Markus Wargh - Bach´s Toccata BWV 540

[@dmercado6202]

One of my top-favourite brilliant performances of one of my all-time favourite organ pieces. Bravo Markus! 👏

[@pascalcherrier9803]

Exceptionnel . Merci .

[@crbarny]

Great clarity and definition; balanced selection of stops. A great pleasure to listen.

[@attiliodalcavaliere999]

Anche le fermate, a seconda del tipo di brano, hanno un peso su tutta la composizione. Assolutamente d'accordo!!!

[@lennartbostrom9813]

Marcus - du är helt fantastisk, absolut världsklass. Ut och uppträd i hela vida världen när corona är över!

[@raimundoosorio9970]

Es la tercera versión de esta tocata y fuga 540 de Bach que podido escuchar y disfrutar de principio a fin. La primera, referencial y magistral es la de Michael Murray, la segunda referencial es la de Marie-Claire Alain. Esta tercera versión está muy cerca de las dos anteriores y me parece que Markus Wargh pronto la igualaría o quizás, la superaría y de ser así, espero tener la dicha y fortuna de poder escucharla también. Los mejores parabienes para tí, Markus Wargh y que el Universo te ilumine siempre.

[@jsbfe9395]

Astounding. World class playing.

[@vincentd.centenophd263]

World class? Really? Well, I have to agree!

[@miccko1960]

I'm touched. Beside everything else, that crystal clear, strong, loud bass. Remarcable instrument, too.

[@ollenaktergal902]

Enastående bra! Och inte ett notblad! Otroligt!

[@alejandromosquerasouto6614]

La mas bella toccata del Maestro. Excelente interpretación

[@rorycoker6601]

My favorite version on KZbin. I like the registration, the tempo, and he's PLAYING FROM MEMORY!!!

[@keplergso8369]

I agree, good version. But a professional organist can easily play from memory, especially for classical pieces like this Toccata.

[@Itapirkanmaa2]

@@keplergso8369 Just about everyone at least on KZbin seems to have the sheets in front of them though.

[@dominiquebopp4839]

I agree this is a good version, and I also agree that famous organists play it from memory. I don't know if there is a version on KZbin, but my favorite organist remains Michel Chapuis (who passed 5 years away). His complete recording of Bach's organ work on several famous organs is awesome.

[@malcolmabram2957]

I know this piece well. Superbly played.

[@billmayo1094]

Lovely.

[@havenkraan6654]

bravo

[@am98101]

BRAVO!

[@denismeyer6470]

Superbe interprétation et ce sans partition, bravo, du talent et surtout le plaisir de jouer...

[@giorgiofrezet8979]

Wonderful organ and perfect execution. Very good! Bravo!

[@andrewgreenwood8554]

Absolutely one of the best recordings of this particular Toccata on KZbin. Splendid.

[@jensswales]

best pedal flow ive heard so far..

[@michaelehrat150]

I believe this to be the best recording of this glorious Toccata - masterful!

[@francoisleprince642]

Quelle dynamique au pédalier ! A chaque écoute, j'ai les pieds qui bougent. Merci pour votre interprétation.

[@gunnarbjorck929]

Magnifikt!!!! Säger bara det!!🤗🎹🥰

[@frereM]

This is surely the most masterful performance of the F-major prelude I have ever heard. Bravo!

[@bobbyhendley3084]

Beautiful!

[@garnierfrancis1571]

Absolutely exceptionnal, a great master of pipe organ ; Thank you for posting

[@roumyanapetrova5687]

Absolutely divine...

[@robertpettengill2883]

Agree all the laudatory comments. Aggressive pedal work and articulation really outstanding. Side note: Tony Perkins screams out this tune as he is driving to his destruction in final scene of movie Phaedra (1962).

[@salomeherrera9260]

Wonderful!!!!

[@jozefdesomer1210]

Prachtig !

[@clarkefountain2258]

The only other time I've heard this performed was when a student at my boarding school was rehearsing it on a magnificent and rather small Flentrop organ. I was the only other person in the chapel. Both this and that earlier practice performance were magnificent and inspiring.

[@jdkoozer]

This is the Best I have ever heard of # 540 Registered Correctly Flawless Performance Thank- You .... Magicalpipes

[@jeromek2125]

Not a sheet of music in sight, fabulous performance.

[@beethoven2012]

Bravo!!!!!

素晴らしい❗

Praise be to God our king. Who is fortunate enough to love him?

[@GuillaumeDeslandres]

Superbe. Il y a un vrai discours. L'auditeur est heureux...

[@robertopiccinini2913]

Esecuzione magnifica.

[@williambrightman2760]

Definitely a piece I would love to hear for postlude to mass.

[@VanAllen009]

Great!

[@jeffacker6917]

MARVELOUS organ and marvelous player!

[@filippomaniniweb]

Well done! The right tempo and a wonderful organ timbre 👍

[@JohnOvertonJMBO]

Beautifully played on that amazing Grönlunds organ. Tack!

[@pierluigicastellaneta5487]

Bravo!

[@henk240546]

Mooi !

[@saschaontour1989]

Bemerke er spielt es ohne Noten Grandios da muss man das schon lange spielen Aber ich liebe diese toccata auch immer mehr wieder toll und die Füße fliegen über die Pedale 😃

[@massimodeangelis7770]

Wow

[@larsviklund2753]

Mycket vackert... Lars Viklund Uppsala Sweden and 2023

[@sfopera]

Astonishingly terrific! This Is the finest pedal work of this incredible work I've ever heard.

[@ВладимирОкоренко]

Божественная музыка органная супер органист мира ! ! ! 🙂😀😎😋

[@cammus]

My brain can't cope with such coordenation between hands and legs, this looks simply to tought to achieve.

[@nickschmitt8594]

Resplendent

[@timomikkonen]

De gick ju fint!

[@dandyj1]

Wow! Some of the best pedal work I've ever seen. What happened to his version of BWV 532 (Fugue in D Major). It's disappeared from youtube.

[@GZ9090]

Looks a bit like (a mid 90s) Elton John. Excellent registration and performance. Bravo!

[@robertgift]

Great view showing manuals and pedal! Wonderful, energetic tempo! 5:20 Why no trill on pedal G# and no trill on pedal F# at 6:34 ?

[@epiccamper]

Perhaps the answer is the same as why there were no further trills in toxiconegro's video of BWV 548.

[@santiagolillo278]

Siempre que oigo órgano, me evoca y me imagino La Magdalena un Jueves Santo cubierta la cara, preparándome para hacer estación de Penitencia acompañando al Misterio de la Quinta Angustia

[@marcowunnenberg2239]

Hallo,wie lange,benötigt man, was das Üben dieses Werkes angeht,bis man es einmal so spielerisch umsetzen kann...?? Vergehen da WOCHEN...MONATE..?? LG.M.

[@robertlindberg1027]

LYSANDE!

[@Vindebyvej]

Name of organ builder and where the organ is situated....thanks.

[@smllmp]

vindebyvej The Organ builder is Grönlunds orgelbyggeri in Gammelstad outside Luleå in the north of Sweden. The organ is located in Luleå cathedral. Grönlunds are to my knowledge one of the top organ builders in Sweden at least, and also built the organ in the concert hall in Stockholm (where the Nobel dinner and celebration is held).

[@williambrightman2760]

Has Gronlunds built any organs in the United States?

[@hannesholmborg4769]

@@williambrightman2760 i am not sure but I think that Ive heard about there being one or 2 but I might be wrong

[@EwicoCylinder]

Ah my ears, that Zimbel-Mixture

[@pobinr]

Big growly organ like it's heavy metal or something. Shame i prefer smaller organs

[@Itapirkanmaa2]

At least Finnish and Swedish churches tend to build large organs, as they have to right to tax their members off their paychecks.

[@jerry1963ish]

Beautifully played! One of my favorite organ pieces and every time I hear it played it sends chills of excitement up and down my spine!
