Finally, the Netherlands Bach Society posts the fifth organ sonata by Bach! Nowadays, Thursday has become a long awaited event and one of the highlights of the week. I wait for each Thursday with anticipation. Thank you NBS for your free gift to the world. If this cost something or wasn't on KZbin, I'd be missing out on such prize recordings. I would, in fact, very probably not even love music as much. With their beautiful work, the Nederlandse Bachvereniging is showing the world Bach in a way that we've never seen before! Thank you 10000 times! God bless you! ❤️

Ton Koopman is my very favourite organist ever, playing Bach. IMHO, he has taken the baroque embellishments (trills, mordents and appoggiaturas) and phrasing on the organ, to another level

[@voraciousreader3341]

Koopman is a legend. But an even greater legend, whose accomplishments in preserving Bach’s organ works in 3 separate, EPIC recordings of the complete works on the most important organs in the world, has raised the level of Bach organ scholarship and musicianship to the heights we now know and take for granted, is Marie-Claire Alain. Her massive achievement is largely overlooked bc she’s a woman, but, to my ears, the beauty, elegance, and intelligence of her playing is the Mount Everest all other future organists must try to emulate. _ And SHE PLAYED FROM MEMORY!!!_

[@crossiqu]

@@voraciousreader3341 Thank you for your opinion and recomendation but, everyone to his own taste ;-) I've did some comparative for several Bach organ works, and Koopman for me is the winner (just for my ears and my heart) between Walcha, Richter, Jacobs, Bohme, Preston, Doesselaar, Alain, Stockmeir, Fagius, Asma, etc. When i hear to an organ work i'm not aware of the gender or nationality of the organist. I had already heard several interpretations of Marie Claire Alain (which seriously, I'm sorry, I find out now that she is a woman) and I honestly consider her two levels below Koopman when it comes to baroque organ performance. (I insist on the recommendation to attend to the phrasing of the embellishments) It may also be that the organ or the sound engineer has an influence, but only a little. Koopman also have done the complete works.

The tempo is more moderate than we would expect from Ton Koopman.. but it still sounds like he’s in a hurry (maybe to catch a train or something). Why is that? Is he slightly robbing longer notes or parts of the beat? I guess, depending on what you think, it either comes across as energetic or uneasy.

I agree! Her renditions are alittle more clear in technique compared to Koopman, and are very inspiring as well.

[@florin11bv]

There is nothing in common in the binom MC Alain-Koopman, only the fact they are organist. I find the style of MCA extremely dry, unispired, too far of the ideal stylus fantasticus so well mastered by K. Michel Chapuis was much better than Alain.

[@franksteiner1275]

Too massive registration to my taste. voices are blurring. This is delicate chamber music. Check out on KZbin Daniel Chorzempa for the true beauty of the piece, recorded in 1972 but still the reference for the trio sonatas: J.S. Bach: Sonata No. 5 in C major, BWV 529 - 1. Allegro - All sonatas: J. S. Bach “Trio Sonata No. 1-6, BWV 525-530” (Daniel Chorzempa).

[@mokemohaveer1]

I don't know if it's the sound production or Koopman, the old sod - God bless him- but the voices (in the two outer movements esp.) could hardly be less aligned; the music is uncommonly out of time.

[@pollatadeina]

As he said of this organ in his commentary video, the articulation of the voices may be difficult to hear and therefore seeing the player can help (this is as I remember, not his exact words). It's a commentary well worth watching, for the history of the organ, i.a. But I agree with you somewhat. I kept comparing in my mind the John Butt recording, where the tempo is joyous and true and the voices singing and clear.

[@nunocarmona]

Koopman is my favorite baroque organist but, here, I think the acoustics of the place require a slower tempo on the first and last movement. The reverberation of the church muffles the faster notes and the interpretation looses clarity. This same performance would sound much better on a "dryer" acoustic environment.

@@johanngottliebgoldberg1055 I don't know - like I don't think he's bad by any stretch of the imagination, but I don't get why he's so beloved... these Bach organ recordings for the NBS are, honestly, sloppy. Yes, he's in his late 70s, and that plays a bit into it, but even his earlier Bach organ recordings aren't -that- fantastic, at least not to the degree for the praise he receives. But, I can only judge him on the his Bach organ recordings, not his other pursuits, for which I admittedly have zero familiarity.

[@simf7563]

Although Koopman is virtuosic, no question, I think he could have played it better in that room. The accoustic of the church is quite large, so that I would try to adapt more. In the first movement he is a bit sloppy and not always synchron. It may be the recording. The manual of the first voice sounds clear and near, pedal and second voice are pretty far. I don't enjoy listening to it, it's hard to recognize the lines an their beauty. They don't really fit together.
