A brilliant interpretation of the "Wedge"! The fast sections in the fugue are electrifying -- perfect, clear, and fast but not over-the-top too fast -- surely as Bach might have imagined them. The whole fugue flows forward to the end with a steady, inexorable motion, total clarity, and consistently excellent articulations, but with those subtle acknowledgements of points of arrival along the way that distinguish the very best players. Thank you, Christophe. Bravo!

orglet, I am sorry for my inadequate English. orglet, quote about the fugue: " - surely as Bach might have imagined them." Peter Williams, "The Organ Music of J. S. Bach" page 163: "Autograph MS P 174 (prelude and first twenty bars of the fugue; the rest copied by J. P. Kellner?) My guess - Bach did not compose the fugue. The "wedge" don't sounds like Bach, it sounds "unbachian."

En plus de la superbe interprétation de ce monument de Bach par Christophe Mantoux je souhaite évoquer la grande qualité des vidéos publiées par Vincent Hildebrandt. En effet, à la prise de son toujours excellente, il faut ajouter le soin des cadrages qui permettent d'avoir l'interprète, les claviers, la partition et les registres ainsi que l'indispensable vue du pédalier ; et aussi une vue d'ensemble de l'instrument. On se retrouve, en bon organophile , soit à la console, soit dans la nef , pour notre plus grand plaisir. Merci Vincent.

One of the most beautiful Bach's P&F, a real firework ! Pure beauty !! Ant this organ sounds marvellously, with a very good phrasing of the player ! Good tempi too, not too fast neither too slow. Excellent interpretation (performance) of this masterpiece ! One thing : why the same registration everywhere, even between the Prelude and the Fugue, it is a bit boring, it is a pity.

Je suis du même avis, cf mes commentaires. Excellente prestation techniquement parlant, mais en effet aucun changement de registre, que ce soit dans le Prélude et la Fugue, et entre les deux. De même que le jeu exclusivement détaché/louré à la Pédale me lasse un peu, dû à l'utilisation quasi exclusive des pointes. Ici c'est typiquement le jeu « authentique » baroque à l'allemande qui est pris comme référence, et cela me gêne un peu, cela finit par être un peu lassant de n'avoir aucune nuance, aucun plan sonore différent d'un bout à l'autre ! Bien la peine d'avoir 50 jeux et 4 claviers à disposition !

1. I miss the ripieno-concertino answer in the preludium. This preludium is a baroque concerto grosso. Imagine a baroque band: would everyone always play? Ripieno: 0.00-02.24, concertino: 02.24-02.46 ripieno: 02.46-02.52 concertino: 02.52-03.13 ripieno: 3.13-4.13 concertino: 4.13-4-23 ripieno: 4.23-5.21 concertino: 5.21-5.48 ripieno: 5.48 to the end . The concertino part is clearly a different musical material rhythmically, motivically, structurally. Why is that played with the same tone, the same dynamics, the same articulation? 2. Every two quarters, the organist slows down the music process, where the pedal makes octave steps (the feeling is the same as if one were listening to Debussy: En bateau - pull the oar). This kind of articulation can be seen in his exercise as he bends forward in every two quarters: 0: 08-0: 20; 3.47-4.17 this latter part is more terrible). Again, imagine a baroque chamber orchestra slowing down uniformly every two quarters. The above two points are very fashionable among organists today: they honk the whole piece in the same manual (on the "Hauptwerk") and are constantly slowed down. The interesting is that there is no such fashion for pianists. They don’t slow down constantly, and they play the secondary theme differently than the first theme. The same is true in the fugue: it consists of well-separable opposing musical material: material 1: 6.36-8.22; material 2: 8.22-8.40 These two musical materials are completely different. These two substances alternate several times in the fugue. Why play the same way? Imagine an orchestra: if everyone always plays everything it’s terribly boring. The organ is multitude of instruments, a complete orchestra. Where is the orchestration? Here is a recording of this work by Jiri Reinberger the famous Czech organist. He consistently plays ripieno and concertino and different musical materials differently: on a different manual, with a different registration, with a different articulation, he dosn't make faltering in the playing: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWnVmaKdecd-aqM But not just him, but every organist 30 years ago. Bach registered so variably that there were always two assistants standing next to him who switched the registers.

I know what this is about... It's just those people who start listening to classical music through romantic composers because of their dramatic and emotive pieces, and then think all the rest isn't good. Honestly, you may not like how the robust chords resonate from the organ, or maybe you just don't like baroque music at all, and it's completely fine. But if you think you have enough musical background to say Bach's pieces are "only noise" or "not one surprising harmony" then you need to study more. If it wasn't for Bach and his works, your beloved romantic composers wouldn't even compose. His melodies are simple because he just wanted to study the properties of harmony, while romantic pieces were made mostly to impress the public. If this is your only criterion... Pity

Dave Barclay , Compare polyphony by Bach to polyphony by Gustav Mahler and you will see what i mean. Bach is dry theoretical, Mahler is passion.
