Essere il successsore del Kantor J.S. Bach, suonare su un organo nella stessa chiesa in cui operò per più di vent'anni le sue melodie con uno stile così piacevole! La ringrazio e un po' la invidio Herr Bohme e vorrei un giorno almeno visitare la chiesa di S. Tommaso, ascoltare dal vivo una sua performance e posare per un attimo le mani sullo strumento per trarne una semplice melodia bachiana

Hi, hope this isn't too intrusive, but if you are searching for God, He's already there. God lovingly sent his son Jesus to sacrifice his life for your sins so that you could be saved and enter into a relationship with God. All you have to do is to accept Jesus into your heart and life as your lord and savior. God is waiting.

Bach wrote it all for the glory of God.

+John Smith - Bach thought otherwise. Denying the intangible does suggest that that which is not observable in the everyday three dimensions also does not exist.

Not everything that is unseen, exists. If there is a God - and no objective observation requires one - the next question is, "Which one(s) is (are) genuine"? When you can disprove the existence of Ganesh, come back to me.

I like organ music.

Here I was last summer in he Bachfest hearing a wonderfull organ concert. I love Bach!

[@WordsPerMinute]

Sweet organ. Bach unlocks the logic/math/programming side of my brain. But as a Christian the magnificence of God are illustrated in 250 year old musical notes to the point that it brings a tear to my eyes. Let your passion for God be unlocked by JS Bach. (Wish I was custodian at that church for just a couple of years.) I didn't realize this was a live event. Usually somebody in the audience has a crude un-stifled death-defying coughing fit. Congrats on the good health and decency of the audience.

John W Duke Thank you very much for the information. I am just getting used to KZbin.

[@lokmanmerican6889]

A marvelous performance. And the organ sounds exceptionally good. So many organ recordings (it seems to me) are marred by sound so gloriously overpowering, it can be a little hard to hear what is actually being played. Not this one. Instead of an massive flood of sound, what we hear is a reminder of Bach's overwhelming achievement. Thanks for uploading.

[@wakkowarner4288]

Wow this thing barks! 32' bourdon?! 32' trombone? I wish I could hear this in person! The cabinet is so minimal, so classy, and the Bach seal in the middle of the facade is the cherry on top. Superb. The finest "thank you" Bach's church could offer him.The sound is dry and tight, no slop. Bach would've loved it. Before I die, I must visit the Thomaskiche, hear this instrument, and leave flowers and a piece of music paper saying "Großes Danke , Herr Bach" on his grave. His music has helped me retain and regain my sanity since I discovered his music in my early teens. I still can't play it for shit tho... he makes it sound so easy... "just hit the right notes at the right times." Yeah! Sure! =o)

[@danawinsor1380]

Your comments are very interesting. BTW, what do you mean by "slop." This is not a challenge --- as a non-organist I would like to know.

[@wakkowarner4288]

@@danawinsor1380 "slop" is my word for when there's too much reverb, or the sound is too polished. Too lush? I like the opposite -- a dry sound.

[@johnbozzola4767]

I enjoyed the tempo of the first piece (BWV 565), as well as the tuning of the organ. Both are not the "usual" for this well known work, so it was refreshing to hear. Even the little embellishments slipped in here and there were a pleasant surprise. Ullrich Bohme seems so relaxed and confident in this playing and the camera work was excellent. Well done in all areas. Thanks for sharing this piece.

[@kennethcarrizal9871]

Bach was a show off and played fast. The Chorton pitch and the Neidhardt temperment were "usual" for when Bach played it.

After reading the comments below, it is obvious that you just can not please some people no matter how good it sounds and how much work you have put into it. Ignore the naysayers. Bach would be proud to hear this and know his music lives on. the written music is a guideline that can be improved on. Was J. S perfect? Was he a God? Vive la difference.

[@AML2000]

All the organs that Bach might have played on in the St. Thomas Church were already gone by the end of the 18th century. The main organ in the the church is a romantic organ installed 1885-1889 and is unsuited for playing Bach. For that reason they installed a second organ in the church in 2000 (the one being played here) that is built to resemble a baroque organ of Bach's day. It is unequally tempered and can by shifted from chamber to church pitch easily by a lever.

[@rodrigocamargo8400]

Hello there! Are you saying all original organs Bach played were discarded? That is sad...

[@AML2000]

AML2000 Just to augment my comment. Bach wasn't employed in Leipzig as an organist, but as the Kantor of the St. Thomas Choir School and city Kappelmeister. That doesn't mean that he didn't play the organ in this church, just that it wasn't his regular job. He was employed as the organist by the Duke of Saxe-Weimar, but the organ he played there went up in smoke along with the palace in the late 18th century!. The organ he played in Arnstadt still seems to be there thought.

[@121cornwall]

AML2000 m M Thank

[@josephgraif2588]

"unsuited". do you also believe that the violin and cello partitas should be performed using baroque viols with slack bows? both joshua bell and yo yo ma would laugh at you. why are those instruments allowed to evolve and not the organ?

[@TedATL1]

AML2000 Are you certain the 19C organ survived WW2? To my knowledge, this church incurred catastrophic damage. I wouldn’t be surprised if the “Romantic” organ in the church is a partial or total reconstruction. It’s not always easy to get clear info on how much this or that German church was reconstructed.

[@cadoganwest6768]

This is not a "Bach organ", it is a modern realisation based on some specifications Bach made. It was completed by 2000. If he had this monster with all its stops he would have written stuff like Bruckner. Most organs Bach had are to be found around Erfurt, Muhlhausen etc, they were much simpler. A witness commented when Bach was commissioning an organ that he selected the oddest registration combinations, but they actually worked!

[@karlrovey]

cadogan west It is called the "Bach Organ" because it was designed for playing Bach's music. He occassionally had access to some rather large instruments such as the instruments of the Marienkirche in Lübeck when he travelled to see Buxtehude. This instrument is built in that style.

[@ronwalker4849]

The prelude and fugue in F major is absolutely spectacular except the use of staccato touch everywhere denies the harmonic connections which are different. Some should be staccato and some should be linked by connections. There should be a slight pause on each of the HIGH NOTES before descending with the following chords. A slight delay in the speed of the music but a relief to the ear and mind. It is like looking at someone´s face longer than you might look at their shoes.

[@HugsBach]

Excellent spread of J. S. Bach. I am so moved to listen to his, and his son's compositions. The Holy Trinity represented by hands and feet, on harmony. The up beat messages to give us hope and joy in God's words and since music requires no language, all Nations can join in the prayers and joy of God's love...something that today's hate via Satanism is trying to wrestle away from us in these times, imho. Talented people who can play Bach are the gatekeepers of God's music and encouragement. IMHO
