J. S. Bach: Sei gegrüsset, Jesu gütig, BWV 768 | Arnstadt | Bálint Karosi

[@stephandippon9973]

I had the pleasure to hear many brilliant recordings of "Sei gegrüßet". This one is one of the best of all. A masterpieces played from a master!

[@robertramsay5963]

Thanks for posting your registrations. I wish more organists did this.

[@gregfolland8452]

Robert Ramsay - You’re right, it makes the whole experience so much more interesting when you know exactly what the stop combinations are.

[@TurtleFL]

I'm just imagining what the screen would look like if someone playing the Midmer-Losh in Atlantic City posted registrations while playing full organ ensembles....

[@endormaster2315]

When I watch these videos I always think that.

[@williamleitzel1810]

Can you imagine the amount of work that went into building that organ back then. Organ builders must have been really dedicated to their work. Who today would take the time to carve that beautiful facade, glad they were able to restore it as well as the organ.. W Leitzel

[@raoulm.kisselbach1115]

A colourful and vibrant interpretation of this quite lenghty work. Gratulations!

[@TheJohn1567]

At second hearing, maybe third, your playing in perfection!

[@TheJohn1567]

The playing of this piece was perhaps the best I've ever heard.

[@grahaml3449]

What a great choice to play at the Arnstadt organ! The work shows a lot of the solo stops of the organ, with its good number of original pipes. What a treasure!

[@grahaml3449]

@Sebastián Gossio Well, according to Herr Preller, organist there for many years, the rebuild about 1999 had 320 original pipes to work with and some bits of the woodwork. They also had good documentation of the 1703 organ.

[@jsc5492]

In the 1999 reconstruction of the 1703 instrument, only half the stops have more than 50% of historic pipes. None of the pedal is historic. Most stops contain few or no historical pipes!

[@alexgregorj]

Ascolto questo pezzo in questo organo magico...e mi vengono su i secoli 🔥

[@izhakkenji]

私はこのコラールが大好きです。そのコラールをあなたの演奏で聞くことができ、とても嬉しいです。

[@petejungen1636]

This is about the best performance of this work I have ever heard. The only other one that comes close is an old recording by Karl Richter at the Soro monastery.

[@farahmohammed1963]

Beautiful interpretation!! Thank you for taking the time to add your registrations... this certainly raises the bar on organ concert videos, and this effort is greatly appreciated!!🌺

[@KaCzMaRiXDee93]

Wonderfull playing! God bless for you mr Ballint.

[@pierluigicastellaneta5487]

Bravo! According to me, this is one of the greatest organ work of all time! Beautiful interpretation!

[@thekingsfighter]

Thank you for just stating what you think, and with a little bit of humor.😊

[@vk2nf]

Entry at 18:03 is magnificent!!

[@user-gc4zi8vk7g]

Thank you very much for your wonderful and beautiful performance. Especially for the chorales, it was very helpful because I didn't have many performance posts. Moreover, I was happy because it was my favorite song.

[@wesleycurryii3341]

I suppose some would say this is......well, lets forget about what imaginations would say. FANTASTIC, and having the time on Bachs organ with his music. Your pedal work is a foreign matter to me, and I was never able to devote the time to learning the technique of it, so, I am continuously amazed at your skill there. I would like to know about how you selected the Stops on the organ for this performance, (?) And hope you are happy, healthy, tell the vision from Jesus, and recall that Bach dedicated EVERY piece he wrote....to Jesus....tall, about 6’3, black hair, olive skin, like a greek olive on a pizza. Maybe you will tell the vision, maybe not. But hearing you play music is a deep joy, and the most depthful one I shall have in my aging years. Thanks. Wes.

[@johnriddle9526]

A very insightful performance, especially of the next-to-last variation. Performance, organ, and video - all absolutely first-class.

[@SecretsofOrganPlaying]

Herr Bach would be pleased...

[@renaldtremblay8333]

Toujours parfait le monsieur Valentin! Registrations magnifiques, toujours réfléchies, pesées, adaptées aux phrases sonores. Un orgue intelligent et sensible.

[@johnnowacki6903]

Brilliant! Lovely registrations, and perfect tempi! What a pleasure...

[@antoinedietrich9694]

Superbe interprétation. Merci. Antoine Dietrich

[@rsns311257]

Most impressive: Bach may have played that very same piece in that very same organ.

[@Ianthe22]

One can look up if he was there physically in the period where he wrote that pieceXD.

[@ryanfrederick3376]

He almost certainly did. The chorale partitas are very, very early compositions.

[@rsns311257]

@@ryanfrederick3376 Yes, you are right

[@xenolalia]

Well, only about half of the Oberwerk, significantly less of the Brustwerk, and none of the Pedal pipes from Bach's time have survived. Likewise, the action and key desk are modern reconstructions dating from the restoration by Hoffmann in the late 90s (though the heavily restored original key desk is preserved in the museum nearby). A bit like the famous ship of Theseus ... Edit: According to Wolff (2006), the particular registers that still contain at least 50% historical material are the Gamba 8' (OW), Quintadehna 8' (OW), Grobgedacktes 8' (OW), Gemshorn 8' (OW), Octava 4' (OW), Mixtur IV 2' (OW), Cymbel II 1' (OW), Stillgedacktes 8' (BW), Nachthorn 4' (BW), and Mixtur III 1' (BW).

[@bravehendrik9985]

Bach never played this organ. It is an reproduction of the old organ. In that church are a few parts of the original organ which bach had played

[@thekingsfighter]

I was more and more amazed as the piece went along. Thank you for posting this treasure.

[@ruscharles]

Good Lord, fantastic playing and registrations. thank you. Charles Rus

[@jandevries9123]

Prachtige, doorleefde uitvoering! En wat een veelkleurig orgel!

[@elanabeverlycarr6090]

Beautiful music played beautifully! Wonderful instrument! Thank you! :-)

[@dkbvi]

Brilliant - thanks for the great performance, thanks for giving the registrations!

[@mint2001]

Thank you Balint, very nice performance.

[@andre26071955]

Splendid performance, and thanks for mentioning the used registrations!

[@user-tp3bf2gs2f]

Puro splendore

[@audreyyoon5832]

Nice.~~~So amazing playing and video👍😁 I like this organ. So beautiful organ

[@cembalaro]

Thanks for posting your wonderful playing!!! (I wish more organists did this.)

[@christopherglenn3240]

It's always a great joy to see and hear you perform. Thank you for posting these informative and quite musical offerings.

[@caver56]

the kantor of leipzig. the best!

[@bpowell875]

Vielen Dank für die Orgelspex!!

[@cees1rijp]

Ooit gehoord door Jirri Rheinberger in Zwolle. Lekker rustig en mooi genieten.

[@MitchBoucherComposer]

Great performance! This is one of my favorite partitas.

[@charlessiegler6303]

Excellent performance 👏

[@lucianocosta7627]

Congratulations on a most inspiring interpretation.

[@EduardQualls]

Kitűnő: ausgezeichnet!

[@monsieurgrigny]

Magic. I love it.

[@jrzzrj]

👍......the best.....

[@jonliinason3]

Wonderful, just wonderful! Thank You! :)

[@comms9803]

You are obviously having too much fun. Beautiful work!

[@superpipes100]

I just heard Bach playing...

[@giorgiodeluca9451]

Bravo master!

[@SDGRTX1455]

BACH > all

[@donaldjacobson4184]

Lass die negativen Kommentare von manchen unten :(. Eine ausgezeichnete Ausführung. Danke sehr. Ich liebe es, diese Partita zu spielen, und es freute mich sehr deine Interpretation zu hören. Echt prächtig.

[@Daniels-io1sp]

Balint Karosi, which historical correct pipe organ stops we used to performed the basso continuo from cantatas, oratorios, masses, motets and other sacred choral works by Bach and other baroque composers?

[@artgamesforfun]

This is definitely sub worthy!

[@musikwortkunst9019]

fantastic!

[@hopelittwin]

awesome!

[@user-tv4rx1pq9c]

Wow, that's a very useful video ❤️

[@ryanfrederick3376]

Probably as close as we can get to Bach as he would've heard it.

[@GerardRatigan]

Très bien

[@danielgolden5352]

You should play some of this as a Postlude at St. Peter's.

[@bkarosi]

Daniel Golden yes I should!

[@ivancarlson953]

He's done that before.

[@teunvandesteeg7836]

Very nice. One remark. I can't prove it but this tempo is too fast in my opinion. We should not forget that organists today play with the technique of Czerny.

[@marcosdlopezlopez1443]

Im pretty much useless when it comes to instruments but I love classical music and I wanna learn to play the pipe organ

[@OldPannonian]

Never give up. Keep at it and you will surprise yourself. I am seventy-nine years old with physical limitations. I am starting to learn on my Hauptwerk virtual pipe organ.

[@alexanderwessetzky6433]

toll, der Ansatz gut, jetzt noch viel mehr Ruhe...Der Choral ist so etwas wie dein Standard in deiner Pulslänge. Bist du wirklich so fast ruhelos...Noch einmal wunderschön...aber...relax...beatme den Choral

[@TurtleFL]

In case you ever wondered what one of Bach's pieces sounds like on his own organ.... they have his organ.

[@TurtleFL]

That one's tuned sharp, too, isn't it.

[@bpowell875]

The trumpet sounds almost like a krummhorn to me

[@karl-heinzgranath9777]

Hallo

[@JongheeYoon]

10:30

[@stylusfantasticus]

the camera man never shows the pedalboard....probably he thinks that there is a piano.

[@thekingsfighter]

Interesting. My guess is the camera was set on a stand.

[@ullinator1388]

Nein, der Kameramann ist schon älter, es fiel ihm schwer, sich zu bücken. 😃

[@meinhardhulsmann2793]

Bach was outstanding, he can´t have a successor. Balint Karosi might be a good organ player, but light years behind J.S.Bach.

[@ullinator1388]

Oh, du hast Bach selbst spielen gehört?

[@OldPannonian]

Dear Meinhard Hülsmann. Pray tell us how you managed to achieve time travel. I would also like to go back to the seventeen hundreds. With the appropriate vaccinations, of course.

[@garypedersen4202]

I'm a organist my self

[@jackeddemon]

Too fast.

[@stefanhinners2199]

leider schlechte Registrierungen, schade um dieses ausdrucksstarke Werk!!!

[@ullinator1388]

Stimmt, der Organist ist ein hervorragender Spieler, aber hier hätte ich mir auch ein wenig mehr Dynamik in der Auswahl der Register gewünscht.

[@charlottewhyte9804]

don,t like this particular work,hate variations
