Bach played on a pipe organ, my favorite thing to hear. So much so I will listen to this while welding at work

[@belvawebb9828]

Pipes with pipes!

[@JohanOstlund187]

All the favorites in one place, awesome! Some major goose bumps right here: 1:58:23

[@seanpeare-M0WSP]

Absolutely amazing. Thank you to all those professional organists who are an inspiration to all of us. The last piece "BWV 478 come sweetest death, come blessed rest and take my hand and gently lead me on", was my first piece I played on the beautiful Chichester Cathedral organ under the guidance of organist Timothy Ravalde. It was also the first time ever in my life that I played a real pipe organ and a cathedral organ at that. Thank you Richard and BIS.

[@friendsofthegreatmissionary]

So happy to see organ shoes! 😎

[@agatazdebska4590]

So breathtaking. It's Johann Sebastian. Simple 💓

Thank you so much for this music Sunday afternoon gift. Must have been much work to put this together. From Gouda (Sint Janskerk - Moreau organ) Holland 😊.

[@f.markvandermey9379]

BWV 545 - Awesome! For me, the pedal is so defined and alive in Richards playing.

[@txcrix9236]

Starting off my Monday at work with this. It's been better than coffee believe it or not!

[@bicyclist2]

I'm so very grateful that I got to hear lots of classical music growing up. Even though I didn't appreciate it at the time. The acoustics are just perfect in a cathedral. This is utterly phenomenal. Everyone listening to this has excellent taste in music. Thank you.

Thanks so much for the countless hours you must have spent on this most amazing video! I would love to know how you superimposed the pedal camera over the score. That is an amazing effect.

Loved this video, especially BWV 565 with the dancing monkey and blindfolded performance. I saw that one live during the marathon and am still impressed. Thanks to all the artists and organ staff that made these recordings possible.😃😹😻👏👏

[@carolynclark1724]

Thank you Richard for putting this lovely Bach video for us. It was nice to re-visit the cathedrals and see the guest organists again. I forgot how beautiful the inside of Arundel Cathedral was especially the pipes and stained glass. Beautiful!You tackled The Wedge beautifully on that organ. 🌷

[@anobserver1982]

The blinded organist doing the Toccata and Fugue in D minor is almost super human, Bravo, such majesty and beauty !

[@beautyinsound]

Haha the blinded organist is me!

[@herrickinman9303]

The organist wasn't "blinded." He was _blindfolded._

[@martym61]

Thanks for this. Love it.

[@jerrymartin79]

Thank you for this absolutely fabulous upload - our Bach favorites, all on amazing organs, amazing performers, and superb audio quality. I am thrilled that you opened with Gloucester - such an exciting sound.

A bit late to the party but boy what a party!! All our favourite organists in one amazing recital. You truly spoil us! Well done, and thanks to all who participated 🎉🎉❤

[@hopelessnerd6677]

Awesome! Bach sure knew how to squeeze the juice out of an organ. I can only imagine the feeling of being able to control a machine the size of a building with a few small levers and making such incredible music.

[@johnhudelson2652]

People.admired.J.S.Bach's.playing. To which he.replied something like; "Nothing to it. You simply move your fingers and your feet to the right places at the right times and.the.organ plays itself."

[@johnhudelson2652]

Bach could also.squeeze the juice out a violin. You look at his partitas and sonatas for unacompanied violin and you can see that only someone who had an intimate knowledge of the violin could.compose such works.

[@theonlymadmac4771]

What a wonderful surprise! You made my day!

[@diannemills5594]

What an epic undertaking Richard. Thank you very much. Wonderful to be able to relisten in the future. By the way pleased you included my favourite. Blessings.

[@drmarcushead9036]

How did I miss Anna Lapwood performing on the BIS Baby? So reassuring to hear that she still plays repertoire despite a lot of popularist pieces in the Albert.

[@judithminzer8097]

Pure enjoyment!!!

Thank You so much, Dear Richard!🔥

So graceful, peaceful, joyful. Ears enjoyed the play Eyes enjoyed the performance by organists. Fantastic.

[@mickey5779]

JS Bach is my favourite composer! I've played a few of these back in my organ days, lol! Tocatta & Fugue in D minor I had memorized, so not surprised you're playing it blindfolded.

[@hazelleacock3867]

Lovely music. On a hot muggy Sunday summer afternoon Thank you ❤

[@davidbjas32]

I have most of these on CD. It is nice to hear them played on another platform

[@robertozugnoni6434]

[@freereed6102]

A wonderful compilation Richard. Great organs, great organists and of course, great music. Thanks for taking the time to put this together.

Ok but the monkey hat is really funny-💀and that person is so impressive for playing that blindfolded and in memory!!

I absolutely love your interpretation of bach’s jig fugue Richard Your technique is so clear and crisp

[@markhurst5064]

Appreciate your amazing talent and hard work and love you show for the music. I heard the gigue fugue once as a teenager at a recital in Denver and had to learn it. It inspired me later to study organ at university and I performed it for one of my recitals. Full circle! To hear it again so masterfully rendered brings back those good memories. Love your work and performances! (Happy Patreon supporter😀 )

What a wonderful channel. You may well use it as a background while you do something else - but as for me - no fear! I am going to be listening intently - as well as watching these wonderful musicians as they perform; playing separate parts with hands on several keyboards with the feet playing their own part! Something to try and take in and j attempt to fully appreciate!

It’s been 7 months since you posted this and I first listened to it, but sometimes I just have an intense inner need for Bach. It’s like he hits one of my internal reset buttons. But then so does Vierne. lol Thank you for doing so much to restore my soul this afternoon. It’s been a few rough days. You are reliably, as always, a blessing.

[@pertjarnstrom1330]

I start thinking....how would I think when I try to find a job like a organist.... More stops - better pipeorgan....No would be other things to check up to, but more stops give better chance to make the music like you will have it. And....what about the education in to to be a organist? What are you learning more than just playing? You would learn a lot of all different parts of the organ and even about all different stops.....And yes, I will listen and enjoy this video later.

[@SingerDrB]

"Organ music - the mighty power of sound" - In the world of music, there is hardly anything that can touch the senses as deeply as majestic organ music. The organ, often referred to as the "queen of instruments", has an incomparable power that resonates in its waves of sound. With its imposing pipes, brought to life by skilled organists, the organ creates an atmosphere that transports us to another world. The impressive presence and diverse sound possibilities of the organ make it the ideal choice for the performance of both sacred and secular music. In churches, it lends a sublime aura to liturgical celebrations, while in concert halls and theaters it impresses audiences with its monumental sounds. Organ music requires not only virtuoso skills, but also a deeply emotional interpretation. Its deep basses and high trebles can express a wide range of feelings, from solemn joy to poignant sadness. This musical gem attracts people from all over the world and proves time and time again that it has a timeless and transformative power. In a hectic world where we are often overwhelmed by the tide of everyday life, organ music reminds us that there is an incomparable power in silence and music that touches our souls and transports us to a world of beauty and contemplation. Experience the majestic power of organ music and let yourself be enchanted by its sounds. GvL - SINGER DR. B... - VIENNA - JAN 21 - 2024

Hat mir gut gefallen👍. Bitte mehr davon!

[@ray-piano9326]

That first Great G Major is utterly awesome.

[@jensnitsche4994]

Welch eine komplexe Leistung des Verstandes ein solches Instrument mit Händen und Füßen perfekt zu bedienen. Es ist wie ein Wunder. Bach hatte wohl auch diese Fähigkeit, aber zugleich hatte er auch diese Musik erschaffen, die uns bis heute in der Seele trifft. Wie ist das möglich? Es wurde ihm nicht gedankt: zu viele Töne, welche die Menschen " verwirreten", so die damalige Kritik und bis heute! Die meisten Zeitgenossen sind definitiv überfordert.

[@leahstouffer6852]

Toccata and Fugue in D minor is my favorite J.S.Bach song so far! It sounds masterful even though it is yet TERRIFYING!!!!!!!
