JS Bach Fugue in G minor BWV 542 - Organist - David Hinitt

[@bcstechnologylimited896]

Came to see the socks, stayed to listen to the music!

[@oludotunjohnshowemimo434]

Bach's ability to improvise on themes, is second to none. He indeed is the greatest composer that has ever lived.

[@calciumchannel]

got so many likes for socks for sure

[@marieclairemormile1122]

Un jour peut être aurais je le privilège de pouvoir regarder de la haut un organiste ....il y en a tellement d 'extraordinaires .j'ai commencé à aimer cet instrument avec la célèbre MARIE CLAIRE. aLAIN accompagnant le talentueux MAURICE ANDRE

[@janicius]

In my opinion it is one of the best performances of this fuge. It has an ideal balance between opus, performer, instrument, interpretation, space and last but not least sound.

[@rogernichols1124]

Dazzling interpretation. The energy behind this performance never flags and the counterpoint remains crystal-clear thanks to the technical competence of Mr Hinitt, the registration and an acoustic that never swallows the sound. The instrument is a priceless musical gem.

[@chrisfeild]

Mesmerizing to listen to. I love everything about this piece and performance--and the fluorescent blue striped socks are a visual bonus to show the masterful pedal work!

[@Kbbrianne]

I like that he's doing it in his socks. that makes me irrationally happy.

[@jamesgibson2179]

Yes, but he’s got a hole in toe ! ......just kiddin’ !

[@PointyTailofSatan]

@@jamesgibson2179 I have a running joke with the priest at the church where I play. A monthly sock allowance.

[@zacharybond23]

A beautiful fugue played by a master. What a lovely way to start the day!

[@jejerry535]

Pieds nus à la Rhoda Scott ! Plaisant à écouter et à voir aussi.

[@CorradoCameroni-tn9ju]

😊❤ Splendida musica...non male anche l'organista... Mhmmm 🌈🌈🌈😉

[@sfopera]

I agree the socks alone make this worthwhile! Oh, and it's also utterly brilliant.

[@kubo648]

I love how clearly you can hear the bass line, mesmerizing!

[@hudebnilidlprodukce5137]

True man has no shoes.

[@rhinitt]

Nice playing! And cool socks ;-)

[@Vince_uk]

Fabulous one of the best performances I have every witnessed.

[@therainforest4314]

All the way back to my early childhood I have been utterly smitten by this particular piece, although I have always loved everything Bach.

[@Tubatoofpaste]

I'm just here for the striped blue socks

[@mysticow1553]

Bonne job!

[@Calvadoslash]

You need to come and play this on the Cavaille-Coll organ at St Ouen in Rouen. One of the finest instruments on the planet.

[@MrRexroy]

just overwhelming, thx for sharing!!

[@JeffWindoloski]

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant playing! Perfect organ for this piece too. Soli Deo Gloria ☺

[@jermainebrixton7559]

I know it is pretty off topic but do anybody know a good place to stream newly released series online?

[@laynekeagan1605]

@Jermaine Brixton lately I have been using Flixzone. Just google for it =)

[@jaimevarelarodriguez6444]

ESPECTACULAR, QUE GRAN INTERPRETACIÓN LA MEJOR DE TODAS LAS QUE VI, LA LIMPIEZA ES ABSOLUTA, EL SONIDO GENIAL, GRAN ORGANISTA MI NOTA ES UN DIEZ

[@paulbrookes6705]

I have heard this and sometimes player muddy the fuge but not this guy no just pure clarity of sound.

[@marieclairemormile1122]

Interprétation somptueuse..et en plus sans chaussures .on l ecouterait des heures entières ce DAVID. Merci pour ces moments de plaisir intense

[@ianwatson3393]

This is a fine clean and clear performance - thanks also to a building with not too resonant an acoustic. I have a feeling, though, that it is nevertheless a bit "relentless". Bach's music is capable of having some subtle phrasing and variation of registration (he must, surely, have had stop-pulling assistants) to provide colour contrast and life-giving breathing spaces. It doesn't have to be continuously 'legato'.

[@josephbrandtner7713]

I love that you play in you socks! With age and circulatory issues, my feet have swollen to where I can't play with shoes anymore. Socks looks better than my bare feet!

[@ttwiligh7]

Beautiful... just beautiful. This piece is miracle of the world. Excellent performance. Feel so good. Thank you.

[@fortissimo49]

A performance as brilliant as your socks. Good to know there are other organists who remove their shoes to play. I've been chastised for doing so on many an occasion. Fantastic, bright tone from an amazing organ.

[@therainforest4314]

I couldn't agree more. And where the foot-ware is concerned, I too believe that ought to be up to the organist, some some purist with a stick up their behind. :)

[@kubo648]

Exactly, whatever works for each person. I personally use shoes but that's just a matter of preference.

[@danielschechter8130]

Great socks! Oh, and a wonderful performance also. Thanks for this.

[@iansdigby]

Stagger8ngly good!

[@josedacunhafilho]

I cannot imagine the feeling one gets from producing this music. I know I will say the ululatingly obvious, but all instruments make a sound thart is "near you" the player, except the organ that sounds as if the music comes from the heavens.

[@schrysafis]

This sounds so good! Really good job to Mr. Hinitt.

[@Ferien7]

Probably one of the best performances of this I've heard. Easily on par with Koopman.

[@karstenbiastoch2606]

Very nice, a dream of harmony and peace 🌺🎶...Bach

[@jdheavystorm]

I love it. So spectacular. Really good job.

[@dmoore855]

Brilliant playing and I love the socks. The Tempo is so invigorating!

[@daanmollema6366]

Sounds bloody awesome mate hinitt

[@bzeliotis]

Great sound. (even if played with magic iridescent socks)

[@Stichting_NoFa-p]

Finally someone who adds the lower bass.

[@jamesgibson2179]

How erudite !

[@PointyTailofSatan]

I ALWAYS play in my socks. It's kinda weird, but I like feeling my way around the pedals that way. Makes it a little harder doing heel and toe though.

[@soulechene]

Interprétation magistrale! très bon orgue et très bon organiste.

[@nimamoshfegh]

You are a Star

[@MrFossil367ab45gfyth]

I like the opening sequence. Nice job! I like organ music. What got me into organ music was Bach and church music as well.

[@georgeleermakers7467]

. Your playing is Wonderful. Merci.

[@scottalbers2518]

Truly gorgeous. Absolutely fantastic.

[@mewsdo]

British sewing machines are the best.

[@petehelme7714]

I'm assuming David did the recording of this as well as he's an excellent audio engineer. :)

[@raimundoosorio9970]

Hola David. Muy buena tu digitalización, precisa, justa en su medida. Una interpretación ecléctica que me trajo recuerdos de insigne organista Marie Claire Alain. Felicitaciones!

[@danielehekimian1352]

Beautiful masterpiece, beautifully played!

[@jaimevarelarodriguez6444]

Felicidades

[@SuperLQQK]

well, that was awesome.

[@stephenwallace2748]

Wow. Very well done!!!!!!!!!!!

[@yancon.n.1519]

Nice socks!

Beautiful !

feet would slip off pedals without shoes,I was always told.

[@catenazz]

magnifico

[@jacquesfoche9696]

...bach...you made my life...❤

[@Npvsp]

LOVE THIS. Perfect, PERFECT. just one word. And the "minor" final? PERFECT!!! That should have been the real final, MINOR. Please please please upload the Prelude too!!! PLEEEEASEE!!!!

[@colindunn7583]

I agree. We need the preceding fantasia

[@thereyougoagain1280]

@@colindunn7583 it’s questionable whether Bach himself intended for the fantasia and fugue to be associated with each other. They may have been composed entirely independent from each other.

[@paulcaswell2813]

So true. A fugue without its prelude is a lost soul...

[@GiuseppeRusso58]

Bravissimo!

[@johnsilverton639]

I could no more pedal in shoes than play the keys in thick gloves. I am unable to understand how people can pedal in shoes.

[@Offshoreorganbuilder]

Conversely, when ever I try playing in socks, I find it painful experience, rather like walking on concrete without shoes. Each to his own.

[@Offshoreorganbuilder]

A thrilling performance, Many thanks. (Is the Tierce de Picardie on the final chord optional?)

[@vassmo]

how many days did it take for him to train

[@ewennlesergent3625]

Très belle prestation, les ornements sont très élégants mais la trompette du pédalier arrive à mon goût trop tôt... Et dans les débuts est trop en dehors du thème. Mais ce n'est qu'un avis... Cependant j'ai un faible pour tonn koopman pour son style phantasticus et qui s'inscrit vraiment dans l'histoire de la fantaisie si tourmentée et pour cause, et celle de yann Willem Jansen sur l'orgue des Augustins de Toulouse, si belle et pleine d'espoir malgré le drame que Bach venait de vivre... Bravo pour avoir su capter mon intérêt.... Connaissez vous la partition version de Louis Vierne qui est légèrement différente dans certaines mesure mais je n'arrive pas à savoir de quel manuscrit il s'est inspiré......

[@sethhensel8441]

I have those socks........do not have that skill. Note that all that music happens inside of 51 notes on the manuals

[@plasticraincoat1]

Lovely playing and camera work! But you will seriously regret playing in your socks. I recked my metatarsals. Use shoes 👞 always or you will not be able to walk down stairs eventually.

[@angryjalapeno]

What's the rush? At this speed with absolutely no detectable variation in the tempo of any note except at the end it sounds like a computer is playing it.

[@k364k364]

In the year 6565, the Aliens arrive to sterilize the Earth so that it can be used for Gngsnrfff production. The human cry "Wait!, watch this video and you will see that we can accomplish amazing things!". The Aliens watch, and when it finishes they say - "You are correct and will be spared. Those socks ARE amazing"

[@termoherd]

A qué hora sale el fantasma, ok ya me voy.

[@EduardQualls]

Well, I liked this until the final measures, when he played past the fermata, while ignoring the tierce de Picardie (both present in the urtext), and seemed just to run off the page. Odd that he played the other accidentals, but ignored the final one.

[@SirReginaldBlomfield1234]

Hmmm.. Didn't work for me either.

[@geiryvindeskeland7208]

EduardQualls, unfortunately, no urtext exists. Most organ compositions by Bach are known only through transcripts made by others.

[@thereyougoagain1280]

Why does he end on G minor? Shouldn’t it be G major?

[@fossosejore]

the final is major, not minor!

[@class87srule]

The score naturalises the Bb and the F is correctly sharpened as the leading note so defiinitely IS major.

[@ewennlesergent3625]

non cela dépend de l'édition et de l'urtext.....Pourquoi être aussi péremptoire? l'œuvre est magnifiquement interprétée

[@Anto-vq2jr]

il finale dio crsito lo ha sbagliato è minore non in maggiore,i trilli sono messi in punti sbagliati,non c'è traccia di interpretazione e poi un organista che suona un brano di questi livelli si presume che studi organo da anni e un organista che studia l'organo da più di 3 anni non ha più bisogno dei clazini per i pedali ma potrebbe anche sforzarsi di indossare delle scarpe adatte anche per il video e basta
