Toccata et fugue BWV 565 de Bach

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)
Toccata et fugue en ré mineur BWV 565 pour orgue
Arrangement de Bruce Fox-Lefriche en la mineur pour violon seul
Marie-Astrid Hulot, violon

[@hiongun]

best rendition ever performed by a violin player

[@michaelohair3715]

Agreed!

[@KrappiTheClown]

I don't know [edit:as in I have no idea] if it's the best, but it's the one closest to what I hear inside my mind. I almost want to unlike the video just so I can like it again

[@JayOlli]

This is an amazing performance. In my opinion - much better than Vengerov's or Krylov's (both using the arrangement by Bruce Fox-Lefriche). The technique is impeccable, without putting too much "violinist ego" into the interpretation, keeping the performance clean, clear, letting the music speak for itself. Bravo !

She plays this piece so effortlessly and beautifully, that it sounds like it was originally written for violon.

[@fearlessfosdick160]

There are those who say that this piece was not written by Bach, but by one of his students, and that it was written as a violin exercise. In any event, the Dm fugue is my favorite piece of music and she makes it look so easy that it nearly brought tears to my eyes.

[@fearlessfosdick160]

@@Narragorth Yes, I am familiar with that theory. Actually, it goes farther than that and posits that the piece was written by one of Bach's students as a practice exercise for violin.

[@Narragorth]

@@fearlessfosdick160 yea, but I can definitely hear "Bach" when it's played on violin. And there is a big difference between "vibe" (not just style) of Bach and his sons, for example, I can hear it. Similar here, I can hear some passages that are similar to other Bach's violin works. So I don't think that it could be written by Bach's student or son's. But, it's only my experience. Btw organ version is definitely written by Bach's student or son's and I can hear it too

[@fearlessfosdick160]

@@Narragorth I am not saying that it is not written in Bach's style, of course it is. The truth is that I am not even sure that I buy into the theory. I am just stating what I read about it.

Félicitations aux professeurs qui auront permis le plein épanouissement de cette artiste. Merci pour le partage.!

[@phpn99]

Il est clair que ce morceau a originalement été écrit pour le violon et retranscrit pour l'orgue. Il n'est pas sûr qu'il ait été composé par Bach et il a nettement un style du Sud de l'Allemagne, voire même de l'Italie. Une fois au violon on entend plus de lien avec Buxtehude. Le mystère de son origine en fait quelque chose de précieux. Bravo pour cette magnifique interprétation, largement supérieure à tout ce qu'on peut entendre d'autre.

[@LucileCoccinelle]

[@alexbes6344]

This piece was probably initially written for the violin and then adapted to the organ so that explains why it fits perfectly with the violin ! Lovely interpretation 😍

[@ericolens3]

idk i think the piano sounds great due to it allowing more notes WITHOUT the heavy overlay that organs give. as long as the piece has a call and response feel i love most interpretations. but sadly its frequently butched (to my ears) when the musicians just run through the notes. its a piece that has an acquired taste due to so many movements that overlap. (i am by no means a musical elitist but the call and response sounds so awesome that ANY OTHER Iteration just is horrendous, even worse so when the organ has no natural fall off (like the paino does) so that the notes just sound raucous. again that me speaking ill of both the composer and the player.. such a taboo i know. but thats my take. so yeah i love/ hate this piece depending on who and how its played. and she truly did this piece justice. trust me cuz i can play this song 7 times in a row just to compare and contrast different instuments and arrangements (solo, duo, small group full symphony, piano, violin, harp, horn quartet, and so on) at this rate I will listen to this piece just to compare its nuance. (all 8-ish minutes for 4-5 iterations, not including repeats, lol) again im not a music professional just a music lover.

Bien sûr je like cette impressionnante prestation transcription. Un bémol de ma part jouant cette toccata et fugue moi-même sur orgue .Il me semble qu'il faille respecter la tonalité de ré mineur Hors il ya dans cette prestation quelques audaces en Majeur qui à mon avis n'ont pas leur place .Toute l'œuvre doit en principe rester en mode mineur .

[@BernardGreenberg]

Unbelievable. Been playing it on the organ all my life, but this exceptional performance convinces me that the solo violin was the original medium of BWV 565. Compared to the great preludes and fugues of Bach's Leipzig years, 565 isn't much of an organ fugue, but as a violin fugue, it's as good as they get. This is a stunning display of total command of the violin to bring us something we have never really heard before, a new and powerful insight on a beloved and important work that still holds mysteries from us. Brava (and bravo to the arranger!)!!!

Pour une fois, je vais commenter en français. Je dois dire que j'hallucine. Moi qui pensais qu'il n'existait aucun(e) violoniste français(e) capable de rivaliser à l'international, je découvre cette violoniste dont je n'avais jamais entendu parler... Le star système en France est visiblement toujours malade et incapable de réellement mettre au premier plan (en tous cas sur la durée) ceux ou celles qui devraient s'y trouver. Cette interprétation est miraculeuse, tant sur le plan technique que musical. Je n'arrive pas à comprendre pourquoi je trouve aussi peu de vidéos sur KZbin avec cette violoniste et qu'elle semble n'être pas plus présente sur le circuit d'abord français et ensuite international. J'espère de tout cœur que c'est juste son choix à elle.
