J. S. Bach - Chorale-Prelude "Ich ruf zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ" BWV 639

[@Pious888]

С прослушивания этой хоральной прелюдии в исполнение Гарри Гродберга,началась моя продолжительная любовь к органной музыке,которая живет в настоящем времени❤

[@Eppo194]

Veel dank Ton Koopman voor het prachtig, gedragen spelen van deze schitterende muziek. Muziek als een gebed, muziek die mij beroert tot in het diepst van mijn ziel.

[@litanijebral]

The organ being played by Koopman on this recording is one of the most renown works of the organ-building art- it is one of the two organs built by Karl Joseph Riepp in 1766 in the Ottobeuren abbey in Germany. Google it for further details, there are a lot of recordings made on this organ here on youtube.

[@marcowunnenberg2239]

Voller Gefühl,exellent vorgetragen....Danke Ihnen Herr Koopmann.

[@MitchBoucherComposer]

Koopman's tempo here is perfect to me. He takes full advantage of the reverberation in the cathedral, and his ornamentation isn't too over-the-top. His registration is very nice as well.

[@Ann0-23-ky7dq]

Living/Singing/Playing for over 5x yrs. With these Chr. Hymns etc. I can only come up with one word, UPLIFTING..

[@wellpelko]

This is just one example of the greatnes of the Master, this is J.S.Bach. This is also a great way for a prayer: I call for You, my Christ! It really should be played calmly, like he does. With the pace of a prayer. "I call for you, my Jesus and Christ!". Couldn't it be more beautiful and yet so saint.

[@j8u2]

"Ich ruf zu dir Herr Jesu Christ". "I call to thee Lord Jesus Christ". And , thankfully, the tempo suggest one willing to wait for an answer!

[@ilyasnm837]

There is something incredible magical about this piece. J.S. Bach = The musical voice of divinity truth, fate and eternity

[@belamoure]

Lent ou plus vif c'est toujours beau c'est du Bach il s'accommode à toutes les sauces.

[@tomalbrecht3535]

Unbelievable beautiful! Thank you!

[@ameliafromsydney]

Soul wrenching

[@junglemonkey2310]

This quits me down, and it is a balm for my soul. Out of the depths I call to Thee oh my Father in Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. I feel the spirit coming on me like a soft cloud. Ton Koopman, you are a genius, you present this so well, thank you.

[@thomasdastillung4097]

His mastery in ornamentation and trills is unique.

[@RumoAoSul]

His ornamention is, as always, perfect.

[@rieske2000]

The most beautiful rendition out there. Hartelijk dank Ton Koopman. Prachtig!

[@ben-6670]

Prachtig gespeeld door Joop Koopman, en met wat n schitterende snelheid, als je dat van een kerkorgel stuk kan zeggen. Wel n beetje verbaasd, omdat Tom meestal wel van ‘opschieten’ houdt.😉 Maar deze uitvoering steekt nu voor mij uit boven die van de meeste andere organisten. Dank Tom.

[@THEMGOROTH75]

Τhe best music ever written!!From God to our world with hope!!!

[@ZosimoLee]

I am learning how to listen to polyphonic musical texture with this classical gem from Bach.

[@evilblades]

every note prods my spine!. an amazing piece.

[@melissaraven3164]

There are many versions of this chorale that I love, both organ and piano. But I think Ton Koopman plays it particularly well - there's something extra, something deeply meaningful

[@Wentiz]

The tuning of the organ is different, A = 432 Hz. So it's played in the original key. And Tom just plays it slowly and peacefully.

[@loewtemp]

Eternity is slow! I have never heard a performance of this piece of music as well done as this one before! It is divine mathematics, discovered by Bach... Thank you Mr Koopmann ... and japino11

[@JuicyOrganism]

Mooi, prachtig mooi met deze gedragen tred!

[@sergesalnikoff5300]

Bravo!

[@OlegSutyrin]

This is the best version, most meditational...

[@clavis55]

I love this Choral!

[@frenchiecocorico1]

@oswaldovernet This tempo is surely slow compared to how organists used to play but I think it is not abnormal when the choral is replaced in the right context. The verse told the story of Simeon who waited the becoming of the Messiah. He was so old when he met the new born Jesus. He said "Thanks God to make me alive so long time and allows me to see the Saviour of the world. Now it's time for me to go in thy paradise peacefully. My soul is ready". So, the atmosphere must be quiet.

[@andreipetrov5157]

это очень красиво! божественно!

[@Tvllivs1999]

Absolut!!!

[@szimanka]

Sehr schon! Gute tempo!! Danke schon!

[@ZoeEGrace]

This is sublime. :)

[@wellpelko]

I think, this is the way the master B. played this, and other His master pieces ... Much slower, than we, children of the modern pace would like to hear it ...

[@Emunozcjnick]

2:37 i don't know what it is about that long note, i love it. i want to understand why it stands out unlike the others. might it be tuned differently or contains overtones, harmonics, or something like that? i dont know??? anyone

[@manoelfernandez3461]

The thing its that note its a Dotted Half note with a Fermata, continued by the same note but as a Quarter note (All of this in a common time measure)

[@manoelfernandez3461]

Its just a very large note continued by the same note but shorter xd

[@srgmh1]

Ich ruf zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ !!!

[@gfduda3]

belo!!!

[@jwprice89]

@Helryth Nothing wrong with a bit of humility...

[@Helryth]

@muhamme0 not everyone thinks of it like you. many really believe such creativity can just come from a godly "touch", if you know what i mean

[@wellpelko]

Well, after all this commenting, I can still put one argument on the ring: the articulation of the music, and that is really the drills. Human fingers and their coordinations put the limits in the last place ... And we who love the music as much as the God, do not want to make the music of tha master Bach a place of some circus art.

[@farfa15]

@Helryth Indeed.

[@muhamme0]

@Helryth It is not more than an expression to show how great this music was we know it is not from god .. man !

[@albertocolzani897]

Tempo giusto, buona espressività. Peccato per gli abbellimenti eccessivi

[@tatusha]

it's not in the original key, it's lower, and the tempo is slowed down, so I think the recording might have been slowed down on purpose?

[@gijsschubert7901]

Indeed, it is slow and not in the original key, what happened?

[@gastonmazzei8087]

chelito gandolfo vos estas en todas eh

[@wellpelko]

No, not slow. I think this is close to the original tempo. In our time it is a very common fault to take too fast tempos.

[@brunobelli983]

Non è troppo lento?

[@3NUNS]

... koo p man is a bit of genius ... .

[@esmeraldaal-rebai3333]

waaw

[@Helryth]

@Malachayas wat?

[@gottfried-o8k]

"Who were you talking to Kris?"

[@3NUNS]

@wellpelko : troo

[@Helryth]

@Malachayas oh thanks, i should learn german language :D

[@3NUNS]

@oswaldovernet : you are rude !

[@chrisdoeller7332]

Its why I usually hate to attend an organ concert by a young person. They blast away, then as a filler insert a more reflective piece and skip through it at high speed with too many stops used.

[@esaulr.775]

Nunca me gusta este señor y nunca me emociona. Por qué nunca se atiene a la partitura?

[@alexgomez2]

Bach no dejó ni indicaciones de velocidad y de registros. Aunque esta versión es un tanto lenta a como estoy acostumbrado y a como la toco, entiendo que el Sr. Ton Koopman, quien es en su propio derecho un gran experto, tiene toda la potestad de hacerlo a su propio estilo y velocidad dentro de los parámetros estilísticos de Bach y del Barroco Alemán.

[@esaulr.775]

alexgomez2 Nadie discute la capacidad de este señor, faltaría más, ni su derecho a tocar a Bach como él quiera, así como el mío a que no me guste :-P Ahora, sus versiones de Bach están muy sobrevaloradas, hay un exceso infumable de morcillas de su cosecha, de rubatos exagerados, eso cuando no "escribe" pasiones imitando a Bach... Pese a todo es indudable que tiene grabaciones históricas (por ejemplo su BWV 1080 o sus sonatas 1027-1029 junto a Savall), pero esta versión es de un estilo relamido que recuerda más a Cesar Frank que al Kapellmeister.

[@TheWayOfTheArtery]

People, try to be better

[@sasha42196]

He is deliberately playing it super slow.

[@charlottewhyte9804]

too slow

[@Saucisson16]

A bit too slow...

[@junglemonkey2310]

+misspianissima No, no, no, this NOT too slow, it is meant for slowly sink into the heart and the spirit. Not faster, please, this is perfect. We get out of the rat race and not turn something like this into a rat race. Calm, calm, calm, and slow, so beautiful, a pearl of great value. Thanks Ton Koopman.

[@j8u2]

+misspianissima Not slow at all! It is written to embrace the soul. It means nothing if it's going by so fast that the soul can't get a glimpse.

[@Helryth]

stop that crap.. this piece was made by a human being for human beings. all that shit about for/from God just humiliates the uniqueness of human intellect

[@DailyBach]

Pray tell, why is it titled "I call to thee, Lord Jesus Christ?"

[@ZoeEGrace]

Longing is a very human emotion. There is no necessity for the longing to be rooted in something real. The longing is just as real as if it were. And I am an atheist, saying this.

[@loewtemp]

Eternity is slow! I have never heard a performance of this piece of music as well done as this one before! It is divine mathematics, discovered by Bach... Thank you Mr Koopman ... and japino11
