How much more authentic this sounds, than several versions on modern organs. This sounds so refreshing, like Pachelbel probably intended! Thank for sharing this pearl.
This... This is probably one of the most touching, and brilliant interpretations of one of my favorite pieces by Pachelbel. Very well done, Mr. Winters!
In a past life, I worked briefly for an organ builder, mostly handling repairs and tuning as an apprentice. While I was fascinated by all organs, the most interesting ones were the small tracker instruments that were built to last centuries if properly maintained. To see the workings of this venerable instrument is a real pleasure, almost as much a pleasure as listening to your performance, which is sublime. Thank you very much for posting this performance.
What a coincidence! Just learned more about Pachelbel music on the radio while driving. And then this video came out. Not many words... Simply sublime ✨
Does anybody else recognize Buxtehude’s Ciacona in E Minor (BuxWV 160) in that main theme? It makes the communication between artists of this period in time so evident, same as the relationship between Bach and Buxtehude. The greats borrowed from the greats, inspiring the best. What a time it was for music.
Great to hear you playing organ again, Wim Thanks also from me to Johan Zoutendijk, director of Verschueren Orgelbouw , Hans van der Gouwe, VDGRecords and partner , Hubert Sergeant, member of church council
I like this piece so much, especially the single high note that keeps returning in the beginning. I cannot play the piano very well and that is an understatement and not modesty, but I can play the beginning of this piece and some of the variations. And I am very glad I can. So nice to hear it played as it should be played.
I think this is the best version of this piece I've ever heard. I really like it. Perfect tempo and registration. I especially loved that tremolo at the end. Very moving rendition. Thanks.
It's wonderful to see and hear you play the organ. What a beautiful sounding instrument and performance! It appears to be a very successful restoration. I'd love to see a series of you playing the historic organs of Europe - that would be quite a treat. Thanks
Sublime. A truly artistic performance that demands the listener to focus on the art. School of Velocity this is not, but I feel like my soul has been improved by just listening to this.
Unbelievably beautiful and moving. Sounds like it was written for that instrument. Such delicateness in every aspect. The trill at 1:18 is my favorite spot of the whole song.
@AuthenticSound what are your thoughts on playing the repeats on a softer registration (assuming you have two manuals available) on the second pass, similar to the Scheidt, etc echo fantasias?
Excellent upload, from every aspect: the choice of the piece and the registration for each variation, the actual playing, the sound of the instrument and the photo-editing. Bravo for all these and for your courage to play in 12 c. degree! Thanks a lot for sharing with us this unique experience.
Beautiful playing and your registrations give a comprehensive demonstration of the instrument's capabilities . I especially appreciated the"grands jeux" at Variation 9.
Maestro ❤️ in a time like this, I only send you love and appreciation, I hope you, Anja and your daughters are well! Dankie vir die beeldskone musiek! Greetings from South Africa!
I reluctantly went to hear your fingers, Wim, on such a beautyfull organ, as I am still in deep sorrow for having lost two friends organists: Hubert Schoonbroodt and his pupil, Carlo Hommel, both with young kids.
I love your choice of registration. When I leave the comfort of the piano, and dabble with organ playing, choosing registrations always takes me a ton of time. So many options. I hope we see more of this lovely instrument on your channel in the future: at least occasionally.
This is the first time for me to hear this piece. What a great composition and a great performance, too. I really liked the choice of registration for this performance. Well done!
I enjoyed your pacing and light ornamentation. The registration was interesting. A small organ with a great balance. Thanks for taking the time to make and share this video.
As a pianist turned Organist, it was amazing to hear the depth of tone colors you were able to achieve with just the one keyboard. You have inspired me. Bravo!
Everytime I see one of your videos, I think of organ music. Especially Bach's organ music seemed to me always to be played far to fast. The notes blur into each other easily in fast passages, and what you get is a very muddy sound, very hard for the listener to distinguish the pitches, and understand what's going on. A much much slower tempo seems so much more musically and makes so much more sense to me.
That's always the crazy thing to me about people who are obsessed with historically informed performance with organ music; they're obsessed with baroque organs because of how clear and articulate they are, but when it comes to playing Bach they always seem to want to rush it in a way that makes the beautiful harmony and counterpoint impossible to really hear.
This comes. Organists where playing too fast because they had no idea about expressivity. But with some studies, we know Bach was to be articulated in a differenciated manner. And this only in moderated tempi (at least so that it can be perceived). The new generation of organists will have this on their syllabus. No more "personal" interpretations, but historical interpretations.

This is a definitive performance, doesn't get any better than this. Bravo!

The organ sounds so sweet!

Just so beautiful... no words can be said that describe the beauty.
Wim. Beautiful, beautiful in calmness and resonance ❤️
Whatever I say won't do it justice... Thank you for sharing.

It's interesting in Baroque music to note that this descending is a fairly common motif (Pachelbel, Biber, Lully, Buxtehude).
wow, just wow
What a beautiful instrument, a beautiful performance, and a stunning composition!
What a wonderful gift! On a 'little' great organ, by so a precise and 'sensitive' performer, one would spend the whole day hearing ciaccone!
Very beautiful. Thank you, Wim.
Silbermann, eat your heart out!
Of course I'm joking, but what a rich sound from a small instrument. And wonderfully played. Thank you, Wim!
Thank you
I was waiting so long to hear you play organs, Wim. Thank you.
The organ is the intellects passage to greatness when he is finished learning from the piano.
Wim, whenever you have the chance, just throw some organ music in the channel. It will be surely loved!!!
I got teary-eyed not gonna lie..
Same here...😢😂😭😇☝️🙏
Me too!
Wonderful
Great to hear you playing organ again, Wim

Wim...many thank you's for sharing such a gift.
My pleasure!
Wonferful, moving performance. Thanks Wim
I love Pachelbel, both to hear and to play. You are truly a magnificent organist, Mr. Winters.

Bravo, gorgeous sound from that instrument
Wat klinkt dit mooi, Wim!
I think this is the best version of this piece I've ever heard. I really like it. Perfect tempo and registration. I especially loved that tremolo at the end. Very moving rendition. Thanks.
One word, Bravo!
I see at least two single beatniks viewed the video..
It's wonderful to see and hear you play the organ. What a beautiful sounding instrument and performance! It appears to be a very successful restoration. I'd love to see a series of you playing the historic organs of Europe - that would be quite a treat. Thanks

Wow! Beautiful!!!
Wonderfully peaceful music, wonderfully played. Thanks, Wim, you brought joy to a rainy evening.
Spettacolare!!!Non ci sono parole per descrivere questo bellissimo organo,complimenti Maestro per la magistrale esecuzione.
this is beautiful in so many ways, thank you!
Heavenly, that melody is stunningly beautiful
Wow... Very beautiful...
Wow, I don’t think I’ve ever heard such beautiful organ music! Beautiful timbres!
This is such an amazing piece. Wonderful to hear you play organ!
I have no words for this masterpiece: composer, organ builder, and master. Sublime!
Unbelievably beautiful and moving. Sounds like it was written for that instrument. Such delicateness in every aspect. The trill at 1:18 is my favorite spot of the whole song.
A moving piece played so masterfully. Thank you Wim.
Very wonderful pièce of music !
Lovely and moving performance on a wonderful instrument. Well done!
Made me shed a tear. Beautiful piece, and what a sound, I think I prefer this smaller, softer sound to some huge organ where you pull all the stops.
What Wonderful Sounds! What Beautiful Playing! What a Beautiful Instrument! Thank you!🥰🤗😘
I have waited SO long to hear you play the organ! A marvelous recording.
Also glad to hear somebody who does as I do and changes registration O-M each variation.
@AuthenticSound what are your thoughts on playing the repeats on a softer registration (assuming you have two manuals available) on the second pass, similar to the Scheidt, etc echo fantasias?
Beautiful! Thank you for this!
Ohhh Wim,zo mooi en zalig om je nog eens op orgel bezig te horen,waar het allemaal mee begonnen is,heel mooi stuk...!!!

Wow, this organ works very well for this..
That was lovely!
Maestro ❤️ in a time like this, I only send you love and appreciation, I hope you, Anja and your daughters are well! Dankie vir die beeldskone musiek! Greetings from South Africa!
How nice tone!
In Japan, there are many churches haven't a even little pipe organ.
Thank you for sharing this.
Gracias, saludos desde México 🇲🇽
The organ is fantastic in clarity and transparency and beautifully played.
Beautifully played ! I can see where your masterful ability to articulate on the piano and clavichord comes from :-)
Amazing, pure perfection.
I reluctantly went to hear your fingers, Wim, on such a beautyfull organ, as I am still in deep sorrow for having lost two friends organists: Hubert Schoonbroodt and his pupil, Carlo Hommel, both with young kids.
Beautiful piece, beautifully played!
Pocas versiones me embelesan tantísimo cómo ésta. Por todas las razones posibles. Gracias, maestro.
I love your choice of registration.
When I leave the comfort of the piano, and dabble with organ playing, choosing registrations always takes me a ton of time. So many options.
I hope we see more of this lovely instrument on your channel in the future: at least occasionally.
Registration still takes a while for experienced organists too. Frequently, you have to choose one out of multiple suitable registrations.
Wat fijn om van je horen, Wim. Prachtige muziek op een prachtig instrument, en knap uitgevoerd. Groeten uit Tongeren.
Wow what a gem!
I have been waiting for some organ music for ages! Thanks! And please do more on the organ.
This is the first time for me to hear this piece. What a great composition and a great performance, too. I really liked the choice of registration for this performance. Well done!
Meraviglioso!
A truly beautiful take on my favorite Pachelbel work. Thank you!
Bravo!!!👏👏👏
I enjoyed your pacing and light ornamentation. The registration was interesting. A small organ with a great balance. Thanks for taking the time to make and share this video.
Excellent, bro!!!!
organo stupendo, esecuzione spettacolare! grazie!
Wonderful! Beautiful interpretation my friend!
Lovely performance, with wonderful rubato. The stop changes are musically executed, too . What a great instrument and acoustic... thanks!
Beautiful. So good job.
The flute stops are incredible!! Lovely playing
Thank you very much Mr Winters. So much inspired.
I wish I could phrase like that, you are amazing I love your channel I wish I could come to Belgium and listen to you play
As a pianist turned Organist, it was amazing to hear the depth of tone colors you were able to achieve with just the one keyboard. You have inspired me. Bravo!
Superbe interprétation. Grand Merci !
What a lovely, tightly-constructed work, and well realized on this charming instrument that has a heart - and a bite!
Thank you for bringing beauty to life!
Beautiful voicing.
It's always nice to hear you on organ!
Wow. I enjoyed that very much. Thank you.
Es fabuloso ver el secreto de un órgano, ver como se activan las teclas y los registros. Y obviamente, la obra es hermosa.
Hmmm... Wonderful!
Thanks for recording this. It sounds really good.
beautiful
You should make more videos on that organ

CaptainBohnenbrot this is musical fact for organ
Bravo!
Fabulous !!!!
Amazing, this has encouraged me to explore more of Pachelbel's works
Thanks!
Loved this performance... just incredible playing and what an amazing organ! Thanks for recording and sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Lindo! Perfeito! Divinal! Impecável performance!
