Welch eine komplexe Leistung des Verstandes ein solches Instrument mit Händen und Füßen perfekt zu bedienen. Es ist wie ein Wunder. Bach hatte wohl auch diese Fähigkeit, aber zugleich hatte er auch diese Musik erschaffen, die uns bis heute in der Seele trifft. Wie ist das möglich? Es wurde ihm nicht gedankt: zu viele Töne, welche die Menschen " verwirreten", so die damalige Kritik und bis heute! Die meisten Zeitgenossen sind definitiv überfordert.

[@agatazdebska4590]

So breathtaking. It's Johann Sebastian. Simple 💓

I can think of no better instrument than the king of all instruments to be used in the worship of the King of all kings!

The blinded organist doing the Toccata and Fugue in D minor is almost super human, Bravo, such majesty and beauty !

[@beautyinsound]

Haha the blinded organist is me!

[@herrickinman9303]

The organist wasn't "blinded." He was _blindfolded._

[@ethanlamoureux5306]

When you know it so well, you can literally do it blindfolded.

BWV 545 - Awesome! For me, the pedal is so defined and alive in Richards playing.

Starting off my Monday at work with this. It's been better than coffee believe it or not!

Wonderful!! Gloriously Majestic !!! J.S. Bach's most popular and well-loved pieces by far!! Blessings to All!! Thanks! Lynnae Larson

[@bobbyhendley3084]

It’s been 7 months since you posted this and I first listened to it, but sometimes I just have an intense inner need for Bach. It’s like he hits one of my internal reset buttons. But then so does Vierne. lol Thank you for doing so much to restore my soul this afternoon. It’s been a few rough days. You are reliably, as always, a blessing.

[@seanpeare-M0WSP]

Absolutely amazing. Thank you to all those professional organists who are an inspiration to all of us. The last piece "BWV 478 come sweetest death, come blessed rest and take my hand and gently lead me on", was my first piece I played on the beautiful Chichester Cathedral organ under the guidance of organist Timothy Ravalde. It was also the first time ever in my life that I played a real pipe organ and a cathedral organ at that. Thank you Richard and BIS.

[@peteverhelst2088]

Thank you Richard, what a wonderful way to close out the day! To God be the glory

I'm so very grateful that I got to hear lots of classical music growing up. Even though I didn't appreciate it at the time. The acoustics are just perfect in a cathedral. This is utterly phenomenal. Everyone listening to this has excellent taste in music. Thank you.

So graceful, peaceful, joyful. Ears enjoyed the play Eyes enjoyed the performance by organists. Fantastic.

[@williamarsenault4021]

What a gift. Thank you so much. :))

[@hopelessnerd6677]

Awesome! Bach sure knew how to squeeze the juice out of an organ. I can only imagine the feeling of being able to control a machine the size of a building with a few small levers and making such incredible music.

[@johnhudelson2652]

People.admired.J.S.Bach's.playing. To which he.replied something like; "Nothing to it. You simply move your fingers and your feet to the right places at the right times and.the.organ plays itself."

[@johnhudelson2652]

Bach could also.squeeze the juice out a violin. You look at his partitas and sonatas for unacompanied violin and you can see that only someone who had an intimate knowledge of the violin could.compose such works.

[@janemazzola4454]

GLORIOUS!!! And SO WONDERFUL to return to time & time again!

[@lenrusnak162]

HOWEVER! The performances are totally amazing? BUT! It must be said: The camera work!! WOW! The very best of creativity & technology give me chills! Thanks so much for the countless hours you must have spent on this most amazing video! I would love to know how you superimposed the pedal camera over the score. That is an amazing effect. Many thanks from Colorado, U.S.A.🎼🎹🎹🎹

"Organ music - the mighty power of sound" - In the world of music, there is hardly anything that can touch the senses as deeply as majestic organ music. The organ, often referred to as the "queen of instruments", has an incomparable power that resonates in its waves of sound. With its imposing pipes, brought to life by skilled organists, the organ creates an atmosphere that transports us to another world. The impressive presence and diverse sound possibilities of the organ make it the ideal choice for the performance of both sacred and secular music. In churches, it lends a sublime aura to liturgical celebrations, while in concert halls and theaters it impresses audiences with its monumental sounds. Organ music requires not only virtuoso skills, but also a deeply emotional interpretation. Its deep basses and high trebles can express a wide range of feelings, from solemn joy to poignant sadness. This musical gem attracts people from all over the world and proves time and time again that it has a timeless and transformative power. In a hectic world where we are often overwhelmed by the tide of everyday life, organ music reminds us that there is an incomparable power in silence and music that touches our souls and transports us to a world of beauty and contemplation. Experience the majestic power of organ music and let yourself be enchanted by its sounds. GvL - SINGER DR. B... - VIENNA - JAN 21 - 2024

So happy to see organ shoes! 😎

[@pertjarnstrom1330]

I start thinking....how would I think when I try to find a job like a organist.... More stops - better pipeorgan....No would be other things to check up to, but more stops give better chance to make the music like you will have it. And....what about the education in to to be a organist? What are you learning more than just playing? You would learn a lot of all different parts of the organ and even about all different stops.....And yes, I will listen and enjoy this video later.

What a wonderful channel. You may well use it as a background while you do something else - but as for me - no fear! I am going to be listening intently - as well as watching these wonderful musicians as they perform; playing separate parts with hands on several keyboards with the feet playing their own part!

[@michaelcollins6577]

So, I wondered.How do I take in this Bach compilation? I had worked hard in the garden all day, dinner was now done but the evening chores, the dishes, the floor, aching limbs from the garden, perhaps a long bath, a glass of fine Australian Shiraz? I would need to navigate through various sound systems and screens. I would be listening rather than watching mostly. While to a fair extent I was familiar with the Bach works, the challenge I set myself, given I was was flying mostly blindfolded as I flipped about undertaking my chores and after all, didn't Richard suggest this was background Bach, I wanted to know was WHO is playing WHAT and is this a LIVE or VIRTUAL organ. Thus far, this is yet another fine BIS compilation, wonderful performances, beautifully recorded and produced. Now for my bath, more Bach and that glass of Australian Shiraz. Will my review change? Thank you again Richard

[@markhurst5064]

Appreciate your amazing talent and hard work and love you show for the music. I heard the gigue fugue once as a teenager at a recital in Denver and had to learn it. It inspired me later to study organ at university and I performed it for one of my recitals. Full circle! To hear it again so masterfully rendered brings back those good memories. Love your work and performances! (Happy Patreon supporter😀 )
