For over three decades now, Bernard Winsemius has been my favorite organist for (pre-)Baroque works, especially when he plays them on this truly magnificent and utterly unique instrument. To my ears, there is no better combination of player and instrument for these works. Winsemius plays with a boldness and freshness all his own, while the organ has a confident and aristocratic character all its own. A one-of-a-kind partnership!
I had never heard of Bruhns before...what a superb introduction - breathtaking playing. Mr Winsemius is superb, and this makes one sorry that so little has survived from Nikolaus Bruhns' compositions
Yes, few works survived, but of excellent quality. I remember when I read at first sight his wonderful chorale fantasia on "Nun komm', der Heiden Heiland": fantastic, above all I must consider more challenging to some organists the edition I have in my library, the manual parts only with C-clefs.
Oh my, what a wonderful, dramatic performance!!! One of the rare organists who truly PHRASES and shapes each note! That is the beauty of these organs with such responsive tracker action.
What a stunning and breathtaking performance of this pinnacle work of the North German Style. By far the best performance I have heard of this work. As an amateur organist myself I watch this video in great admiration of Mr. Winsemius' eye watering technical finesse at the keyboard.
I keep returning to this majestic recording. Must have listened to it hundreds of times.... And I have watched EVERY other Bruhns e-minor great praeludium here on YT and contrebombarde. No-one, LITERALLY nobody can even dream of reaching what Mr. Winsemius accomplished here. This is just beyond exceptional.
The best Prelude in E by Bruhns I have ever heard. And this spectacular, dramatic performance is on one of the heaviest keyboard actions I have ever played. Look at Bernard's hands and shoes!
Wow! What can I say? This is one truly enduring and sublime performance of a wonderful masterpiece by Bruhns. Mr Winsemius allows this instrument to fully breathe in those vitalicious moments of near silence in this enchanting work.
Ja geweldig allemaal, wat een stuk en wat een orgel. Kleine verwijzing naar Willem van Twillert: het spelen van zo'n werk is ook bijna een berg beklimmen naar de hoogste toppen...daar heb je dan ook stevig 'schoeisel' voor nodig. Schitterend!
Vigor, clarity, turned phrasing and rhetorical sense. few organists have these qualities at the same time. Young organists, you have an example to learn from: listen carefully !
Prachtig gespeeld en mooi getimed allemaal, mooi opgenomen ook. Wat is het toch een prachtig orgel en een goede restauratie geweest met dank aan de kennis van de adviseur in dienst... Cor Edskes. De schoenen 1:10 ogen niet authentiek.... die bestonden niet in de tijd van het orgel.... is mijn indruk. Knap dat je met die dikke zolen met noppen kunt spelen....
Bravissimo à cet organiste une interprétation magistrale et précieuse jouée sur un orgue prestigieux très bien adapté au répertoire du "Stylus Phantasticus"de ce disciple de Buxtehude qui m'a enthousiasmé au plus haut point
Interessanter Effekt ab 6:10 durch immer weitere Arpeggierung der erst wuchtigen Akkorde. Danach höre ich nach vielen Interpretationen die Courante mit wechselndem Metrum rhythmisch richtig gespielt - vielen Dank!
Ein herrliches Instrument in historischer Stimmung, die geschickt genutzt wird, eine über aller Präzision lebendige präsente Interpretation. Die stimmigen Temporelationen und die Stringenz geben dieser Orgel-Weltliteratur ihre nötige Geschlossenheit. Hochachtung, auch vor dem Pedalspiel mit "Knobelbechern"!
Phantastic! And so nicely playd, many thanks indeed. Unfortunatly we do not know where nd which organ we listen to. Anyhow, it's a masterpiece and it's masterly playd, GREAT! Bruhns (1665-1697) unfortunatly died very young at 32y, he lived befor Bach, but what a fantastic composer he was. Listening to Bruhns music, sometimes Im shure Bach must have known him.. (!) ;)
Baroque music has been the love of my life for 50 years. While I pride myself in knowing and understanding it, never had I heard of this composer. Please accept my humble and sincere thanks for convincing me that a thing called "civilization" still lives and breathes, Bernard Winsemius! You, too, are a Master.
What a wonderful gift Nik Bruhns left us together with Buxtehude , a legacy seamlessly continued ang developed by Bach , BACH the greatest Genius in Music :D :D
Many are inclined to render a virturoso-esque performance of this piece. If you do that, you lose the heart-rending rubato, soul-searching uncertainty of the beginning passage. Slow it down guys, knock the socks off your audience, give them chills down their spines...C'mon guys, get some rubato drama...watch some theater organ music. Usually, Virgil Fox's dazzling virtuosity completely eclipsed the music he was playing. HEAR THE MUSIC, FEEL THE MUSIC, BREATHE DEEPLY, AND LET IT FLOW, and with metered steps, convey your feelings to your audience. WITH NO RUSH OR HURRY, You ain't out there to play more notes per minute than the other guy. Despite my suggestion to Herr Winsemius to "ham" it up in the beginning, his performance was utterly superb. Can't wait to visit the Netherlands, and see what Maestro Winsemius thinks about my orchestral transcription of Frank's Chorale # 2 in B minor. DUCK AND COVER....SHEPARD'S COMING
Geweldige interpretatie, met de Bernard Winsemius kenmerkende ritmische drive. Respect voor het pedaalspel met spekzolen. Dit is een clip van de Fugue State Films DVD over de orgels van Alkmaar in context - aanbevolen.
A master in the noblest meaning of the word (Meister). Europe culture still not dead. Nobody could write such pieces nowadays but at least remains understanding of it's grammar and ability to play it. "Für Gottes Ehre" und für die Nord Deutschland musikalische Schule.
It is such a shame that so little of Bruhns' organ music has been preserved. I have the DVD from which this is taken, a documentary on the two organs at Alkmaar, with some bonus material from other organs, such as this. I highly recommend it to all lovers of the organ.

Isn't this a baroque piece though?
100% true!!!
Dear Sefa, it seems that you have found a fine piece of musical art as we can see here. KEEP UP THE GOOD VIBE BOIIIIII

Emlyn Jessen totally agree
Yes. You noticed his deep understanding of the musical phrase. Really wonderful and amazing.
Thank you, Bernard Winsemius, for your vigorous and poetic performance of this great music on this splendid organ. I have never heard a better.
Sefa sent me here. This is great! Could listen to this all day long👌
This is the best performance I've heard in a LONG time. Bravo, sir!
What a stunning and breathtaking performance of this pinnacle work of the North German Style.
By far the best performance I have heard of this work.
As an amateur organist myself I watch this video in great admiration of Mr. Winsemius' eye watering technical finesse at the keyboard.
A fantastic rendition! I know his interpretation on one of his cd recordings on this organ. This second recording is even more exciting.
It was very epic! Genius composer, great piece, talented organist. Bravo!
Honestly, this is the most exciting and awesome interpretation of this work that I've ever listened to! BRAVISSIMO mr. Winsemius! You're my idol now!
I keep returning to this majestic recording. Must have listened to it hundreds of times.... And I have watched EVERY other Bruhns e-minor great praeludium here on YT and contrebombarde. No-one, LITERALLY nobody can even dream of reaching what Mr. Winsemius accomplished here. This is just beyond exceptional.
spettacolare....
07:45 the most epic ending in music history!
Great, masterful execution. Excellent interpretation. The recording was done very professionally. The sound is powerful and yet very detailed. Bravo.
I really enjoyed your interpretation of this, one of my favourite pieces for organ.
Magnificent performance. The energy of it is totally thrilling.
The best Prelude in E by Bruhns I have ever heard. And this spectacular, dramatic performance is on one of the heaviest keyboard actions I have ever played. Look at Bernard's hands and shoes!
J'aime beaucoup cette interprétation énergique qui met bien en valeur la rythmique si riche et variée de la pièce.
Breathtakingly beautiful. Thank you.
Indeed, a wonderful performance. Thank you
This is a fantastic, vigorous performance.
Wow! What can I say? This is one truly enduring and sublime performance of a wonderful masterpiece by Bruhns. Mr Winsemius allows this instrument to fully breathe in those vitalicious moments of near silence in this enchanting work.
Wonderfull, brillant.
Exciting and beautiful expression! Bravo!

Ben Harris-Folb como fazr a flauta do órgão
Fenomenaal!
grande esecuzione e coinvolgimento totale! grazie
Vigor, clarity, turned phrasing and rhetorical sense. few organists have these qualities at the same time.
Young organists, you have an example to learn from: listen carefully !
Clarity, power, richness and precision,what more could we ask for?
Bruhns Praeludium in G and g :)
Prachtig gespeeld en mooi getimed allemaal, mooi opgenomen ook. Wat is het toch een prachtig orgel en een goede restauratie geweest met dank aan de kennis van de adviseur in dienst... Cor Edskes.
De schoenen 1:10 ogen niet authentiek.... die bestonden niet in de tijd van het orgel.... is mijn indruk. Knap dat je met die dikke zolen met noppen kunt spelen....
Greetings from Sefa ( he send me here and im thankful for that) 😊❤💣🔥
Bravissimo à cet organiste

Interessanter Effekt ab 6:10 durch immer weitere Arpeggierung der erst wuchtigen Akkorde. Danach höre ich nach vielen Interpretationen die Courante mit wechselndem Metrum rhythmisch richtig gespielt - vielen Dank!
Love the articulation!
From Sefa here. I love it!

Alucino con estos organista y con los compositores
Sefa sent us, beautiful piece of music!
What a wonderful gift Nik Bruhns left us together with Buxtehude , a legacy seamlessly continued ang developed by Bach , BACH the greatest Genius in Music :D :D
Very nice cadences and progressions.

SEFA send us to thank you for your amazing talent
Adembenemend uitvoering door de Heer Winsemius.
A shock!
Sefa sent me, this is amazing!
a master, realy
Wondering if Sefa checks commments again
A master in the noblest meaning of the word (Meister). Europe culture still not dead. Nobody could write such pieces nowadays but at least remains understanding of it's grammar and ability to play it. "Für Gottes Ehre" und für die Nord Deutschland musikalische Schule.
love from Sefa
Sehr schön!
Ottima interpretazione.
Thank you SEFA...
Thanks to Sefa, I saw this, it's amazing😇
Good music. Please make a Song wirh Sefa.
It is such a shame that so little of Bruhns' organ music has been preserved. I have the DVD from which this is taken, a documentary on the two organs at Alkmaar, with some bonus material from other organs, such as this. I highly recommend it to all lovers of the organ.
beautiful bassoon 16 in the pedal
Its not a bassoon but a bombarde
@@henkjansen9847 no, it's a "Bazuin 16 Vt", see it on a photo, e.g. one here: www.nieuwekerk.nl/orgelconcerten/ (background picture)
That's right but bazuin is Dutch for bombarde
Sefa send me this. It's amazing!!
Bruhns is the best!
killer!
Nice man i am from sefa
good job, what registrations have you used?
dare i say more trills than the Trillmeister himself?
Sefa Remix in coming? :3
#sefasentmehere
Those keys & pedals weigh tons Ive tried it
How is it possible to play with that kind of shoes?
What is the temperament of this instrument?
monoamiga equal temperament.
