Johann Sebastian Bach, Toccata und Fuge d-Moll BWV 565, Querflöte, gespielt von Helene Schulthess
Johann Sebastian Bach, Toccata and Fugue in D Minor BWV 565,
Flute, played by Helene Schulthess - เพลง
Because of the acoustic conditions of the place, the flute sounds like an organ. A great performance.
Really? A flute with lots of natural reverb maybe, but an organ?
Press the right button and an organ sounds like a flute.
Pppppppplplllpppppppppplppppppppppppppp
I don't believe it does.
This is what happens when you have all the perfect elements come together: 1) highly talented and virtuoso flutist, 2) Bach, and 3) acoustics. You, ma'am, do this theme and your instrument justice. Bravo!!!
Thank you! I appreciate your compliment. Kind regards. Helene
@@helenaschulthess7031 I have collected recordings of this piece on a few (so far, nine) different instruments. Your effort moves in real close to the top. A completely relaxing version. Nice.
@@spikespa5208 it makes me happy to hear that.
This woman is a sorceress and has an enchanted flute. That’s the only explanation for this magnificent performance.
(Kidding. She is amazing!)
Sorceress? Without doubt, an Angel. ;)
like ... ein zauberflote?
querflöte ist auch ein sehr schönes instrument. ich wusste gar nicht, das man das lied auch auf der flöte spielt. es ist wirklich wunderschön gespielt und ich verstehe nicht wer da einen daumen nach unten gibt. der müßte ja dann besser spielen können.
My favorite part of this piece is at 3:00
It sounds much better on a flute.
Big room reverb is hauntingly beautiful with this flawless performance... somewhere Johan is smiling
No it's the natural acoustics of the room.

Where was this recorded?
Where is this church?

@@LDixon007 Thank you!!
I used to think flutes were easy, until once my brain went red alert craving for more oxygen due to limit breaking. So I completely understand occasional interrupt to grasp for more air

I love this arrangement more than any other I've heard. The ethereal sound absolutely carries me away. This is the sound I dreamed of having when I began playing in school.
My teacher showed me this performance and I couldn't be more grateful. It just feels like magic
I didnt know I needed to hear this until after I listened to it. The master would be proud of your work. 😉
Thank you.
Thats the best thing I've ever heard. Drop it down, gorgeous.
Himmlisch! Einfach alles herum vergessen und in einen Ozean der Wohlklänge eintauchen! Bravissima und ein herzliches Merci fürs Teilen 👏💛
A marvellous and moving performance. Bach has met a modern interpreter, who sets the kernel of his art free. Thank you so much for a breathless listening.
Thank you for your very kind words.
Year after year, I come back to this video and am moved. Thank you for sharing.
It touches me, that you like my video so much. All the best and kind regards. Helene
I’ve been playing for over 30 years and this for me is the most incredible version of this tune played on the flute. Truly outstandingly professional playing ability and performance. With much appreciation and respect to you. Many thanks.
Thank you!
Sounds phenomenal. That seems like a long piece for the flute without any rests. It must be tiring to play that long without mistakes.
for the amateur flutist, with no castle around there's always Lot 3 parking lot UCLA, late at night. That's where i used to go to play..
Seit 6 Jahren höre ich Sie immer wieder gerne mit diesem Meisterstück, Frau Schulthess, und bin immer wieder hingerissen , beglückt und getröstet. Danke für diese Perle! Auch wenn ich da wohl selbst nie hinkommen werde, so zeigen Sie mir doch was mit der Querflöte möglich ist.
Vielen Dank, lieber Herr Mink. Ihre Worte freuen mich.
Ich habe noch nie etwas so schönes gehört ❤️. Danke .
Vielen Dank! Das freut mich sehr. Herzliche Grüsse. Helene Schulthess
Love the music, the location and the dress !!
This is insane, the amount of hours of practice that has been invested into this. Very well done and thank you for this.
Thank you!
Everything about this performance was absolutely beautiful. The ancient silence of the church, a humble red candle, your lovely elegant dress (so many flutists look ridiculous in their poofy, loud, or worse, over-revealing outfits.), and your own personal beauty and elegance. And finally, everything I just mentioned compliments your effortless mastery of the flute. Well done, good servant.
Thank you so much for this very kind words. With best regards. Helene
Maravilloso!
Klasse! Ich hätte nicht gedacht, dass das mit einer Querflöte möglich ist!
Sublime! Thank you for recording and sharing!
I was originally listening to this only for an assignment for what my teacher calls “Bachtober” but I am absolutely ENTHRALLED by this performance. As a highschool flute player who hopes to do music as an adult- I aspire to be like you!!!
Thank you! What is Bachtober?
My flute teacher likes when her students listen to infamous composers- in October we listen to Bach music!
Wow 9 people didn't like this!! What in the hell one has to do to please people...by the way this video is wonderful, including the acoustics
Fuipiedra Fui It is really good but it is disappointing to have only 1 flute while a fugue is minimum 2 voices. This one would be beautiful with 2 flutes.
Still good and by the way I didn't dislike :)
32 People don't like it
Utterly wonderful! Such tender feeling, such easy grace of execution, such unhurried interpretation, floating perfection, peaceful concentration, ego-less eye contact at the end. Truly excellent!
I know some of these words.
Mit der Orgel klingt es total imposant, aber mit der Querflöte ist es absolut wunderbar! Vielen Dank!
Ich danke Ihnen.
As I've played flute for roughly 25 years, I can certainly appreciate the skills of playing this piece so beautifully. I know that I couldn't have pulled this off. 🙂
Wow just incredible, a relative of organ
Great performance
A Precious, virtuous and beautiful Lady!
Thank you.
Sehr geehrte Frau Schulthess,
herzlichen Dank für diese schöne Musik und die ganze Stimmung!
Es ist wohltuend, zu sehen, dass jemand in der heutigen Zeit noch Musik aufführen kann mit ruhigem Körper und in geschmackvoller Kleidung ;-) Besonders aber gefällt mir, wie Sie aus der wuchtigen Orgelmusik etwas perfekt für die Flöte Austariertes machen, sodass es perfekt sitzt wie ein Massanzug. Dazu der schöne Raum mit dem einfallenden Licht und dem Lichtkegel gleich hinter Ihnen, die Wandmalerei, welche farblich zu Ihrem Kleid passt, und die Kerze auf dem Taufstein/Altar... "Mistail" kannte ich nicht (man übersieht es fast ein bisschen im Titel-Text) - es ist Ihnen auch wahre Kunst im Finden eines schönes Ortes gelungen.
Herzlichen Gruss und nochmal DANKE
Guten Abend, Ihre Zeilen freuen mich sehr. Vielen Dank! Das ist die St.Peters Kappelle in Mistail/Tiefencastel, Kanton Graubünden, Schweiz. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Peter_Mistail
Freundliche Grüsse, Helene Schulthess
This was simply amazing. Thank you so much.
Unbelievable ... the close-ups of the fingering are very nicely done & appreciated. The body and the flute are held so still, creating a beautiful and powerful visual effect to go with the already amazing sound.
Thank you!
Viele Gratulierungen für eine so schöne Vorstellung. Es ist Ihnen eine sehr gute Transkription von Orgel nach Flöte gelungen, die gleicht diese von Johann Sebastian Bach für Cello und Violin.
Vielen Dank. 🎶🌞🎶
Wenn ich dieses Spiel anhöre, kommen mir die Tränen. Was ist da los? Was höre ich, das mich so anrührt?
Zunächst einmal ist klar: das ist ein wunderschönes Stück Musik. Es strahlt eine Güte und und einen Frieden aus, der zutiefst wohltuend ist. Ich liebe Bach, er hat so eine geordnete Art, Komplexität zu schaffen und Schönheit auszudrücken, die meinem logischen Geist sehr entgegenkommt.
Dann ist da die Überraschung, dass Helena dieses Stück auf einem einzigen Metallrohr spielt. Ich habe die Querflöte als Instrument nie ernst genommen - ich hatte ja keine Ahnung. Das hat sich nun gründlich geändert. Was für ein warmer, die Seele umschmeichelnder Ton aus diesem Stück Handwerkskunst entweicht! Es ist Balsam für meine geschundene Seele.
Und was macht Helena da? Sie hat den Mut, sich alleine mit ihrem Instrument in einen uralten sakralen Raum zu stellen und uns ihre Kunst zu zeigen. Sie weiß, was sie kann, sie ist selbstbewusst. Meine Formulierung legt nahe, dass sie und ihr Können hier im Mittelpunkt steht - und das ist auf ein Art auch wahr. Aber ihr Können ist so weit gereift, dass sie sich überhaupt nicht aufdrängt. In ihrem Spiel wird sie auf eine Art durchsichtig, so dass die Schönheit und Anmut der Melodie leuchtend hervortritt. Es kommt mir so vor, als würde sie das Stück so spielen, wie es eigentlich gedacht ist. Ihre ganzer Einsatz dient nur dem Stück. Sie ist so mutig, so im Mittelpunkt, so meisterlich fähig auf ihrem Instrument, und dennoch ordnet sie sich dem Stück unter. Sie drängt ihm keine Eigenheiten auf, sondern lässt es für sich sprechen.
Dieses Fehlen von Eitelkeit sagt viel über sie. Ich kenne sie nicht, und doch meine ich, viel von ihr zu spüren und sehen. Ein Stück so innig zu spielen, das erfordert in meiner Fantasie - ich habe ja keine Ahnung von Musik - die ganze Person, und die ist auch spürbar beim Hören.
Wenn ich hier zuhöre, höre ich tausende Stunden leidenschaftlichen Spiels mitschwingen, aber auch ungezählte Stunden disziplinierten Übens mit Frustrationen und Verzweiflung. Hier ist ein ganzes Leben enthalten, das uns ein wunderbares Musikstück präsentiert.
Vielen Dank für dieses Geschenk.
Translation from Google:
"When I listen to this game, tears come to my eyes. What's going on there? What do I hear that touches me like this? First of all, it's clear: this is a beautiful piece of music. It exudes a kindness and peace that is deeply beneficial. I love Bach, he has such an orderly way of creating complexity and beauty that appeals to my logical mind. Then there's the surprise that Helena plays this piece on a single metal tube. I never took the flute as an instrument seriously - I had no idea. That has now changed thoroughly. What a warm, soul-caressing sound escapes from this piece of craftsmanship! It is balm for my broken soul. And what is Helena doing there? She has the courage to stand alone with her instrument in an ancient sacred space and show us her art. She knows what she can do, she is self-confident. My wording suggests that she and her skills are central here - and that's true in a way as well. But her skills have matured so much that she does not force herself at all. In her playing, she becomes transparent in a way that makes the beauty and grace of the melody stand out. It seems to me that she is playing the piece as it was supposed to. Your whole mission serves only the piece. She is so brave, so central, so masterfully capable on her instrument, yet she subordinates herself to the play. She does not impose any peculiarities on him, but lets her speak for herself. This lack of vanity says a lot about them. I do not know her, and yet I mean to feel and see much of her. To play a piece so intimately requires in my imagination - I have no idea about music - the whole person, and that is also noticeable when listening. Listening here, I hear thousands of hours of passionate playing, but also countless hours of disciplined practice with frustration and despair. Here is a whole life contained, which presents us a wonderful piece of music. Thank you for this gift"
Toller Kommentar, der wohl unterging.
Every year I come back to this video just to be moved by your amazing performance. This is one of my favourite musical pieces and you made it even better! 🙏
Thank you. Your words make me happy.
Absolutely brilliant, thank you x
Beautifully played! Excellent!
assolutamente splendido! ho trovato la tua interpretazione anni fa e sono così felice di ritrovarla. l'acustica è superba e tu hai un talento straordinario. ci vogliono vero cuore e passione per padroneggiare un brano musicale così caro. grazie per aver condiviso questo con il mondo.
¡Gracias! Realmente aprecio tu comentario.
Great interpretation! For me it is perfect... if I imagine the pedal tones mentally.
OMG I am just spechless by this play.. I can say only two words... sublime and divine. Bless you. 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you.
Absolutely incredible! Thank you so much for this beautiful experience
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing this.
Beautiful , wonderfull sound with acoustic perfect ♥️♥️♥️
The beauty of this music is not only in the marvelous sound but how it reveals the beauty of the human mind in both its composer and the performing artist.
O mój Boże!!! To najpiękniejsze wykonanie jakie kiedykolwiek słyszałam! Iście anielska muzyka, grana przez samego Anioła. Brawo Helenko!!!
Wunderschön gespielt,mit gefühl und ausdruck. Perfekt.
Vielen Dank.💚
Thanks for this great moment of pleasure !
This is so beautiful and soothing! Love listening to it.
I have listened to this composition many times played on many different instruments, but somehow I can't shake the feeling that concert flute is simply the best choice. It still has this grandiose feeling, but the flute gives it also eerie, otherworldly absolutely unique feeling.
This never gets old! Beautiful music played beautifully!
Beautiful ! Thank you !
Just fantastic.
*AMAZING! THANK YOU FOR THIS*
Classy and smooth ! Bravo
I completely love this! Gives me a complex and makes me want to learn it at the same time. Absolutely beautiful!
Bonsoir Maître
Bonsoir Helena.
Superbe interprétation de cette Toccata à la Flûte.
Sublime😍
Merci.
Bruno
This would sound amazing on the oboe in a similar environment...same key as flute as well so it could use the same sheet music...fantastic masterfully musician here...
Thank you. It is an arrangement of Jean-Claude Veilhan (Ed. Alphonse Leduc, Paris) Go for it. Kind regards. Helena
Helena Schulthess do you know what's the name of this place where the woman performances the fluge song? I would be very happy to know it☺️
Jeffery Poage The Breathing is excellent. That is what makes it very difficult. She is only playing one note at a time.
Wunderbar! Danke aus Berlin!
Every time I hear this video I cry. Sound just fills me up and I'm grateful for Bach. Thanks Helena.
Speechless !!!! OMG How I admire her !!
Simply TOP CLASS!!
So hab ich diese berühmte Toccata und Fuge in d-Moll noch nie gehört. Sehr beeindruckend!

Очень продуманно исполнено и с человеческим сердцем! С большой радостью послушал. Темпы сдержанны для церковной акустики просто идеально!!!
Spassiba. 😘
