Beethoven said about Bach “He should be called not a Brook, but rather a Sea.” - Bach is German for “brook” or “stream.”

T@1

[@yowzephyr]

@@westwind3557 T@1, eh? I've googled. And I tried Urban Dictionary. No luck. Care to tell me what you meant by T@1?

[@SamWlodawski83]

Excellent point. And believe it or not, they were quite a few Bachs in Thuringia the area of Germany, where Johan Sebastian lived.

[@BeefZone]

My God, when the Tubas, Trombones and drums start in near the end, it's was such an awe-inducing moment for me. Such a formidable point that really stands out. You all did an unbelievably awesome job!

[@uniktbrukernavn]

Too many play this one too fast but this was perfect speed. Excellent! Stokowski is the only one who got this one right, the others seems to be in a hurry or they're trying to chase away a fly on one of they keys.

[@dvdrmorales]

This is one of the best interpretations I've heard.

[@albertomuller212]

Nothing to add to the former comments. Let me say only that the video shows once again, and in a very special way, how different people from any origin can assemble together and produce a masterpiece.

[@alphazutn1274]

3:17-3:45 made me cry, as a person who is rarely emotional, thank you guys.

[@APUSymphony]

Thank you!

Yikes

I like the way this arrangement starts out with the obo family. Well done, very hard to herd this many cool cats and kittens over the internet.

[@Cyberpilot888]

I write software. At heart, there's really only 4 things that a function in a program does: calculate and store a value, a decision ("if" statement), go back and repeat something again ("loop"), and start another function (layer) that does these 4 things again. When it comes down to it, a computer program is just variations on these small building blocks that are layered, one on top of another on top of another. Bach's Little Fugue has always felt like that to me. Nearly endless variations on a simple theme, layered one on top of the other, until you get to this awesome place where all the layers comes together. I love hearing it on an organ, but it's even more fun hearing all of the different instrument voices. I really like this rendition! What a great idea for the Covid shutdown!

[@TheClassicalSauce]

I'm studying this fugue right now and this performance really helped me isolate the themes. Thank you for the great performance! Interesting and effective ritard at the end. Nice arrangement. Bravo!

[@APUSymphony]

Thank you!

[@MackenzieAzela]

Thanks you so much for watching!

[@mitochondriaandfriends4883]

I did an arrangement for a double woodwind quartet for this piece and seeing the beginning gave me a little chuckle

[@satvrne]

I would be glad to hear it :)

[@late8641]

I think starting it with such simplicity is a genius decision.

[@suhndog]

Lyrical, pastoral and monumental! Bravo, and well done! That was heart-moving!!

[@APUSymphony]

So glad you enjoyed it!

[@adam28xx]

Cleverly edited and presented visually, so bravo for that and for the performance!

[@spikespa5208]

What would good ol' Johann think? Not just of the orchestration but the audio clarity and visual recording, then being told all of the musicians played at different places and times(?) . Something superb that came out of that absurd time.

[@theocelot3957]

Bach is proud.

[@camfg8908]

He would love it

[@studentofcounterpoint]

It's a refreshing experience to hear this fugue orchestrated but I must admit it doesn't feel the same seeing the conductor on a screen

[@mamaeri]

I immediately thought, online flash mob. Great job!

[@feralcatgirl]

lovely performance, props to everybody involved

[@jeffreyjeziorski1480]

This is very good orchestration

J'aime La Musique Classique

[@michaelberg9656]

I don't usually like Stokowski's transcriptions of Bach's organ works (I think organ music should be played on an organ) but this one is nice.

[@martijnb5887]

I disagree: listen to this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2PTaHxpr9KWnMU. Or kzbin.info?search_query=bach+trumpet+balsom Poor Bach was just born to early to know the trumpet. Bach, organ and trumpet are a golden trio.

[@AllMusicEtc]

Tuning: 0c: A4 = 440Hz

[@onewhogetsbread9975]

Hi this is amazing may you please share the parts and score? I'd love to try the Oboe part!!!!

[@manuelgonzales6483]

Stunning and Brave 😳🙀

[@kitwhitfield7169]

This is just delicious.

[@Tesserae]

The Maestro would have approved.

[@Roman_Politykin]

Обалдеть можно 👍👍👍

[@BonnieBunny53]

Wonderful performance-I listen to this recording very often. I do have a question I hope you may answer: where may one find the score you used for this performance? Or could you share who arranged the version you performed?

"Little" Fugue? More like BIG Fugue

[@1977ajax]

A great effort of organization, but hated the weird outburst of volume and odd tempi at the end. Best stick to that which Bach wrote; he knew best.

[@user-oc3le3iz7z]

Практически любая фуга предполагает мощную каденцию и нарастание звука на протяжении всего произведения
