Bach Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565

- Опубліковано 24 бер 2009
- Bach toccata and fugue played on the chapman stick by Bob Culbertson. The chapman Stick invented by emmett Chapman is a 12 string touchboard. Tapping the strings into the frets creates enough vibration to be amplified. See my site stickmusic.com and Emmett;s site www.stick.com for more information about the Stick. and the music.
You do have to admire the 39 people who gave this a 'thumbs down.' To let the world know how ignorant they are of genius and mastery is pretty ballsy. This music was written by a musical genius and rendered here most artfully by a master. Thank you, "Dr" Bob, for sharing your magic. You inspire.
To the thumb downers,first...
Have you ever even seen aChapman Stick B4?
Second,you 40 or so....your taste is in your ass...
Well done Maestro!
What a nice time it was back then to see dislikes
39 out of 8.4k is probably the error rate, ie pressing the wrong button.

That's just 8.4 thousand who don't know Bach's Tocatta And Fuge is not a jazz composition.
Bravissimo!!! You are the best chap-stick I've ever watched! Congratulations, man! ❤👍👍🎸🎸🍻🍻
As an organist, I find this a wonderful version of one of my favorite pieces to play!!! Thank you for this video. I am amazed at what you do with your fingers and some strings. It took me 3 keyboards and pedals to achieve this!!!
Bach: organs look weird in 2017
I'm blown away. Really, bravo. I've never seen the stick played like that. I just did a search for Chapman Stick and I was intrigued by your entry. Watched the whole thing. Simply amazing. Thanks, you made my day. Peace. Scott Fitzgerald, Quincy, IL
Very night... I have never heard of a "Chapman Stick" before clicking on this link and I am glad I did. Great fugue!
This is the kind of video that deserves millions of views.
Just beautiful.
The wishful thinking of a sad little guy who gets his jollies from being a (very small) cock on the internets.
Dildo Shwaggins Thus isn't Grinder. I'm not interested in your micropenis.
come on people its dildo schwagins he never was a good troll
this came up when i was searching for baliset music (you know, like from Dune) and honestly this is exactly what i picture when reading. cool stuff.
I know this has been around for a while, but it's an amazing rendition. Sounds almost harpsichord-like due to the string percussion and timbre.
This piece often gets a strange wrap but you have to remember it was written as a love song. Both this instrument and the wonderful rendition help to bring this piece out of the "creepy organ song" context and highlight the love that was put into it. Wonderfully done
I just imagine JSB seeing this performance. The unusual instrument, the interpretation, I can’t image he’d not be fascinated and very pleased.
I like his version of the pieces. Lots of people are sticklers for playing exactly what's on a page, but I like the player to put his spin on it, because it make the piece come alive. Nice.
A person who has raised the level of artistry on a relatively new instrument like this is worthy of a Macarthur fellowship, IMHO & FWIW.
I do agree that Mr. Culbertson is one of the greatest stick players out there. He is the kind of person who extends the boundaries of what can be done and open new paths to the rest. Way to go!
Very Nice!
Classical Music truly is the best!
I'm sorry about what Westinghouse and the government did with your work.
This is AMAZING!!! I love Bach! I am 69, am getting ready to buy my first Chapman Stick. I live in a small town in Central Texas and will have to teach myself. I taught myself to play guitar when I was 16 on an $8 guitar I bought in Juarez by listening to Peter Paul and Mary 78 & 1/3 long playing vinyl records....
My mind can't find a logical reason why anyone would dislike this.
They are deaf RIcky Martin fans...what you can expect from them???
Australians trying to like.
Truly outstanding Bob.
Magnificent! You always amaze me, Bob, with the music that you and the Chapman Stick can produce.
Masterful! Beautiful! Made me cry. Great rendition of this BAROQUE classic.
This is so brilliant that it’s staggering. I am totally in awe. I have been playing guitar for 58 years and have been considering trying a Chapman Stick, but the learning curve seems daunting. Watching you, Sir, has me wondering whether I could ever hope to master this instrument. Your performance on it is as far away for me as guitar once was when I was 8 years old.
One of the best and simplest yet expressive tones used to cover this song, imo. Bravo
Eddie Van who?!! Mr Bob you rock!! Thank you for morphing this work of a musical genius into something truly extraordinary. You have skills. Wow. Now, please excuse me while I pick my jaw up from the floor.
I was just thinking similar. EVH and thus man. THAT would be something to get me a doctor about!
Wonderful preformance and interpretation by Mr Cullbertson. I have never heard of this instrument before and it has a Wonderful tone that reminds of both the citar, cembalo, lute and elctrical guitar. I hope to hear more Bach from Mr Cullbertson in the future.
I remember seeing you when I used to sell tie-dyes at festivals. I saw you a few times at the show in Occoquan, VA. We talked about the chapman stick and music in general. I still have some of your CD's. Glad to see you still playing. Such a fantastic talent on a remarkable instrument
Bob, another amazing performance! If Bach had a Stick, I think he would've performed this piece on it, given his love for the clavichord. Thanks for another great creation!
Have been listening to your Beatles tunes, and been thinking that the Stick was like a baroque instrument, and I'd love to hear some Bach... and this just popped up! So, thank you for doing this. It seems to lay so well on the instrument. I hope you had fun with it. Bach and the stick seem to go together like peanut butter and jelly!
I never get tired of watching this
Bob, that was just incredible.
Classical Music on a Chapman Stick? This is awesome.
I could listen to this all day...
Yes, I have ALWAYS been flabbergasted by your skill, but my special thanks for doing the Toccata And Fugue in Dm!
Ahhhhhh Bach!!!
Good God what have I been missing?
It was just yesterday that I discovered you ( and the Chapman stick). Today I am a devotee! Spanish style, Bach, Little Wing or Blues it doesn't matter -- your virtuosity is apparent and awe inspiring. And I can see why someone with your talent would be drawn to such a wonderful axe. 10 stars! ( 5 for each hand)
Amazing instrument, amazing performance...
!!!!!!!!!
You are the best Stick player on youtube, other than Rob's One Cloud. Your videos are fantastic. Thank you for posting them.
I stood in front of you for about 1/2 hr watching you play at the Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Festival. If I could have stayed all day, I would have. Amazing is not even adequate enough to describe your talent.
Awesome as always, Bob ! Outstanding performance.
After the years I keep coming back to this masterpiece on strings, thanks for sharing this with us Robert!
So precise and sensitive. Wonderful!
Its amazing how your interpretation sir makes this sound so jazzy sometimes. I'm totally mind-blown.
i've never heard of a chapman stick before, but the musical community and you tube are now richer because of it. thanks for posting.
Wow, just totally wonderful Bob.
This is perhaps the finest versions of this masterpiece I have ever had the privilidge of hearing!
A true treat for the ear and a joy to the heart! Thank you! Keep the classics alive!
This is so extremly great. All star-master level. Love the instument. Gretings from Sweden.
I'm just lost for words. It's been an extremely long time since I've this piece has brought me to tears.
That's was beyond beautiful. Thank you so very much! ♥
The fugue piece was all was my favourite classical price. Robert really gave it life with the chapman stick. BRAVO!
As a guitarist, I'm flabbergasted. Bravissimo to Bob Culbertson! Thank you for posting all of these; I can't get enough of your music! It's official--I'm in love with the chapman stick. *sighhhhhhhhhhh* :)
That is so beautifully done Bob Culbertson. I am happy to see you performing.
Beautiful, simply beautiful.
Amazing work! Truly mesmerising.
I've loved this Bach masterpiece ever since my college roommate, a music major and incredible organist played it over and over on the campus organ. I've heard it played on the organ at the Cathedral of Lund, Sweden and by orchestras, but have to admit this rendition is right up there with the best of them. Had never heard of a Chapman Stick until now. Great platform for this magnificent Bach composition.
Wonderful music and wonderful performance. We are all enriched and encouraged. Five stars is all we can give?
thank you very much for sharing. Great playing. I dont know this instrument but like the sound. Much respect to you and all your beloved ones. Merry christmas.
i appreciate the people that take time to learn these types of instruments.
This is so excellent it makes me think Bach wrote it for the Chapman Stick. It just sounds... right. I love it.
Genial interpretación. Mis mas sinceras felicitaciones.
Best Chapman Stick player alive! You, Bob Culbertson are The Master!
I think I first heard this recording 13 years ago and it still makes my eyes damp.
Beautiful and super-impressive! Thank you
Womderful. What a well spent 8 Minutes. I can only imagine the practice time that you had to put in this adaption. Marvelous! Greetings from Vienna!
It starts out absolutely remarkable and just gets better and better. OMFG

That was incredible Bob.
Fascinating to listen to and watch, brilliant,.thank you
What an amazing performance. Well done. My God!
Beautiful and wonderful - many many thanks.
Wow amazing bob, great to meet you!
I saw Bob and his Stickband play in Ca. back in the 80's.
He rocked the stick back then. He had some very interesting guitars;-)
The guy is amazing!
So very beautiful. Thank you, Mr.Culbertson.🙂
Excellent... A fine show of both musical talent...
I saw you in San Francisco earlier this month playing out in front of the hard rock cafe. I was visiting there from South Dakota. You're such an inspiration man.. Amazing sounds come out of those fingers!!
The skill and the tanisity is musical, Thankyou
Just amazing... thank you Bob!
I got to meet you when you played at my college. DeAnza college in CA. 1992. It was a pleasure to meet you and I have been in love with the Stick ever since then. Amazing instrument.
Asombroso, extraordinariamente Musical!!!. Gracias por vuestro Arte!!!
Can't imagine the amount of work this took! My hat is off to you, Sir!!!
Fantastic! Creative use of a truly new instrument (circa 1971) and a truly classic Bach piece (~1704~1750). Well performed. Thank you!
First time seeing this awesome instrument and suddenly flabergasted by your skill, master :)
Look for Guillermo Cides if you like
guillermo are so great, tony levin too but diferent
I love that sound. beautiful acoustics too
Amazing music my brother. Simply amazing
Saw him play at Pier 39 in SF this weekend, this guy is an absolute total complete Beast! Super nice guy and probably one of the best musicians if not the best musician I've seen with my own two eyes! Such a huge repertoire and he played it all day long flawlessly!
Wow, that is amazing! This, in my opinion is an amazing guitar song! But especially for the STICK. I love that instrument and song! Great job!
My favorite pipe organ peice that absolute brilliant justice was done to..........Thank you...........
First time I actually danced to Bach's music ! Soul touching :)
Thank you so much for posting this. It's very inspiring.
Beautiful playing of a classic piece of classical
Bob is a national treasure. His skills are as developed as they get. When Emmet Chapman himself acknowledges Bob as the best there is…fwiw, his guitar chops would leave most accomplished maestros take notice.
Absolutely Beautiful!
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing this.
Best thing I have heard on a Chapman.

Thanks to this good mood you give me for the whole day :D !
That is a GREAT piece of arranging!
These músics should be considered genius.. They are genius... Simply amazing
