To all the nay-sayers and critics out there, having played this organ myself I can tell you IMHO that Elske's chosen tempo, choice of registration and semi-detached articulation are absolutely perfect for this space - she is playing the room. This is a tour de force of technique and concentration and should be appreciated as such.

I agree, rgkd1951. Having visited a few times and played here (poorly, I might add) two things stand out: 1)The key action is rather "brisk" -- it takes good effort on the key, especially when coupled, and you can see that in the closeups of her fingers working hard. 2)The acoustic is marvelous. Listen to the decay at the end of the Prelude. If you play this work on this organ in this room in a legato style, the voices will just mush together. Likewise, I expect that this style in a dry acoustic would lack all character. Perfect tempo considering all the factors.

@@grahaml6668 I guess the way I'd put it is, this piece can have this tremendous weight to it that can only be achieved at a slower tempo (and it is a funeral piece). Obviously, Elske's technique is flawless; the crisp precision of her playing makes me imagine the Master at the keyboard himself.

Bravo Mme te Lindert. I enjoyed this very much and especially because you played an instrument that very much is of the sound-world of JS Bach. I have read a number of comments below which are critical of the tempo and style but to me it comes down to personal taste mostly. After all, none of us heard JSB himself play, and he left no detailed instructions, and we do not have records from writings of contemporary listeners when JSB performed. I'm just grateful that the Netherlands Bach Society has undertaken this project and that this recording exists. Thank You.

Wow that prelude is just so beautifully played I could spend a whole evening talking about it. There are so many fine details in the manner of how this prelude can be played, and preferences that will always be a little different by influences. The timing of not only the note values, but of the phrases, articulation and tempo is one of the most satisfying I've heard from a organ in a while. I'm not often that hung up on the actual performance more than the piece, but she surprisingly got my fullest attention after a few bars, and I think she deserves honor after clearly making a grand effort of an interpretation with so many details in a prelude, that is refreshing and inspirational to hear; I wouldn't be surprised if this could hold as a textbook example in playing Bach

And the instrument, as most Dutch organs, is fabulous. From deep down, thank you to the Nederlandse Bachvereniging !

To "teunis37", "Raden Laksamana", et al.: Well, in my KZbin viewer version's "Settings", I'm able to re-set the tempo; so, setting it down to 75% of "normal" (i.e., to a much more deliberate tempo) makes it sound, to me, even more majestic. (And BTW: A very detached style always seems to help better reveal Bach's magnificent architecture; a legato style, in comparison, tends to make it all seem rather "melted together" .) Finding myself decide the same re tempi, for virtually every rendition of J.S. Bach that I've ever tried slowing down (- a _lot_ of them -), this makes me wonder if JSB's own tempi were, +-all of them, much slower, & at times much _much_ slower, than ours, of his. ----- {Hope no one minds, BTW BTW, that this is almost the same comment that I submitted elsewhere here, re the same issue.}

A wonderfully vigorous and clear interpretation of perhaps my favorite work by Johann Sebastian Bach, or maybe even of any composer! I’ve always loved the prelude, and often thought the fugue was somewhat less, musically speaking. This interpretation finally “makes sense” of the fugue and makes the Prelude and Fugue a single coherent work. Kudos also to the recording crew where an empty church must make for a challenging environment!

I was interested to watch the short video "Te Lindert on Bach Prelude and fugue in B minor BWV 544 | Netherlands Bach Society", where she explains some aspects of these works and her approach to performing them. (I also love the sound of the tracker action which is recorded alongside her comments.) She could well feel bemused by some of the negative comments below, and I do wish that people would not make adverse comments on such a wonderful musician simply because they have different images of their "ideal" performance. They should also bear in mind just how far we have come in the last 70 years as part of the "period instrument movement". I now shudder to think that I was once content to listen to JSB played on the typical English cathedral organ by the typical English cathedral organist. But at that time, I knew no better!

Beautifully poised and thrilling performance. This is, I'm sure, the sound and speed Bach would have loved. The organ is perfect and has surprisingly less resonance than one would expect for such a barn like setting. I imagine the mics were placed quite close to the instrument. This is by far the best performance I've heard to date. (My Nicholas Kynaston recording on the Rieger organ in Clifton cathedral, near Bristol U. K., from the 1970s remains my absolute favourite. Although a smaller instrument, Kynaston achieves the most exciting build up with the fugue. The final addition of the 16ft pedal reed towards the end is spine tingling and perfect). Also noticed your equally accomplished 'assistant' turning the pages - I imagine she was due to perform next.

@larikipe9404 жыл бұрын
No, the pedal part does not determine the tempo of the piece; however, in my subjective opinion, I agree with you, this is at the very top of the speed limit for this piece; in fact, I think it's just a little too fast---this quick tempo detracts from the grandeur of the piece. And as far as the major organ works of Bach are concerned, this prelude is actually one of the easier ones to play, it fits very well under the hands. I'm not saying it's easy, but it is not as technically demanding as some of the others. The fugue, on the other hand, is quite difficult in sections, and I thought the tempo she chose for the fugue was perfectly fine.

By far the best performance of this work I've heard. I was particularly looking for non-legato semiquaver passages, and she delivered (helped by careful microphone placement-always a challenge in bouyant church acoustics). Quaver and longer notes were cleanly detached on the manuals, and well executed on the pedals, where detached playing can sometimes sound lumpy (the final note on some of the isolated pedal gestures in the fugue could have been cut shorter for crispness-just a personal preference). The agogic treaments marked short- and long-term structural corners beautifully. I say to students: go to this player to learn how to do it!

A stunning performance, indeed, on this magnificient Hinsz-Orgel in Kampen. Many years ago I studied this piece and was proud to finally play the prelude it in a comparable tempo like this here. Meanwhile I prefer to see this piece a bit more in the mourning, melancholic mood and play it slower (e.g. in the way as Albert Schweitzer did). But I must say, the way it is played here the affect / emotion of "bitterness and anger" is created in a fascinating and breathtaking way. Which is also an element of grief and fits as well to this passionate piece in the "passion key" B minor. The performance of the fugue is for my ears perfect in every respect, (tempo, registration, etc.), a real benchmark 🙂

This is an EXCELLENT performance. Maybe the best I have heard. The articulation is fantastic. I had never considered this sort of tempo and it actually works. Having said that, I personally would still take the fugue more slowly because I like to be more _pesante,_ particularly when the pedal returns (am I the only one who likes to add a 32' reed for the pedal's return?). I am also convinced that they didn't feature here a female organist merely for politically correct reasons, as she brings here an interpretation of considerable substance and is thus truly deserving.
