Verissimo! Mi fa piacere essere in compagnia di lingua italiana ad apprezzare questo artista. Finalmente Bach con un fraseggio sensato, i giusti abbellimenti al semplice spartito, il tempo giusto senza vecchiumi tardoromantici.
A concert organist at its best at such a young age - beautiful and the balance between the sound on the manuals and the feet is perfect. I have enjoyed every moment. Thanks Jan.
Eine wunderbare Art diesen Bach zu spielen, einfach fabelhaft. Aber was mich weit mehr beeindruckt ist in diesen jungen Jahren das ohne Noten zu spielen. Klar wenn man viel übt spielt man Teile eh auswendig aber das gesamte Stück ist wirklich bewundernswert. Klasse Tempo, man hört alle Stellen, Fugenthemen und Alle Feinheiten dieses Stücks aus meines Sicht wunderbar heraus. Bitte weiter so. Und viel Spaß weiterhin beim Üben. Viele Grüße aus Augsburg
I guess he has a certain absolute pitch. That would help at least when practicing, because then he would have the whole concerto in his head as if he was hearing it and just pressing the right keys, so he could immediately hear every single wrong note, which really helps when practicing.
Some people just memorize music easily. As someone like that, I actually find that for keyboard instruments, and for organ in particular, memorization actually is the easiest way to do it. For me, it's much more mentally exhausting following three staves simultaneously in real time. Playing from memory paradoxically leaves more of my brain free to enjoy the performance and/or to adjust things that sound wonky. I don't know anything about the guy in the video, but I do not have perfect pitch.
Bonjour à tous, enfin une relève digne de ce nom ! Un jeu parfait, une exactitude absolue dans la restitution de l'œuvre de Bach ! Il y bien longtemps que je n'ai pas éprouvé, un tel émoi dans l'écoute de la 564 !!!! Magnifique. De pareils exécutions devraient être éditer pour faire découvrir au grand public , le vrai sens de l'écriture de JS BACH. Merci cher Monsieur, vous avez et je l'espère de tout cœur, une grande carrière de concertiste international devant vous. Bravi, Bravo ... C.G.
One of my favourite Bach organ works, played faultlessly and with great deference to the Classical style - ie where the notes speak for themselves and are subjugated to the technical skill of the interpreter. One usually hears the Adagio played without ornamentation but your version offers a fredh and totally authentic insight into this beautiful section. Ornamentation is a precarious skill for the performer, finely balancing the melody against embellishments, the latter in this stunning performance being both sensitive and appropriate. Next time I sit down to play this work, I shall not be able to get this recording out of my head. You are an inspiration and a difficult act to follow, Herr Liebermann, but please accept my gratitude.
Nota 1000, sobretudo na fuga, que faz lembrar a soberba execução do legendário pianista Vladimir Horowitz, num concerto por ele dado no Carnegie Hall, em 1965. Congratulações! Marcos Leite, Pianist.
Of course the composition is sublime. Your playing is measured, sensitive, and with wonderful registration. I can't begin to fathom the technical difficulties, though I've been listening to organ music live and on recordings for over 65 years. Thank you.
Semplicemente eccezionale!!!! Uno che ha eseguito a memoria tutte le sei sonate in trio di Johann Sebastian Bach ha una memoria incredibile, e anche nel video lo dimostra. E ha solo 19 anni se non sbaglio . Ha un talento naturale.
A brilliant performance, Jan, of Bach’s great Toccata, Adagio and Fugue in C major, BWV 564. The adagio gives a feeling of sublime peace between the intricacies of the toccata and the incredible fugue. As always, Jan, your interpretation and playing are masterful. You have the ability to bring the best to each organ you play. Many thanks
E' una delle migliori esecuzioni di questo pezzo che si possano sentire online. Sei davvero molto molto bravo! Davvero complimenti, spero continuerai a dedicarti a questo livello anche a tanti altri pezzi di Bach. Bravissimo!
So great to hear young adults so much into the pipe organ repertoire. He has become a masterful performer. Surely the pipe organ must be a factor in so much musical development, with an organist having an orchestra at his finger- and toe-tips! I also love Handel's organ concertos.
All I can say Jan: 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is a beautiful recital. I absolutely loved every piece you played, but particularly your own POSTLUDE. Thank you so much for your wonderful videos. I am “age pensioner” in Australia and a retired performance artist and teacher. I live in a yurt 🛖 and your videos add a touch of glory to my days .. praise God!
Stunning playing. Love the steady tempo and clear articulation. Every part clear and defined. Wishing you a wonderful concert career! Your Bach is always thrilling.
Ho i brividi veri! Ogni volta che ho il piacere di ascoltarti dico sempre di più: Quanto è bravo questo ragazzo, è bravo veramente! Non è semplice dare un senso a Bach e tu lo fai cantare... Dietro ad un esecuzione di questo tipo c'è un lavoro di studio immane! Continua sempre a stupire! 💪💪💪
One of my most loved Bach works. The joy springs out of the notes; JSB in a good mood and at the top of his game. This young guy gets into the Master's mood and releases its bouncy joy. Danke vielmals aus England!
Back in '93, I and some friends went to Salem Massachusetts. While in the Witch Museum, this was playing over the PA system. I didn't gray out. But one of my friends must've thought I was going to. He was my shadow the whole time we were in the museum. Sometimes certain pieces will do that to me.
I'm so happy to see that you've uploaded a performance of this piece, which might be my favorite Bach organ piece (but primus inter pares). I will listen tomorrow!
I had never heard (or seen) trills being played by the organists feet! What wonderful pedal work! I believe a "toccata" is an opportunity for the musician to show off their virtuosity and this toccata does just that. Thank you for sharing your delightful performance!
I like the fact you can hear each and every separate note. That's the sign of one who knows.
Just out of this world!! His pedal board work leaves me in total awe. Such a talented young man, you make my day special. 🤗X
Me too
Brilliant pedal solo - Tempo was perfect - not too fats or slow but deliberate with just the right speed on the pedals.
One of Bach's best toccatas and fugues masterfully played! BRAVO Jan!
C’est plutôt une des 6 sonates en trio; elles sont toutes aussi belles les unes que les autres!
Jan makes his intentions crystal clear. Brilliant playing.
Lode e lunga vita ad un eccellente organista che esegue Bach in modo meraviglioso!!!
Grazie ❤

Clarté et musicalité. Splendide ! Merci pour ce moment musical.

All from memory 😮. Brilliant

Absolutely love the ornamentation. Beautifully done. Brilliant playing.

I love the way you play the adagio with your soul. Maybe like Bach you are Gods voice on earth.

This just perfection !!
Awesome!! You're an amazing organist, Jan!! ❤❤❤❤
Dazzling performance

Wow! Seeing Jan play is every bit as enjoyable as hearing him.
Seldom is such skill and passion is found in an organist, yet a young one such as this. His playing brings tears to my eyes
He is THE organist for this generation.

This is a huge piece, difficult in so many ways. I love the steady tempo in the fugue…here it comes, get out of the way! Fine performance.
Técnica perfeita e excelente performance. Perfeito. Congratulation, parabéns! Brasil.
WOw....I'm always amazed at what goes in to playing this instrument.......YEARS of brain training!!! Stunning work, son.Really powerful performance.
Love the pedal point! One of my favourite moments in all music
All I can say Jan: 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I`ve noticed you too watch Paul Fey I wish he could be persuaded to play more substantial works like this!?
You play crisply, with vigor and refinement. I love your work. And I love Bach.
Bravo!!! I’ve been watching your videos all evening. I love your enthusiasm. I’m absolutely astonished that you always have the music memorized. ❤
Thank you for bringing such amazing music to life! This is exactly what my soul needed today. All the blessings to you.
Thank you so much! Happy to hear that!
This is a beautiful recital. I absolutely loved every piece you played, but particularly your own POSTLUDE.

Grazie Jan❤❤❤❤❤
Breathtaking musicality and technique. ❤
Magnificent and also without score, thank you very much for this very beautiful interpretation.
Reminds me of Virgil Fox playing; he refers to the piece as being like dancing a gigue; it can certainly take on that nature. Excellent playing.
Absolutely sublime! ❤
Just incredible! Bravissimo! Thank You, Jan!👏👏👏👏👏
Jan, Thanks for making my day a delight
Brillante, espléndido, elegante, agilidad maravillosa en la ejecución de esta obra musical para órgano de Bach. Jan Liebermann magistral !!
Groot respect Jan voor je spel: je techniek, je interpretatie en je registratie; en heel fijn, die akoestiek!

Amazing footwork
Thanks! Excellent performance - most enjoyable!
👏👍🙏 Molto alta la tua performance, rispetto ad un brano che può essere impegnativo! Notevole la destrezza alla pedaliera!! Molto OK!!
Truly magnificent playing! Clear, well-thought-out articulations - outstanding in every way!
Perfect voicings, perfect articulation. Superb. Non pareil. Proof that Bach was the original rock musician.
Sei bravissimo Jan!
Thanks!
Your pedal work is inspiring!
Meraviglioso, giovanissimo ma grandissimo organista.
È la Grazia di Dio che ti fa suohare così. Sei fortunato!
Reminding me of my own concert organ days.... love it.
Está é uma das minhas preferidas de Bach. Bela apresentação.

Köszönjük!
Awesome!
¡Gracias!
Simply: wow!
Wow, fantastic Jan! Looking forward to seeing you play at Selby Abbey in October! 🎹 🎶
fantastisch gespielt. Dieses schwere Stück von Bach auswendig gespielt. Einfach irre.
I'm so happy to see that you've uploaded a performance of this piece, which might be my favorite Bach organ piece (but primus inter pares). I will listen tomorrow!

Incroyable !!!!!! le ton le theme , le recueillement avec profondeur de l'Adagio Bravo !!!!
😴😔👌
Ich liebe dein Pedalen Solo, du spielst in einem anderen Universum ❤
