J.S. Bach Chaconne BWV 1004 (tr. Henri Messerer) - Olivier Penin, l'orgue Sainte Clotilde Paris

[@cyllansse]

Le summum de la musique, le summum de l'art mondial, cette Chaconne de Bach. Monstrueux. Il n'y a pas d'équivalent dans aucune discipline, qu'une personne surclasse à ce point tous ses collègues, et tout l'art alentour de tous temps, de façon transcendante. C'est fou. Et l'interprète est hors norme, quelle clarté, quel travail, quelle âme, quel coeur, c'est faramineux. Et l'orgue n'est pas en reste. Bref, un Ange passe...

[@peregrinusabsoluti2302]

Monsieur, je vous prie de croire que j’embrasse absolument votre commentaire et votre pensée.

[@Musique617]

Il y a quand même les deux "Passions" comme summum... pour le reste de votre commentaire je partage totalement.

[@michaelnoah7453]

Absolutely agree.

The sound of this organ is to die for! The performance is awesome too. Thanks from Andrew in Calgary, Canada

[@limitstoprogress]

Interesting how this melody can flow on the organ vs on a violin. A wonderful, unique performance! Thank you- from Canada

[@aadbind64]

this is by far the best version I ever heard👍👏 Thank you Olivier Penin and crew.

Magnifique ! Quelle montée vers cette coda lumineuse ! Du grand art !

Olivier Penin looks like a professional football player. Then he begins to play and what sensitive and beautiful music he makes.

[@AECSRQ]

I was just thinking the same thing! He has a muscular yet delicate approach like a cross between a samurai and a surgeon. 🥰😄

[@joespeciale5875]

I have heard this organ piece by Bach before but never with such energy and elegance.

[@raphaelmeyer9940]

Toutes les transcriptions pour orgue ne se valent pas, mais celle-ci... Les montées prennent une profondeur que seul l'orgue peut rendre, et les subtilités sont exceptionnellement rendue par cet instrument et par une registration particulièrement adaptée. Chapeau bas à Vincent Hildebrandt pour la prise de son et le montage, ainsi qu'à Olivier Penin pour cette interprétation.

[@chet146]

beautiful and pure performance of the work, with the right sound accents and a good choice of registers!.. scarlet socks on the performer - 🔥too☝️🙂

[@OlivierPeninorgue]

Thank you so much !

[@mspg2]

That is the wonderful thing about Bach's music it is so versatile to re-interpret on other instruments. My very dear young friend Leonid Anikin, violinist has just posted the Chaconne on You tube- love your very restrained performance and your experimenting with stops. BRAVO.

[@julianbrelsford]

This is such an amazing piece and I love how this version takes advantage of so many capabilities of the organ with different voices and registers. It's also interesting to hear the repeat of the initial chord progression, which is made clear by the way the organ here can play the chords clearly (where in the violin they can be rather obscure since the violin can't always play a three note chord & a melody at the same time)

[@jensc.jensen4358]

Bach, the true Master of the ability to express emotion and passion. I feel his life gave him challenges harder than most. However to my joy and comfort through my own trials. What a talented artist and composer. The greatest of all perhaps?

[@christianreimann4652]

Chaconne is in my opinion the best classic ever! I am happy that the public does not know this...:-)

[@johardy-bishop9105]

@@christianreimann4652 I agree absolutely. The perfect piece with something of everything. I am obsessed with this work.

[@christianreimann4652]

@@johardy-bishop9105 me too! when I die, I want this music being played!!! is soooooo emotional, I love it and Olivier play it so deep, the version of Helene Grimoud is also fantastic...(piano)...

[@johardy-bishop9105]

I first heard it played by Jonathan Scott on the organ (please listen - those trumpets! ‘God is great! ….. And so is Bach!’ My interpretation). But my favourite violin rendition is by Liza Ferschtman.

[@michroz]

Besides the mastery and the brilliance, I like very much the fluency and the rythm of this performance. Violinists tend to fermata too many notes and I often lose the Bach's rythm listening their performances. But this one is smooth like a song. At least the 1-st half.

[@natalyamark]

Oh , my God! How wonderful it is....

[@mariebourhis6988]

Éblouissant !!! Ou l'art de donner des couleurs magnifiques à la musique. Sonorités divines de l'instrument. Merci 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

Merci beaucoup!

[@melissaraven3164]

The sudden quiet passage starting at 7:30 is exquisite!

[@jcourtois9666]

Prise de son et interprétation magnifiques. Une très grande clarté caractérise l'ensemble, Ste Clotilde peut faire du très très grand Bach. Dès les deux premières minutes, avec le passage anches, puis fonds puis flûtes, le prodigieux travail de registration est là, aussi savant que naturel… et le reste sera de la même eau. L'équilibre du "tout" et des détails, la montée irrésistible sans exclure la poésie (à 7 min 30 s !), tout mérite les plus grands éloges. Il y a dans ces seize minutes beaucoup de choses, à voir, à entendre… et à apprendre.

[@guislainbernard1434]

Merci beaucoup Olivier pour cette belle interpretation. Quelle chance avez vous de jouer sur un si bel instrument! C est un regal....

[@denischacha9062]

Depuis très jeune, cette pièce pour violon m'a toujours impressionné. Ici, elle est transcendée par votre superbe interprétation et par cet orgue magnifique ! Quel plaisir d'écouter cette "orchestration", merci !! Je serai très curieux de savoir ce que JSB lui-même aurait fait comme transcription ...

[@markfortuin7111]

Good job Olivier. This is a monumental work and you played from memory.

[@Sathrandur]

Wow! Where to start? The microphone placement, the lighting, the litany of beautiful stops sampled, the virtuosity of performance, the camera angles, especially the drone angle from above at the end... all so wonderful, and one of Bach's most beautiful, pathos-filled works. I'm having trouble searching for the right words at this point.

This is just… I lack for words. This music is so dark, gloomy and solemn, but yet somehow reinforcing and comforting. And who am I to argue with the genius Maestro Bach himself, - sorry, Maestro! - but in my opinion the organ is the best instrument for this chaconne. I heard many transcriptions as it's one of my favorites by Bach, but on the organ it's something multidimensional.

J'ai entendu la Chaconne de Bach dans sa version originale, au violon, qui demande une grande virtuosité. J'ai adoré. J'ai aussi aimé la transcription pour piano de Ferruccio Busoni, qui m'a enthousiasmé. Mais que dire de cette version pour orgue? Elle est tout simplement merveilleuse, et Bach -j'en suis intimement persuadé-, l'aurait aimée également.Merci M.Olivier Pénin de nous donner ce beau présent musical dans la transcription du grand organiste marseillais Henri Messerer.

A romantic transcription played in a very romantic style. Very decadent and Bach would probably turn in his grave, but I love it. The registration in the quieter passages shows off the solo stops very well. A fine performance on a very fine instrument.

Beautiful. As an organist, I may be biased, but it sounds written for the instrument, and not a transcription. Probably since Bach's works for stringed instruments are actually fairly "organistic". Makes sense, as Bach was of course, and organist first and foremost.
