- Опубліковано 16 вер 2024
- JS Bach's (1685-1750) Prelude and Fugue in C major BWV 545 played on the William Hill organ of Arundel Cathedral, played at Caroline's request during a recent Virtual Church.
The Neumanns TLM170s were placed quite close to the organ case so you'll hear a really close and bright sound in this recording.

I don't know why, but I'm obsessed by this Prelude and expecially by this fugue. It has something special I can't tell. Anyone else?
Well, it was the intro piece on inaug. Of Ryde & Berg in Oslo Cathedral 1998, I recorded it on cass. Nobody less organiste than O. LAtry, Notre Dam
Many Bach pieces are like that. One thing is he uses a large amount of notes and chords compared to our music today which might sound exotic to our modern ear
WOW!!! So enjoying this piece of music. It sounds so beautiful and lively and really comes alive. Thank you Richard for playing this. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Beautifully played, Richard! You always exhibit such a heartfelt and passionate interpretation!
Beautiful. Thank you.
Super! I love (and need to learn) this! That opening pedal motif and sustained pedal - a wonderful sound in this accoustic! 😊
OMG!!! The best performance of BWV 545 I've EVER heared!!!! Magnifique!!! And this instrument...oh...and the acoustic...oh... I'm in heaven!!!
Thank you Richard!!!
Thank you!!
Very enjoyable Richard. I for one very much appreciate the cassock, it adds the context of a religious service to the music.
I was thinking that, too; I wish our cantor would wear one.
Greetings from across the pond! Very nice! I've always enjoyed BWV 545 since I bought the Hyperion set with Christopher Herrick's recording of it many years ago. So full of joy, and I love the singing character of the Fugue subject. Well played, Richard!
Wonderful. I so enjoy your presentations! Thank you.
I really like the tempo! Many thanks!
This organ is magnificent and your playing is perfect! I love the bright registration and your tempo, the mic position sounds great to me - so that it isn’t too muddy but captures the acoustic well! That last chord when you added the clarion made a perfect ending :)
This instrument has a bright personality, due to the fact that the current specification is much the same as the original built in the 19th Century by William Hill. Hill was one of the most famous English organ builders of the 19th Century, and we can clearly hear why!
@@ds1868 I’ve been lucky enough to play this organ before and the ‘sharp mixture’ composition on the great definitely adds a lot of brightness, overall a really wonderful instrument and voiced perfectly for the acoustics.
Thanks Richard. Magnificent Bach. Inspired playing and interpretation! Thanks (Graeme in Nepal)
Wow! Perfect job.
Fantastic performance!
Magnificent Sir Richard 👏
Lovely playing as always!
Sounds awesome! And it makes me want to visit that beautiful place even more, after skipping it due to heavy rains a few years ago, when I didn’t get off the train and just kept going to Chichester. LOL. 🎶
Great piece!
(When I saw the garb I had to check if t was St Patrick's Day ... again.)
This sounds so... Bach-ish! Perfect sampleset for this!! (Turns out it's not a HW sample set at all!)
ThePipeGuy - now now, what did I ask on your previous comment? Ta
Hi Patrick, this is a pipe organ that Richard is recording in the cathedral, not a Hauptwerk sample set 😊
@@caroline.balfour - You can't quite get the bass sound on Hauptwerk (well whatever you're using to suport Hauptwerk..)
@@caroline.balfour... Hi Caroline! Ya know about 30 seconds after I posted that, I began to wonder if it was real vs HW! Lol. So my post is a praise for how "real" HW can sound!! Thanks Caroline. :-)
Love the sound of this organ. Of British Cathedral organs, it sounds appropriate for the playing of Bach.
The organ sounds great
The socks add distinction to this wonderful performance!
Beautiful!
the prelude of this song always makes me think of ulrich's encore performance during the credits of a filmed recital at thomaskirk back in 2001 to celebrate the commissioning of the bach organ there. That recital can be found on this website, and i've probably watched it 50 times at this point. Now i just think "roll credits" when I hear this prelude lol
Sounds so much better 'for real' - especially the pedal rank (mark you - if you had room at home for the hardware, a bass speaker in a tube as the late Mr Leek suggested in the days of valve amplifiers - you migh get near).
Pretty please - do you need to wear a cassock - since you are tucked away up there, away from any prying eyes. Or is it so cold up there in Arundel...
I don't remember the ladder behind the choir stalls - but it's been many years since I sang there ...
Great performance Richard. As for the mikes, judging by the amount of reverb at the end I think you placed them well. It would have been easy to misjudge and place them too far back resulting in a 'wash' of sound rather than the clarity you captured. I do believe you're getting quite good at this young Sir 😉
You play in your socks? That wouldn´t be possible on my stiff pedalboard.
