I love the way Anna plays. Some musicians lose the music in their quest for technical perfection and others try too hard to impose themselves on the piece. Anna doesn't make either mistake.
I love her passion. You can see her love for what she does. I love listening to this kind of music now because it's delivered by someone who loves it and wants others to. Anna Lapwood is the Organ Queen.
What a pleasure to see, and hear, a young woman playing organ with such talent and joy in the eyes ! You show us the wide power of organ, both spiritual, classical and modern under your fingers (and feet !). Thank you for this fresh air in serious music.
I've always shied away from the Organ (and Harpsichord) but listening to Anna Lapwood play Bach has made me seek out all her recitals on TH-cam and i am now starting to develop an appreciate for this magnificent instrument and for the exceptional artist (and person) that is Anna Lapwood.
God must have surely composed such music through Bach.....heavenly. I have always held Simon Preston's Bach organ recordings to be unsurpassable..this is certainly at a similar level..lovely phrasing and dynamism and holds one's attention. These are tricky. Well played Anna.
An instrument obviously designed for an octopus 🐙 (who can also drink tea while they play) but Anna is it’s absolute master … er … mistress. You know what I mean. 😊 She is amazing.
I'm not a big fan of classical music, but somehow I made it to this video and enjoyed it! Especially the last part... wow! Seeing the way Anna plays (especially with her feet) makes me enjoy the music even more.
Very vivide and clean! Rhythmical and good tempo. Ariticulations , phrasing and accent were very natural and authentic, I felt very flesh, as if I met 21 century's New Marie-Claire-Alain?
00:28 I respect that you went to the trouble and learned to actually say "Bach". Too many lazy people say "buc" instead and that sounds so incredibly bad...
If I'm reincarnated as a 20-something British music lover, can I be your page turner? With iPads, does anyone even use page turners anymore? Lovely perfomance.
Why is it that smaller instruments such as this seem to have clearer articulation than the larger ones (e.g: St John's Smith Square in London--th-cam.com/video/TzK-tYFGQx4/w-d-xo.html)? Ms Lapwood's talent for the instrument and love of its related music are delightfully rendered for us.
think that the thing could be called acoustics of the building, or reverberation time, or some concept connected to these. combined with a larger distance of the recording gear to the instrument , in favour of any so called spatial impression .
Is it just me or am I hearing e naturals on measure 33 on the first movement on both hands when they are supposed to be e flats…?! Anybody cares to confirm? It just sounds so strange after the theme exposition on the dominant..
Very good. It's just that in view of performance practice in Bach's time with the short pedals, he had to use all toe, no heel. No big deal, just FYI. Good job.
russedav5. «No big deal». Well, we hear the difference between 9:37-38 (non legato) and 9:40-41 (legato), Sure, there will be a difference in musical express as well. Non legato brings more life to the music. A real challenge to play without heels has to be the pedal solo at the very end of the fugue, BWV 532. Keep in mind that the pedal board back then was plane, so the top and bottom keys were even a little further away from your feet then in our time. Because it is more fun to praise than to criticize, I would give her credit for not playing a stressful trill from the bery beginning of a long tone (9:56) but letting us hear the main tone before the trill begins. Also, it’s great to hear that she ‘s really playing correct at 10:05. Some organists cheat by playing triols, because it’s technically easier to play.

Playing two pianos and stepdance in one time is pure magic. 😳

Anna is as masterful an organist as there is. Expression without eccentricity, a rare combination and found in nearly all her performances.
"Expression without eccentricity" - perfectly describes Anna's natural enthusiasm and musicality.

My favourite of Bach's Trio Sonata's beautifully played by Anna Lapwood. 🙂
I've always shied away from the Organ (and Harpsichord) but listening to Anna Lapwood play Bach has made me seek out all her recitals on TH-cam and i am now starting to develop an appreciate for this magnificent instrument and for the exceptional artist (and person) that is Anna Lapwood.
Well, nobody is perfect...
Crystal clear playing, lovely to hear all the notes in a very suitable acoustic, thank you Anna
I've watched organists close up on large instruments and complex music.. Lapwood is truly amazing; her brain wiring would stump anyone else alive.
In a TH-cam world full of 5 manual, 100+ rank organs, I get really excited when I see a smaller organ nowadays. I thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you!
Once again Bach's music is in best hands in UK😍
Absolutely stunning, not just in the technical challenges, but in its sheer beauty in registration.
Thank you.
Thank you Anna.
Excellent
Great performance, Anna!
Ancora un meraviglioso tragitto nell universo grazie al divino Bach e a te.
Beautiful! And the organ piece wasn't too bad either.
It's almost as though she's dancing while playing. Fascinating.
Very nice performance!
God must have surely composed such music through Bach.....heavenly.

I. Allegro
II. Largo 4:43
III. Allegro 8:45
A very clear and limpid rendering of this sonata, in which C minor does not bring any darkness. Congratulations, Anna !!!!
Wonderful!
An instrument obviously designed for an octopus 🐙 (who can also drink tea while they play) but Anna is it’s absolute master … er … mistress. You know what I mean. 😊 She is amazing.
beautiful Thank you love registration too. Nice introduction about the sonaya,please I want more Anna Thanks
Such wonderful, sensitive, musical playing. Thanks!
I thought I recognised the organ, it is St Michael's Coxwold North Yorkshire
Superbly played, she chooses a perfect registration which brings clarity to the intricate writing of the great JSB.
Upvote for heel - toe. I love her technique.
Most enjoyable Anna and the scenic video clips ..beautiful. 🙏🌻
She plays exceptionally well.
I'm not a big fan of classical music, but somehow I made it to this video and enjoyed it! Especially the last part... wow! Seeing the way Anna plays (especially with her feet) makes me enjoy the music even more.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Pięknie oddany charakter utworu, z uczuciem i zrozumieniem treści. Dziękuję.
This is magnificent! Thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow, beautiful!
Started to listen with head phones and that was not working so I plunged in the surround sound so every one listened. very nice.
It's fine on good headphones, like Sony MDRv6. Not earbuds if that's what you mean.
I really enjoyed listeninng the whole Sonata but just loved Allegro.
Thanks for listening
Anna plays some beautiful organs... but this one sounds so... warm..... really .... what a beautiful sound...... great to listen to.
It's hard to think that classical music might not like it..... and especially Bach's music, the essence of music itself!
Epic. Thank you.
This is wonderful, thank you...
Thank you!
The Bach Trio Sonatas are his best pieces, to my ears. Too bad they are so bloody difficult to play! Nicely done, Anna. You are brave!
Excellent video, all round.
Very vivide and clean!
Rhythmical and good tempo. Ariticulations , phrasing and accent were very natural and authentic, I felt very flesh, as if I met 21 century's New Marie-Claire-Alain?
Bravo ! Très belle registration ! Grande précision et musicalité au top ...c'est génial !
The tempo is fantastic! Congratulations!
Amazing performance, very cool ❤
Very nice performance❤
BRAVA
Soberbio. Capacidad técnica sin límites. Bravo, organista, en su interpretación de "Il sommo"
ANNA....exquisita tu interpretacion...y que belleza...las danzarinas de tus pies en los pedales....
trés bonne organiste et bel orgue!!!!
Excellent. And where's that nice little organ ? Coxwold ?
Magnifique, toujours émouvantes ces sonates en trio. Merci Anna.
00:28 I respect that you went to the trouble and learned to actually say "Bach".
Too many lazy people say "buc" instead and that sounds so incredibly bad...
And for the really advanced: "Bach macht Krach"
Some folks don't want to think outside the Bach's!
Ach! Just come to Scotland and see where I grew up near Loch Rannoch!
Gerauchte Lachs!!
Very surprised to see Bach in her repertoire and played with such virtuosity, after all clips of her playing modern movie sound tracks on Instagram.
Tell me about it.
Interesting Organ...
Full marks
She’s amazing. It infuriates me that I can’t do this.
Likewise....
If you start now and play every day for 20 years we will see you on here
Which Church is this organ in ???
Well spotted. It's a beautiful little church.
Успокаивает, блин 😔

Is it just me or am I hearing e naturals on measure 33 on the first movement on both hands when they are supposed to be e flats…?! Anybody cares to confirm? It just sounds so strange after the theme exposition on the dominant..
edopitu…You’re right. In measure 33, she plays in the alto E natural instead of E flat.
Very good. It's just that in view of performance practice in Bach's time with the short pedals, he had to use all toe, no heel. No big deal, just FYI. Good job.

Oh, it's alright! 😂
Your tallent remind me of an American organist Diane Bish
Bish isn't fit to shine Anna's shoes. Anna is in a whole different league of musicianship.
@@richardharrold9736 Wouldn't be that harsh, but they are very different.
It really looks like Anna needs anew pair of mary janes ! Treat yourself. You are a fantastic organist!
She is probably so used to those that she won't change them till they literally fall off.
