Word cannot describe the heavenly beauty of this music. The very essence of nature and the human soul shines and engulfs everything while listening to this. Bach knew a secret, and this music is a path to getting a glimse of it.
Learn how to play it, and you will appreciate its epic intricacy and beauty even more. The complexity of Bach's polyphonic music consisting of structures of separate voices and the way they came together to create one, combined flow of auditory bliss, is unparalleled in the rest of music history. If God existed and could write music, this is what it would sound like.
Bach says , it's hard to find a melody that resonates as pleasantly in your ears and mind as my masterpiece playing with splendid skill and specutacular technique and makes you feel peaceful and calm . From Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun 🇯🇵
Per me l'organo e'lo strumento piu' bello e incredibile che siste...scende nelle profondita' dell'essere e arriva alle note sublimi....e' ombra e luce nello stesso tempo....e Bach e' assolutamente stratosferico..la sua musica e' sublime...❤❤😂❤
@@justynak3867 I can. This is about a holy ghost proceeding from a Father and his Son (so most probably a male ghost), which apparently helped mr. Bach to compose, perhaps because he did not have enough talent of his own. And this then is the good message of hope for christians: if you do not have so much talent of your own, you can wait or pray and maybe this holy ghost will visit you and take your hand and miraculously make your hand write down a score, a poem, a novel or perhaps even a painting. Who knows....!
@@justynak3867 There is even more to this. What Mr. Nagaev teaches us is that if there is something you like very much, something you find very beautiful, something which lifts up your spirits, then you can know that it comes from God. Because a simple man, perhaps also a simple woman, cannot make something that would be so beautiful - God and his Son, through their holy ghost, must be involved in it, be it in a Bach composition, a Rembrandt painting or a Van Gogh, a song of Beyoncé, a Lucian Freud, a novel by Bataille, a movie from Paul Verhoeven, perhaps even a rap by R Kelly. Isn't that great? (or does the holy ghost only appreciate organ music.....?)
@@justynak3867 Perhaps one even ought to say that any beauty comes from God and his Son, through their holy ghost. Perhaps even that beauty equals God... That would also mean that there are many Gods and then also many ghosts, since different people very often find beauty (= God) in very different things, and what one considers beauty, someone else despises. In which case the former would find and adore a different god than the latter.
Organ's Bach Music is unique, no other composer match HIM. The rest is just elementary art. Bach the best musician forever and ever. The favorite Musician Angel of GOD. B -A- C- H
Well, of course. I remember Diane Nichollini, DJ at the Classical station in San Francisco, when Bach came in third in a listener competition for greatest composer (to Beethoven and Mozart) when she said "it's hard to imagine Johann Sebastian Bach coming in anything but first in any competition of musicians."

First of all, this compilation is nothing short of stellar! However, I'm curious about something. What are we looking at starting on 37:56?? It looks like Rice-a-roni meets couscous that fell on the ground in a heavily wooded area.
37:57 What do cheese grits on shredded beef have to do with Bach organ works? (I do love the music. I also love cheese grits. Perhaps that's what they have in common?)
Como la primera luz del crepúsculo, esta música abre los ojos a las viejas promesas y a todas las abundantes anomalías de la naturaleza. Evocadoras de poderes más allá de la observación, estas piezas mueven los hilos del corazón, atraen la nostalgia y despiertan arrepentimientos, vidas quemadas y el letargo de los Auditores¯\_(ツ)_/¯
+Roy Andersen Hi Roy; Indeed "what more can be said?" Think about what you've heard and/or listen to it again. I'm sure you have the words ( the vocabulary) to express something other than "WOW!" How about: Why does this organist (like so many other organists) seem to have only one level of volume (ff or fff)? Why do most of these highly skilled and well educated scholars of Bach's music make Bach sound like a high speed freight train bound for Easter? Where are the changes in registrations and tempi? The written composition is only a map; it is not the territory. The real music is in the ear, not on the page. Imitation (of Bach) is not the highest form of compliment or proof of excellence! Where's the love, the joy? Etc., etc. Listen. I know you can do it. CVD
+Charles Davis are you an organist? I'm guessing not seeing as you do not know the technicalities of playing an organ. For a start, they don't have touch sensitive keys so you cannot simply alter the dynamics as you wish. This is done through stop changes. Furthermore, you talk about the score only being a map but the organist playing these pieces is using appropriate stop changes and has done a very good job of playing these pieces as they should be.
Hi Will; I've been an organist for 50 plus years and taught piano and organ for half that time... still do. You can alter the dynamics via both stops and the pedals. And your ideas about "should" and mine are two different things. Thanks. CVD
May I ask which organ is this (Silbermann, Schnitger, et al) and from which Chuch is it? It's a way of appretiation of the different organ builders. Thanks, very much
I believe we will see modern music take a shift towards composing in this random precision and utilizing digital effect/sound system to induce a full effect.
I know most pieces, but I am not sure which one the first is? If anybody could give me the BWV nr./the name, I`d really appreciate it. Thanks in advance :)

Bach's pipe organ music is sublime and elegant in one instance without regard to dynamic level since it must occupy the air space of a huge cathedral structure. Interpretation of dynamic contrast is at the will of the organist. it's just that basic. Mr. Charles Davis, i disagree with your comments in criticism of Mr. Roy Andersen because you belittle him without regard for Mr. Actaeus comments, prior, and placed yourself on a pedestal higher than that of the composer. what's up with that?

Wow! What more can be said?
+Roy Andersen Hi Roy; Indeed "what more can be said?" Think about what you've heard and/or listen to it again. I'm sure you have the words ( the vocabulary) to express something other than "WOW!" How about: Why does this organist (like so many other organists) seem to have only one level of volume (ff or fff)? Why do most of these highly skilled and well educated scholars of Bach's music make Bach sound like a high speed freight train bound for Easter? Where are the changes in registrations and tempi? The written composition is only a map; it is not the territory. The real music is in the ear, not on the page. Imitation (of Bach) is not the highest form of compliment or proof of excellence! Where's the love, the joy? Etc., etc. Listen. I know you can do it. CVD
+Charles Davis are you an organist? I'm guessing not seeing as you do not know the technicalities of playing an organ. For a start, they don't have touch sensitive keys so you cannot simply alter the dynamics as you wish. This is done through stop changes.
Furthermore, you talk about the score only being a map but the organist playing these pieces is using appropriate stop changes and has done a very good job of playing these pieces as they should be.
Hi Will; I've been an organist for 50 plus years and taught piano and organ for half that time... still do. You can alter the dynamics via both stops and the pedals. And your ideas about "should" and mine are two different things. Thanks. CVD
+Charles Davis so basically because you've been playing organ for years, you think that everyone else is inferior and they should play in your style?

May I ask which organ is this (Silbermann, Schnitger, et al) and from which Chuch is it? It's a way of appretiation of the different organ builders. Thanks, very much

Is that a fungus pictured at 38:00?
What happened on 51:30???
I believe we will see modern music take a shift towards composing in this random precision and utilizing digital effect/sound system to induce a full effect.
Try Tim Hecker's album Ravedeath 1972
There's also a wonderful version of 537 fantasia the 1st one here, played by Hurford
Why are there random commercials in the middle of the music? Not cool

Oh, what bad noises in upper frequencies thanks mpeg compression.... 😱
Bach's pipe organ music is sublime and elegant in one instance without regard to dynamic level since it must occupy the air space of a huge cathedral structure. Interpretation of dynamic contrast is at the will of the organist. it's just that basic. Mr. Charles Davis, i disagree with your comments in criticism of Mr. Roy Andersen because you belittle him without regard for Mr. Actaeus comments, prior, and placed yourself on a pedestal higher than that of the composer. what's up with that?
It would seem to me that organist is in a bit of a hurry in the Fantasia and Fugue; that his only interest is in getting through it....
