The Organist in that church was came from Seeboden a village in carinthia. I self live here, his mother has died at 6 septembre( 76 years old) my aunt once went to the same class at elementary school with him. And his father was then teacher of my mother in a other class in the same school.
J S Bach, arguably the cleverest man who has ever lived and who wrote by far and away the best organ music to come to us. I agree with Michael Fischer, here, that his music is channeled from another world or sphere or however you care to describe inspiration from a higher order.
Thanks.- These sounds are so unbelievable and do not correspond to the human nature. A "normal" composer would have started the "Orgelpunkt" on the low "a" at 0:31.- Beginning at 0:33 it projects a kind of cosmic vibration. How on earth could somebody conceive and write down something like this. Bach knew things nobody else knows.
That reminds me - read, if you have not already done so, J R R Tolkien's own creation myth at the beginning of The Silmarillion. It is a beautiful almost plausible account of how the great creating spirit Illunatar brought everything into being by the means of magnificent harmonious music. While reading it, I had Bach's Passacaglia going over and over in my mind!
I shall be looking for that book. Many thanks. The Passacaglia without doubt is Bach's recreation of the Universe in sound. Written at the age of 22 years.....
From 8:48 we have the three small photos showing the consoles of the three instruments that are in the church nave: above the largest, main organ; at the bottom left the Evangelium-organ; and at the bottom right the Epistle organ. I would like to make an interpolation at bachkirche's remarks telling that in 1733 and 1734 the main organ was expanded by Josef and Viktor Ferdinand Bossart, and these same builders built the Epistle and the Evangelium organs. What impresses me in the Swiss baroque organs is the marble color diversity in the cases: we have all the visible spectrum tones, even black, gray, brown and white.
So Bach sat down to have breakfast, like all of us, and then, finished, put down on paper something like this.- As a matter of fact, this cannot be human.-The "Orgelpunkt" on "a" beginning at 0:33 comes from another world.
Many organists need Reger-sound to finish this fugue, it's aweful! But Andrea Marcon trust the great composer and use the same stops all the way, thank you!
This performance is good enough to stand along side the famous Biggs' recording on the Flentrop. Wonderful. Wonderful organ too. I don't know too much about Swiss organs. I will have to study up on the subject....
I found something about the organ on the web. This is a Google translation from the German: The Great Organ, completed by Thomas Schott from Bremgarten, in 1630, experienced violent conversions in the 19th and early 20th centuries. From 1965 to 1972, it was returned to the original state in its external appearance, and its sound form approximated the original with the reuse of the still existing Schott pipes.
A noiseless patient spider, I mark’d where on a little promontory it stood isolated, Mark’d how to explore the vacant vast surrounding, It launch’d forth filament, filament, filament, out of itself, Ever unreeling them, ever tirelessly speeding them. And you O my soul where you stand, Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space, Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing, seeking the spheres to connect them, Till the bridge you will need be form’d, till the ductile anchor hold, Till the gossamer thread you fling catch somewhere, O my soul.Walt Whitman
Bravo! Quando l'Altissimo chiamerà al Giudizio Universale chiederà a Bach di sedersi all'organo dell'universo e per richiamare tutti a Lui gli chiederà di suonare la BWV 543. Grazie
Harmonisch kompliziert ist das Werk nicht, wie etwa die Fantasie und Fuge g-moll (mit enharmonischen Verwechslungen usw.), das Gewaltige ist die Erfindungsgabe.
Man muss sich vorstellen, da steht jemand auf, wie wir alle, hat Fruehstueck, trinkt seinen Kaffee, und setzt sich dann hin um SO ETWAS zu Papier zu bringen. Der Mann verliess die Grenzen Deutschlands nie, woher nahm er die Inspiration das ganze Universum in Musik zu fassen ?
Die Aufnahme ist nicht ideal.Mir gefällt die Aufnahme von gerubach besser.Was mir aber noch besser gefällt "The wedge".BWV 548. Es gibt wohl kein Komponist der mir so viel wie Bach bedeudet. Selbst die Großen überragt er meilenweit.
Excellent. Magnifique !!! Et quelle beauté, ce buffet d'orgue! Nos yeux écoutent, et Nos oreilles s'enivrent. Merci. Olivier F
Bravo bravo bravo fantastic brilliance grandiose music super
Proof that God spoke through man. Absolutely Epic.
This piece brings tears of joy to my eyes.
Ottima lettura, rispettosa del perfetto equilibrio di questo capolavoro del Grande di Eisenach. Bravo!

This is wonderful BWV 543 is my favourite - I like this performance - the passage at 2:00 always gives me the shivers. Fabulous
Wspaniałe wykonanie!
Love Andrea's pace, this is my favorite version
Excellent! Bach played at his best possible. Many compliments to Andrea M. for an astonishing interpretation. .
I know no other organist who can play so faithfully to the composer
Ho sentito Andrea Marcon una volta e non me lo sono più dimenticato. Un organista che lascia il segno!
Tremendous resonance!
Theme entry in the bass 7:57 = the voice of God.- 8:42 Chord of the Neapolitan sixth.
This is boss fight music.

Please, Sir, don' t mix Bach with Tolkien since transcendency cannot mix with triviality.
Well said.
This is why I love the pipe organ!
tres bel orgue baroque , j aime aussi l interpretation d andrea marcon que je decouvre ici avec ravisement ! merci : pierre-xavier de chassot .
This is absolutely wonderful, Andrea - a very, very moving performance indeed!!
Très belle interprétation d'un des grands chef d'oeuvre de Jean-Sébastioen Bach

A pleasant tempo on the fugue! This organ is powerful.
Excellent performance!
me lo ricordo : 1978!
Johann-Sebastian Bach - "le commencement et la fin de la musique!" (MAx Reger)
El comienzo y el fin de la música

Dear Michael, this composition is my fav of all Bach works. Could oyu be so kind to suggest what is the best position to learn this piece on a guitar?
@@nazarenkodenys Franz Liszt did a wonderful transliteration on piano that I am learning. A good place to start.
I agree with you

bachkirche. Thank you. Amazing that the original pipes were not scrapped. Why would they have been stored and not scrapped?
been searching for this type of interpretation ever since Phillipe Delacour's was flagged and taken down. Sounds great man!!
+ Jhr. Humphrey. Excellent
🙏🍀✨
Best I've heard I think - alongside Peter Hurford (Decca) & Zerer (Hänssler Edition Bachakademie Vol.88]
fantastico Andrea!
Fantastico Andreaaaaaa!

This sounds so much like my playing it is scary.
Did Andrea study with Helmut Walcha?
Das ist von der Harmonie wahrscheinlich eines der gewaltigsten Bach Werke.
Ausser ihm konnte kein Mensch etwas Vergleichbares schreiben.....man kann nur sprachlos zuhoeren.
Das stimmt, mein Herr, und auch: als Deutsch, Sie sollen stolz zu sein dass , Ihres Land solches Genie geschafft hat.
Harmonisch kompliziert ist das Werk nicht, wie etwa die Fantasie und Fuge g-moll (mit enharmonischen Verwechslungen usw.), das Gewaltige ist die Erfindungsgabe.

Sehr schöner barocker Klang !!!
starting at 7:45...
I want this to be played in my Spanish burial. If I suddenly die here in Japan.

epperò....
il basso il pedal untersazt?? , i fondi di 16' 8' 4' ..a volte 32'.. e le ancie….. si sente strillare e basta! Bach questo?? mah!
alles of niks
