J.S.Bach - Passacaglia e Thema Fugatum d'apres BWV 582

[@carlopost2738]

Magnificent performance. My father - who was an excellent amateur organ player - has played this piece on organ for many times. I myself am a reasonable good recorder player. If my father had lived now (he has died suddenly in 2003), we had taken all effort to get the score of this master piece and formed a group to perform and study this. Long ago we had such a group consisting of oboe, traverso, recorder, cello and organ. So we could do this.

The best piece of music ever written by human! And what a beautiful interpretation :)

[@broquemusician]

now imagine playing all 5 voices on accordion. :)

[@csati]

I'm so happy, that I'm not alone with this opinion! I mean that I've never heard more beautiful music ever. But the interpretation is maybe the best I could found on YT.

[@guidosalvetta3741]

Bach would be so proud 😭This is just supreme.

[@generalackbar245]

I've read so many comments, arguing either "Bach would disapprove this", or "approve that", or "applause that cover", or "ban that organ player"... I still wonder what did He really think when He was writing, that piece for organ, that one for harpsichord, this one for 2 violins and a flute.... Was He thinking "The hell! Whatever the instruments that are used, I write pure music" ? Or was the choice of the instrument a preliminary and mandatory step, in his writing process ? Did he just throw a copper coin in the air, guessing "Ah! head or tails? Head! OK bro', next piece will be for organ!" Or was there, since the beginning, something in his mind, that guided his way of writing, once he had chosen "I'm about to write a toccata for organ - a passacaglia for organ (and not a chamber orchestra) - a fantasia for harpsichord". (humor of course, but serious questions inside!) I don't know... I guess nobody know and will never know... the Masta has gone. Nowadays, we're just allowed to suppute, and imagine what standed in his mind as he left us his colossal masterwork and made us his heir. I don't know if Johann-Sebastian-the-Great would have appreciated this. I only know, as a fervent admirer and an unconditional fan of this composer - and particularly this piece : it's GORGEOUS. Quiet and relaxing, peaceful and lovable. One thumb up, yes, absolutely!

[@johannsebastianbach3411]

I am indeed very proud. Great music will sound magnificent​ regardless of the instrumentation.

[@Mau365PP]

@@generalackbar245 dude the fact that he recycled his own works for other instruments and how he didn't indicate the instrument in the art of the fugue makes it possible that he didn't give a fuck as long as it sounds good

[@generalackbar245]

+Mau365PP> I agree. But there are two camps in Bach's heir. The ones who absolutely don't want to change a single silence in the whole score. And the ones who dare to play the "BWV 565" with 2 guitars, a bass and a drumkit. I don't know who is right or who is wrong. I don't even know if someone is right and the other wrong... I think - but it is just MY opinion - I think by the end of his life, Masta Bach has reached such a level, he was writing "pure music" - The Art of Fugue is such an example of that. That music does not care "what" or "who" could play it. It is pure music, pure harmony, pure study.

Najpierw wysłuchałem tego utworu w wykonaniu jakiegoś organisty, później w wykonaniu Krystiana Zimmermana na fortepianie, a po nim to samo zagrały dwie młode akordeonistki - aż w końcu natrafiłem na poniższe nagranie. Gdy słucham tego wykonania to mam wrażenie, że wcześniejsi wykonawcy odwalali jakąś straszną chałę - bez składu i ładu :-) Oni są genialni!!!

Dużo lepiej słychać kontrapunkty i poszczególne głosy niż w nagraniach organowych.

I sometimes think that the only way in which a superior intelligence can communicate with us is through music. It is not omnipotent. It certainly cannot help us. Not only it watches us suffering. It suffers with us. But of course, all what I said is just poetry, what the great loved late Joshua Liebman thought and expressed in his wonderful book Peace of mind (reading recommendation included to you incidental reader of these humble comments).-

No século XXX e XXI fomos/somos acostumados a ouvir músicas do período barroco e clássico com grandes orquestras, algumas delas com até 100 músicos. Ficaram famosas as interpretações "arrasa-quarteirão" da Filarmônica de Berlim (com Herbert von Karajan na regência), os mega-corais da Sinfônica de Londres, para interpretar obras de Händel, como o Côro do Oratório "O Messias". As orquestras estadunidenses seguiam o mesmo padrão. Esse tipo de arranjo, orquestração e regência serviu para diversificar o público ouvinte/apreciador de música clássica, que de outra foram ficaria restrito aos shows de rock e música popular/ligeira. Como não poderia deixar de ser, foi a Inglaterra o país que juntou a música clássica ao rock; várias bandas do chamado "rock progressivo" tinham entre seus integrantes músicos com formação clássica em Conservatório. Daí para arranjos orquestrais/sinfônicos aplicados a suítes progressivas foi um passo. Mas há cerca de duas décadas temos visto músicos, regente e compositores interessados em arranjos mais camerísticos ou para pequenas orquestras, sobretudo para o repertório do período barroco. Em alguns países houve grande proliferação de conjuntos e orquestras com objetivo de fazer uma interpretação històricamente situada, ou seja, com instrumentos de época (ou réplicas perfeitas deles), em ambientes pequenos. Com isso os músicos e regente esperam transmitir aos ouvintes uma sonoridade mais próxima daquela pensada pelos compositores da época. A música de Johann Sebastian Bach (por muitos considerado maior compositor de todos os tempos) soa muito bem com esses pequenos conjuntos e pequenas orquestras. Nesta apresentação todos os músicos e todos os instrumentos (com exceção do cravo, dedicado ao acompanhamento) têm seu momento de protagonismo; e Sébastien Marq sabe quando deve deixar os outros músicos serem os protagonistas. E a captação do som ficou muito boa. Obrigado e parabéns aos músicos e técnicos.

[@claudiopescatore77]

It's a great performance by great musicians. The chosen ensemble of instruments adds brilliance to the organ version. It works the first 5 minutes, say, but then one is left missing the solemnity of the organ version or of the modern symphonic transcriptions (Stokowki or Respighi).

[@thomasdastillung4097]

It lacks the power of bass of the organ on the end. Giving the tragic sense of the passacaille. Matter of choice maybe.

[@Inielboult75018]

Bravo

[@RoiSoleilXIV]

Vraiment très beau! Je dirais seulement que j'aurais ajouté une viole de gambe, ou une violoncelle à la basse, car, à mon avis, le clavecin n'est pas suffisant à bien "remplir" le tutti avec le basson, et donc la basse n'a pas suffisamment de profondeur. Mais ce n'est qu'une opinion personnelle; en tout cas très bien!

[@thomasdastillung4097]

Tout a fait la basse est un peu légère.

[@musiblogdeaula3150]

[@emiliano3926]

Mi è piaciuta tantissimo. Purtroppo c'è chi non condivide questi arrangiamenti. Collocano un opera in un binario morto, senza concedere di svilupparla adattandola, con rispetto s'intende, ad altri strumenti d'espressione musicale. Secondo me, sono schiavi delle caccole sul pentagramma! Ma tutta la musica creata è arte donata a libero sentore per ogni anima.

[@PointyTailofSatan]

The problem with Bach to orchestra transcriptions, is that the transcriber often gets carried away with insane voicing changes in the middle of melodic lines (cough....Webern...Schoenberg...cough); the kind of nonsense that would see you flunk an organ performance exam if you were to do the same thing. The key to Bach orchestral transcriptions is "less is more" and don't interrupt the symmetry. Let the music itself do the talking. As they do here. It's wonderful.
