Passacaglia (BWV 582) - J.S. Bach | Jos van der Kooy

[@hansvanderveen4569]

Sehr schön gespielt. Herzliche Gratulation. Die Kirchenorgel ist und bleibt das majestätischste Musikinstrument aller Musikinstrumente, somit die Königin ALLER Musikinstrumente. Hoch lebe Johann Sebastian BACH. Grüße aus der Rattenfängerstadt Hameln an der Weser Hans van der VEEN

Eine der besten und schönsten Interpretationen. Tolle Registrierung!!

[@giovannitestore1845]

Acustica eccellente. Esecuzione ineccepibile. Bravoooooooooooo 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@caseyfan1184]

Love the calm, modest exposition of the theme. Now my favourite rendition of this awe-inspiring piece.

[@peteacher52]

IMO the greatest piece of organ music ever written, here played on an instrument that is a Dutch national treasure, by a man who is one of his country's elite musicians. Bravo!!

[@xbqchm]

The greatest piece of organ music - written for harpsichord.

[@Hwyadylaw]

@@xbqchm What makes you think that? Sure, it's not impossible, but the evidence points to it being composed for the organ

[@haldentoyorganist3896]

@@xbqchm Especially since the sources we have all indicate "pro organo pleno" Definitely harpsichord music...

Magnificent performance of my favourite organ piece!

[@MrUseur]

Der Klang der Orgel ist ganz besonders majestätisch und festlich. Herrlich. Passt sehr gut zu diesem Stück.

[@chrisantoniou4366]

Excellent performance overall but the fugue was virtually perfect. Well done!

[@giuliokw1]

Bach live every day through his Music.

[@sfopera]

This is a much more interesting performance of this great work than others I've heard on the Westerkerk organ. It's a very Dutch approach, refined but powerful.

[@TheGloryofMusic]

I'd say it's a more Pennsylvania Dutch approach.

[@keithhill9901]

According to F. Griepenkerl in a letter written when he was an old man: "Bach himself, his sons, and Forkel played the masterpieces with such a profound declamation that they sounded like polyphonic songs sung by individual great artist singers. Thereby, all means of good singing were brought into use. No Cercare, no portamento was missing. Even breathing was in all the right places. Bach's music wants to be sung with the maximum of art."

[@Maurizio9016]

Very fine organ voices. Well played, indeed. A passionate performance, technically accurate. I also like the choice to have assistants changing registers according to the sheet. Very good. Very good. Mr.van der Kooy, I salute you as a great performer.

[@peterwatchorn411]

An exquisite performance and wonderful video production of this sublime work. Many thanks to all those involved..

[@GilbertoGuarino]

Splendid performance. IMHO one of the best recordings I ever heard in the Westerkerk. Besides, the almost "detachée" articulation has produced a transparent BWV 582, considering the tricky echoe that could otherwise have blurred the sound produced by this gorgeous organ.

[@marcozanetti9070]

Concordo pienamente: oltre alla scelta della registrazione e del tempo di esecuzione.

[@twillert-organ-projects]

Mooie productie en mooi gespeeld en fijn dat er tussen de variaties is gekozen om van klank te wisselen, maakt het geheel nog interessanter naar mijn mening.

[@janmc.mulder]

Bach zelf zou na deze vertolking van dit meesterstuk aan Jos een staande ovatie hebben gegeven! Chapeau!

[@charlottewhyte9804]

Wonderful performance!

[@michalgeppert5373]

I forgot how I like this one... The best Bach's Passacaglia 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I like Mr. Koopman's interpretation the most, but this will be my second one :D Beautiful registration!

[@jamspoon59]

Much prefer this interpretation, letting the music sing and breathe rather than masking it with 'ornamentation'. this is glorious!

[@marcowunnenberg2239]

Very nice....Thanks

[@martinwiersema5044]

Prachtig 👍

[@oludotunjohnshowemimo434]

Bach liked this theme and decided to improvise on it or he was challenged to do so. Nice use of the Vox Celeste stop

[@Steinbach1984]

Mooi gespeeld, al ben ik het een tikje sneller gewend. Eerlijk gezegd zou ik vanaf het begin alles open gooien (d.w.z. als ik dit stuk kon spelen) en de hele boel omverblazen, maar ik geef toe dat deze aanpak een stuk subtieler is en meer recht doet aan het unieke karakter van het orgel.

Ja, de 'geloofsbelijdenis' van elke organist.

[@kross9130]

Great recording, very nice acoustic, top-notch performance of my all-time favorite organ work. On a strictly aesthetic note, this is a weird organ. Clearly a "tracker" but I've not seen the coupler on the bottom manual before (it may not be all that rare; I've just never seen it), the pipework, with the exact architectural match to the nave and the gold trim & inlays, is a work of art in itself, but they cover it behind doors, and finally (this one I like) the "backwards" colored keys on the manuals. Again, all aesthetic anomalies - the organ sounds great and so is the performance.

[@jordanesewals]

And paintings of Gerard de Lairesse

[@xbqchm]

This is a standard baroque organ, nothing weird about it.

[@gammafoxlore2981]

This was once the standard.

[@thesceptic1018]

The doors are (only) one of the great glories of this instrument you wing-nut

[@hdrenginedevelopment7507]

Flat pedal board and reverse color keys is in the true Baroque style.

[@konstantinosspantidakis5678]

Excellente interpretation, mais la manière post-moderne de filmer nous interdisait de voir le jeu de l'artiste.

[@bladedspokes]

Is he chewing gum?

[@nickdouglass421]

Must admit I wondered that too!!

[@borismozzo1467]

Very similar to Karl Richter's one, and not my favourite version... Hans Stamm's version is the best one to me...

[@nickdouglass421]

I love Stamm's version too but my favourite SO FAR is that of Albrecht Koch on the wonderful Baroque instrument of Freiberg Cathedral, Germany. Also here on KZbin.
