Rockstar, Babas. Great job. Once again, idiots disliked this video. Who are these people?
Anyhow, the USA is proud to have you as a citizen. You should be teaching at the highest conservatory in the country, whichever one that is.
Wtf is up with the ads though?? Are you that popular now? Wow. Super rockstar.
You inspire me. And shame me totally, too.
Wish we could see who dislikes your videos. Jealous losers.
Also, how many cameras are in this video? There are close-ups of your hands and face but the cameras are absent. Great job on the Hollywood magic.
Amazing acoustics for such a small space
This is brilliant. Thank you for sharing this with us. I've been marathoning your Bach Organ works concerts, and imagine my surprise when another installment of your series had just uploaded! Do complain to RUclips that their broken algorithm is calling copyright on what is obviously an original performance owned by you. Those accidental interlopers don't need to be getting royalties from your hard work and genius.
If you ever get the opportunity to demo/perform on the Bach organ at Goshen College, please do! It is a beautiful Taylor & Boody in the Lehman temperament, and I'd love to hear what your astonishing fingers could do with it. God has given you a very special talent, and is honored by your sharing it with us. Thank you for all you do for those few of us who still recognize great music!
I love the long trills you add in the 3rd movement of BWV 529! A proof you have been playing clavichord lately.
Love it when you split the screen to enable seeing your foot work too!
Beautiful playing on a wonderful organ! Bravo, Balint Karosi!!
Thank you for these seventy seven minutes of elegance.
We are enjoying your stellar performance of Bach’s organ works on a modern instrument in the baroque style. Kudos, Baliant!
What wonderful chapel, organ and music.
People looks great that is playing in front of organ whose like sacred temple. wow, It was Balint karosi.
Awesome performance again. I always listen to your performances without watching you play. It lets me listen carefully. Then I watch again and see your performance. I cannot fault anything in this performance. The compositions fit the smaller organ and the acoustic is awesome. I have listened to this organ on Loft Recordings. It is a well made organ. Very balanced. Nothing to showy or flamboyant. Thanks for making and sharing this fine prformance.
Beautiful location, beautiful organ, beautiful music! Thank you, Balint Karosi!
Outstanding performance Balint on a stunning instrument! And thanks for keeping organ improvisation alive.
Great! Absolutely amazing performance.
Pure joy and a lovely gift to your listeners. Thank you!
Many thanks for this series of the Bach organ works. You make it look so easy to play!! Which, of course, is not at all the truth. I appreciate very much that you put the registration that you use on screen. It helps, in my humble opinion, to appreciate even more both the limitations and flexibility of the instruments (how DOES he get so many sounds out of so few stops???). Again, many thanks for all your hard work.
Merci 🙏
Beautifully clean and crisp - and in a stunning setting
Just about as beautifully perfect as it can get! THANK YOU, Balint.
Love this organ. Wonderfully performed. Thank you so much.
Thank you for the music. Wonderful performance 🎵❤️
What an incredible instrument! And a wonderful interpretation of Bach.
Köszönöm Szépen!
Szívesen!
Wonderful music played on a fabulous organ. I like the Quintadena 8' very much! Great job!
@@chronochromie772 Yes of course! 😉
That’s lovely
Outstanding!
это восхитительно! спасибо!
Lovely clear bell like sound. I like to hear all parts and the little cadenza in the fugue works really well.
Very great👌
Very nice! What is the piece that you can hear in the intro called?
Balint, I love your videos and I always look forward to new ones that come out. I especially like that you show your registrations. However, I'm going to have to take issue with your registrations for the Fantasia in G Major. This is one of my favorite pieces, first hearing it and learning to love it from Gillian Weir's performance on the Bach Organ at St. Thomaskirche (Organ Master Series Volume 4). Probably the greatest experience I've ever had is to simply be submerged in that organ's principal chorus throughout the second portion of that piece. In contrast, the high amount of reediness you used causes the whole thing to fall flat. Instead of reveling in the gloriosity of the sound, I just anxiously waited for the next section to arrive. Knowing what that piece is capable of only heightened my disappointment. I'm sorry to be a downer--I usually really enjoy your registrations and interpretation, but I wanted to give you some feedback in the hopes that it might be helpful and also give you a chance to defend your registration choice if you are so inclined. I'm always happy to see from a different perspective, so I'd love to know why you chose the choices you chose--Thanks
Hi Kimbal,
Thanks for your comment. I assume you are dissatisfied with my registration choices for the middle section of BWV 572. There are a couple equally valid choices for that piece as it represents somewhat an anomaly in Bach’s oeuvre. Du Mage’s Livre begins somewhat like BWV 572 a free petit plein jeu followed by a grand plein jeu. I usually use a plein jeu registration for the middle section with sometimes a 16’ and a strong pedal trompette 8’ or a Posaune 16’. As for the current rendition, I have made a choice of using a “grands jeux” registration to offer a contrast within the context of the recital as a whole; I have had two preludes and fugues and an improvisation with a mixture plenum, so I opted for some variety. I wish the posaune was softer, a bit more blending for the middle section of BWV 572 though.
@@bkarosi Balint, thanks so much for your response. I don't like sounding critical, but I think this line of questioning can be educational, so I hope you don't mind. I'm just going to add this: While I appreciate a well-thought-out recital, I'd happily give up the extra variety in order to be able to bask for 5 minutes in the center section of BWV 572 rendered in the glories of a full plenum with no reeds, tierces, strings, etc., just principal unisons and fifths from 16' up to the shortest, most brilliantly voiced mixtures you can find. There was no basking to be had in the Grand Jeu. I feel like this piece is to the organ (principal chorus) what the Prelude of Cello Suite No. 1 is to the cello. It completely justifies the existence of the instrument. This is entirely subjective, of course, and I recognize that I'm 1 data point in a million, but if I don't speak up, I'm not a very useful data point. So, if you ever come across an organ with a full, rich, balanced principal chorus that you would like to show off, I would love to hear it done with this piece. Thanks again for your informative and engaging videos! -- Kimball P.S. I must admit that the most detracting part of that center section is the Posaune that thinks it is playing a solo. Of course, with no reeds in the manuals, you could probably have gotten away with no reeds in the pedals (since you did have a 16' principal in the pedal, no?)
Gratulálok!
You, my friend, are and absolutely amazing organist! I have gotten hooked on your videos of stop tours and improvisations as of lately, they are amazing! This is beautiful music, played my a master.
Unfortunately, the organ I play regularly is electric, with strictly digital voices, so I thoroughly appreciate you posting such beautiful music on such authentic instruments. An electric organ can never perfectly reproduce such fragile sounds.
Edit: That chiffy flute at 11:36 is gorgeous, what is the stop name?
What's the music in the intro?
Anyone please? Sounds amazing
Are there CD´s of that Recording? And when yes are they also abel to buy by german traders? I hope that Organ is still used (on non-covid-times) in services and not only the piano or bandmusic?
I am working on releasing this CD. Will be in the next few weeks. The others are released on iTunes CD Baby etc. I think the organ is still being used along with other types of music.
The temperament sounds like something close to 1/6-comma to me, although I could be wrong. Is it a meantone or is it one of the funky ones like a Werckmeister or Kirnberger?
It is Kellner
Music can only do its job if the doctors and engineers in medical research and development are willing to be inspired by the old masterworks. After all, Bach went blind, Beethoven went deaf, and Mozart died in his early thirties.
8:45 too fast
@@chronochromie772 wow. Bully big man
Bach is perhaps alone among baroque composers in needing no added ornamentation - it's usually already built in. The flourish in the pause in the fugue of BWV 541 is entirely superfluous and completely disrupts the flow of the piece. A pity, really, because I like your playing otherwise, and the organs you play on are magnificent.
On what do you base your assertion of Bach being an exception among Baroque composers? Personal taste? A fermata indicates a place to improvise a cadenza. There are a couple written out realizations of such cadenzas like at the end of BWV 588 “the ornamented version.” Even though it is a later copy, it indicates and existing tradition. Smaller ornaments can also be added freely to Bach with taste see the same example or the ornamented version of BWV 582. Again, a later copy and probably exaggerated, but it indicates a tradition. Read relevant passages in Mattheson, Adlung, CPE Bach and Quantz treatises before asserting a baseless claim.
We will look forward to your rendition without the superfluous flourish in the 541 😉
@@james.flores yeah, or any rendition for that matter.
geminian7846, quote: "The flourish in the pause of BWV 541 is entirely superfluous and completely disrups the flow of the piece." geminian, when discussing performances of old music, we must ALWAYS remember that some musicians belong to the HIP-tradition. I think that Balint Karosi is among the HIP-musicians, and we all should be happy about that! Karosi is among the very very few who try to recreate the original style at the "pause." It's not a pause, but a cadenza. Fermater in such places means that the composer gave the musicians the opportunity to improvise, and to show their playing technical skills. Unfortunately, Karosi's attempt is all to short. He should had included a virtuos pedal solo, and fast races in the manual. Otherwise I am totally agree with you. The organ sounds great and Balint Karosi is one of few I listening to with pleasure.
