Bach the collosus of western music
Word cannot describe the heavenly beauty of this music. The very essence of nature and the human soul shines and engulfs everything while listening to this. Bach knew a secret, and this music is a path to getting a glimse of it.
+Actaeus Amen, Actaeus!
Learn how to play it, and you will appreciate its epic intricacy and beauty even more. The complexity of Bach's polyphonic music consisting of structures of separate voices and the way they came together to create one, combined flow of auditory bliss, is unparalleled in the rest of music history. If God existed and could write music, this is what it would sound like.
@Actaeus Yessir well said! Bach knew God! Through the BWV 537 starting @00:00 I can imagine him seeing God in His full glory sitting on His throne.
There's nothing like the sound of an organ
it is, without a doubt, the King of instruments
@@peachy7776 1000% agree
the sounds my organs make are considerable less impressive.
The very magic of his music comes from his faithful and truly understanding of the Holy Spirit of a Divine Inspiration.
Can you elaborate on what you just said?
@@justynak3867 I can. This is about a holy ghost proceeding from a Father and his Son (so most probably a male ghost), which apparently helped mr. Bach to compose, perhaps because he did not have enough talent of his own. And this then is the good message of hope for christians: if you do not have so much talent of your own, you can wait or pray and maybe this holy ghost will visit you and take your hand and miraculously make your hand write down a score, a poem, a novel or perhaps even a painting. Who knows....!
@@justynak3867 There is even more to this. What Mr. Nagaev teaches us is that if there is something you like very much, something you find very beautiful, something which lifts up your spirits, then you can know that it comes from God. Because a simple man, perhaps also a simple woman, cannot make something that would be so beautiful - God and his Son, through their holy ghost, must be involved in it, be it in a Bach composition, a Rembrandt painting or a Van Gogh, a song of Beyoncé, a Lucian Freud, a novel by Bataille, a movie from Paul Verhoeven, perhaps even a rap by R Kelly. Isn't that great? (or does the holy ghost only appreciate organ music.....?)
@@justynak3867 Perhaps one even ought to say that any beauty comes from God and his Son, through their holy ghost. Perhaps even that beauty equals God... That would also mean that there are many Gods and then also many ghosts, since different people very often find beauty (= God) in very different things, and what one considers beauty, someone else despises. In which case the former would find and adore a different god than the latter.
Did you find mine a useful elaboration, Justyna? I hope so and wish you well. That also to Mr. Nagaev.
Bach says ,
it's hard to find a melody that resonates as pleasantly in your ears and mind as my masterpiece playing with splendid skill and specutacular technique and makes you feel peaceful and calm .

Wow !!!! This Fantasia BWV 537 is very heavy, it sounds very dark, like death, just listen how beautiful
Indeed
Organ's Bach Music is unique, no other composer match HIM. The rest is just elementary art. Bach the best musician forever and ever. The favorite Musician Angel of GOD. B -A- C- H
And if he were an Angel sent by God on Earth ? ...
Well, of course. I remember Diane Nichollini, DJ at the Classical station in San Francisco, when Bach came in third in a listener competition for greatest composer (to Beethoven and Mozart) when she said "it's hard to imagine Johann Sebastian Bach coming in anything but first in any competition of musicians."
1000% correct Js Bach is the GOAT idc what anyone thinks
He truly is a master.

Per me l'organo e'lo strumento piu' bello e incredibile che siste...scende nelle profondita' dell'essere e arriva alle note sublimi....e' ombra e luce nello stesso tempo....e Bach e' assolutamente stratosferico..la sua musica e' sublime...❤❤😂❤
Je me suis toujours dit que la musique de Bach a trait à la contemplation,elle n'est pas perceptible seulement avec l'ouïe,d'autres facultés sensitives se dressent et s'éveillent en nous, dont celle de l'image. Ça peut vous étonner mais une fugue de Bach me procure autant d'émerveillement visuel qu'une toile d'un Caravage,et c'est cette beauté qui me transcende dans mes heures de contemplation.
Desde niño me encantaba el sublime sonido del órgano en la Iglesia. Así que ahora ya adulto sigo alimentando el espíritu con tan deliciosa armonía.
A very good rendition of these relatively well known pieces for organ of J S Bach and an excellent discover fot those who would not know them.
Complete Cosmos of Sounds!
What a great interpretation 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳
A great recording of one of The Best Composers 👍👍👍👍👍👍
God of music the real OG
Музыка на века. Спасибо.

Música sublime que me conecta con un poder creador.
I started to understand the depht of Bach`s music listening to this guy and especially these Toccatas and Fugues; good choise tho. I'll always pefer James Kibbie interpretations, so powefull and enormous!
This is like Dracula playing the organ at midnight
Thanks for sharing! Truly delicious joy for the senses!
Wonderful collection.my favorite starts at 19.56, and heavenly when it gets to 23.04. i was looking for it, loved it as a child.
i did not, still do not know the name....
Thank you for posting!
Tack ska du ha för så vackert ett musik! Bach tar oss upp till stjernerna och giver oss så större en hjerte, som en sol den skiner hög över människhets huvud. Tack för det.
Вот это махина вот это сила божья здесь все и правда и страсть и красота и любовь и истина и справедливость и суды за нераскаянные грехи и прощение. За покаяние в грехах о господи аллилуйя бах что же ты с нами творишь мы влюбленны в тебя навечно
Бах был человеком, движимым также верой. Я бы подумал, что тяжелая работа, самоотверженность была его большой частью, как и врожденный гений.
Откройте для себя Рудольфа Лутца из Бахверайна. Он импровизирует 4 части фуги и много знает о Бахе. Privet!
His notes never ponder themselves they are always strong
modern music such as EDM is set to almost child like melodies and rhythm. I can imagine a festival show were an audience is encompassed by a something like this.jaw dropping.time stands still.
I'm afraid their short attention spans would take over and they'd wander off. Fugal music makes very little sense to most people when it sounds like one big DAAAAAAAA I mean, what do you do with that if you're not a lover of baroque music? They'd head for the concession stands.
La música de órgano es imponente y sublime
Noooo you started with my favorite one!
It's like getting down to quantum level and being in the energy of particles.
Yes! You have found a way to describe it! I've never been quite able to explain how it feels listening to grand works of Mr. Bach.
beautiful
THANK YOU!!...
Wonderful music, sing a song to the Lord
yup. epic devotion through music, especially the organ
BWV 537: 1721 Gottfried Silbermann II/23, St.Georgen Rötha
BWV 538 & 542: 1736 Erasmus Bielfeldt III/40, St.Wilhadi Stade (rest.1990 J.Ahrend)
BWV 540: 1754 G.Silbermann/Hildebrandt III/47, Kathedrale Dresden
BWV 562, 564 & 565: 1730/55 T.H.G.Trost a.o. III/47(53), ev. Stadtkirche Waltershausen
The first piece is so majestic that Richard Dawkins himself would turn to a full blown Evangelist if he heard it :P
That is a good one!
+kingfire111 it could also a Christian into a devil worshiper
Kevin Davis lol
Is Bach a sign from God ?
I know your answer is tongue-in-cheek, kingfire, but: precisely not. Bach is proof of the wonderful possibilities of the human brain through the operation of chance and natural selection, combined with environment. Why turn to a supernatural explanation when the evolutionary one is so majestic? See Dawkins "The God Delusion" Pp86-87 "The Argument from Beauty".
So elegant
Remember, you can download Kibbie's recordings of *all* of Bach's organ music, free and legally, at www.blockmrecords.org/bach/
Easy listening. Also great inspiration for my organ compositions.
inspiring as i face my first organ recital
deborah colageo good luck!
thanks my friend!
Como la primera luz del crepúsculo, esta música abre los ojos a las viejas promesas y a todas las abundantes anomalías de la naturaleza. Evocadoras de poderes más allá de la observación, estas piezas mueven los hilos del corazón, atraen la nostalgia y despiertan arrepentimientos, vidas quemadas y el letargo de los Auditores¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thank you for sharing this video^^
the magic in this music comes from the fact that he wrote it for the Son of God
yup. epic devotion through music, especially the organ
For whom? Does God have a Son? Isn't that a blasphemy?
@@JPGroen
well you don't like that
First of all, this compilation is nothing short of stellar! However, I'm curious about something. What are we looking at starting on 37:56?? It looks like Rice-a-roni meets couscous that fell on the ground in a heavily wooded area.
Simply majestic! I would love to know the name of the first piece...most inspiring
+Marcos P. Ramirez Phantasia & Fuga in c, BWV 537
+Romanikant most appreciated, thank you!
piękne

37:57 What do cheese grits on shredded beef have to do with Bach organ works? (I do love the music. I also love cheese grits. Perhaps that's what they have in common?)
I think it's scrambled egg.
What are cheese grits?
who is that wonderful organist that plays the first piece, please?
Could anyone tell me the piece that begins at 19:57, please ? Thanx in advance
BWV 540
arsenp36 Thank you for the answer !!!
7:35-12:35-19:42-28:21
4:04 Fugue
What is the image after 38:00, a close up of cornbread?
+Matt Lemmon I was thinking more scrambled eggs...or couscous? Not too sure haha
Matt Lemmon amazing selection gracias from Madrid Spain
Why are there random commercials in the middle of the music? Not cool
45:29 I thought it was Tocatta and Fuge In D minor 😉
May I ask which organ is this (Silbermann, Schnitger, et al) and from which Chuch is it? It's a way of appretiation of the different organ builders. Thanks, very much
Heaven and hell music
Wow! What more can be said?
+Roy Andersen Hi Roy; Indeed "what more can be said?" Think about what you've heard and/or listen to it again. I'm sure you have the words ( the vocabulary) to express something other than "WOW!" How about: Why does this organist (like so many other organists) seem to have only one level of volume (ff or fff)? Why do most of these highly skilled and well educated scholars of Bach's music make Bach sound like a high speed freight train bound for Easter? Where are the changes in registrations and tempi? The written composition is only a map; it is not the territory. The real music is in the ear, not on the page. Imitation (of Bach) is not the highest form of compliment or proof of excellence! Where's the love, the joy? Etc., etc. Listen. I know you can do it. CVD
+Charles Davis are you an organist? I'm guessing not seeing as you do not know the technicalities of playing an organ. For a start, they don't have touch sensitive keys so you cannot simply alter the dynamics as you wish. This is done through stop changes.
Furthermore, you talk about the score only being a map but the organist playing these pieces is using appropriate stop changes and has done a very good job of playing these pieces as they should be.
Hi Will; I've been an organist for 50 plus years and taught piano and organ for half that time... still do. You can alter the dynamics via both stops and the pedals. And your ideas about "should" and mine are two different things. Thanks. CVD
+Charles Davis so basically because you've been playing organ for years, you think that everyone else is inferior and they should play in your style?
I never said or even suggested any such thing! Please don't bother me with your trivia anymore. Thanks Will. CVD

What happened on 51:30???
С Богом.

Is that a fungus pictured at 38:00?
what is the BWV number of the 7:47 piece? please :c
Hi Daniel, it's the BWV 538 Toccata and Fugue in D minor, it's also known as "Dorian" :)
thanks you very much
33:09-39:40-49:36
I believe we will see modern music take a shift towards composing in this random precision and utilizing digital effect/sound system to induce a full effect.
Try Tim Hecker's album Ravedeath 1972

I know most pieces, but I am not sure which one the first is? If anybody could give me the BWV nr./the name, I`d really appreciate it. Thanks in advance :)

¿alguien me puede decir como se llama la primer obra?
gracias
+luis flores BWV 537
Oh, what bad noises in upper frequencies thanks mpeg compression.... 😱
Bach's pipe organ music is sublime and elegant in one instance without regard to dynamic level since it must occupy the air space of a huge cathedral structure. Interpretation of dynamic contrast is at the will of the organist. it's just that basic. Mr. Charles Davis, i disagree with your comments in criticism of Mr. Roy Andersen because you belittle him without regard for Mr. Actaeus comments, prior, and placed yourself on a pedestal higher than that of the composer. what's up with that?
It would seem to me that organist is in a bit of a hurry in the Fantasia and Fugue; that his only interest is in getting through it....
