All I can say is "amazing". I am so happy to see that there are still young people willing to do what is required to keep music like this alive and to keep the "king of instruments" alive.
I've heard many, many performances of this famous, venerable work by JSB. But never, until I heard this version, have I ever felt that the performer truly understood not just what Bach intended with this piece, but truly understood the full potential of which this piece is capable! WOW !!! 😮 ❤
You don't necessarily "Get" Bach after years in a Conservatory or, for that matter, in service to a church, but all of that can be a priceless experience. It comes when you hear a young man perform BWV 582 as we have heard with Sebastian. Can't you just imagine Bach looking down from Heaven and saying, "Now that's what I'm talking about". Watching this young kid playing the organ literally puts me in a trance. Is it possible he is not from Earth?
Absolument fabuleux. Magnifique interprétation, très orchestrée et soulignant toute les ressources de la partition. Un grand merci pour ce partage, Maestro..
My father was an organist, and even I dabbled a bit with organ playing when I was in high-school. But I grew up in the 50s and 60s listening mostly to Virgil Fox and E. Power Biggs, and since they are long gone, I feared that the art of organ playing might disappear entirely. Very few churches can afford to maintain a pipe organ, and many have either abandoned the organ altogether, or have opted for an electronic instrument. So, thank you, Mr. Heindl, for restoring my faith in a younger generation's willingness to preserve the great musical traditions of the king of instruments. The Passacaglia and Fugue is my favorite of Bach's organ works, and you knocked it out of the park. Your voicings were magnificent, and from the foreboding introduction of the theme by the pedals, to the glorious conclusion of the fugue, you never allow the listener to forget that principal theme. Which is as it should be. What good is fugal composition if the principal subject is buried in an avalanche of other notes, never to be heard from again? You kept reminding us, with a variety of uniquely wonderful registrations. I'm sure you made JSB proud.
7:21 can you feel the passion? strong emotions? bury me with this piece, kill me with this piece. I was a teenage when I first heard it. now i'm 40 and still impressive
This is extraordinary! There is always something new to find in Bach's music, I believe that was always his intention with everything he wrote, but this is something else! The consummate musicianship combined with a superb instrument is precisely what Bach hoped would become of his music. Wowzers!!
A truly magnificent performance, Sebastian, of the Passacaglia in C minor by J S Bach. I think your interpretation of this wonderful piece was memorable, made so by your playing, choice of stops and the use of the swell to uniquely demonstrate how you feel the C minor Passacaglia should sound. Congratulations! Vielen Dank und die herzlichsten Wünsche für Ihre musikalische Zukunft
Just came back to listen again to this masterpiece of interpretation and playing skills by Sebastian again after having watched the interpretation of Jonathan Scott from his recent concert on the brand new Great Rieger Organ of Sy Marys Basilica in Krakow Poland. Both are romantic interpretations on a huge organ with a great acoustic and using the full resources of the organ and when listening to them together the similarities and differences are striking but both are fantastic interpretations and both make you cry with joy at the musicality. Hope one day Sebastian & Jonathan can meet and Jonathan's >100K subscriber base find Sebastian's channel.
I especially love how you added such passion to the last few measures of the Fugue, and especially your interpretation of the final chords.. It gave me an adrenaline rush!!
La plus belle interprétation de la Passacaille en ut Mineur que j'ai écouté et vue. Une précision et de nouvelles impulsions qui suscitent l'admiration.. Ce Sébastien qui porte le même prénom que son Maître compositeur qui a débuté dans les choeurs des Thomaners est vraiment Génial !!! Je suis fan. Un bel élan de jeunesse redonné à cette belle oeuvre majeure du répertoire de l'orgue.
wow, das war wirklich einfach nur grandios!! phantastisch gespielt und die registrierung war wirklich toll. ich bin bei "exotischen" registrierungen zugegebenerweise häufiger mal skeptisch eingestellt, aber diese hier war echt super - sicher weil es nicht total übertrieben war (einfach weil man es auf biegen und brechen mal komplett anders machen will), sondern maßvoll, durchdacht und geschmackvoll; es bringt wunderbar neue farben in dieses zeitlos geniale werk ohne dass man als zuhörer überfordert wird. bravo!!
Organ transcription of the orchestral transcription of an organ piece. It’s brilliant!!! I can nearly feel the breath of Respighi. And I feel the breath you’ve given to the pipes, each stops group like an orchestral section. Amazing and innovative interpretation, Bravissimo!!!
🥰I must admit to my music 🎶 addiction to the Pipe Organs! Especially just listening 👂 to that Out Of The Ball Park Performance 😮😮🤩🤩😎I know Please No Pictures Lol. I have herd that same piece played by the best and interesting 🤔 On How Incredibly different each Organist Plays The Same Piece but The Contrast in Styles of Playing, Self Interpretation, Your Very own choice of Picking Out the Registration For Colorization to this magnificent Organ Piece. I have been a huge fan of you and you’re music 🎼 performances. Bravo 👏 my dear friend!
Toute mon admiration pour cette vigueur, cette nervosité et cette sensibilité qui me rappelle un certain Pierre Pincemaille que j'ai suivi durant trente ans, à Saint-Denis, et surtout ailleurs, et que je retrouve dans les rythmes, la registration, tirant parti des possibilités de l'instrument. Architecte en Chef de Notre-Dame de Paris, je rêve de vous écouter un jour sous les voûtes de "ma" cathédrale ! PhV.
I love the variation of the different stops and the amount of control over that instrument. The best version I heard! Btw, notice the fly at 3:27 landing on a stop, right before getting kicked off again :D
Nicely structured and very creative. The organ sounds like a caricature of the ‘real’ thing though, with the playing to match. BTW The manuscript bears the marking: pro organo pleno, without any further indications.
Wow i ma really impressed by your playing and registration...we hear this piece most of the time in one registration from start till end...but where is the point to build the organ with numerous register and few manuals if we used only one combination. passacaglia is a perfect music to show the capabilities of an organ...from one register to all out. And i really like your playing for me it is a mix of Chapuis and Richter 😮😮😮 . Just cuntinue like that.
Wonderful. I have always thought the quiet opening and terraced registration the perfect setup, once I heard it played that way by Power Biggs on the Harvard Flentrop. MInd you, I only had 25 stops on my Casavant, so I didn't have much choice. lol
What are you talking about. The type of action has nothing at all to do with the clarity of the music. It was proven long ago by some of the best builders in the world that the chest action has nothing to do with clarity of tone or anything else. It is all in the voicer's hands and the way the pipes are built. You tracker freaks have cause the ruination or outright destruction of some of the greatest organs in the world. Fads come and go but the artistic works of a builder should never be destroyed in the name of a fad. In fact the lack of clarity here is in the reverb. It is not the organ or the performer.
Es gibt auf RUclips einige wirklich gute Einspielungen dieses großartigen Werkes von Bach. Diese zählt m.E. nicht dazu. Warum? Bach wird romantisiert. Was sollen der Einsatz des Schwellwerks, die sehr häufigen Manualwechsel und die permanenten Änderungen in der Registrierung sowie die nicht gerade seltenen Änderungen der Tempi? Es ist verbürgt, dass Bach selbst nie so spielte. Anstatt eine Steigerung mit wesentlich weniger Mitteln zu erreichen, wird hier ein fantastisches Orgelwerk nach Belieben des Künstlers zu einem zirzensischen Schaulauf. Wohlgemerkt: Heindl hat eine großartige Begabung, aber er spielt hier Heindl, nicht Bach. Wer eine wirklich adäquate Interpretation der Passacaglia hören und sehen möchte, sei z.B. auf die Liveaufnahme von Jean Paul Imbert hier auf RUclips verwiesen.
jeder wie er mag, es muß ja auch nicht immer authentisch sein. Man mag doch gerne das Werk interpretieren, wie es einem selbst gefällt. Ich find es konzertal.
'Er spielt hier Heindl, nicht Bach' ... -What do you know about that? Bach has been dead for centuries. He developed his music throughout his life. Where would he have been today? We do not know anything about that. Missisippi blues? Black metal? Life and music is dynamic, always evolving. So are we. Please do not try elevate yourself to become an authority on Bach 2022. Today, he may not have chosen the organ as his means to express his music at all. I am only 75 and have still much to learn. But this particular piece as interpreted by Heindl tops all, -so far. -but I keep looking, -and listening...
Ich vermute, Sie kennen die Orchester-Transkription von Respigi gar nicht? Denn darum gjng es hier ja. Haindl re-transkribiert eine spätromantische Orchester-Transkription zurück auf die Orgel. Ein faszinierendes Musik-Experiment vom derzeit vielleicht besten Organisten überhaupt! Bin immer wieder sprachlos!!
@@markusriebschlager497 O doch, ich kenne die Respighi-Transkription sehr wohl. Natürlich "kann" man das machen. Mir geht es darum, dass die kompositorische Intention Bachs respektiert wird. Wenn man eine spätromantische Orchester-Transkription der Passacaglia zurück auf die Orgel , also das Instrument , für das Bach das Werk schrieb, "retranskribiert", dann komme ich nicht an seinem barocken Charakter vorbei. Anderes Beispiel: Es gibt einige wirklich gute Transkriptionen von Lisztschen Orchesterwerken für (romantisch disponierte) Orgel. Auf RUclips spielt Helmut Deutsch an der Cavaille-Coll-Orgel in St.Sulpice seine eigene Transkription des hochromantischen Orchesterwerks "Les Preludes", eine geniale romantische Adaptation, auf einer symphonischen Orgel. Eine barocke Transkription, gespielt auf einer Silbermann-Orgel, ist für mich schlicht unvorstellbar.

Today, March 21, I am celebrating the birth of J. S. Bach by listening to your brilliant interpretation of his Passacaglia in C minor
How does this prodigious organist not have at least ten times the subscribers he currently has?? I’m such a fan. Thank you Sebastian!

Music never ages. Thanks Dad...
Brillant and amazing interpretation. The different themes were clearly expressed.
For a moment, I was just sitting in this church. Thank you.
Bravo!
This is extraordinary! There is always something new to find in Bach's music, I believe that was always his intention with everything he wrote, but this is something else! The consummate musicianship combined with a superb instrument is precisely what Bach hoped would become of his music. Wowzers!!
that was wonderfully done.. just wonderful to see this piece being done by a younger person with such precision and touch. exceptional job!
A master at work!
this is awesome!

What a rendition. Splendid! Superb! Well done Sebastian!
Your genius is showing! Thanks for sharing your love of this music with all of us.
A truly passionate performance.
Brilliante Registrierung und eine traumhafte Interpretation dieses "Mega-Orgelwerkes" vom alten Bach. Ich bin sehr beeindruckt!
Magnificent Sebastian
You captured the pathos of this masterpiece wonderfully. Congrats
The most beautiful interpretation of Passacaglia I have listened, and played by heart!! Amazing!
A new interpretation of Bach. Have never heard this before. Many masters can disagree but it has a right to be
Organ transcription of the orchestral transcription of an organ piece. It’s brilliant!!! I can nearly feel the breath of Respighi. And I feel the breath you’ve given to the pipes, each stops group like an orchestral section. Amazing and innovative interpretation, Bravissimo!!!
Hola , a qué se refiere al decir que es una interpretación de un tema de respighi?
Speechless in NC.
Bravo, bravo, bravo!!! 👏👏👏
Can you feel the power of Bach? One of Bach's greatest. And your interpretation has uncovered the knob of the deepest essences. Great job.
Bravo!....I enjoyed it .... Very refreshing!
Brilliant. Beautiful voicing and superb performance. Really appreciate that you share your artistry.
Meisterhafter Umgang mit dem Nachhall von 5 Sekunden, besonders 5:30 bis 6:22 und ab 8:21
Absolutely stunning! Brilliant! Feels heavenly. 🥰
Glorious
this is real good Sebastian

& Jhr. Humphrey, It is amazing of Brilliant. Merci.
It is a good, inventive performance.
Your ending was as dramatic as your hair, socks, and white pants. Gorgeous rendition with ample emotion!
Very nice!
Goddamn BRILLIANT!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
The creative registrations are amazing! Really brings new colors to this magical piece!
I know about finger substitution but hadn't the slightest idea that organists also do foot substitution!
Always the best interpretation.
I love the variation of the different stops and the amount of control over that instrument. The best version I heard!
Btw, notice the fly at 3:27 landing on a stop, right before getting kicked off again :D
I prefer his performance more than many others
Excelente, bravo
Wunderbar!! St. Mathias, Berlin. Seifert Orgel. Amazing!!
Il finale è da brividi!❤
non solo il finale
Een buitengewoon knappe registratie!
Nicely structured and very creative. The organ sounds like a caricature of the ‘real’ thing though, with the playing to match.
BTW The manuscript bears the marking: pro organo pleno, without any further indications.
Increíble

Amazing!
Geweldig!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yet beautiful
bravo
GRANDIOS
It's eerily atmospheric
well done brother
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
W A U W
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏браво
❤️💕💕
0:06 what registers did he used for pedal?
Definitely 32' reeds of some sort, but cant say for sure
Where is this beautiful church?
St Matthias, Berlin
Am besten Spielen von diesem Bach werke, Prima!
There's some staccato where there shouldn't be, but otherwise a lot better than I can play it. Very good indeed
The notes lack clarity. It's the organ, (not tracker) not the player. He's amazing!
