Matthias Havinga plays J.S.Bach - Fantasia and Fugue BWV 537 - 1/2

[@annafalcone6530]

Splendida esecuzione.!

[@eleanormorse8572]

This Fantasia is one of the most beautiful organ works Bach ever wrote. You played it so wonderfully. Every note mattered and spoke.

[@mathieuf8572]

De toute beauté. Quelle expressivité ! Bravo et merci pour ce superbe moment.

I have watched and listened to many of Matthias’ videos in recent times. Bach and your interpretation of his works had been a companion during the troubled times we have been living through.

[@michaelmartens7728]

Danke, Matthias, für die vielen Anregungen, alles nochmals zu durchhören, zu überdenken, nachzufühlen.

[@oliviermoser9788]

It draws me to tears.

[@mikezinn7212]

What a magnificent work.....each part embracing the next with such exquisite, quiet, sublime and profound emotion.

[@elethrin]

Thank you, mr. organist. You make this old masterpiece come to life and touch hearts over the span of centuries - Timeless in truth, and a proof of the finest musicianship.

Merveilleuse interprétation Matthias. C'est très agréable de vous écouter.

[@r.a.vanderhilst3019]

Beautifully played!

Wonderful playing , thank you for posting

[@michaelmartens7728]

Sehr schön vokal registriert - beide Praestanten gemeinsam verleihen den Einzelstimmen Lebendigkeit und gute Durchhörbarkeit, adäquat gespielt wie eine vom Ensemble gesungene Motette. Wenn man jeder Stimme "historisch informiert" die ihr eigene Artikulation gibt und die musikalisch-rhetorischen Figuren herausarbeitet, wird die Fantasia komplex und schwierig zu interpretieren, aber der Aufwand lohnt sich: die Polyphonie gewinnt wie hier enorm an Plastizität!

Beautiful, but also excruciatingly sad ...

[@carlogiuseppecapra3260]

cosa dire ..... solamente eccezionale . bello. che musicalità!! grandioso!!! fraseggio, articolazione , meraviglioso . complimenti

[@seanmarshall7529]

completamente d'accordo!

[@leoje1524]

Beautiful music. Beautifully executed. It would be great to have the explanation of a teacher to understand it better. Organ, the King of musical instruments. Thank you.

[@seanmarshall7529]

just lay back and let the music come to you.. there is no better teacher of music than your soul!

Jhr. Humphrey: Beautiful/Great.

[@harryjoseph1802]

What human activity can rival that of an organist? Juggling with 10 fingers and two feet! For those that categorize Bach's music pedantic here's something that wrings your heart. Sheer pathos!

[@voceumana]

Beautifully played, thank you. But where is the Fugue?

[@MatthiasHavingaOrganist]

Will come soon!

[@russedav5]

Among the greatest recordings of this.

[@russedav5]

The continuously ascending scalework of the Fugue is so exhilarating!

[@seanmarshall7529]

I wonder why so many organs have the first low C soooo miss-tuned

[@cojo3927]

Ik geloof dat het Bartje was; moeder huilde, maar het was toch heel mooi.

[@albertmigeot9457]

Jean Guillou, Michel Chapis, Marie-Claire Alain, Karl Richter jouaient sans partition...

[@MatthiasHavingaOrganist]
