Improvisation 'Une jeune fillette' / 'Von Gott will ich nicht lassen'

[@theodoravonwied5441]

Mister de Vries, when I heard your older improvisations on "Une jeune fillette" on the Saint Savin organ, I thought it could not be done any better. It was marvellous, and I listened to it many times. But this is absolutely mindblowing! Thank you very much!

Absolutely brilliant! The organist, the organ, the variations, the registration, the acoustic and the recording: it doesn't get better than this. With thanks from this listener in Canada.

Just awesome on every level. Just recently fell down the pipe organ rabbit hole and the listing of the stops used really helps me to understand and appreciate more deeply. I also love his videos in which he gives the history of particular organs and demonstrates their various stops etc. 👏🙏

I am fascinated. And deeply impressed. Of this extraordinary beauty and aesthetic. About this brilliant, breathtaking virtuosity. About the art of variation. And the counterpoint. Right up to the crowning finale. I can't find any more words because these variations are perfect. Particularly beautiful variations from the Église Abbatiale St Maurice in Alsace. Wonderful variations by Sietze de Vries and a pleasure to hear the Silbermann organ again. The "Voix Humaine’" is particularly impressive and touching. Masterly and enthusiastic playing by Mr Sietze de Vries. It was a pleasure to listen to, hartelijk dank meneer de Vries.

wunderbar! und so ein fantastisches Plenum dieses Instrument

Bravo! With all the stamping, whistling and cheering that one hears in the Royal Albert Hall during the Proms season! An unusual organ in that the case is decorated with floral specimens and a generally non-religious theme. And the arrangement of the accidentals on the pedal board would take some getting used to. Wonderful sound though!

Var 4: wat een creatief gebruik van alleen Nasard 3’ begeleiding met 8 uitkomend in pedaal, spelen in 2 toonsoorten tegelijk!

Tja, als je geen Fluit 4' op het orgel hebt.... 🙂

Bijzonder knap en fraai. En wat een mooi instrument, een prachtige combo van Franse en wat meer noord-oostelijke invloeden. Goed om het op deze fraaie wijze te horen, ik kende het alleen vanachter de klaviatuur, lang geleden.

Wederom van grote klasse en wat is die vox humana prachtig !
