My organ teacher told me that if I mastered the 6 trio sonatas I would be capable of playing anything by Bach, and I found them very hard indeed. This lady's performance is very musical and technically very good; I love the registration on the last movement especially.
The light touch for the pedal notes really separates this performance from others, it is so light and delicate. That, on top of the complex polyphony integral to these pieces, really indicates top-notch organ-playing skills. Big Thank You!! (from Canada)
Thank you for posting this superb video. Your playing is musically mature with clear articulation and well chosen tempi and registrations. This is some of the finest Bach playing I have listened to. The organ is also beautiful and just right for Bach. I have really enjoyed watching your performance and will return to watch it many times. Hopefully you will record some more of the Trio Sonatas. I will keep watching! Thanks.
Splendide interprétation de la 2ème sonate en trio. Johann Sebastian Bach, père de tous les musiciens et de tous les mélomanes, serait heureux de vous écouter !
Justesse excellence dans le style et le toucher. Une interprétation de référence. Vous êtes une magnifique personne. Merci pour l'émotion et l'intensité de votre jeu. Cordialement. Olivier F
A beautiful interpretation Katja with a lovely dialogue between the manuals and the pedal. The organ is very suitable for the music of Bach. Johann Sebastian would be proud of you.
Tout-à-fait remarquable, et quel orgue tout indiqué pour jouer ces sonates. Ah ! que j'aimerais entendre les cinq autres. J'entends "en filigrane" la chère Marie-Claire Alain. Merci beaucoup de nous servir ce plat de roi !
Wonderful performing, you can feel the harmony and style of Bach through her hands, and yet can set upon the same level of Ton Koopman's version, the registers seems that you handled it under outstanding way, the pedal is so accurate and precisely well played and the manuals are very exquisite on this performing, there is not many like this one in which you can even hear clearly the scales of notes and its sections. Thank you very much for share your talent.
This is such a lovely organ sound and so wonderfully suited to these sonatas. The movements are also so beautifully played. Thank you for posting this!
Re-listened to this recently and I STILL LOVE it! Thank you so much for such a wonderful performance, the music was very crisp, lively and highly technical, likely how JSB intended. The pedal work at 9:00 was such a great intro for the fugue in 3rd mvt Satz Allegro!
Sorry for my bad English. In the first movement there is much to enjoy! Non legato and several small details that makes me happy. And the final chord is brilliant! When it comes to the second movement, well...I want to hear some ornaments, especially after you allready have played the theme one time. I hope you will continue like this, good balance between manuals and pedal. You dare to finish the movements without killing the music with ordinary ritardandi in the end.
@Andrew Ernyes Lady Gaga is a pretty decent artist. What did you ever in your life in music or art that can match her? While I'm no fan of her I respect her and her audience as well and yes, she does absolutely fine! Oh wait, your channel is empty...which is really not too much you have to offer so far other than your ignorance and disrespect. Show us more of your better side, please and be welcomed by any community then!
These 6 trio sonatas are still very difficult music pieces for a XXIth century organ player. Just imagine what they could have been for a XVIIIth century organ player...
These sonatas were written by JSB for the eduction of his son(s) , but they go far away from the study exercice and are all 6 masterworks. This sonata in c moll is perticularly moving due to its minor tonality.. The tempo and rregistration is perfect.
Sehr schön, Katja. Sie haben recht wenn Sie das Largo sehr langsam fühllen. In den meisten Fällen ist Largo langsamer als Adagio, aber ich finde es hier ein biszchen zu langsam. Es ist aber ein wares Vergnügen sie spielen zu hören ...und zu sehen. Ich bin eifersüchtig auf deinem Technik.
Pourquoi certains organistes éprouvent-ils le besoin maladif d' ajouter des ornements inutiles qui de plus ne figurent pas sur la partition! Respectons de grâce l' oeuvre de Bach. Je joue de l'orgue et j' apprécie la sobriété magnifique de Jean-Sébastien.
Merci pour votre commentaire, mais regardez l'école d'orgue française, des Duprè, Joulain, Chapuis etc. Il en bougent pas, eux, et qu'est que leur musique parle.
Katja Sager All you need to do is play the second movement Andante instead of Largo, and most importantly the pedal line needs to be legato. I would put an oboe in the upper register, and more tremolo. Otherwise - Brava!!!
Hallo Katja! Jetzt bin ich aber doch traurig, daß Du auf meine E-Mail nicht geantwortet hast. Ist Dir jetzt doch der Erfolg zu Kopfe gestiegen? Möglicherweise! Es ist mindestens genauso wichtig, ein guter Mensch zu sein, wie perfekt (nicht perfektionistisch) Orgel zu spielen! Falls das verloren gegangen ist, korrigiere es so bald wie möglich. Ich warte auf die Beantwortung meiner E-Mail! An meiner Einschätzung ändert sich hierdurch nichts. Ich kann (Ihnen) gar nicht böse sein! Oder war es das "Du"? Warum nicht? Die Engländer und Amerikaner sagen grundsätzlich "You". Ich halte das "Sie" für einen logischen Fehler der deutschen Sprache! Ein Mit-Mensch ist "Du". Oder glaubst Du, Jesus oder Gott würden Sie mit "Sie" anreden? Niemals? S.D.G.: Soli Deo Gloria! Bessern Sie sich! :-)
ognuno ha sensibilita' diversa. Non ci si puo' aspettare da un germanico di sentire le cose come un focoso italiano. Cosi' come non si puo' forzare un sudamericano ad avere il rigore di uno scandinavo. A me piace questa interpretazione, il suo cuore lo sento, batte diverso dal mio ma c'e'. Bach non era di certo Latino.
Carissima Katja, hai una buona padronanza dello strumento e della tecnica. Purtroppo nell'interpretazione manca il cuore, è la cosa più difficile da metterci... Peccato !
Vous jouez très bien, les respirations et les phrases sont là. MAIS pourquoi vous remuez autant ? ça ne rapporte rien à l'interprétation de la musique.
+Philippe Marcaille bah peut-être que si elle ne "remuait pas autant" l'interprétation n'y serait plus... peut-être vous manque t-il un peu de pratique d'un instrument pour le savoir !

This woman is from another planet for sure!
Wunderbar, vielen lieben Dank für diese edle Darbietung…. Seelenmusik 🌈
Thank you very much... Congratulations, very good playing with a good Organ. Live Long and Prosper.
Onovertroffen doorleefd muzikaal...
Een vreugde om te beluisteren Vele dank en proficiat..!
I love this amazing artist! I can't look at a male organist anymore! New video, please ... please
...danke heute morgen
Merci pour tant de beauté.
Magnifiquement interprété, sur un orgue qui se prête à cette musique. La prise de son est très agréable.
Sublime, merci !

Upvote for your comments on articulation and registration. Ms.Sager got it just right!

Ich könnte stundenlang dem Tanz der Füße folgen - welche Grazie!
Nur eine Frau hat ein ähnliches Talent gehabt (speziell bei den Triosonaten), das war Marie Claire Alain
Sie haben so schön gespielt!
❤🙏🏼

Très très belle interprétation, belle registration et bon tempo...merci...
Katja, very nice interpretation. Thanks for posting!
1. (0:14) Vivace; 2. (4:00) Largo 3. (8:59) Allegro
Brava! Una delle migliori interpretazioni di una Triosonata presenti nel web. Ottimo anche lo strumento!
Such a beautiful and amazing clip. Thanks for sharing this.
She's good! No other comments necessary........ Wonderful!!!!
A piece of music of Bach less known but of the most impressive and expression of his genius
¡ Fenomenal . Magnifica interpretación. Saludos desde Madrid.
credo si tratti della migliore esecuzione di questa trio sonata disponibile on line. Brava Katja!
Another Gem from Bach's Six-Pack! The Trio Sonatas BWV 525-530 are Masterpieces indeed and dear lady thank you for a moving performance.
Beautifully done, Katja. Thanks for posting this.
❤❤excellent technique and phrasing thanks for posting love your organ vids!!👋
Sehr schön gespielt. Danke.
This is such a lovely organ sound and so wonderfully suited to these sonatas. The movements are also so beautifully played. Thank you for posting this!
Katja I love dyour playing thank you very much
Beautiful!
nádherná hra...:-)
Beautiful indeed!
lovely...
beautiful, bravo! The
rhythm is very arousing, for me in Bach spirit...
Very nice! A perfect organ for this music
Wonderful performance! Thank you. :)
Traumhaft , gefühlvoll und schön gespielt ... chapeau aus 4053 Basel ...

A Zurigo si suona così.
Sorry for my bad English.

Very enjoyable to watch! Thank you. I aspire to play like you some day.
Beautiful Played !!
A delightful interpretation! Thank you for posting.
Beautifully played.
Merveilleux.
Grossartig!
Who is listening this in 2020? :)
Me!

Smart people....
Pure joy!
0:16 vivace
4:01 largo
9:01 allergo
Absolutely wonderful! Thank you.
I play this fromemory so that I can watch my feeto avoid hitting wrong notes.
Loved it!!! 🧡 Last part made really jumpy, nice!!!!
Brava Katja ; i know very good all these sonata.
Katja, J ❤ you.
These 6 trio sonatas are still very difficult music pieces for a XXIth century organ player. Just imagine what they could have been for a XVIIIth century organ player...
Ach Katja, lass mich Dein Ohrring sein. Wundervoll. Mögen die anderen sagen was Sie wollen.
I really enjoyed your interpretation, Katja! Beautiful!! Really inspiring! :)
Muito bom parabéns 😀😀
Where and when can one hear Katja in concert in England. She is such a talnted interpreter of Bach and others such as de Grigny.
These sonatas were written by JSB for the eduction of his son(s) , but they go far away from the study exercice and are all 6 masterworks. This sonata in c moll is perticularly moving due to its minor tonality.. The tempo and rregistration is perfect.

Wat een beheersing, wat een frasering!
Почему так много женщин сейчас играет на органе?
Как же это клёво)
Thanks for the video. I am almost done with this. Just 2 lines left. I copied most of your pedalling😁
Magnifico! Have you ever played something of the great Mr.Handel?
Is it just me or are the colors reversed on the keys of that organ? Gorgeous music, brilliantly played! Thank you so much for that.
Yes, that's quite usual for the manufacturer (Kuhn) of this organ.
Zer Gut!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤
She knows how to make this music dance. Also have enjoyed this performed by Prof. Michael Schneider.
..and Helmut Walcha?
SUBLIME INTERPRETACION
Pourquoi certains organistes éprouvent-ils le besoin maladif d' ajouter des ornements inutiles qui de plus ne figurent pas sur la partition! Respectons de grâce l' oeuvre de Bach.
Je joue de l'orgue et j' apprécie la sobriété magnifique de Jean-Sébastien.
Il s'agit d'une adaptation au style de l'époque
La musique baroque n'est pas connue pour sa sobriété
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤➕DANKE
❤👍❤👏❤👌❤😘❤
I would have liked more differentiation between the voices
🎹👌🏼
👏
better than most male organists and I,m not just saying cause I,m a girl either
Prima!

2:45-3:00!!
only , for me to much slow " the Lento" of these sonata II of J.S.Bach
Katja Sager All you need to do is play the second movement Andante instead of Largo, and most importantly the pedal line needs to be legato. I would put an oboe in the upper register, and more tremolo. Otherwise - Brava!!!
Katja Sager
Pas d'accord avec Camillo, à ce mouvement au moins j'arrive à jouer ce largo, sinon patatras!..
avi ben
pedal legato??? Nonsense!...

Katja ist eine kluge Frau wenn sie Ihnen nicht geantwortet hat - ein solch emphatisches Gefasel verdient keine Antwort!
Superb performance.
But very bad recording.
The pedal is just seen but not heard.
Otherwise it would have been a real master piece.
Thank you anyway.
