Funkiest JS BACH TOCCATA EVER! Toccata Mambo in D Minor | Rainer Hersch Orkestra

[@shirleyhare6177]

This man has the most magical ear for music, and the humour to go with it, well done Rainer and orchestra! Australia 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@oldphart6425]

All credit to the musicians, I'm sure they're all very familiar with the music they normally play and then this!! How can they not just cry with delight with these arrangements that push thier talents. Respect

[@ianjohnson2009]

Bach meets Gershwin meets Hersch.....awesome Rainer. 👏🏻

[@lindakhadavi846]

And Bernstein!

[@KSMSDRPEPPER]

And I think the whole lot of them would be pleased that their music has lived on long enough for this delightful mash-up!

This man and his orchestra never fail to make me smile.

[@wrightthomas05]

I doubt you'll ever see this, but to the horn player, I love your low-down tone. Great "fat" sound. Not enough players know how to embrace the raspiness below middle C. The notes leading up to that A in the opening statements really have some kick. Smashed it. From a former player.

[@RainerHerschYouTube]

Thank you for that. The horn player is called Sam Pearce. He is Rainer Hersch's regular horn player. We will get the message to him and are sure he will be delighted with your very informed comments.

[@sampearce4551]

Thank you for your very kind words Tom, what a lovely thing to say!

[@wrightthomas05]

@@sampearce4551 Awesome. Glad you saw this - technology works!

[@wrightthomas05]

Oh, and I meant G...it's been a long time since I've played and I went a fifth in the wrong direction! I used to play 4th in a bunch of youth orchestras due to my low-down ability (my embouchure was rubbish so I'd tire with constant high notes). I did, however, complete my A.Mus.A (in Australia) in 2003, but I chose not to make music my career, and with university and life getting in the way, I gave up a few years later and haven't played since. I still love listening to music, and hearing a good horn player with great tone still excited me. All the best.

[@sad_ellie_pr]

I've never known a man like that is really existing! So so great and well known in all the music and sounds! I love him 🎶👍❤🎵

[@randomcitizen3939]

How do people sit still listening to this? I am rocking out to this in my seat.

[@lxdgr8]

It's my sincere prayer that I get to listen to this genius and his goofballs some day!!

[@eligebrown8998]

Honestly have to give these musicians lots of credit for their great skill and not falling over with laughter cause I couldn't do it.

[@junesperber6257]

[@edgarvalderrama1143]

I STILL claim that no matter how hard they try to spoil Bach - he always survives!

[@stephanieellis5399]

Considering how much Bach himself played around with music, his innumerable variations on a theme, does this not fall into the same theme of play? I wouldn't say that they "spoiled" it. They played with it using styles and techniques that Bach didn't have. They aren't claiming to be playing Bach's work faithfully (though what is that, really?). It's an experiment and everyone in the audience knows that. What I mean by "playing it faithfully" is that Bach was so prolific in his writing that he couldn't write each part the way musicians receive them now. They'd get basic themes and notes but the score wouldn't be complete in the way we know them now. I'd bet that there's more than one piece of Bach's that if he heard them today he'd say that they aren't being played they way he intended. I agree with you, though. The integrity of Bach's works are so sound that they stand up to experiments like this.

[@m.j.eriksson2673]

Any of you hear him turning in his grave? Because I don't, he'd love to see his pieces are still played.

[@donna30044]

Turning? No, those are pirouettes while dancing.

[@megangaukroger4195]

A new twist on one of my favourites--The Toccata!! Well done!

[@howardmckenna]

Fine piece of comedic music. That was nice to watch and hear. Bravo.

[@elainepearson6101]

I love this piece played on the organ for which it was written but i must admit Rainer Hersch certainly makes u laugh with his interpretations of different music. It must give the orchestras he works with a change to play a known piece but to totally differently arrangement. It us a lot if fun.

[@thegreyarea-WPP]

Always such an amazing medley.

Awesome! Only used to hear this as organmusic :D

May 11 2018. I think 40 people either don't like music or have no sense of humour!

[@derKarl_stp]

or both ;-)

[@onemercilessming1342]

Pyotr Leflegin--Let's leave it at those 40 (now 78 as of 11/20/19) haven't been trained well enough in music to recognize the influence that the Classical Master had/have on the successive generations of musicians and composers (and conductors).

[@musikerman52]

There is nothing humorous in this. Just a terrible mess of Bach (which, by the way, has a marvelous drive by itself, doesn't need this kind of creepy versions) and mambo, which I also like as such. Just a complete waste of time, energy and musicianship. Boring!

[@julianmatthews5785]

musikerman52 it’s just a bit of fun to liven up a piece that’s getting a bit boring and very overplayed for anyone, especially organists such as myself, the original is albeit an amazing piece but this isn’t to be taken seriously at all...
