Finally, the Netherlands Bach Society posts the fifth organ sonata by Bach! Nowadays, Thursday has become a long awaited event and one of the highlights of the week. I wait for each Thursday with anticipation. Thank you NBS for your free gift to the world. If this cost something or wasn't on RUclips, I'd be missing out on such prize recordings. I would, in fact, very probably not even love music as much. With their beautiful work, the Nederlandse Bachvereniging is showing the world Bach in a way that we've never seen before! Thank you 10000 times! God bless you! ❤️
Tbh I love Antonio Mercante (aka Ton Koopman) but his rendition of the sonata is awful. First time I can say this of one of his performance. No phrasing, just a molass of sounds really.
Ton Koopman is my very favourite organist ever, playing Bach. IMHO, he has taken the baroque embellishments (trills, mordents and appoggiaturas) and phrasing on the organ, to another level
Koopman is a legend. But an even greater legend, whose accomplishments in preserving Bach’s organ works in 3 separate, EPIC recordings of the complete works on the most important organs in the world, has raised the level of Bach organ scholarship and musicianship to the heights we now know and take for granted, is Marie-Claire Alain. Her massive achievement is largely overlooked bc she’s a woman, but, to my ears, the beauty, elegance, and intelligence of her playing is the Mount Everest all other future organists must try to emulate. _ And SHE PLAYED FROM MEMORY!!!_
@@voraciousreader3341 Thank you for your opinion and recomendation but, everyone to his own taste ;-) I've did some comparative for several Bach organ works, and Koopman for me is the winner (just for my ears and my heart) between Walcha, Richter, Jacobs, Bohme, Preston, Doesselaar, Alain, Stockmeir, Fagius, Asma, etc. When i hear to an organ work i'm not aware of the gender or nationality of the organist. I had already heard several interpretations of Marie Claire Alain (which seriously, I'm sorry, I find out now that she is a woman) and I honestly consider her two levels below Koopman when it comes to baroque organ performance. (I insist on the recommendation to attend to the phrasing of the embellishments) It may also be that the organ or the sound engineer has an influence, but only a little. Koopman also have done the complete works.
Ton Koopman is a living legend and as an organist I have heard recordings by him both as an organist and choirmaster. He is brilliant and bonus info: he is coming to Copenhagen this summer!
Que afortunado, las pocas veces que Koopman vino a mi país (Mexico) no pude ir a escucharlo, algo que lamento mucho. Pero pues tengo muchas de sus grabaciones y me encantan.
Ton Koopman is in the Netherlands the main centre of exploring the genius of Bach. His many recordings, his knowledge, his teaching etc. A true master, we owe him a lot.
77, the perfect man for a well known battery commercial;) i think i do own all his organ recordings, raised up with passion music directed by him, set my standard for appreciating/starting point for listening to other Bach performers. Good health and blessings to Sir Koopman, great example in hard working and producing high quality
Thank you. This was amazing. You can feel Bachs music soar with joy when played well. Thank you for sharing all of Bachs incredible music in such a great way with so many great artists young and old. A much needed gift to our world
Bravo! Meister. You only get better with age, like a fine wine. May you live long and prosper as did the late Francis Jackson, whom you no doubt numbered amongst your friends.
Bravo, Ton! Your playing is crisp and excellent as ever. Thank you to Ton and the NBS! I'd give anything, Ton, to hear you perform the remaining few works from Volume II with the Weingarten organ here at Naumburg! I treasure that album greatly. Thanks all for your hard work!
🎶🎶Briljant en met ongekend grote virtuositeit uitgevoerd sublieme registratie op een onwaarschijnlijk mooi instrument! Hulde aan Ton koopman en alle medewerkers van het All of Bach project🙏
Ton Koopman is een Groot Man, een uitzonderlijke muzikant en een uitmuntende vertolker van Bach-muziek. Ik wens hem veel Onze Lieve Heer's Zegen, veel gezondheid en veel kracht om door te gaan met spelen, opnemen en presenteren van zijn waardevolle vertolkingen. Ik groet u van harte. A. Maciejewski
@@andanteconmoto. Really? RUclips won't let me post a link but just type "Leo van Doeselaar" into the search and click on any one. They're all great. Leo is my favorite! He also recorded Sweelinck and César Franck.
@@johanngottliebgoldberg1055 Oh, sure, Leo van Doeselaar!!! I agree, he is a magnificent musician. I think that the personality of Ton Koopman is unique in the performing practice history of the last 40 years.
Wunderschöne Aufführung dieser fein komponierten Sonate in verschiedenen Tempi mit durchsichtigen doch warmherzigen Tönen der ausgezeichneten historischen Orgel und mit perfekt kontrollierter Dynamik. Der zweite Satz klingt besonders schön und echt tiefempfunden. Im Kontrast klingt der dritte Satz echt lebhaft und auch inspirierend. Wahrlich intelligenter und unvergleichlicher Organist!
The tempo is more moderate than we would expect from Ton Koopman.. but it still sounds like he’s in a hurry (maybe to catch a train or something). Why is that? Is he slightly robbing longer notes or parts of the beat? I guess, depending on what you think, it either comes across as energetic or uneasy.
How can I listen without tears in my eyes? Such glorious music and so demanding of the performer too: These settings provide exact reproductions of what Bach himself heard, adding further to their glory.
Tinha 14 anos. Acabara de perder meu pai. Estava prestes a compreender sozinho como ler uma partitura no piano da minha escola com livros da biblioteca. A dona do piano, e filha da diretora dessa escola ( que era má ) proibiu que eu utilizasse o piano. Nunca mais pude estudar partituras, e me ressinto até hoje disso.
To be honest it would have been beneficial to hear the sound of the organ from closer by. Especially when played in this tempo ! It would be even more attractive, hence the actual observation of the Keys with that old fingering Koopman uses !!
Ton Koopman is a legend, but I wish an even _greater_ legend had lived to participate in this massive project, especially bc she recorded the complete organ work’s of Bach _3 TIMES!!!_ True musicians will know that I’m talking about Marie-Claire Alain, _THE organ master of the 20th Century and beyond!!_ Her recordings of these sonatas are epic!
There is nothing in common in the binom MC Alain-Koopman, only the fact they are organist. I find the style of MCA extremely dry, unispired, too far of the ideal stylus fantasticus so well mastered by K. Michel Chapuis was much better than Alain.
Er wordt geweldig gemusiceerd maar het spel doet me ook denken aan Olympische Orgelspelen... Wat een haast! Snel spelen moet niet verworden tot onrustig spel.
Maybe it's because it's played a little fast, but in such a resonant place, it makes the sound muddled and there are more enharmonies than expected... I suggest recording in a concert hall rather than in a church...
I don't know if it's the sound production or Koopman, the old sod - God bless him- but the voices (in the two outer movements esp.) could hardly be less aligned; the music is uncommonly out of time.
As he said of this organ in his commentary video, the articulation of the voices may be difficult to hear and therefore seeing the player can help (this is as I remember, not his exact words). It's a commentary well worth watching, for the history of the organ, i.a. But I agree with you somewhat. I kept comparing in my mind the John Butt recording, where the tempo is joyous and true and the voices singing and clear.
Koopman is my favorite baroque organist but, here, I think the acoustics of the place require a slower tempo on the first and last movement. The reverberation of the church muffles the faster notes and the interpretation looses clarity. This same performance would sound much better on a "dryer" acoustic environment.
Too massive registration to my taste. voices are blurring. This is delicate chamber music. Check out on RUclips Daniel Chorzempa for the true beauty of the piece, recorded in 1972 but still the reference for the trio sonatas: J.S. Bach: Sonata No. 5 in C major, BWV 529 - 1. Allegro - All sonatas: J. S. Bach “Trio Sonata No. 1-6, BWV 525-530” (Daniel Chorzempa).
Although Koopman is virtuosic, no question, I think he could have played it better in that room. The accoustic of the church is quite large, so that I would try to adapt more. In the first movement he is a bit sloppy and not always synchron. It may be the recording. The manual of the first voice sounds clear and near, pedal and second voice are pretty far. I don't enjoy listening to it, it's hard to recognize the lines an their beauty. They don't really fit together.
In elkaar vervloeiende muziek in een overmatige akoestiek horen wij hier - is hier eigenlijk wel KLANKREGIE toegepast? - dan een helder muziekexposé. Zonde van tijd, geld en moeite. Bah! En wat een beledigintg voor Koopman.
@@boter9 it's the churches 'bad' acoustic. He'd better played a bit slower. I listened to other recordings and there was the same problem. St. Wenzel has no "regular" vaults.
@@johanngottliebgoldberg1055 I don't know - like I don't think he's bad by any stretch of the imagination, but I don't get why he's so beloved... these Bach organ recordings for the NBS are, honestly, sloppy. Yes, he's in his late 70s, and that plays a bit into it, but even his earlier Bach organ recordings aren't -that- fantastic, at least not to the degree for the praise he receives. But, I can only judge him on the his Bach organ recordings, not his other pursuits, for which I admittedly have zero familiarity.
Орган - 5+ Зал - 5+ Тон Копман - 2! Ну разве можно так сумбурно и рубато всё играть??? Темп теряется, ноты пропадают, не проигрываются (проглатываются). Конечно с темпом у многих органистов проблемы.
