Beautiful! 40 days after easter, a remarkable day in the Christian calendar; and one with which we associate one of my favourite Psalm quotations "God goes up with shouts of joy; the Lord goes up with trumpet blast" (I imagine they were en-chamade) 🎺😊
Hey Richard what a nice surprise to find this Thursday evening 'lollipop' you have posted. It's a lovely offering for Ascension day and a great piece to listen to whilst quietly thinking of others and meditating the meaning of today. You make the organ sound so bright and clear. Thank you again. I am looking forward to Saturday evening with eager anticipation.
Thanks so much!! Such complexity even by today’s standards. I wonder how transcendent this must have sounded to someone in Bach’s time. Splendid performance Richard!
Splendid! BWV 630 sounds absolutely glorious on the Marcussen at Rotterdam and you both register and play it at the point of perfection, Richard. I enjoyed your performance very much and was all the more interested because yesterday, for the first time, I heard the Georg Andreas Sorge setting of the same Easter Lutheran hymn, so I have been able to 'compare and contrast'. I know that it is known that Bach and Sorge were friends, though I am sure Georg recognised he could not quite match the genius of his friend, Johann! A great choice of voluntary for Ascension Thursday!
Alas, the bad memories this piece brings back. In my mid 20's I had to play it for a Grade 6 exam and found it so difficult to sight-read that I learnt to play it from memory. Come the exam, the examiner harshly berated me for daring to use a, (frankly unnecessary by then), photocopied music score. Being un-nerved I was then unable to play the piece to completion and failed the exam. Although it remains a 'skeleton in the cupboard', it's still a joy to hear it played so well though.
I love the Orgelbuchlein ! Thanksfor having put this piece in perspective with the original choral !

Thank you Richard that was such a beautiful hymn. I really enjoyed listening to it as I have never heard it before. Always so nice to hear a new hymn.
Danke Richard. Es war wundervoll vorgetragen. Thx. Richard beautiful
Thank you Richard for the post, very clear and bright registration.
Very nice playing, pleasantly flowing!

How awful for you! Exam experiences can be real nightmares and it is a shame that this glorious piece of Bach is a reminder of that unhappy time.
@@grahamtwist Thank you for your kind words.
Thanks for the mid week video sir 👍
Happy Ascension Day
Bach's choral relations are very few, so it's very helpful. I would be grateful if the score was a little bigger ...
That’s about right
Surprised no comment on my idea of dualing organ presentation with Diane Bish 🧐
She is a superb organist too. I like her video of Passau organ.
Aus welchem Buch ist der erste Teil? wie kommt man an die Noten?
What did that organ cost
