Please, please, PLEASE Mr. Ison, I beg you! Record this again! on this same organ, but with modern technology (good video, good audio). No matter how much I search, how many performances of the piece I listen to, yours is the best, the most touching, the most cosmically inspired. And that organ is sublime. This deserves to be heard well!
I heard this 16 years ago. Please please do it again we need it. Por favor cuando mi corazón está triste esto me hace ver el mundo de otra manera. Haganlo denuevo. Esto es magia. This is magic. Please. Don't let it be in the oblivion. Por favor. Esto transforma a las personas. No lo dejen morir. Don't let it dead.
i think this piece is enjoyed much more by playing it a bit slowly. he is playing excessively fast in my opinion.. check the tocata from xaver varnus in berliner rom

Chris den Dulk I agree. This guy really feels this music, is into it, is breathing it and most important he understands it. That's why is not playing like a computer, like in the 'best version ever'.
One can only imagine the faces and expressions of the people back in the day, when they heard this masterpiece for the first time. Much respect to the organist!
My late cousin Billy Powell from the Lynyrd Skynyrd Band could play this to a "T'. He never looked at Notes, Scrolls, Bars. He just heard it and DID Perfect... God bless him...RIP Bill...
In my opinión,this is the Best versión,the feeling of the interpreter the tempo and matiz between notes is what I expect from such a Master piece,(sorry for my English)
I´ve watched this clip for years... There is so much of everything in this piece! The last 30 seconds are still the 30 mightiest seconds I´ve ever known...
Best interpretation of Fugue by far on youtube. If you compare Ison's to other renditions (like Karl Richter's amazing technical performance), he plays the introduction of Fugue just a tad slower and collected. Which lets the organ 'breathe' out the notes more naturally, giving it that spiritual-like sound.
This song along with "Jesu joy of man is desiring" also by Bach are the reasons I got into pipe organ music. Absolutely love the acoustics in the building and the cathedral theatrics! Absolutely stunning and breathtaking.
I still can't find a better version on internet... It is not about the organ or the hall it is played in. It is about who is playing it. The subtle way Kurt Ison plays certain transitions, escalates to the highlights and and even paces some pauses is special. It is much more gentle and elegant, and yet still has the power. He just gets this composition in a different way than other organ players. Every organ player feels this composition in different way and plays certain segments in their own special way. But this way feels authentic. It feels how it is meant to be played. It feels humble and respectful, and again so passionate. You start noticing it after you heard at least 5 other different versions.
I am jamming out as loud as my system can take me! I think this is the best played version on the net! I compared others to it and they all suck in some way. Thanks for your performance, it has lasted 14 yrs on here. I have this on my organ playlist! Thanks again,. Professor Dewey L
Rich Rolwing Ok so you're a troll, and you also seem to know NOTHING about Rommel or the kind of upstanding character he had. Shut your ignorant mouth until you have researched and know the facts. Seriously I made a positive comment on some of history's greatest musical pieces and you post a comment spewing your biased hate-filled ignorance. You're a worm. Leave
Rich Rolwing "the thousands of American (and others) lives your namesake was responsible for ending on D-Day " well, it WAS a war. you are aware a LOT of good, honest, though manipulated, Germans died that day as well? as if American lives are somehow more important than anyone else's son's and husbands. we wouldn't have had to stop hitler if we hadn't created the conditions in Germany for him to come to power. (he used the humiliating concessions of the Treaty of Versailles and the economic problems that caused to rally the German people. We are the MASTERS of unintended consequences and blow back.
And one of just two organs (the other being the one, under restoration, at Atlantic City) with a full-lenght 64' stop at the pedal (the mighty "Contra-Trombone")!
I've read in several places that the volume on the lowest ranks (?) of pipes is limited because they are literally capable of causing structural damage to the building.
How I would have loved to have been sitting right there listening to that!! this guy is just awesome, very very challenging bit of music to play and he nailed it!! all credit to him, stunning vid!!!!!
Reminds me so much of my school days when our music master, Alan Vening, played Toccata on our school organ (a little bit smaller than the one in the video) often after morning assembly and would attract a crowd of students to stay behind to hear the whole piece.
Merci, c'est la meilleure interprétation de "Toccata & Fugue" que j'aie jamais vue et entendue sur youtube. Ce sont certains détails d'interprétation qui rendent l'oeuvre beaucoup plus belle, grandiose, majestueuse...
Just to be able to play this is incredible. To be smart and gifted enough to compose this is even more incredible. Bach and all of the composers of classical music must have been incredible people.
Magnificent! Is the performance flawless? No. But that's what I love about it - it is so obviously a mere mortal performing a piece that was written by another human being on an instrument created by human beings and recorded and played back via a method invented by human beings (see where I'm going with this?) If it was perfect, it wouldn't be so gloriously HUMAN! I'm in awe!!!
My ultimate favorite piece of music since 1972 i was five years old and always heard it during Halloween time 🎃🎃🎃its perfect Halloween music & its my ultimate favorite holiday 💯💯💯💯
No Music in our generation can even remotely compare to this work of art. Simply amazing. Imagine what skill it takes to work such intricate notes with your fingers, AND have keys you have to work with your feet at the same time.
A powerful performance overall, although I found his changes of tempo somewhat jarring, especially during the "echo" sections of the Fugue. I personally would have preferred a more consistent tempo throughout.
It is because it acknowleged that vampires have nice taste in music. Evil people are often very smart and wise. Also, organs are played in churches. Don't you find it ironical? That's why. Well, that's my humble opinion.

It's a very impressive instrument in a beautiful room, Victorian splendour at it's best. But that light rig is really unsightly, it obscures too much of the beautiful facade. It must be possible to find a a more tasteful solution.
Como a internet é maravilhosa.Essa belíssima musica, anos atras,quando só tinha discos de vinil, um "amigo" tinha essa gravação.Eu nem sequer podia encostar o dedo no disco, hoje, está disponível para milhões de pessoas. Deus salve a internet.♥♥♥

Appreciate it for what it is. It was meant to be recorded on whatever they recorded on. There's nothing wrong with the quality whatsoever 🙂

Hoi mate 👋
18 years! This video was made in 2002.

Cool!😎
True!
Absolutely timeless. The organ in the Sydney Town Hall is just a materpiece as well.
This one is so much better than the one on RUclips that says 'Best Version Ever'.
Chris den Dulk is true
Chris den Dulk I agree. This guy really feels this music, is into it, is breathing it and most important he understands it. That's why is not playing like a computer, like in the 'best version ever'.
My thoughts exactly.
What do you think of my interpretation?
It also doesn't hurt that he is playing on one of the only two 64' stop organs in the world. It can hit almost subsonic notes.
just beautiful, I mean, my only regret is that i'm not in the music hall to hear the organ's true power
I can Imagine what the acoustics of this place is like ! I'd love to hear this live !
i wish hear this in live
omg I know right!! you'd be able to feel every note
i think that are 14 years that i see this video every month, just blow my mind every time!
One can only imagine the faces and expressions of the people back in the day, when they heard this masterpiece for the first time.
Much respect to the organist!
My late cousin Billy Powell from the Lynyrd Skynyrd Band could play this to a "T'. He never looked at Notes, Scrolls, Bars. He just heard it and DID Perfect... God bless him...RIP Bill...
This is the best version ever because of the way the orgue is made. It's gigantic and therefore the sounds are magnificient!
The 64 foot stop in the last 30 seconds is totally amazing !
THIS IS THE BEST VERSION. I’ve checked most of them...
In my opinión,this is the Best versión,the feeling of the interpreter the tempo and matiz between notes is what I expect from such a Master piece,(sorry for my English)
That organ, moves the soul. I had the pleasure of being there recently, where there was a massed male choir. It is an experience, i will never forget.
Multi tasking in the hardest form....
Yes, thats why this instrument is called the queen of instruments.
He also wrote out his grocery list at the same time. :-)
Have you ever heard of the Fantasia and Fugue in G minor?
@@headshotsongs9465 lol 😂
@@headshotsongs9465 I'm sure that would make him laugh! He has a great sense of humour!

What a genius!!
And the footwork is just amazing! 🎶
I'm addicted to that last minute melody arrangement, could listen to it all day... 9:20
Because It's an epic melody and perfect for finish this masterpiece.
This song along with "Jesu joy of man is desiring" also by Bach are the reasons I got into pipe organ music. Absolutely love the acoustics in the building and the cathedral theatrics! Absolutely stunning and breathtaking.
THE TREMENDOUS-BACH. Played by another genius, Kurt Ison, of all places in Sydney Town Hall!
Admirables Bach,el maestro que lo ejecuta, el órgano y quien lo construyó.
Que vivan para siempre !!!!
I still can't find a better version on internet...

Juan S. Bach, el intérprete y el que fabricó ese órgano, son extraordinarios. El sonido es para deleitarse!!
This is easily the best version on RUclips. Had to sift through quite a bit to find it, I regret nothing.
My Favorite part is the Fugue, its absolutely beautiful.

Why don't you change it to "Claus von Stauffenberg?"

Rich Rolwing why?
My favorite part too ^^
I keep comming back to this video.. over and over... of the 7m views.. at least 200 are mine :-)
If I were there i would need a pack of diappers and a CPR team. Beyond Magnificent!
This is one of my favorite classic pieces. I could listen to this over and over without getting bored.
Oh this guy, excelent interpretation and nice work!
This masterpiece plays then in the shadows......"Let me introduce myself. I am Count Vladius Dravula"
Didnt you mean Dracula?
I consider this the Halloween Theme
Boobix The count is not English. That is Hollywood.
oh
It's not from Dracula, it's from The Phantom of the Opera (1925).
Bach was the voice of God.
The hand of god.
BACH still the voice of GOD.
At least 14 years passed and I always get back to this video...
At the end of life's journey, when standing at the gates I am expecting that this will be playing
Фантастическая божественная музыка органа ❤ 🙂😀😋😎
where is the limit of human's ability...
Nikola Tesla is example that there is no limits
On the limits that you set to your mind
I don't believe the angels in Heaven could play Bach's masterpiece anymore beautifully!
Sydney's town hall has an all-out 4-manual pipe organ? Far out. :D Love it
There's actually 5 manuals on the organ's console. The top manual is way in the back, barely visible compared to the other 4.
its also one of the very very few organs with a 32' pipe rank in the facade
And one of just two organs (the other being the one, under restoration, at Atlantic City) with a full-lenght 64' stop at the pedal (the mighty "Contra-Trombone")!
However the Boardwalk Hall 64' was one of the first ranks to be repaired
I've read in several places that the volume on the lowest ranks (?) of pipes is limited because they are literally capable of causing structural damage to the building.
I have always liked this one best
amazing, cannot get the dislikes for this very complected piece of music.
Always someone disliking. It's unfathomable...
I love how he play's the organ. He's the best and excellent to play Bach.
The best video and I don't know why are to much dislikes from ignorants.
How I would have loved to have been sitting right there listening to that!! this guy is just awesome, very very challenging bit of music to play and he nailed it!! all credit to him, stunning vid!!!!!

Hi dear,
Yes ! I think so too !!! You and I have the same sensitivity. Thank you so much for the wonderful comment.

the controtrombone 64' is phenomenal!

Let me know when this is being played in Sydney Town Hall again. Love it.
Хочу вживую услышать, в том самом зале!
This music needs no words to express it. I blew my top and can't believe a human being could compose it.
why is it that on TV, Toccata is often related to the vampires or zombies?
It was probably used in an old school Dracula movie or something. And just the way it sounds as well
It is because it acknowleged that vampires have nice taste in music. Evil people are often very smart and wise. Also, organs are played in churches. Don't you find it ironical? That's why. Well, that's my humble opinion.
The song is heavily featured in Phantom of the Opera for one, and has since been used all over the place for generally creepy things.
Good question...
Hollywood.
