The Dutch and their organs deserve superlative descriptions. The organs and the performers are literally made for each other. Also, I admire their beutiful churches. Deep, lasting Culture everywhere. 🧡
Every country in Europe has many beautiful churches, and most also have wonderful organs. There is nothing particularly unique about the Netherlands in this respect.
Probably the most magnificent organ/case in the world. I will never forget walking in four years ago and turning to the right and being absolutely stunned. Luckily there was an organist there who was practicing, and I didn’t leave for the entire time. Naturally, he was playing Bach :)
The Bach trio sonatas may be the most wonderful pieces of music ever written. They are pieces that only the great master, JS Bach could have written! Beautiful playing on this wonderful instrument. Pieces that could only been inspired by almighty God -- to whom Bach was so devoted!
The last mvt of this sonata has one of the most fascinating subjects by merit of melodic shape and rhythm. It also has an incredible seriousness underlying a fireworks show of dance intrigue. Amazing.
This is one of those videos I am going to come back to again and again. Bach’s genius is so rapturously apparent. The artistry of the organist is fully commensurate with that genius.
I have been in that church and heard that organ in person way back in 1994. It is absolutely stunning both visually and sound-wise. It is one of my favorite organs in the world, and Matthias Havinga is one of my favorite organists. I would have loved to have been there for this!
@@caseyflorida The next time you visit the Netherlands try to hear the van Hagebeer/Schnitger organ in the Sint-Laurenskerk Alkmaar. If anything it is even more wonderful.
Beyond the din of history, beyond the dust of time, beyond the banality of us all, the genius of BACH remains. Would that one of us may have achieved in a lifetime what BACH achieved in a day.
Wonderful performance. Kudos also to Flentrop for maintaining this magnificent organ. It's easy to believe that Handel and a 10-year-old Mozart were drawn to play on it.
As always, splendid playing by the incomparable Matthias Havinga! Bravo! Fluid, flawless execution, and a clear separation of the voices ... not to mention the stunning instrument, and awesome photography! What more can anyone want?
Of all the trio sonatas, I like this song the most. I will never forget the indescribable shock when I first heard it. It's been a long time since then, but it's still one of my favorite songs.
Ich habe die Sonaten auch gespielt. Die Wiedergabe von Matthias ist top. Top! Artikulation, Tempo, Agogik, die kleinen und großen Bögen....alles so, wie ich es mir wünsche. Mon Dieu, danke, Matthias.
There is something different with this music , it's not a feeling it's not an impression it's the presence of something or someone big , huge you just can't describe it
First of all thank you to the NBS for making this work available for me to experience and appreciate. I must admit that I've not been familiar with this work before so it's a first time experience for me. First experiences of any musical work makes a massive impression on a persons brain, and indeed I found this performance highly pleasing, comforting and satisfying. I am certain that I shall return many times to experience this work. My chief (English colloquialism) "beef" is the description is of the written description of the key of D Minor in this work. I'm no musicologist by any means but a complete music lover and "worshipper" of Bach's compositions and so I was hoping for a better clarification of Bach's use of the key of D Minor in this work. Indeed it sound very unusual. As always my immense gratitude to NBS for presenting this video for my enjoyment, and indeed I have experienced tremendous joy from the performance from Matthias Havinga and please pass my warmest thanks to him and to all at NBS who have made this video possible for me to watch and enjoy. As Always, Greetings to you all form Port Morseby, Papua New Guinea.
Great to read that you enjoy this music so much! A bit more explanation about the key of D minor (and this work) can be found on our website: www.bachvereniging.nl/en/bwv/bwv-527/ But as always with Bach’s music: you don’t need in-depth knowledge to just love his music!
This middle movement was my first attempt to get into the organ sonatas. It was a magical discovery for me. At that time I had access to several pipe organs in various churches. All you needed was to build up a friendly and innocent relationship with the church secretary. They were usually in the church office during the day.
Wunderschöne und tiefempfundene Aufführung dieser perfekt komponierten Sonate im lyrischen Tempo mit durchsichtigen doch etwas warmherzigen Tönen der historischen Orgel sowie mit perfekt kontrollierter Dynamik. Wahrlich genialer Organist!
Sicherlich einer der BESTEN Trio Sonaten Interpretationen die ich seit langem gehört habe.👏👏👏BRAVO! Habe für mich selbst auch wieder neue Möglichkeiten gehört die ich bei meinem Orgelspiel bei den Sonaten sicherlich verbessern kann😅

In een woord prachtig. Ik luister veel naar de triosonatas, hebben een therapeutische werking. De versies die ik ken (olivier vernet) gaan vrij gehaast, deze uitvoering laat de contrasten beter horen. Mooi!

@Refletindo Sobre o Espaço Tanto voltar no tempo como ser contemporâneo: a música para órgão é imorredoura. Eu mesmo sou brasileiro e componho sempre que me vem um tema à mente. Inclusive o órgão (clássico ou erudito) é minha formação acadêmica em pleno Brasil. O instrumento desta gravação é famoso e, muitos entre outros que gravaram nele, foi o famoso alemão Walter Kraft (1905-1977) quando fez sua integral de Bach para órgão em 1967: aqui ele gravou os BWV 711, 695, 709, 632, 706, 633, 572, 720, 565 e 768.
@Refletindo Sobre o Espaço Curiosidade: o que conhece da literatura organística? Só sei que, salvo engano, é a que tem o repertório mais vasto registrado (anotado) para um só instrumento, excetuando a literatura vocal. Veja como o pessoal que postou aqui aprecia música para órgão: eu toquei em 1994 a convite dum professor alemão que, entre outras coisas, é organista, pianista, cravista, regente do coro da igreja onde toca (sucedendo ao posto que antes era do pai dele), musicólogo especializado na literatura norueguesa para órgão (esse foi o tema da tese de doutorado dele), além de me deixar de presente como prova de amizade e apreço um artigo intitulado "8 séculos de música para órgão", trabalho de intensa pesquisa realizada por ele numa época em que a internet acessível ainda dava seus primeiros passos. Tenho um outro amigo que, embora não seja cravista como o anterior, compõe belíssimas obras, das quais algumas estão disponíveis em partitura, e que me deu de presente, entre outras coisas, 6 prelúdios-corais para órgão recém-descobertos de Handel, que são verdadeiramente fora-de-série: aqui em Brasília, onde moro, devo ter feito a primeira apresentação deles a nível nacional ou pelo menos local. Agora vou ler o comentário do organista do vídeo sobre a obra que tocou: aposto que é interessante.

That Vivace movement is something else to play! I managed to learn the first two movements, then I looked at the third movement and immediately switched to look at Sonata #4.......
I know some Brazilian organists that told me to not use 16 stops for the pedals all the time: I think they are mistaken, because we must remember among many details the central movement of the 2nd trio sonata, BWV/S. 526 as clear example.

But if you can't be bothered listening to hundreds (if not thousands) of hours of his incredible music, just listen to a few minutes (or even a few seconds) of erudite opinion from someone who knows what they are talking about.
