Thank you so much for playing and sharing this lovely piece - and what a beautiful church for this fine English organ to have found a home in !

Underbart!

"Oh, that I had a thousand tongues!"👅👅👅That phrase might create images of horrendous monsters, especially with the next line, "and a thousandfold mouth", but it's only the beginning of a hymn of praise, for all those tongues and mouths, along with the rest of the entire Creation, would be used to praise God!👹 Personally, I'm good with thousands of organ pipes instead, such as in this glorious organ! One of Reger's little gems that doesn't even use the pedals, but this instrument has enough power anyway.💥🤩Hope you like it, and as always - don't forget to click the thumbs-up and subscribe!

Nice reeds. Good sunday.

Beautiful.

Moai hear! Tige tank!

Vackert! (men ärkebiskopen hette Söderblom)

This is a new world of music entering my mind. I've longed for this kind of music my entire life

A new world of music is opening into my mind, this is what I've longed for my whole life

Absolutely astonishing!Hitting my heart directly

I love this music!!And you're a brilliant performer Henrik Berg!

Fantastic music!! Both composer and performer are of world clas, I love this musical environment!

Supert!

Very beautiful Partita and an organ which seems to be in a perfect state of tuning. Good Sunday.

(My non-relative) Gottfrid Berg is back with another partita, this time on one of the most beloved Swedish summer hymns: "I denna ljuva sommartid" (In this lovely summertime/Go forth, my heart, and seek delight/Geh’ aus, mein Herz, und suche Freud).🌹🌺🌸🌼🌻The text goes all the way back to 1653 in Germany, but the melody that we hear here was written by the then archbishop of Sweden, Nathan Söderblom. It’s quite popular, used with three other texts as well, one for each season. Here however Berg had the summer hymn in mind, and what can I say - it’s just so lovely!😍Like sitting in the shade of a tree on a sunny summer’s day, listening to the rustle of the leaves…🌳Until the last part, where the sun shines in full splendour!🌞Now as always - don’t forget to click the thumbs-up and subscribe!😃

Damn. Tears to my eyes. No one else I searched plays this like my dear Dad used to. There is a flow you have that my Dad had almost exactly the same. He was not a professional pianist, he had favourites that he played wonderfully. Thank you so much for sharing.

very touching 🙏🏻

What a beautiful, evocative title so well rendered by this superb composition. Bravo for the work.

Underbart, tack, och en fin midsommar önskas dig, från Öland.

Happy Midsummer!🌼🌻This is music for a little Midsummer adventure on Lake Mälaren, three 'musical vignettes' from the year 1919 for August Strindberg’s long poem/short story 'Stadsresan’ (The journey to the city), which in this case is bound for Stockholm.🏙The music was composed for a reading of said poem, which is in three parts, about the organist in Årby, travelling to Stockholm at Midsummer.🚢The music doesn’t necessarily reflect the poem, but aims to set the scene before each of the poem’s three parts. In the first movement it’s still night, although a bright night before Midsummer Eve with the last star disappearing.🌠Nature starts to wake up, and we get a premonition of the little crisis that our organist will experience in the third part of the poem.😣In the second movement our organist has arrived in Stockholm, and is already on his way back by boat. We hear bells ringing from the churches in central Stockholm while we see the market selling young birches for decoration along with colourful Midsummer poles.🔔Finally, in the third movement, it’s a quiet summery Sunday and our organist is getting ready to play in church.🎹The music is mostly calm and atmospheric, with a slight hint of what is to come: in the poem he goes home after the service, sitting down at the grand piano playing a toccata by Bach and the Appassionata, one of Beethoven’s most dramatic sonatas, in bitter agony over his life not being what he dreamt of, and over the evil in this world.🎹💥Although these pieces can’t be heard in Rangström’s music, as I mentioned I think some of these feelings can be heard already in the first movement. But it all ends well as the villagers and the organist’s wife show their appreciation for his playing, which could be heard the window…!🙂👏A long story short, and as always - don’t forget to click the thumbs-up and subscribe!😃

What a magnificent evocation. In France, we are a little too ignorant of the existence of all the composers in your country. Good Sunday.

The journey to Gotland continues this week with the second part of "From the Town of Roses and Memories", the magical medieval town of Visby.🌹🏰We start by going along the coast a bit south of Visby, down to the impressive cliff of Högklint, next to which we find the dramatic rock formation where in the 18th century the robber Lilja used to hide in a cave.🌄After that the mood changes as we hear the sensual and hypnotic singing of the mermaids while the waves gently hit the beach beneath the precipice of Högklint.🧜‍♀Back in town, the kids play a very lively game - "last pair out". Just try to keep up with their energy!🏃‍♀🏃Finally then, it’s time to take the ferry back to the mainland, and as the composer says an emotional goodbye to his friends and relatives, we hear a melancholy melody in the style of a Swedish folk song, fading away at the end as the lovely isle of Gotland fades out of view while we look out from the ferry deck.🛳🏝Now as always, don’t forget to like, subscribe, and of course - if you haven’t listened to part one, do it now!😃

III. is incredibly modern for being Oscarian Sweden. Very well played!

Preludes 11 and 12 have a few double sharps

Bravo, a little marvel and what work!

Come join me on a journey to Gotland!🛳"From the Town of Roses and Memories" takes you to the mesmerising town of Visby, with its multitude of church ruins and medieval buildings.🏰Known as the 'Town of Roses' in Sweden, for the composer it was also the 'Town of memories', as he was born and raised there.🌹The suite starts with a vision of a vesper in the ruins of old St. Lawrence’s church, with bells ringing to gather the people for the evening service.🔔Next up is a sunny summer’s morning in what is known today as 'Åhsbergska hagen', a sort of wild park north of town. Perhaps picturing a breakfast picnic!🌼Very reminiscent of Peterson-Berger’s music. In the incredibly elegant third movement we follow butterflies playing around in the beautiful Botanical Garden,🦋after which some groomsmen and bridesmaids engage in a charming waltz.💃And this is only part one, the second part will follow next week! A few words on Gustaf Hägg: mostly known today for his colourful organ works, he was a very important organist and teacher in his own days, based in St. Clara’s Church in Stockholm. He did however write more than that, as we can hear here.🎶Now as always - don’t forget to click the thumbs-up and subscribe - and don’t miss part two next week!😃

En ros var till er båda 🌹🌹

I took lessons from 7-14 years old.. I’m 27 now and just started playing again. I was learning this song when I quit playing. I can remember the beginning of this song still, trying to learn the rest has been difficult ):

I love hearing the trumpets from the pipe organ

Such a beautiful song and the interplay between the voice and piano is very mesmerizing. Well done! It was very moving to listen to.

Great😮

Congratulations to both of you for so much delicacies.

As we now enter the sixth month, here’s an incredible love-song describing a wonderful night in June with blossoming jasmins, the air filled with violins, dewy minutes passing by, and white petals snowing down from the trees:🌸🎻🌳 "You who among jasmines, while the night passes, tenderly overshadow me with your silken hair, hear, how the night rings, filled with violins, hear, how June plays music of fair years! It is sweet to me to burn with a fire so pure, to keep vigil in the wonderful glow of a sunny night, to close my eyes, to open them finding the dream by my side, alive and soft. No hand can bind like your slender hand, it was at first its weakness that bound my being, give it to me and lead me slowly like the blind, lead me through the night to the sun of your land! Dewy minutes float past us, the light stays in your clear eyes, beneath the snowfall of the trees I close you in my arms - quiet trees that blossom will also we become."❤‍🔥💖💘 Such wonderful poetry, written by Anders Österling.

Love how your videos feature so many different organs. They're all magnificent instruments.

Did you ever play the EPB version where the melody is in the pedal?

BeautiFULL organ 👌

ich habe dasselbe Stück gerade bei der Messe gespielt.

ありがとう、Danke! Thank you !

Thank you for playing this wonderful interior piece so well.

Wow vilket fint stycke☺️

Behind the simple title "Pièce" hides another little Bonis gem…✨The gently undulating motif at the beginning permeates the entire piece, moving through different keys with no real melodic development, it’s just pure emotion, pure beauty, and it has this melancholy warm sunset light so typical of Mel Bonis.🌅I think it just fits so well to the bright evenings we’re having this time of the year.

My father used to play the organ. Thank you for sharing

Nice color of the solo.

Happy Second Day of Pentecost!🕊🌬 A heartfelt prayer to the Holy Spirit is this gem of a chorale prelude, just as the hymn it’s based on - 'We now implore the Holy Ghost' - "Give us the right faith, protect us, comfort us, shine on us, and let us feel a glowing love for each other." In short terms.🙏Something to meditate a bit on, with Buxtehude at his best!✨As always - don’t forget to click the thumbs-up and subscribe!😃

Composition as beautiful as the day of Pentecost.

Wonderful.

Happy Pentecost!🌬🕊It's the feast of the Holy Spirit, so what could be better than a little partita on the hymn "O benevolent Spirit, lead me"?! Gottfrid Berg in his bright and happy mood, perfect for a beautiful spring day!🌞🌱🌷 The tune has many different texts and some slightly different melodic varieties, do you recognise it?
