How wonderful to see Richard so excited at this amazing opportunity for him. Sounds a little different to the sample set mind but lovely to hear and see. Thanks.
- and YES!!!! There REALLY IS a big difference between a Hauptwerk sample set and the real thing -- HUGE! Here you are using your "cathedral ears" Unlike playing a Hauptwerk organ, here you are not only playing the organ, you're playing the room. BRAVO! My very most favorite Bach Prelude! I'm looking forward to your return to Rotterdam for the "full BIS treatment"
Well done! One of my favourite organs. The sound is so incredibly impressive. Let's pray they don't destroy it with the upcoming 'restauration' and the making of the 'hyperorgan'.
A very impressive and majestic rendition of this Prelude. You worked with the acoustics and allowed the piece to breathe in the room to great effect. A joy to listen to!
SUCH a BEAUTIFUL performance of this Bach prelude! Also, a WONDERFUL narrative of you, Caroline, & family on the trip leading up to this presentation! Having travelled internationally often as a young family (now adults), I watch your generation in airports & marvel! Poor parents of 1, maybe 2 children, look like pack mules w/all the currently required equiptment for travel!! THANK YOU both, for your perseverance, patience, & performance!
How amazing to get to play the actual St. Laurenskerk organ in person! This is still my favorite sample set for Baroque music. Thank you for sharing this experience with the rest of us!
BRAVO!!!!! That was fantastic. A grand work for a grand organ. That was what I call “Bach rock ‘n roll” beginning at the 7:19 mark!! Thank you for all that you do!
I’ve never played it, other than in HW, but was able to visit the Laurenskerk some years ago and hear someone practising, of all things, the Elgar Organ Sonata- that too confirmed what a spectacular sound (or perhaps ‘auracular’ if such a word exists) this instrument makes. Thank you for uploading this magnificent 552a!
Nicely done! Nice shots of the pipes and keyboards, too! As mentioned in another video (now, I don’t remember if I commented on the one that was the ACTUAL organ, or if it turned out to be TGE “HW”..[I have a feeling now it was the latter…looked like Richard’s studio the more I think about it])…. But, anyway this organ *AND* church SURVIVED the 1940 Blitz that nearly destroyed Rotterdam… actually, just the center are and a few columns/outside walls stayed up… massive rebuilding… my parents lived through it as children in Rotterdam… listening and watching is like “coming back home”! Thanks for the experience…
I'm SO happy for you that you FINALLY played the big one here in Rotterdam! I listened and saw you playing the Hauptwerk set so often, and of course advised you to reach out... Very happy for you....
Wow, oh wow, to finally be able to play the real thing! I have followed you for years, and am so glad for you! The recording turned out great. Thanks for sharing the experience.
Richard, I cannot claim any knowledge on the matter of music or playing the organ but it sound great to me. Thank you and I am glad you were able to play the instrument. I imagine you were like a kid in a sweet shop!
French Overture! So much fun to hear and to play. We used the opening measures as a processional at our wedding. It was all rather grand and magnificent albeit on a much smaller instrument
I don't know what it is about his organ, there is something that is just magnificent. I think it has to be one that you just have to go and play at some point!
Lovely to hear the main organ of the Grote- of St Laurenskerk again and very pleased, Richard, that you were able to see, hear and play it in its actual physical and acoustic environment. I heard it many times as a student in Rotterdam between 1988 and 1996 and it has gained in beauty with time, originally disdainfully written off in more dogmatic times (1973) by some as a 'compromise organ'. I was wondering if you had time and opportunity to play the Marcussen transept organ as well, which you have said before is your favourite 'study' sampler set - or the Marcussen choir organ for that matter? I also wonder how you got on with the tracker action, rarely found in an organ of this size and aspiration. If Hayo invites you to play a recital there sometime I promise that I will cross the North Sea especially to be there.
I love the transept organ there, and using it for practice was perfect. I’m now using Romsey Abbey as my practice organ which is even more perfect I think for practice 😉
Richard P Biggs? E. Power McVeigh? You performed this with the same wonderful emotion and character that EPB so masterfully did. I am awed and humbled to have been able to experience this, my favorite of all the Preludes. Thank you, Maestro!
Nicely played! Also good timing since the organ will be completely dismantled in January for a full restoration AND the addition of electric action and a second console downstairs.
Was one of my favourite works to perform. Thank you. I have utterly enjoyed this. The organ I last played this on was a Marcussen as well in Stellenbosch.
What a great video! I've actually recorded that organ a couple of times using just a single point stereo microphone about half way up the nave. It's a tribute to the superb connection between the organ and the building that it sounds and records so well, from the simplest to the sophisticated setups. (The transept organ is wonderful too!)
Wow, Richard, just wow!!! You play this piece like no-one else, and as I am learning it (almost done...) I keep your interpetation of it as a benchmark. With regards to you having never played this in real life: you did an amazing job! Being Dutch and playing many historic organs with little to no prep time I know it is very hard to get used to these mechanical instruments and get the most out of them. All of that to say: a 7/10 seems a bit harsh on yourself! Btw: what did you play in Haarlem, I would love to know.
I played all sorts in Haarlem… K 608, BWV 544, 548, 552 (+fugue), and a litany of chorale preludes so I could hear the gorgeous mutations. What a privilege!
I agree, Richard, you’re a bit hard on yourself!! This is absolutely magnificent!!! Except for the young voices in the background, I’d rate this recording as a 10/10!
Really enjoyed that Richard thank you for giving us your experience and we look forward to hearing you come back to play again with the "Bis" Treatment! :-)
A brilliant rendition. I particularly like the way you take full advantage of the acoustics of the building in your performance and your choice of registration. It feels like heaven 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩Well worth sharing on my Facebook page.
Awesome. Notice that the console seems to have no pistons, and only one volume (swell?) pedal. Also strangely "isolated" and "blinded" from the congregation by the cabinet behind. When I play, I like to be able to see and connect with everything; the congregation, altar and choir. Nonetheless, absolutely Glorious. Thank you Richard! !
The organ was designed to have a very traditional baroque 'Hamburger Prospekt' (lateral pedal towers, Oberwerk, Hauptwerk, Brustwerk, Rückpositiv in descending order - seen in the 1950s-80s in Holland as the most noble concept) but to be suitable for absolutely the whole range of organ literature hence a French-style Recit and Iberian chamade - yet to have mechanical action for keyboards and stops! As I said above it was controversial at the time of completion (1973) but is now seen as a very successful synthesis of shape/form and content, testament to the skill and quality of workmanship of Marcussen & Søn, maybe illustrating better the way late 20th and early 21st century people pick and choose from the past than facsimile copies of historic organs or truly 'modern' instruments may do. The ornaments and marble gallery are reminders of the organ that, together with the church itself and the Rotterdam city centre, was destroyed by German bombs in May 1940.
Very nice to watch and listen to this on such a grand instrument, thank you, pity you didn't include the fugue. The magnificent climax would be overwhelming. I must commend you for the apt tempo, flow and the breathing between phrases, all the more without prior warm up. Some players use a heavy sounding 16' on the great but if you did it wasn't obtrusive fortunately.😊
I had the chance to play this instrument 6 months ago when assisting Paul Fey in a lunch recital. The sound is unbelievable. (And after hearing/playing!the real thing you know that the sample set of this organ is really very very good). Congrats! Did you play Haarlem too?
I did indeed - I had a couple of hours on it last week. That was a life-changing experience! I wasn’t able to record there though, but I’ll be heading back soon with my recording equipment! 😃
Good to see you finally on that Organ,....congrats.....hope you had a good time 🙂 ......spoke to you about playing there in covid times I remember. As I told you then,...Hayo is a very nice guy.
absolutely delicious, Richard, well played; your joy is almost palpable ;-) Could I hear voices in the background, especially in the opening, or is it my old brain playing tricks on me ?
as I suspected; he will remember this, Richard, when he's as old as I am; not perhaps all the details, time makes fools of us all, but the excitement and pride in his dad :-)@@beautyinsound
Several years ago a conference I attended had the dinner / social event in the Laurenskirk. Sadly the organ was strictly out of bounds... probably a wise move as the evening progressed...
I can only imagine what it must have been like sitting at that console and hearing the first notes. To say I'm envious doesn't come close! What a fantastic choice of piece too. I bet you didn't want to let go of that final chord.
7/10? LOL! 9.5 maybe. Yes, I actually caught a couple of tiny errors, but it's not like I can play anything. But I am good at listening and that was wonderful!
Beautifully played Richard. Did you play on any other organs or visit them? Hope you & your family had a wonderful holiday. I'm sure you deserve a break.
Is it my imagination or are some the dotted quavers plus semiquavers sometimes sound too slack - more like triplets? It is a problem when the tempo is a bit fast.
The “roof” of the console seems very low for you - but you seem to have coped very well. If you hadn’t told us about the actual circumstances then we would never have have guessed. Did your experience of the organ via the sample set inform your registration in the church? To my (old) ears 7/10 is, as Tim says, a bit harsh on yourself. At this point in the recording (about half way through) the score should definitely be 9 point something out of 10. Well done! Now to recover from your holiday!!!
Very well said Andrew! As I said, I am learning this at the moment, so I tend to hear all the mistakes in this piece. I heard it botched many times online and once in a recital at my parish church (by a student with a masters degree in organ). For Richard to play this as well as he did is indeed a 9/10 minimum!
Andrew - yes, knowing the organ via Hauptwerk certainly helped, and I was able to make informed decisions with my registrations. The Hoofdwerk (Great) mixtures are a bit bigger in real life, and the Gt reeds aren’t as big as I was expecting. Loved it!
Richard! I loved it too and I’m sure lots of BiS a folk did as well. Thank you for the video. Was that one of your offspring adding their appreciation at the end?
Fabulous Richard. Love the way you hear your way round an organ you have never played before. Magnificent playing, don't mind the blips. The instrument sings for you!❤
I had no ‘practice’ time, and this performance was literally the first time I played the keyboards and pedalboard! The pedalboard is slightly over to the right, and it caught me out a few times (you’ll hear a couple of wrong pedal notes). Once I’d gotten used to it, it was fine!
Acurately played as always, if a little robotic. But a poor choice for the sounds that instrument has to offer. I doubt you got much time with it, but I don't think this does it justice. "Do you want the 32'.?", "Yes please" 😀
No wonder Bach’s works are used to lighten the souls of the very depressed. Sublime and thank you.
WOW!!! This is absolutely "beauty in sound"! I really love your playing and love this fantastic instrument. Thank you Richard!
Many thanks!
The real thing! This is what a master organist does on a pickup event. Well done, my friend.
How wonderful to see Richard so excited at this amazing opportunity for him. Sounds a little different to the sample set mind but lovely to hear and see. Thanks.
My absolute favorite Organ piece, Bach or otherwise! What joy and excitement you exuded! My spirits were certainly lifted! Thank you!!
What a joyous "workout". Thanks for sharing this special time with us Richard.
- and YES!!!! There REALLY IS a big difference between a Hauptwerk sample set and the real thing -- HUGE!
Here you are using your "cathedral ears" Unlike playing a Hauptwerk organ, here you are not only playing the organ, you're playing the room.
BRAVO! My very most favorite Bach Prelude!
I'm looking forward to your return to Rotterdam for the "full BIS treatment"
Perhaps his best prelude and fugue played superbly on this wonderful organ.
This and the “Wedge” (P&F in E Minor BWV 548) are my personal favorites. Both are overwhelming works of genius. 😎🎹
Well done! One of my favourite organs. The sound is so incredibly impressive. Let's pray they don't destroy it with the upcoming 'restauration' and the making of the 'hyperorgan'.
Richard, so glad you were able to have this experience and thanks for sharing it with us!

56 years ago this was our wedding march and I listen to it on our anniversary every year. Some years I play it.
Beautiful playing of a wonderful Bach piece. Thank you for taking time out of your journey to record this on such an impressive instrument.
One of Bach's work that I love so much.
Such a wonderful instrument to hear that prelude on. And you played it so perfectly.
Wonderful piece, majestic and mornful,
love your playing Richard! 👏👏👏🌹💯
It now feels like home!🤗
I ❤ that! This is breathtaking 💔 every single sound is a pure beauty.
& it make my afternoon. Thank U 🙏
Wonderful to hear how wonderful it must have been to play on this organ.
The 1973 Marcussen-organ in Rotterdam is amazing.
Awesome as usual. I'm just an old hymn pounder, but I know good playing when I hear it.
I’ve never played it, other than in HW, but was able to visit the Laurenskerk some years ago and hear someone practising, of all things, the Elgar Organ Sonata- that too confirmed what a spectacular sound (or perhaps ‘auracular’ if such a word exists) this instrument makes.

Walking into St Laurenskerk was like walking into a famous film set, and then meeting an A-list celebrity!
Richard, I cannot claim any knowledge on the matter of music or playing the organ but it sound great to me. Thank you and I am glad you were able to play the instrument. I imagine you were like a kid in a sweet shop!
Amazing! You, the organ and Bach, of course! Thank you so much, Richard. As always... I'm looking forward for the Fugue 😁

What program software is being used for sheet music display on tablet ? How are the pages being advanced ? Thank you for the beautiful music ❤
I seriously give you a 9.5 out of 10. You forgot to add the score for the big happy grin on your face.
You should make a compare and contrast between the real Rotterdam and the hauptwerk sound set.
I can only imagine what it must have been like sitting at that console and hearing the first notes. To say I'm envious doesn't come close! What a fantastic choice of piece too. I bet you didn't want to let go of that final chord.

You handled the straight/flat pedalboard as if you are normally used to playing such a clavier.
…apart from the wrong pedal notes here and there 😉
You will well know what Beethoven said……he could forgive anyone wrong notes as long as they played with passion. I take comfort in that!!!!!
Fabulous Richard. Love the way you hear your way round an organ you have never played before. Magnificent playing, don't mind the blips. The instrument sings for you!❤
Any thoughts on the Straight pedal board over the concaves you usually play? Magnificent recording on a magnificent organ!
I had no ‘practice’ time, and this performance was literally the first time I played the keyboards and pedalboard! The pedalboard is slightly over to the right, and it caught me out a few times (you’ll hear a couple of wrong pedal notes). Once I’d gotten used to it, it was fine!
JESUS Diso❤❤❤❤❤❤
Keep it simple - sounds great with just a good pair of omnis - stick to that! :)
What performance software are you using?
I believe Richard said he uses ForScore. Paperless music is also an alternative though (it is what I use). Both seem to do the job fine!
Paperless Music. They’re a great company!
Indeed paperless music is a great program (I use it all the time). It is (if I believe) quite a bit cheaper than ForScore as well?
oops, pressed the wrong like button, pressed the right one straight after tho, sorry Richard
Don’t worry - clicking again changes your choice
Mechanical organs are a lot harder on the fingers.
Excellent though children should be seen and NOT heard! Old American proverb!
Acurately played as always, if a little robotic. But a poor choice for the sounds that instrument has to offer. I doubt you got much time with it, but I don't think this does it justice.
"Do you want the 32'.?", "Yes please" 😀
"Shall we do a cresendo?" 😁
