Hermosa y maravillosa música. ❤❤❤

Wolfgang Seifen is a great improviser. Germany has always had them and I am enjoying finding them on the internet. We should add Franz Josef Stoiber at Regensburg and the late Franz Lehrendorfer at Munich to any list. The French have always had a great tradition though with some exceptions I think French improvisation is going through an odd perhaps self-indulgent phase at present. Like all true improvisers, Prof Seifen has a huge, well-developed, and well-utilized bag of tricks, but what sets Seifen apart from your average competent organist, (besides technique obviously etc.) is that they are used in such musical, innovative, coherent, and disciplined ways so that the results are definitely worthy of concert performance. I regularly play Lehrendorfer improvs. in my car as I travel along. Now with Blue Tooth, I can add Seifen too! Thanks, Professor for wonderful music making.

Very well said! 👍

Ach, möge er noch ganz, ganz lange wunderbare Konzerte geben! Auf dass diese grandiose Kunst weiterlebe!

What a privilege to watch and listen a real genius

Brillant.

Geweldig mooi. Speciaal 0:20:44 Zwei Charakterstücke - Andante cantabile!

One of the best musicians of our time, period. His understanding of melodic structure, harmonization and his ability to improvise big works with actually meaningful overall structure….just blows my mind.

there are a lot of organists who can play like him . I know someone from Utrecht, who got ill, has no prof title, is living as a Hermit/Solitary , you won't believe what he can. Has a organ at home. I have heard him playing in the past on a saturday at the Old Catholic Cathedral at 'kerken kijken utrecht" As a Guest player. ...i think it was around 2003 unbelievable.

@@musicisitall Hmm…Interesting…..names please? When you say there is ALOT of people that could play like him then I at least expect that you can give some real names as example. And since you claim there is alot of people, I also expect that you can come up with more than one name. I have played the pipeorgan since I was 8 years old (starting playing the keys when I was four), have worked with some truly excellent musicians during the years, but I have yet to hear anyone better than Wolfgang Seifen when it comes to improvising a baroque-style fugue on the spot.

@theclaverman look up organist like: Sietze de Vries, Evan Bogerd, Rien Donkersloot, Gerben Mourik and many more Dutch organists. I went to a concert of Wolfgang. It was ok and still amazing but when you look up all his KZread concerts it is almost always the same structure. He is good in this style but never very surprising.

Eine Meisterleistung ersten Ranges - man meint, eine ausgeschriebene Komposition zu hören! Dazu diese klanglich absolut ausgewogene romantische Eule - Orgel!

Extraordinario.

Unglaublich! Vielen Dank fürs Hochladen!

Schön, daß man ihn hier hören/sehen kann, wo man doch im Moment nicht weiß, ob und wann Live-Besuche wieder möglich sind. Und wie gut, daß er nie etwas dagegen hat, daß alles aufgenommen/gefilmt wird und man diese eigentlich ja "vergängliche" Musik immer wieder nachhören kann.👍

Grandios war es, und das Liveerlebnis 3 Meter daneben war schon sehr besonders!

Maestro...

Gran-di-oos, virtuoos!!

Just in case anyone thinks the French have an exclusive hold on the art of organ improvisation...

The French are still way more subtil, there is no way !

Perfektion in Vollendung!

Sprach- und wortlos. Ein "Krümelchen" davon würde völlig ausreichen für einen selber. Grandios. Danke für Teilen hier ... der Prof. selber teilt ja leider fast nichts. Ich freue mich für alle die dabei sein konnten.

Fantastic

Einfach nur genial!!!!!

In Wahrheit lebt Bach dank Ihnen wieder, Herr Professor ! Natürlich nehme ich Ihre großartigen inspirierten Improvisationen auf. Aber wären sie auf CD verfügbar? Danke für die Antwort ! Ein bewundernder Franzose, der Sie in Angers willkommen heißen möchte !

Fantastisch

Just fantastically good 🤩
