Beautiful voicing. Such a majestic organ sound. The recording engineering does fantastic justice to capture registers with minimum of mechanical noise. The sublimity of this organ collection of J.S. Bach is breath-taking in its contrapuntal exquisite command of technical mastery while prominently adorning and ornamenting the liturgical hymns. Truly a phenomenal compositional feat looking 300 years in time. Has there ever been such a one to equal J.S. Bach’s prodigious inventiveness and genius? Only a scarce few names come to mind.

Interpretacion magnifica. A un tiempo que se puede seguir bien y con total claridad de articulacion. Me encanta. Gracias

[@cremat9324]

Gran interpretació. La dificultat tècnica és notable. El són d,aquest orgue és fantàstic.

[@fernandosoares5812]

Excelente, a interpretação que a música, sendo de Bach, tem a garantia de qualidade na origem!

Un grandísimo organista y una música divina

[@thomasdastillung4097]

Great

[@PointyTailofSatan]

It's known that Bach's very complex church music often used to drive the church elders crazy. They wanted simple hymns. But he was simply too good to allow them to force him to change. And you can hear that musical quality here, with it's active harmonies and bass continuo.

[@tiznadoang]

niceeeee

Hay que RECONOCER que es el más completo y el que MÁS LLENA su perfección es absoluta y su misticismo espeluznante

A missing one at 0:59:23

[@TheGloryofMusic]

Thank you. So a chorale prelude is omitted?

[@sebastianolievore3971]

The one I indicated at 0:59:23 . I cannot recognize which one it is.

[@TheGloryofMusic]

It's "Dies sind die heilgen zehn Gebot" BWV 635. The prelude listed under that title is actually BWV 633 "Liebster Jesu, wir sind hier".

[@Ant-ls2pr]

The problem may be that BWV 634 is not in the listing above. It could have been number 36 in the play list. Don't know the melodies to proof that it is being played or also missing from being played...But I do think no 633 begins at 56:56, that is track no.35 (and only played once)

[@LBOrgue]

Thank you for your effort to list all Chorals. Its very helpfull.

[@paulbrennan5646]

Dear Maria: What do you mean R.I.P.? Please don' t tell me Simon Preston is dead!

[@tarquinalgernonmoncrief3670]

@@paulbrennan5646 yes - sadly

[@extrasalt4595]

Hoomeyow!!

[@MegaCirse]

The mark of a musician who truly understands the soul of the organ is one who understands how to work with the resonance of his space... too many organists continue to play at a rhythm without respect for the resonance of a room. The following echo and silence are part of the performance as a brilliant fanfare. Without silence, the fanfare just becomes noise¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@charlottewhyte9804]

where are the names of the chorales?

[@ryan_cowan]

if a german adapted this and used it as carnival ride music, id fall in love with the jibs of a noble gondola swing too
