequenos conjuntos e pequenas orquestras. Nesta apresentação todos os músicos e todos os instrumentos (com exceção do cravo, dedicado ao acompanhamento) têm seu momento de protagonismo; e Sébastien Marq sabe quando deve deixar os outros músicos serem os protagonistas. E a captação do som ficou muito boa. Obrigado e parabéns aos músicos e técnicos.

Quelle belle, quelle étonnante adaptation ! Superbe. Grands mercis.

Sublime ! Que vous touchiez du baroque , classique ou autres musiques , vous les faites vivre Mr Marq

I sometimes think that the only way in which a superior intelligence can communicate with us is through music. It is not omnipotent. It certainly cannot help us. Not only it watches us suffering. It suffers with us. But of course, all what I said is just poetry, what the great loved late Joshua Liebman thought and expressed in his wonderful book Peace of mind (reading recommendation included to you incidental reader of these humble comments).-

Absolutely sublime!

Najpierw wysłuchałem tego utworu w wykonaniu jakiegoś organisty, później w wykonaniu Krystiana Zimmermana na fortepianie, a po nim to samo zagrały dwie młode akordeonistki - aż w końcu natrafiłem na poniższe nagranie. Gdy słucham tego wykonania to mam wrażenie, że wcześniejsi wykonawcy odwalali jakąś straszną chałę - bez składu i ładu :-) Oni są genialni!!!

Absolutely great!

Bach is accredited with composing this magnificent music but I kind of feel that God must have had a lot to do with it.

Without words assolute beautiful !!

Really beautiful, and wonderful playing from all! Thank you!

Magnifique. Tout bonnement magnifique. Je vous ai vu hier soir en concert au temple du bouclier à Strasbourg. J'ai été véritablement transporté par votre transcription. Je me dois de vous féliciter et de vous remercier pour ce moment musical que vous nous avez fait vivre

The recorder reminds me of corelli concerto no5 minor. Very well played

Woooow i thought i loved this on organ. Little did i know.

sublime!

A beautiful composition, beautifully played!

Beautiful

Impressive, emotional.....JS Bach

absolutely unique ref refreshing and wonderful without loosing a but of Bach!!!!!!!

Magnifique !!! Bravo à tous !

pura magia

Vraie magnifique.

C'est une vraie merveille ce morceau (mon préféré de Bach, mon préféré tout genre de musique confondus) et vous lui donné une bien belle couleur, bien particulière, originale. Merci.

Magnifique

Beautiful 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

STANDING OVATION !

Thank you so much. This is an awesome performance. So full of joy and beauty. Thank you.

Extremely beautiful! Eva

This is magic! Bravo! And thank you very much for uploading :-) I find the organ piece rather difficult to the listener, a challenge... This transcription works great!

Very good transcription, very good performance

Bravo......!

Magnifique construction, et interprétation qui lui rend parfaitement hommage, bravo

Quedé impresionado, especialmente por la fuga!!!!

bravi davvero e............coraggiosi.

bravissimi!

Its sounds authentic.

Quelle merveille.

Suena realmente poderoso!!

Wonderful 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😮😮😮😮

Mon Dieu, la musique sourd de partout!

Гениально!!!!!!!!!!

It's a great performance by great musicians. The chosen ensemble of instruments adds brilliance to the organ version. It works the first 5 minutes, say, but then one is left missing the solemnity of the organ version or of the modern symphonic transcriptions (Stokowki or Respighi).

Bravo

Superb. It reminds me the best of alessandro scarlatti recorder pieces or Corelli for the strings. This arrangement is astounding. Also it created a bass line different from bach's work. Well done

BELLO BELLO BELLO ❤❤❤

Пассаккалия и фуга до минор Баха. Слышал только на органе. На таких инструментах не слышал, но исполнение великолепно.

Excelente!!!

💯

Pour ceux qui veulent entendre la pièce "en vrai" : L'accademia dei Dissonanti est en concert ce samedi 3 février 2018 à 20h, Eglise St Leu St Gilles, Saint Leu la forêt. Venez nombreux !

Vraiment très beau! Je dirais seulement que j'aurais ajouté une viole de gambe, ou une violoncelle à la basse, car, à mon avis, le clavecin n'est pas suffisant à bien "remplir" le tutti avec le basson, et donc la basse n'a pas suffisamment de profondeur. Mais ce n'est qu'une opinion personnelle; en tout cas très bien!

Très bonne idée : ça marche aussi en sol mineur !

Musik des JUNGEN Bach. => 1706 - 1713 ?? ..... Ein Genie!!

Mi è piaciuta tantissimo. Purtroppo c'è chi non condivide questi arrangiamenti. Collocano un opera in un binario morto, senza concedere di svilupparla adattandola, con rispetto s'intende, ad altri strumenti d'espressione musicale. Secondo me, sono schiavi delle caccole sul pentagramma! Ma tutta la musica creata è arte donata a libero sentore per ogni anima.

Esta passacaglia es original para organo, pero , este genio, con su versatilidad a contruccion armónica, de sus obras? asta con piedras de tonos distintos sonaría bien,

It looks to me like it's an Adrian Brown Denner alto in European Boxwood at A415

Great focus pulling on camera

VIVAT

!!!!!!!!!

I wonder why nobody noticed that they transposed the piece to G minor. But it sounds perfect anyways 😎

What type of recorder is this, please?

La grande flûte est elle une flûte à bec grande-basse ?

Thank you all for your support and comments ! We are now launching a crowfunding campaign to record this piece and some other wonderful transcriptions ! Please help us : www.helloasso.com/associations/clavecin-pour-tous/collectes/bach-autrement-par-l-accademia-dei-dissonanti. Thank you !

High level performance only lacking a bit of 10 feet bass organ.

Delightful rendition congratulations

The problem with Bach to orchestra transcriptions, is that the transcriber often gets carried away with insane voicing changes in the middle of melodic lines (cough....Webern...Schoenberg...cough); the kind of nonsense that would see you flunk an organ performance exam if you were to do the same thing. The key to Bach orchestral transcriptions is "less is more" and don't interrupt the symmetry. Let the music itself do the talking. As they do here. It's wonderful.

Bro played bwv 582 on recorder 💀💀💀

Che incredibile palla. Non c'è la vertigine della fuga ma una ripetitiva e fiacca ripetizione impostata e vuota. Andate a lavorare e fatela suonare all'organo.
