Jacques van Oortmerssen (Rotterdam, the Netherlands, 1950) studied at the Conservatory of Rotterdam, where he completed his soloist diplomas for both the organ, as a student of André Verwoerd, and for piano as a student of Elly Salomé. Thereafter he undertook postgraduate study with Marie-Claire Alain in Paris (France). He was awarded the Prix d' Excellence in 1976.
In 1977 he won first prize in the National Improvisation Competition in Bolsward (NL) and was runner-up in the Tournemire Prize in St Albans (England). He has been professor of organ at the Conservatory of Amsterdam (NL) since 1979, where his organ class attracts students from many countries.
In 1982 he succeeded Gustav Leonhardt as Organiste Titulaire of the Waalse kerk in Amsterdam, where he plays the famous 1734 Christian Müller organ. Jacques van Oortmerssen enjoys an international reputation as both soloist and pedagogue, in which context he is regularly invited to teach at Universities and Conservatories throughout the world.
He has been leader of the Falun Organ Academy in Falun (Sweden) for many years since 1984, was Betts Fellow in Organ Studies at the University of Oxford (England) during the 1993-1994 academic year and Associate Professor at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki (Finland) during the 1994-1995 academic year. He will receive an honorary doctorate at this academy in June 2012.
Jacques van Oortmerssen was a regular guest professor of organ at the Lyon Conservatory (France) between 1999 and 2004, and he has also been a guest professor at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester (England) and during many years at the Conservatory in Göteborg (Sweden). In addition he has been a member of the advisory board of the Göteborg Organ Art Centre (GOArt) at the University of Gothenburg.
As soloist Jacques van Oortmerssen regularly performs throughout Europe, North and South America, Africa, Japan and South Korea and is frequently invited at prestigious international festivals sucu as the BBC Proms in London (England), the Prague (Czech Republic) Spring Festival, the Bach Festival in Leipzig (Germany) and the City of London Festival. He is well known for his interpretations of early music and in particular of music of J.S. Bach.
Jacques van Oortmerssen is also active as a composer and conductor.
As a recording artist, van Oortmerssen has featured on more than 50 CD releases for prominent international labels, as well as broadcasting on both radio and television.
Among the recordings he made are the complete works of C.P.E. Bach and Johannes Brahms as well as a series of records of J.S. Bach's organ music, already having released nine volumes.
Jacques van Oortmerssen has been actively involved with the art of organ building in the broadest sense since 1970. Through his international career he intensively used and examined many organs, both historical and new, all over the world. As an organ expert he guides both restorations of historical instruments and constructions of new instruments.
Jacques van Oortmerssen is one of the inspirators of the Göteborg Organ Art Centre (GOArt) at the University of Gothenburg. This centre is committed to improve the quality of the art of organ building, both in restoring historic instruments and building new instruments, having built up a huge international reputation in doing so. Therefore interdisciplinary research is being conducted here in which musical instrument builders, musicians, organologists, technologists and musicologists cooperate on an international level. Thus the Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg carries out important research on different aspects of historical organ building in the field of metallurgy, thermo-dynamics and acoustics.
As a result of these efforts two large projects have been realized, of which the North German Organ Research Project particularly caused an international stir.
Jacques van Oortmerssen believes the current profile of 'omniscient advisor' to now be obsolete. The complexity of restoring organs and the diversity of the historic patrimony demand a different approach in which the organ advisor will increasingly develop into a leader of a team of specialists.

Wonderful playing, as ever! Rest in peace, Jacques.
His musicality is amazing.
Organo di una sonorità eccellente! Come il tempo d'esecuzione e la magnifica tecnica del maestro Jacques van Oortmerssen che permettono di godere di ogni particolare della composizione.BRAVO!
Graziosoooooooo
Complimenti
👏👏👏
Thanks for posting! I love this piece!
Exelent!
Bravo - delightful artistry.
A masterful performance and a listener's delight. Thank you.
Bravissimo!
The "elegant style" is about Rhythmic Modification. For example one can hurry three notes, and then linger on the fourth note. At the same time this is done, the basic puls is stabile. Maestro Oortmerssen seems to slow down the puls, here and there. (To be more correct, he gives some notes some extra time.) What is the theory behind this? Oortmerssen is not doing this by coincidence. I am curious! And thanks for this video.
Fijn dar deze opname gemaakt is van Jacques zijn orgelspel. Kunnen we zijn prachtige speeltechniek weer bewonderen en genieten van zijn verfijnde interpretatie. Ook een prachtige opname zowel qua audio als video.
grande morbidezza del suono. davvero grande sonorita', esaltata anche da un tocco morbido e legato
Mooie uitvoering met gevoel gespeeld
... che bravura!
Bravo come René Saorgin all'organo della Sainte Chapelle (LP Harmonia Mundi)
3:25 Adagio
6:22 third movement
Il brano è di J.G. Walther ma il concerto è del Signr. Vivaldi. Bellissima esecuzione ed interpretazione . Jacques van Oortmerssen sei grande.
I share your appreciation.
Below, an interpretation of the original violin concerto by Vivaldi (RV.275):

I love this performance! I play this piece and spent much time listening over and over to his playing. So elegant. I want to know why he plays the allegros all on one manual. The edition I play from alternates from the great to the swell/positiv, whatever and I like that contrast. Nevertheless, it's wonderful musicianship! Yes a few wrong notes, which makes me think I should keep on playing, even though I'm past my sell-by date...
Suona su un manuale perché questo strumento al brustwerk non ha un 8 piedi labiale ma un regal...
Ook hier were een groot meester !!
Great performance! Question: Why is this Concerto called "di signore Meck"? Isn't it based on Vivaldi's RV 275? I would totally appreciate information on this topic, and link/suggestions on resources if possible. Thank you!
Gema Lopez In case you are still wondering, Walther simply named the wrong composer (Joseph Meck) for this work. At the time the concept of who wrote a piece was a lot less important than it became in the later 18th and 19th centuries, which is why we have many works that for example are attributed to Bach but we don't know for sure.

Beautiful! Which organ is it?
The Ghilardi organ in the Smarano parish church, Trentino, Italy
Bello, ma il concerto non e' del sig.Meck ma di Vivaldi sempre riadattato da Walther
Waarom alles op hetzelfde klavier?
Dat vroeg ik mij ook af, ik was dus niet de enige met deze gedachte. Je kan met dit stuk van die mooie klavierwisselingen maken.
@@metronoom2910 Klopt. Maar de wisselingen zijn op zeer onduidelijke momenten. Daarnaast hoor je door de vorm al een concerto grosso, en is het dus niet perse nodig om klavierwisselingen te maken.
Perché su questo strumento al brustwerk non c'è nessun registro di 8 labiale ma un regale di 8 piedi
He was a good organist, but there is something in this performance that makes me require more. Maybe it lacks something like real style or dynamics.
Its an organ. WYM dynamics😂
But I do agree. Maybe because this piece sounds better at a faster tempo.
This kind of playing makes me sick.
We are looking forward to your version. We hope it's from higher quality then your comment..
ulfnorberg Well, go away and spew quietly, then; we don't mind.
Jacques van Oortmerssen hat das toll gespielt. Allerdings würde ein romantischer Organist bemängeln, so könne man keine Orgel spielen. Er spielt es, passend, mit einer sehr angenehmen Barocktechnik.
Jacques van Oortmerssen hatte nicht umsonst mehrer Professurstellen für Orgel und galt als einer der besten Bachinterpreten des späten 20. und frühen 21. Jahrhunderts.
Möge Er seinen Frieden gefunden haben.
