J. S. Bach - Chorale Prelude "Erbarm dich mein, o Herre Gott" BWV721

- This piece appears as strikingly simple arrangement by Bach. But this simplicity is combined with perfect harmony. The Unda Maris in the solo division - one of the most beautiful stops of the instrument - mystically carries the cantus firmus of the chorale.
I got inspired by Juan de la Rubia's recording at the Metzler organ in the Poblet monastery. Here, I decided to apply a slightly faster pace.

Tears are rolling down my face as I remember the cozy autumn evenings at my grandpa’s, when the room is suddenly so dark that you have to turn some dimmed light on, but you know you are safe and everything just falls down in place, because grandpa is somewhere around. You can dive into the book you’re reading, and just feel at home in that very part of the universe, at that very moment, absolutely content and peaceful, free of any worries, because even though he might interrupt your reading to share some thoughts of his own, (and you might even be a little annoyed by his insistence, although deep inside you are just amused) he is there for you, to take care of you, to give you that sense of security and confidence that no matter what tomorrow brings, everything will always be alright. And the reason is a very simple and universal truth. Everything will always be alright because someone is there to watch over you, and you can always come to him when you’re feeling weary or lost. Down your road, no matter how dark, desolate, windswept, lonesome, gloomy, aimless, hopeless it seems, one house will always be waiting for you, one persistent light in the dark, with its colors and its smells, its gardens and its pillows, its laughs and its daydreams, to welcome you and ease your restless mind, to warm your soul and rekindle your hope. And as I recollect my memories and dry my tears, I realize such a simple truth that no one will ever take it away from me. Under the dimmed light of my own lamp, beyond grief and loss, the same feeling of security warms my whole body. He is still there to watch over me, not from afar, although I can’t see him, but very close by, deep inside, in the warmth of my heart. And the persistence of his gift of love, the realization that, even across an ocean of time, someone will always think of me and never let me down, is enough to brighten my dusky autumn evening…
Beautiful words. Thanks.
Exquisitely described, Lazar.
I have never heard this piece before, now I can't stop listening. First time I did, the tears just ran down my face! I feel so thankfull to God, it' s like I' m hearing his voice! And thank you for this touching performance.
👍È vero. È un brano di una bellezza e incanto fuori dal tempo 😥
I as well…
Tears ran down my face too …
Same for me… Tears are rolling down my face as I remember the cozy autumn evenings at my grandpa’s, when the room is suddenly so dark that you have to turn some dimmed light on, but you know you are safe and everything falls down in place, because grandpa is somewhere around. You can dive into the book you’re reading, and just feel at home in that very part of the universe, at that very moment, absolutely content and peaceful, free of any worries, because even though he might interrupt your reading to share some thoughts of his own, he is there for you, to take care of you, to give you that sense of security and that confidence that no matter what tomorrow brings, everything will always be alright. Everything will be alright because someone is there to watch over you, and you can always come and talk to him. I sometimes realize he is still there to watch you, not from afar, although you can’t see him, but very close by, deep inside, in the warmth of your heart. And the persistence of his gift of love, the realization that, even across an ocean of time, someone will always think of you and never let you down, is enough to brighten your dusky autumn evening…
Im an atheist and it still sounds like the voice of god 😂
If the universe were to end one day, if God were to abandon what he has created and go into a deep sleep, when darkness prevails in a dimensionless space, I could hear this music resonating in the depth of nothingness...
Bach's towering genius comes through as clearly in his deliberately simplest compositions as it does in his most intricate.
very true
J.S. Bach to me is more than just a composer. As someone famous said he is 5th Evangelist. His music is more than just a music but like a language through which God conveys His message. I can't stop listening to his music since I've discovered his Sublime Beauty, Peace and hormony. Even started to learn to play keyboard because of him. I am sure the World would be the better place if we all listen to His Music. Anyway, thank you for this beautiful and very touchable performance! May God bless you and your loved ones.
As he wrote on his scores-For the glory of God alone. Even atheist musicians comment on this quality of his music. A lot of modern players downplay this aspect of Bach and I HATE IT. For me Bach without God is not Bach.
@@BobbyL5757 As a Lutheran Bach put his faith far above his music.
@@johnmarquardt1991 It certainly seems so.

Yes, this is indeed a sublimely lovely rendition.
Bach channeling heaven once again. Beautiful.
Many thanks!
@@mundiniwebcast All thanks be to Bach and God. I say this although I'm not conventionally religious but I'm not an atheist either.
A miracle of devotion...
Thanks so much
Astounding such a well tempered performance Bach just came to life in This rendition absolutely beautiful work and well done
Thank you-glad you like it!
incredibly beautiful - what a divine music & performance, thx for sharing!!!!
Thanks so much!
I must say: I always wince at Hauptwerk in place of Pipe as a medium for performance of the repertoire - but this performance was excellent. Keen, sensitive, engaging. Very well done, man!
Thank you for the nice comment! I am glad you enjoyed it.

Davvero magico questo brano, costruito con maestrale leggerezza ma con profondità di suono e timbri che invadono l'anima predisponendola al raccoglimento, introspezione ed alla preghiera... Bach divino

Gracias por subir esta sublime música, es maravillosa esta pieza de Bach.
Thank you so much!
One of the most beatiful chorals
I very much enjoyed the performance and the recording - thank you for posting it! Hope to see more recordings from you soon.
Thank you for your nice comments. Glad you liked it!
Gorgeous!
Sounds very ethereal, thank you.
Thank you too!
A very nice rendition. Thank you for this wonderful Interpretation.🎹💐
Thanks for listening
I really love the way you played that music - now I want to learn BWV 721 myself. Thanks for the courage to play this tempo. It is the right one, especially with that stops and acoustics.
thank you, much appreciated!
Schon oft gehört und noch öfters selbst gespielt, aber diese Aufnahme ist eine Klasse für sich. Großen Dank dafür!
Vielen Dank Markus! Das freut mich sehr.
Absolutely breathtaking. Thank you for sharing. Beautiful colours!
Yes, Bach was a breathtaking genius. We can only try to interprete his music in a decent way.
Wonderful. Thank you.
Thank You Brett!
素晴らしい響き・心から感謝 ありがとうございます。
どうもありがとうございました
Meraviglioso!
Stunning !
Thank you! Cheers!
Solenne, largo, scorrevole, maestoso.
Bellissimo!
Grazie Mille, Giuseppe
Beautifully played! That left hand part is a "heartbeat".💙😊 You know that, right? It sounds like you do!
Glad, you like it. I could imagine JSB intended it to be that way - a steady slow heartbeat.
Dearly beloved . . . .
This is a very therapeutic and healing rendition -- as if I'm hearing my heart's prayer and God's answer at the same time -- thank you so much for this. The Unda Maris is truly mystical here -- I far prefer it to the brighter reeds or quint/tierce stops that are typically used. I have it on loop, and am being touched and healed in a very deep way ...
Thank you for the kind comment
This reminds me of some of Chuck Wild's "Liquid Mind" compositions -- I've often thought that they could be used so beautifully with some hymns and chorale melodies. This piece seems to do that, and I'm thinking that the same approach Bach uses here could be used to write some arrangements for other hymns such as Holy, Holy, Holy, or O God Our Help In Ages Past.
JS Bach the musical scientist. What would happen if I limited my left hand and pedals to quarter notes only? This.
Божественно !!!
Sublime
Wonderful !
Mooi, mooier, mooist! ❤
Thank you Tom!
O God most High, guide us to thine kingdom and everlasting glory. Comfort us with thy spirit and be our eternal friend in this life and the next… Amen

I love this chorale prelude. It requires utter concentration to be totally effective, must never be rushed, just saying. I enjoy your tempo and that of Juan de la Rubia's. I was under the impression that his recording was done in La Sagrada Familia Basilica, so I'm happy to be truly informed. No one will seem to reveal whether the present organ of two manuals in the Sagrada Basilica will be enlarged to four manuals with pipes in many various places in that sacred space. During the middle part of the Pandemic, I read that company had gone out of business. I pray to GOD this is not true. By the way, I have never heard or thought of the Unda Maris being used for the Cantus. Normally a Maris is not strong enough to carry the Cantus Firmus. Perhaps I misunderstood. ?
Hi Dale, thanks for your comments. Wrt to the Unda Maris: its a question of balancing your registration. On the Peterborough organ it worked out quite well. I agree, technically this choral prelude is not difficult, however its all about inner contemplation.
We ask, God answers through Bach
Truly fantastic- excellent pace and registration- as good as Richard mcveighs version on the beauty in sound channel 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻🍻
Thank you so much for this kind comment!

Dit is pure zalf voor de ziel.
Thank you so much
Njegova muzika je ravna bedkrajnosti kosmosa
Very true, indeed
Это теперь на очереди хотелок после Соляриса и итальянского концерта.
I love the tone colour, it sounds almost dreamlike - did you record this on a virtual organ? it seems real enough but with that slight bit of uncannyness you get with hauptwerk/grandorgue recordings and I think for this it absolutely worked in its favour. thank you!
Yes, this was performed using the Peterborough Cathedral sample set from Audio Angelorum
😔🌹🌹🌹🙋
I'm ignorant, I can't listen to classical music because it appears to me to be something senselessly long and incomprehensible. But not this.
Why is it so beautiful and tragic? It's damn beautiful, it calls you, but to tell you something inevitable and painful.
I avoid sad things like the plague, yet I come back here.
Why?
Sehr gut interpretiert. Meistens wird es zu schnell gespielt und mit zu kleinen Registern. Es muss sich "gemütlich" anhören...
in what key is this chorale prelude written?
Hi Dimitry, its F-sharp minor

Это трудно сыграть или не очень?
almost too pretty to be Bach but it is my favourite chorale.
a little too slow,could move a bit more,not much though
The organ is crying. Perfect. This slow movement, i like very much. Thank you.
@@bartligtvoet3701 ruclips.net/video/8F3axAwhk9M/видео.html Esiste questa interpretazione molto vecchia di Fernando Germani.... Ancora più lenta: Solo timbri di Principale.
it sounds like you''re entering hell, amazing some of this classical stuff can sound evil sometimes like fucking metal music man
no, its exiting hell - with steady pace to heaven
@@mundiniwebcast if you put this on youtube (Gustave Dore: A collection of 727 illustrations (HD) and put classical music over it, you have some amazing art and music that are just equally amazing, the guy carved all his paintings onto wood with a knife its worth checking out
