Bach - Fantasia Super: Komm, Heiliger Geist BWV 651 - Van Doeselaar | Netherlands Bach Society

The overwhelming opening of Fantasia Super: Komm, Heiliger Geist, Herre Gott, performed by Leo van Doeselaar for All of Bach, refers almost literally to the opening lines of Acts 2 from the Bible, which say about Pentecost: “And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance”.

Please note: this is an improved version of an earlier release. The reverb of the final chord has been extended.

Thunderous and rightly so. I'm always impressed by the way this particular organist throws himself at the manuals like his life depends on it. I suspect it probably does. Marvellous!

[@pineapple8992]

Bach himself played the organ in this very church in 1721--more than 300 years ago--, the great Reinken was there, who was in his 90's, and remarked he thought the art of improvisation Bach displayed was a lost, but realized in Bach "it still lives."

Happy birthday J.S. BACH!

[@user-gc4zi8vk7g]

この曲はライプツィヒコラールの中で、天使達が舞い降りそうで、一番好きな曲です。オルガンの演奏していただき、ありがとうございます。 English This song is my favorite song in Leipzig Chorale, where angels are likely to come down. Thank you for playing the organ.

[@elcidleon6500]

Never underestimate the legacy of Johann Sebastian Bach...

[@AnjaHuebel1]

This is such a satisfying prelude to listen to. Our organist played it today (St. Catherine's Stuttgart, Stephen Brown) and I was his page-turner.

[@Bigbassdrum60]

Now that's what I am talking about...A REAL TRACKER ORGAN!!!

[@dickscharn2149]

The best performance I ever heard. Right tempo and vigorously played.

[@JamesPollMaine59]

So powerful and passionate, nothing held back, pull out those stops, played so the heavens can hear. The majesty of Bach played brilliantly.

[@germanicheritage1940]

absolutely amazing!!!

[@arturkwapisz3574]

One of the best Bach piece and what a wonderfoul interpretation!

[@notaire2]

Wunderschöne und lebhafte Aufführung dieses polyphonischen Meisterwerks im inspirierenden Tempo mit versciedenen Tönen der rekonstruierten Orgel. Wahrlich genialer Organist!

[@RalphLooij]

A firm and steady Bach!

Nine thumbs down!?? How could 9 people not like that? Something seriously wrong with them!!!!

I think Bach was the first to use thumbs down on the manuals.

They are damned reprobates! They have been brainwashed by garbage music, so when they hear something pure and transcendent they reject it. Pity them!

An awesome Sunday pipe organ treat! This one would be great to have the score to follow along while listening... Thanks NBS! Btw, is today Bach's birthday? ...or the 31st?

[@franciscovidalsorde3364]

vull pensar que està molt ben tocada aquesta musica descomunal, al menys a mi m'agrada molt. no entenc de musica , però el que si que es nota es la gravació, les veus sónen com si cada una volés irrompre dins làire que es respira i aquest aire si que dóna gust de respirar-lo. no em cansaria dèscoltar Bach i en aquestes condicions encara més.

[@samuelhelmlinger9588]

A pleurer

[@berndschubert789]

Es kommt dem biblischen Pfingstgeschehen recht nahe. In der Tat vielleicht wäre das volle Pedalwerk nur am Anfang und am Schluss angebracht gewesen. Aber grossartige Orgel, grosser Organist, unerreichbare europäische Musiktradition

[@1963mathetes]

I don't currently own any recordings by Mr. van Doeselaar. Question I can't answer is "Why?"

[@schmuelschperling1459]

Wow... One question- sometimes there are moments when it seems the overtones "collide" and there is an effect of a dissonance in the long notes. Is there an acoustic explanation for this?

[@user-kc6fp5qf1b]

Who also came here from "The three body problem" by Liu Cixin?

[@fvlok]

Nobody I guess? Hahaha

[@FittyNiner]

I have read the trilogy, but I don’t recall any references to churches, organ music, or Bach. But then, there’s a lot that I fail to recall.

[@TheOneUpright]

It's a somewhat thunderous. I prefer Jean Baptiste Dupont's performance

[@andreamundt]

I just listened to Dupont´s performance: G r e a t ! Thanks for your comment ! : -)

[@tilmanvondelft7461]

Van Doeselaar’s Heiliger Geist is a raucous one! 😂

[@bertuspieters4154]

I don't know if it's the recording or the playing, but the musical lines are very unclear. It is mostly noise.

[@voldemarskristiansbariss9909]

So viel Geräusch, weniger Musik...

[@dondondon786]

I dislike the registration in this performance. There is a lack of clarity in the parts played on the manuals.
