Wonderful playing! Buxtehude's instrumental music (particularly) always exhibits a joyful freedom, exuberance, and a fluid improvisational style. Long live Herr Buxtehude! 👍 ❤️
I am just so grateful that we have people in the world who can play like this, people who built this magnificent instrument and people who wrote music like this
John Melville ! … grateful for living in this world, at the same time as these gifted musicians , and listening whenever we choose, [RUclips} …. and all the important composers that enlighten our soul and spirit !
All acting in concert, overcoming the bounds of time and space to produce one perfect holy and eternal hymn of glory to the first cause, alpha and omega, while unending ages run.
Brilliant! A lot of people involved here, the composer, the superb organist, the organ builders and maintainers and those following the playing, pulling the stops and turning the pages. My thanks and blessing to all of them. May music always be so
@@johnhudelson2652 Large instruments like this one required several boys to do the bellows. They were probably paid some pocket change to do that on Sundays.
This is absolutely glorious. The music, instrument, player and interpretation are as perfect as one could hope for. I am the head voicer of a British organ builder and I would love to come and hear this organ in the flesh. There is much to learn from it. Many thanks for posting this.
Anne-Gaelle please, please, please may we have some more RUclips videos? Pretty please! There are people, such as myself, all over the planet who will be enriched by hearing your playing.

One of the best organ performances I've ever heard (and I date back to E. Power Biggs!). Superb registration that exploits the glorious instrument to its fullest potential. Simply stunning! Merci!!
Strange to ee how the youngsters play in such raggedy daily wear, and or bob their heads and sway orgiastically at the music. That said, their performances are often excellent, better, in some cases - as here - than the older performaers gave.
@@georgeberger8974 I date back to the pipe organ in my home in the 1940s. Unfortunately it was not in working order when I started playing musical instruments, otherwise.....
What an amazing performance! It is light, sparkling and of a perfect articulation and speed!!! I love how she "shows off" in the parts which require a furious Stylus Fantasticus! Exactly how it is meant to Sound.
Well, there's more Ahrend (modern) than the glorious Arp here... Unfortunately. Noordbroek, much smaller but really the first original Schnitger, has much more character. I played both in concert.
@Albert Rieder The base of this instrument is from the 15th century, by an anonymous Dutch organ builder. Around 1482, it was expanded by master Johan. He was from Appingedam (Groningen, Netherlands) and is also known as Johan t(h)en Damme. Advisor was "the Erasmus of the North" Rudolf Agricola (from Baflo, also Groningen). New enlargements took place in 1542 and 1564, most of them by Andreas De Mare (originally from Gent, Belgium). Later, in the 17th century, there were renovations and enlargements by Dutch organ builders Anthony Verbeeck and Jan Helman. The latter could not finish his work, and in 1691 the famous Arp Schnitger (from Hamburg, Germany) took over. He repaired the old parts and built the pedal towers. A new Rugwerk was built by his son, Franz Caspar Schnitger sr., who already lived in Zwolle (NL). This work was finished by Albertus Anthoni Hinsz, also born in Germany but living in the Netherlands. Hinsz did a 2nd repair in 1740. Dutch builders (a.o. Lohman, Van Oeckelen, Doornbos and De Koff) worked on the organ in the 19th/20th century. In 1975 it was decided that the organ was to be renovated by Jürgen Ahrend (Leer, Germany), based on extensive research by Cor Edskes. Ahrend kind of brought the instrument back to the situation of 1740 (when Hinsz had finished his work). So, summarized, I would say this lovely instrument is more or less a North European organ, with many many influences, from Renaissance to late baroque. Of the 19th century, only 4 stops remained (3 by Lohman and 1 by Van Oeckelen). Jürgen Ahrend did a magnificent job to restore and repair it!
We should hear more from Ms.Chanon, and Buxtehude played on this Schnitger organ. There is something about these organs which still shines over the centuries. Her playing is wonderful.
In the fleetness, clarity, and grace of this performance, the composition is fully revealed without heaviness or pedantry, in all its lyricism and mystery. A performer to stand beside Walcha. Magnificent.
A wonderful interplay of a wonderful composition of a wonderful composer, played by a wonderful organist, with a wonderful registration, with the help of a wonderful sound master, on the wonderful Martini-Schnitger organ.... Great work madam Chanon and Jan Willem!
...ob da drinnen die Engel oder vielleicht die Nixen sängen, aber ich weiß nichts davon und sage: das muß eine Spieldose sein! Doch, Orgelmusik!!! Ausgezeichnet!! Alles hab' ich genoßen!! Vielen Dank.
Thrilling to hear and to watch. Such a treat. Playing with such expression and sight-reading too. I'm almost in shock hearing something as good as this.
Interprétation magistrale, registration exceptionnelle, orgue grandiose....Une invitation à redécouvrir le talent de Marie-Claire Alain dans sa maîtrise de la musique d'orgue du génial Jean-Sébastien Bach!
Dom Pascacio Retler, a cultured and pious German Bishop, retired, in Brasil ,as Hospital Chaplain Priest, where I was CEO, said , many times to me, when we listened baroque classical music together: "When the Angels plays to God , they play Buxtehude and Bach; but , when alone , between them , they play Vivaldi and Mosart... a good musical recipe, no?
On possibly the best organ in the world (!) this lady has style and a clear understanding of the instrument, the acoustics, and the music of Buxtehude. Fantastic.
The Arp Schnitger Organ in my town looks better, doesn't sound worse, so I would prefer to call the one In Groningen the second best in the world ;-) Granted, it's a close second.
Beautifully played. Such a magnificent organ. I'm sure the great contemporary German organ builder Jürgen Ahrend had a hand in the sound of this matchless instrument.
Yes he did restore it. A modern day Arp Schnitger indeed. Remarkably Jurgen Ahrend's new builds such as his 1981 organ commission for the Musée des Augustins / Église St. Augustin in Toulouse (Haute-Garonne) are as good a quality sound as this organ.
That's why Bach went to met Buxtehude, outstanding performance and greetings from Mexico Mexico Me
Bravo bravo bravo brilliance fantastic grandiose music organa
Wonderful playing!
Buxtehude's instrumental music (particularly) always exhibits a joyful freedom, exuberance, and a fluid improvisational style. Long live Herr Buxtehude! 👍 ❤️
This is the finest possible organ-playing and interpretation by Anne-Gaëlle Chanon. Great work on the registrations! Greetings from Canada!
This is the Best Version of course
So nice to hear the combination of Buxtehude and this organ. They are made for each other! Soft and clear voices and grand, when needed.
I am just so grateful that we have people in the world who can play like this, people who built this magnificent instrument and people who wrote music like this
John Melville ! … grateful for living in this world, at the same time as these gifted musicians , and listening whenever we choose, [RUclips} …. and all the important composers that enlighten our soul and spirit !
Literally!

Simply wow. How can 63 people give this a thumbs down?
Jolie Madame , c'est excellent ....... et Merci Monsieur Buxtehude , vous êtes parmi les Grands .
Brilliant! A lot of people involved here, the composer, the superb organist, the organ builders and maintainers and those following the playing, pulling the stops and turning the pages. My thanks and blessing to all of them. May music always be so
Yes, this is definitely one organ that requires "co-pilots". always wonderful to watch.
And just think in the days before electric blowers, you had to have at least one person working the bellows.
@@johnhudelson2652 Large instruments like this one required several boys to do the bellows. They were probably paid some pocket change to do that on Sundays.
And a little bit of narcissism .....
Amazing performance Anne!! Thanks so much. Love Buxtehude. So did JSB!
L'inventivité de Buxtehude sous les doigts d'Anne-Gaëlle Chanon est un inoubliable régal. Léo Houziaux
Thank-you, Thank-you Maestro Chanon. You put coherency back into Buxtehude by performing it as it should be performed. Again, thanks and admiration.
It's enough to make you cry with joy.
So uplifting!

You mean, "in person". Pipe-organs don't have flesh...lol
@@CLASSICALFAN100 No he meant 'flesh'--his own.
@@CLASSICALFAN100 because you would have to explain to him what a pipe organ has or doesn't have.

I’m sure we would all be enriched if Anne-Gaëlle Chanon posted more performances but the question is would she be ‘enriched’ ?

Magnifique et superbe!!!
Toujours Émouvant d écouter le Grand Maître , Buxtehude , du Grand Maître , Bach 🙏🏼
Wonderful instrument and the Buxtehude Toccata in F major 157 played with great Skill and dexterity by a brilliant and talented young female organist.
Technicité et facilité énorme pour se frotter à Buxtehude avec un son magnifique. Un régal merci
What an instrument! What a performance! This is perfect.
Dear Anne - thank you for this wonderful performance! I particularly loved the registration change at 3:07.
Great registration work, I love those timbres. That one on 3:00 sounds like it's from out of this world.
If I had to guess, it sounds like an 8' regal combined with an 8' Quintadena (or possibly combined with Gedeckt 8' and Nazard 2-2/3')
Deze vrouw heeft bewezen hoe mooi Buxtehude is
Bravo Anne-Gaëlle, brillante interprétation !!!
Riche registration et enregistrement de grande qualité sur ce sublime Schnitger !
Merci.
Buxtehude literally taught J S Bach everything he knew about organ composition. A sublime work with great range. Expertly and wonderfully played here.
La clarté de votre interprétation est un authentique bonheur. Merci.
Bravo! A superb performance on an iconic famous Dutch organ.

Stumbled on this.
Stumbled from now on.
Beautifil timing, beautiful swing and poetry !
Aristocratic, monumental, iconic and stupefyingly gorgeous.
Namaste 🙏
Honestly for me, doesn’t get much better than this. Such intelligent playing, varying tempos, registrations. Wonderful; thank you.
Just right!
BUXTEHUDE- ANNE GAELLE : THIS IS HEAVENLY, THANKS FOR THIS PERFORMING.

What a brilliant interpretation - on a grand scale! Thank you, and with warm greetings from South Africa!
KILLER! SO good! What a wonderfully beautiful and broad sound! Amazing teamwork! Insanely good organist!
What more can I say God is truly manifested in this rendition of Bach organ music. An angel is playing with all her brilliance and beauty
famous Jazz singer Nina Simone stated : in the music of Bach I feel the closest to GOD
Can you explain what you mean bij 'God'? And do I understand it correctly that the epithet 'angel' is for the lady at the manual?
@@JPGroen, once people start confusing Buxtehude for Bach, an organist's quick legs for an angel's wings, does it matter if they worship dog?
Absolutely magnificent. And this instrument seems "made" for Buxtehude.
Superb technique and interpretation; excellent stop choice showcasing the colors of this wonderful instrument!
Magnificently played!
par ces temps difficiles, merci de nous réveiller et d'espérer
Yesss! Wonderful! Thank you!
Bravo !!! Et merci pour cette enrichissante nourriture musicale et artistique, si nécessaire !!!
