Amazing to think that this piece was originally written for violin. Just shows how the power of Bach’s music transcends the instrument it is played on.

[@simonsimorangkir2440]

Bach : Organ ( heaven of sound ), Guitar ( heaven phrasing ).🙏

[@luismg2130]

Great version! As if this piece needed to be more imposing, gosh. But it also has all the nuances of the original and it is very expressive. Hats off.

[@Claudia-zg8sx]

Bach's music and the way it is interpreted are so overwhelmingly beautiful, it's almost like a supernatural experience.

[@jrcrawford4]

It IS supernatural.

[@marcsmith5275]

It cerainly feels superhuman every time I hear it performed by a truly accomplished musical instrumentalist.

[@davetownes]

Simply put, Bach is the organ...

[@bconroy2]

I LOVE the loooong pause just before the final chord

[@christianreimann4652]

soooo deep!!!!! no rock song can ever reach this masterpiece!!

[@danielpalmer6266]

No comparison. While they are both are music, they orbit at different heights.

[@maartenbokhout4594]

It is a majestic piece; more difficult on the violin than the organ. A beautiful rendition.

The use of trumpets at 9:40 is inspired. Even the orchestral transcription doesn’t dare that level of boldness, and in hindsight falls short a bit as a result.

Magnificent!! Thank you.

[@markfortuin7111]

Great work by a great composer, played by a great, prodigious organist, on a great organ! Well done Jonathan.

[@ErnestSDavis1]

Magnificent.

[@scottwexlin6456]

Works better on the organ, then on the violin. I guess because Bach truly was an organist at heart. Apologies to any violinists out there.

[@PointyTailofSatan]

A friend once asked me to play the Brahms left hand only version on my Casavant. OMG I laughed so hard. lol

[@OldPannonian]

Wow!

[@geminian7846]

This must be the ultimate proof not just of the universality of Bach but also (without any disrespect at all of this performer) his utter indestructability! The piece was written for unaccompanied solo violin, yet (like the great Toccata and Fugue in D minor, which may also have originally been a violin piece) it can be played on just about any instrument - or combination of instruments - that you care to name.

[@AMI-xp1ln]

it's so amazing !!!

EXCELLENT! and I didn't have to bribe anyone to get some Bach. Its sad that musical styles like the Chaconne and the Ricercar were losing popularity even in Bach's time. I love those forms. Great job Jonathan

Marvelous! I've always thought that J S Bach had a lot to say through his music, however, I was sure that in a few places, I could actually hear some words. Maybe it's just me. Thanks Scott Bros. Welcome home. XX

Oooh, that's an incredible organ! Yet another piece that's new to me & it's by Bach, my favourite composer!! So glad to see your left hand is better, Jonathan.

[@andrewcrossley2448]

Magnificent in every way. Whilst written for a violin, and fiendishly difficult to master on that instrument (I’ve been trying for decades), this transcription displays the full majesty of the composition. What an organ and thank you so much. You moved me to tears remembering my mum who passed away in May. She loved her local church and part funded a new electronic organ for it a few years back. The church is nearly a thousand years old and so every time I hear that organ play I remember her legacy in a very special place for our family. The cycle of our time passes so quickly but Bach transcends the centuries.

[@theunheardprophet4315]

My grandmother died just about a year ago and this is what I listened to on the way to the cemetery. She didn't live very far away from the place where this was recorded.

[@markcooke729]

What an incredible organ! It's suits Bach more than I thought it would! Another fantastic post - thank you guys! I must admit I find the console layout of many European organs very hard to get my head around - three layers of pistons over each stop tab! Makes ventils like a walk in the park for any organist not used to some French organs!

[@lenanielsen5903]

An absolutely wonderful performance such a beautiful sound 🍃Love Bach's music🍃

[@epincion]

Utterly amazing interpretation by Jonathan on that wonderful organ in that huge resonant space and Tom captures the sound and visuals so well. Its one of my favourite Bach pieces. Must have been some concert given that the program also included Jonathan performing his transcription of the entire Beethoven's 5th symphony. Oh to have been there.

Splendid combination of Jonathan' skills, the registration, and the properties of the acoustics in that space all make for a remarkably memorable performance. Thank you brothers for what you continue to do for those of us who are far flung, but participate via KZbin! DJ in Knoxville TN

[@mulhatton]

My goodness. What an incredible instrument! The variety of the different stops and the voices, and timbre of each, is BEAUTIFUL. Thank you for taking the ENORMOUS amount of time to practice, perform and record this wonderful piece from Bach on this majestic instrument. I sincerely hope you have made some more recordings on this organ 🙏

[@mulhatton]

Every time there is a registration change my heart litterally skips a beat ❤️😱 From 12:30 onwards, the diminuendo, and then that ever building crescendo, just more and more and MORE, UNBELIEVABLE! EXPLOSIVE!

[@marcsmith5275]

Wonderfully recorded sound with an excellent video treatment! Thank you to all involved.

[@charleslayton9463]

Outstanding! What sound! And I'm amazed that you trusted the crescendo pedal for -- apparently -- all the registration. A bold choice, and it worked. I'm trying to find info on the organ. Thanks so much!

[@ferasmy]

There is a combination action (invisible in a drawer)

[@charleslayton9463]

@@ferasmy Ah. Thanks for responding! My reasoning was based upon not seeing any of the stop tabs in the "on" position, or changing throughout the performance. Likewise it appeared that none of the old-style setter tabs above each stop tab were in use. Does the modern combination action in the drawer not move the stop tabs? I really wish I could find more information on this organ, but there is nothing about it on the Klais website.

[@ferasmy]

@@charleslayton9463 When the organ was renovated in 1991, a separatly set of register-pistons (with "only" 64 combinations) was included in a drawer to the right of the organ player (below the main stops). This is of course hopelessly outdated today. But Klais always did it that way in this time. The three free combinations (old-style setter tabs) are still in operation. Today, the consoles were modify (see Cologne Cathedral) with switchable buttons, which is also much more practical and visible.

[@2NY100]

Transformative piece. Sent to another place. Thank you! Oh my!

[@JohnThomas-fn9nm]

I've been anxiously awaiting/ hoping for the time when you would play this magnificent piece. I'm currently working on the transcription of it for classical guitar ( by Andres Segovia ). Such an emotional piece and you have captured it beautifully. Thank you to you and Tom for sharing so generously the immense talents you both possess.

[@cynic369]

I was already having a particularly good day, and this video is the perfect cherry on top. (I've heard Bach may have composed this when his wife passed away, but hopefully he will approve of this piece being enjoyed by someone centuries later.) Bravo Jonathan for the wonderful interpretation and Tom as always for the sound and visuals!
