Bach Trio Sonata no. 2 in C minor: Anna Lapwood (organ)

A short clip from Anna Lapwood's concert from the Ryedale Festival Online 2020.
Bach Trio Sonata no. 2 in C minor
I Vivace
II Largo
III Allegro

[@mustermann8770]

Playing two pianos and stepdance in one time is pure magic. 😳

[@unclemick-synths]

I love the way Anna plays. Some musicians lose the music in their quest for technical perfection and others try too hard to impose themselves on the piece. Anna doesn't make either mistake.

[@charlottewhyte9804]

agree very obvious

[@voraciousreader3341]

Then, of course, there are the giants, such as Marie-Claire Alain, who always played Bach from memory, as though it was her first language. And, of course, _she recorded ALL of Bach’s 200+ organ works _*_3 TIMES,_* because her sense of history demanded that she play on Bach’s organs or organs of his time located behind the Iron Curtain as they they became available to Western organists. I really enjoy M. Lapwood’s playing (I don’t know her, so I can’t use her first name) because it’s obvious she’s thought things through and has a wonderful sense of the music that’s all her own.

[@ajons190]

Anna is as masterful an organist as there is. Expression without eccentricity, a rare combination and found in nearly all her performances.

[@theverseshed]

"Expression without eccentricity" - perfectly describes Anna's natural enthusiasm and musicality.

[@mymobile5014]

I love her passion. You can see her love for what she does. I love listening to this kind of music now because it's delivered by someone who loves it and wants others to. Anna Lapwood is the Organ Queen.

[@patmcdermott4832]

My favourite of Bach's Trio Sonata's beautifully played by Anna Lapwood. 🙂

[@BingWrosby]

In a KZbin world full of 5 manual, 100+ rank organs, I get really excited when I see a smaller organ nowadays. I thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you!

[@johnevans5879]

Crystal clear playing, lovely to hear all the notes in a very suitable acoustic, thank you Anna

[@gerardfangeau7162]

What a pleasure to see, and hear, a young woman playing organ with such talent and joy in the eyes ! You show us the wide power of organ, both spiritual, classical and modern under your fingers (and feet !). Thank you for this fresh air in serious music.

[@FFS704]

I've always shied away from the Organ (and Harpsichord) but listening to Anna Lapwood play Bach has made me seek out all her recitals on KZbin and i am now starting to develop an appreciate for this magnificent instrument and for the exceptional artist (and person) that is Anna Lapwood.

[@OldPannonian]

Well, nobody is perfect...

[@Gladtobeleaving]

I've watched organists close up on large instruments and complex music.. Lapwood is truly amazing; her brain wiring would stump anyone else alive.

[@rossmorrow3013]

Absolutely stunning, not just in the technical challenges, but in its sheer beauty in registration. Thank you.

[@erasistratosoytis6946]

Ancora un meraviglioso tragitto nell universo grazie al divino Bach e a te.

[@MitchBoucherComposer]

Great performance, Anna!

[@SpongiousBird]

I'm not a big fan of classical music, but somehow I made it to this video and enjoyed it! Especially the last part... wow! Seeing the way Anna plays (especially with her feet) makes me enjoy the music even more.

[@ryedalefestival2623]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@propatria1942]

Well, nobody is perfect. Don't be afraid to 'like' classical music. The aversion you have is thanks to Hollywood, which denigrated this genre of music for many decades. Very little is sacred or respectable to the Hollywood magnates.

[@Tomm9y]

Thank you Anna.

[@StefanoRattini]

Very nice performance!

[@guitarsupport]

Once again Bach's music is in best hands in UK😍

[@nelsonwhaley6348]

God must have surely composed such music through Bach.....heavenly. I have always held Simon Preston's Bach organ recordings to be unsurpassable..this is certainly at a similar level..lovely phrasing and dynamism and holds one's attention. These are tricky. Well played Anna.

[@MrCSutton]

She's excellent. I've always held Peter Hurford's Bach recordings in the highest regard and clearly we're lucky to have a younger person obviously following in the footsteps of him and Simon.

[@ryszarddabrowski4790]

Pięknie oddany charakter utworu, z uczuciem i zrozumieniem treści. Dziękuję.

[@Bacholoji]

BWV 526 - Bach Trio Sonata no. 2 in C minor 00:44 Vivace 04:39 Largo 08:43 Allegro

[@gerardbegni2806]

A very clear and limpid rendering of this sonata, in which C minor does not bring any darkness. Congratulations, Anna !!!!

[@macolganjames3356]

Absolutely wonderful playing Anna. The first section is one of my all time favourites from Bach. Seeing you play with all that amazing normally unseen footwork going on , reminds me of the serene swan gliding along the river, while paddling like mad below.

[@XIIIRaphael]

Lapwood の愛らしさは罪の域だ

[@flavio5051]

Wonderful!

[@philipperigutto5029]

Bravo ! Très belle registration ! Grande précision et musicalité au top ...c'est génial !

[@hermannhunzinger8881]

Diese ANNA ist einfach unglaublich gut.Ich stelle mir immer vor der alte JSB hätte so gespielt.

[@ron88303]

This is magnificent! Thank you for sharing!

[@ryedalefestival2623]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@A1IslaFan]

Most enjoyable Anna and the scenic video clips ..beautiful. 🙏🌻

[@edwardchilds8470]

Such wonderful, sensitive, musical playing. Thanks!

[@meredith218461]

Superbly played, she chooses a perfect registration which brings clarity to the intricate writing of the great JSB.

[@christianbesson6353]

Magnifique, toujours émouvantes ces sonates en trio. Merci Anna.

[@charlottewhyte9804]

beautiful Thank you love registration too. Nice introduction about the sonaya,please I want more Anna Thanks

[@charlottewhyte9804]

yes

[@javiergastonganuza7848]

Soberbio. Capacidad técnica sin límites. Bravo, organista, en su interpretación de "Il sommo"

[@flippert0]

This is outstanding! On par with Peter Hurford. Excellent clarity!

[@frankvalvekens8010]

Anna plays some beautiful organs... but this one sounds so... warm..... really .... what a beautiful sound...... great to listen to.

[@ojotut]

The Bach Trio Sonatas are his best pieces, to my ears. Too bad they are so bloody difficult to play! Nicely done, Anna. You are brave!

[@memofrf]

Epic. Thank you.

[@michelebaffo5741]

Masterful.

[@1thomson]

It's almost as though she's dancing while playing. Fascinating.

[@leonardosamu2300]

The tempo is fantastic! Congratulations!

[@abeatingheart]

Wow, beautiful!

[@davestelling]

This is wonderful, thank you...

[@marcingraczyk387]

I really enjoyed listeninng the whole Sonata but just loved Allegro.

[@ryedalefestival2623]

Thanks for listening

[@michelemarchese259]

It's hard to think that classical music might not like it..... and especially Bach's music, the essence of music itself!

[@luccianodip]

Amazing performance, very cool ❤

[@ArtFreeman]

She plays exceptionally well.

[@danielgrinneiser9930]

trés bonne organiste et bel orgue!!!!

[@le_0318]

Very nice performance❤

[@meredith5061]

Thank you!

[@Offshoreorganbuilder]

Excellent video, all round.

[@小出龍太郎-h6z]

Very vivide and clean! Rhythmical and good tempo. Ariticulations , phrasing and accent were very natural and authentic, I felt very flesh, as if I met 21 century's New Marie-Claire-Alain?

[@kevinchastain727]

Started to listen with head phones and that was not working so I plunged in the surround sound so every one listened. very nice.

[@bertspeggly4428]

It's fine on good headphones, like Sony MDRv6. Not earbuds if that's what you mean.

[@bobwillis8731]

I thought I recognised the organ, it is St Michael's Coxwold North Yorkshire

[@charlottewhyte9804]

so many girl organists ,I,m so amazed wow

[@pandoraefretum]

Excellent

[@aaronmoralesesparza691]

ANNA....exquisita tu interpretacion...y que belleza...las danzarinas de tus pies en los pedales....

[@nickatkinson5692]

BRAVA

[@zapfanzapfan]

Just lovely, and music isn't bad either 😉

[@martialme84]

00:28 I respect that you went to the trouble and learned to actually say "Bach". Too many lazy people say "buc" instead and that sounds so incredibly bad...

[@echoplots8058]

And for the really advanced: "Bach macht Krach"

[@MitchBoucherComposer]

Some folks don't want to think outside the Bach's!

[@nigeldunkley2986]

Ach! Just come to Scotland and see where I grew up near Loch Rannoch!

[@erikthenorviking8251]

Gerauchte Lachs!!

[@williamstephenjackson6420]

An instrument obviously designed for an octopus 🐙 (who can also drink tea while they play) but Anna is it’s absolute master … er … mistress. You know what I mean. 😊 She is amazing.

[@Tesserae]

Very surprised to see Bach in her repertoire and played with such virtuosity, after all clips of her playing modern movie sound tracks on Instagram.

[@jospenner9503]

Tell me about it.

[@phpn99]

Good performance. This begs a listen of Michel Chapuis' version with is more relaxed and breathing while maintaining a steady pace at a similar tempo. André Isoir's version is also wonderful.

[@Airy59]

Excellent. And where's that nice little organ ? Coxwold ?

[@automatofix]

I. Allegro II. Largo 4:43 III. Allegro 8:45

[@Frogs84]

She’s amazing. It infuriates me that I can’t do this.

[@stuartbriggs4006]

Likewise....

[@Youtube_deleted_my_favourites]

If you start now and play every day for 20 years we will see you on here

[@roderickandrews3838]

Interesting Organ...

[@bobwillis8731]

Which Church is this organ in ???

[@ryedalefestival2623]

Well spotted. It's a beautiful little church.

[@robertlewis4216]

Full marks

[@billygamer3941]

Why is it that smaller instruments such as this seem to have clearer articulation than the larger ones (e.g: St John's Smith Square in London--kzbin.info/www/bejne/iquuXqePe6yErpY)? Ms Lapwood's talent for the instrument and love of its related music are delightfully rendered for us.

[@keescanalfp5143]

think that the thing could be called acoustics of the building, or reverberation time, or some concept connected to these. combined with a larger distance of the recording gear to the instrument , in favour of any so called spatial impression .

[@mikefitzpatrick1213]

Upvote for heel - toe. I love her technique.

[@Nurwin1]

Beautiful! And the organ piece wasn't too bad either.

[@ВыйдиВон-д2у]

Успокаивает, блин 😔

[@Gladtobeleaving]

If I'm reincarnated as a 20-something British music lover, can I be your page turner? With iPads, does anyone even use page turners anymore? Lovely perfomance.

[@edopituco1]

Is it just me or am I hearing e naturals on measure 33 on the first movement on both hands when they are supposed to be e flats…?! Anybody cares to confirm? It just sounds so strange after the theme exposition on the dominant..

[@geiryvindeskeland7208]

edopitu…You’re right. In measure 33, she plays in the alto E natural instead of E flat.

[@bobbyfrieslandjr.895]

Your tallent remind me of an American organist Diane Bish

[@bertspeggly4428]

@richardharrold9736 Wouldn't be that harsh, but they are very different.

[@russedav5]

Very good. It's just that in view of performance practice in Bach's time with the short pedals, he had to use all toe, no heel. No big deal, just FYI. Good job.

[@geiryvindeskeland7208]

russedav5. «No big deal». Well, we hear the difference between 9:37-38 (non legato) and 9:40-41 (legato), Sure, there will be a difference in musical express as well. Non legato brings more life to the music. A real challenge to play without heels has to be the pedal solo at the very end of the fugue, BWV 532. Keep in mind that the pedal board back then was plane, so the top and bottom keys were even a little further away from your feet then in our time. Because it is more fun to praise than to criticize, I would give her credit for not playing a stressful trill from the bery beginning of a long tone (9:56) but letting us hear the main tone before the trill begins. Also, it’s great to hear that she ‘s really playing correct at 10:05. Some organists cheat by playing triols, because it’s technically easier to play.

[@Youtube_deleted_my_favourites]

Oh, it's alright! 😂

[@joegalligan8131]

It really looks like Anna needs anew pair of mary janes ! Treat yourself. You are a fantastic organist!

[@bertspeggly4428]

She is probably so used to those that she won't change them till they literally fall off.
