  • This arrangement of 'Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland', performed by Leo van Doeselaar for All of Bach, is full of mystical expectation, which is underlined by the ‘quiet’ performance of this performance. Although Bach borrowed the form from Buxtehude, in style BWV 659 would not be amiss as the middle movement of an Italian concerto. All the elements are present: a walking bass, a duet of middle voices, and a leading upper voice.
    Recorded for the project All of Bach on June 23rd 2014 at the Walloon Church, Amsterdam. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel bit.ly/2vhCeFB and consider donating bit.ly/2uZuMj5.

    Many years ago I heard this piece, uncredited, on the soundtrack of a film. I knew it had to be Bach, so I went to a big music store in London and looked through all the books of Bach organ music, hoping I could remember enough to recognise the piece. I found it. It took hours. But it remains my favourite piece, and I always play it at the start of Advent. Thank you for this beautiful and sensitive performance.

      @@Transformed70 It was almost 40 years ago, so I don't remember the title. I'm pretty sure it was a documentary film about the island of Jersey, or maybe the Channel Islands in general. During the section about the local churches this piece was playing in the background. I don't know if it was played at the church itself or maybe it was just a 'generic organ piece'. It wasn't credited (I looked for it). But just those few bars made enough impression for me to hunt down the piece and identify it.

    I dont know if there is a better way to express the greatness of the human existence and think of its volatility. I mean, look at that organ: enormous, sumptuous, yet sober and uniform in color and shape. The sound: great and powerful yet tenderly expressive. And bachs music eternal and divine, yet inaprehensible just like all sounds. Magical, excelent interpretation and the shots are a big big ten. Love it

    Excellent performance and videography, as always. I find it hard to believe anyone who is sensitive to music and even a little knowledgeable could press "dislike". Wonderful singing style with long phrases and wonderfully expressive cadenza at the end. Yes, the harmonies crunch with with so much dissonance, and, while knowing this, I can tell the performer is following each melodic line of the accompaniment. I would challenge those displeased listeners to even try to hear that. I have loved every cantata you all have recorded at such high quality and am pleasantly surprised to hear you're doing the organ music of JS Bach as well.

    The stepwise bass with all the neighbor- and incomplete neighbor notes is what I love about this piece in the same manner like bwv662, and these harmonics is what we learn (and admire) from Bach in textbooks after all. But I think this piece shows the harmonic ground plan a lot clearer with probably very few changes in it, making the well crafted architecture type more evident

    The organ sounds so expressive in this piece, and played by Leo van Doeselaar this stiff piece of musical equipment, - the organ! - becomes alive.
    I often think that JSBach would try to get the most out of each instrument he came in touch with, - writing music which fit the instrument's abilities, and then some more genious added.

    Bach is, by far, the best musician ever and a great believer in God and his son Jesus Christ. Curiously, opening the competition to occupy the position of director of the music school and the church of Saint Thomas in Leipzig, several musicians presented themselves. After the presentation of the respective works, Johann Sebastian Bach occupies sixth place. Due to different reasons, the five before him resigned, Bach did accept the position of school and church musician. Councilman Platz observed in the final committee session that, "since we can't get any of the best musicians we will have to choose a mediocre one." What an unfair and lapidary phrase! How many times are people's lives decided in this way!Bach's music is that of a huge believer in Christian dogmas. Most of his works have the following inscription at the beginning: I.I (Iesus iuva: Jesus help me) and ends with S.D.G (Soli Deo Gloria: only glory to God). Such was Bach's faith that, in the words of his son Carl Phillip Emanuel Bach, "the whole family began daily activities by praying the creed."
