I love this piece. It's one of the few things I can play a bit of on keyboard/piano, but nowhere near as well as it is here. My favourite part is the section where the left hand is just playing the A between each note the right hand plays.

Thank you so much for this! I show this to my elementary music students and having the little bio information at the beginning and all the camera angles - especially with the foot pedals - is wonderful! Please consider another video that has the Fugue.

I remember doing an "Interview" for being a child chorister in Beverly east Yorkshire and have loved the sound of the organ ever since. Grace cathedral also has lovely acoustics.

Did he also play the Fugue? The whole piece is really "Toccata and Fugue in D minor". I personally think the Fugue, although not quite as loud, is even more impressive than the Toccata.

@nigelft

4 жыл бұрын

Indeed ... Although the Toccata is perhaps the most famous 'half', for me the real challenge is a smooth tranisition to the Fugue, and then the Fugue itself, which I consider the more challenging of the two 'parts' ... There is a video of Karl Richter playing the entire piece, and you can just about see he exerts that little bit more effort into the Fugue, even though Richter himself, quite aside from being an amazing conductor, could have easily made a career just from playing the organ alone, which goes to show just how incredible the Fugue actually is ...

Writing a masterpiece and doing it at 17 years of age is wild. Who knows the amount of things being accomplished in our times that we will never find about maybe during our whole lifetimes?

Superb rendition of this famous piece!

So utterly metal it’s crazy. Bach was a titan.

You got the whole of the Toccata. The Fugue seemingly wasn't recorded - but this is really just a 'bonus' video of a demonstration recorded whilst making Rob's video about the organ - kzread.info/dash/bejne/fJl2layne9OehNI.html . There are plenty of other recordings of Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565 out there - it's probably the most recorded organ work attributed to J S Bach (whose authorship of this work is disputed). Though a French Symphonic organ in a very reverberant building would not normally be the first choice for recording this work and certainly would alarm a baroque purist, the recording by Olivier Latry in Notre Dame earlier this year has deep emotional ramifications following the fire - kzread.info/dash/bejne/l2ap16duirS0ZqQ.html . The grand organ was in fine form following its 2014 restoration - this was one of the last (perhaps the last) recording before the fire.

What a masterpiece!

Nice voicing for the opening of the tocatta. Would've loved to hear a call and response in the first section. However, voicing the tocatta with principles and foundational stops vs fiery reeds and "loud organist syndrome" was awesome. Thise mixtures sound awesome too!

Just when it's about to kick in and get fast he stops!! I love his cool dancing!! 😉
