"Baroque Jewels" is a Playlist selected for you by our Music Director, Predrag Gosta. It contains some of the most exciting music videos and amazing performances by artists we love and respect. J.S. Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor for Organ, BWV 565, is the first video in this series - presented to you in HD (1080 resolution).
To those complaining that the pitch is off ... this Trost organ was built in 1730 when Bach was very much active as a composer. There was NO pitch standard across Europe at that time, and even the organ in the adjacent village might be tuned differently. The tuning "standard" of A = 440 Hz is a MODERN convention ... this organ is actually tuned at A = 466.8 Hz. Mr. Stamm is being absolutely AUTHENTIC. Stop criticizing this amazing organ!
I am happy to present this video as my first choice in the "Baroque Jewels" series on this channel.
Большое спасибо за прекрасное исполнение величественной музыки И. С. Баха в качественной записи!
