Toccata "dorica" BWV 538 J.S. Bach

www.donabbondio... - J. S. Bach - Toccata "dorica" BWV 538 - Landsberg am Lech - Germania - organo Siegfried Schmid - organista Luciano Zecca.

[@AlfredoAnzalone-n9t]

Senza la musica di Bach non si riuscirebbe a svelare quel mistero di cui ne avvolgiamo l'esistenza.

[@federicopellegrini1483]

Parole sante. In 2 righe hai riassunto tutto. Chapeau.

[@nicolen.9642]

Absolutely. Bach had a powerful sense of the unfathomable nature of life.

[@zimnaya]

I return every time to Maestro Zecca's performance of the Dorian which is unparalleled for majesty, for crispness, clarity and absolute conviction. Bach himself would have been in admiration of this man. Mille ringraziamenti

[@johnrickert5572]

An astounding feat of human brain power: The memory of all notes The dexterity in 10 fingers The coordination of 2 hands and 2 feet All together, amazing human talent.

[@ildanny80]

Although this is a very good rendition, it's not so uncommon to properly use our limbs :o)

[@thedolphin5428]

@@ildanny80 Mate, this is an EXTREMELY UNCOMMON display of conglomerate neurological prowess -- memory, timing, auditory feedback, hand to eye coordination, finger manipulation. It os like whole-body chess!. Most people have trouble driving well -- two hands on the wheel, one or two feet on the peddles, watching the road in front. Then add texting ... and they crash.

[@ildanny80]

@@thedolphin5428 I didn't want to belittle his skills. Mine was a semi-serious comment. But we shouldn't be surprised that we can achieve these abilities. A little bit is talent, of curse, but mostly is training, training and training. I think I could play the hand part of this piece decently, with a lot of work, there are much more challenging piano pieces. I think about Chopin Op. 10 N.4 or List's "La Campanella" and similar. I never played with feet though. If you wonder about how good he is, think about the guy who wrote the piece ;o)

[@thedolphin5428]

@@ildanny80 Well, I also look at people like jazz drummers. Two arns, two legs, the best of them playing 4 cross rhythms, maybe in different time sigs! Such brain dislocation I find extraordinary. So a multi register organ, at speed, no music, 10 fingers, 2 feet is all such a biological mind feat. And yes, composers are mind blowing too. Although, I also find great improv (on any instrument) a pretty amazing thing too.

[@charlesdavis7087]

That's what intrigued me as well, namely, is was so "perfect." I called it "definitive." Sets the standard... and here comes Cameron C.... with light, color and video. Deo de Maximus.

[@JKGaming1414]

What one likes is subjective, but if we are talking about the "most perfect" version... I would say Karl Richter wins, easily. Especially regarding accuracy at 1:44. Looking at the sheet, that high trill part is supposed to last longer, exactly how Karl Richter plays it ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGetaJZohMd0pZY ). Of course it's much harder like this, having to play 2 different things with the right hand for a long time. (that's how it looks like to me, a simple organ-lover, at least) Since I've heard the version I linked, I can't not notice the little "cheating" many other organists do at the part I mentioned.

anche tra i più famosi organisti difficilmente ho ascoltato un'esecuzione (ma anche tutte le altre che sono su KZbin del M° Zecca) di una chiarezza adamantina applicata ad ogni nota suonata. E' stato veramente un gran piacere vederla e ascoltarla quando suona Bach, per me, malato dell'organo che non vuol guarire. Grazie dal mio cuore (è dire poco) Maestro Luciano Zecca!!!

[@Starsister725]

THIS IS INDEED GOD’s MUSIC! Masterful playing

[@mountainsong100]

Additionally, I would venture to say that every single note of this Dorian Toccata is fingered as well as the pedal. Nothing was left to chance. It's the German way. Nothing is left to chance...How refreshing to see and hear.

[@mountainsong100]

Don't take me wrong. I studied in the German method at Oberlin. Just a comment as to the fact that Bach probably did most of his composing on Pedal harpsichord in the warmth of his home rather than freezing his gonads in a cold church, and paying a young person to pump the organ...interesting ? contemplate it.

[@lerkkweed]

Absolutely glorious rendering. No false, blurring, sentimental "mellifluousnes." A brilliantly beautifully stark performance that trusts the great master to redeem it all and does.

I have heard of it, saw some of the sheet music a while ago, but never heard the work itself. I think I supposed it to be lesser than Bach's famous Tocatta and Fugue in Dm, but this is hardly so, just different. I am so happy to have stumbled across this amazing performance. Another work that I have come to love which has become one of my favorites after finding it here on YT is J.S. Bach - Fantasia and Fugue in C minor, BWV 537 {Peter Hurford}, if you aren't familiar with it, you should have a listen. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWSViWOQhb2AmLs

[@JUANKERR2000]

@Mookie Spindlehurst It is not semantics it is simple grammar, 'were' is the correct form form here as it is used in the subjunctive mood, you are confusing it with the indicative past tense 'were'. Grammar, particularly English grammar, is a tricky field in which to beard someone if you do not have a very solid foundation on which to stand, please forgive the mixed metaphors. Incidentally that should strictly be "...as my being...".

Another great version of another of my favourites. Luciano 'smashes it'. This organ sounds great, the pedal pipes not only give great tone, but the sound is taught with good note definition. the pedal point section at the end sounds wonderful and is the icing on the cake. It is like the way the prelude of BWV 540 resolves towards the end with pedal point and the start of the glorious end section.
