Your playing brings the organ to life: I think your connection to the music adds to making the organ infuse the music with your own self. Reminds me of Virgil Fox’s ability to merge with the music. He played the entire works of Bach from memory: not in a technical sense, but by becoming one with the music & that’s what you seem to do. Wonderful playing.
Yes. If you look at music as something distant and physically separate from yourself, you can't really interpret or understand music very well. You have to let the music speak for you! You have to connect with it, feel it. That's exactly what excites me!
From the first time I saw one of Mr. Liebermann's videos, it became obvious that the musician and the instrument were connected as a single organism, dedicated to the perfection of the music. It is magical both visually as well as musically.
Oh Jan Jan es ist eine Freude, dich nach längerer Zeit wieder zu sehen und zu hören. Es ist einfach unglaublich wie man so jung so wunderbar spielen kann. Man kann nur staunen und die Menschen,, die dich erleben, beglück wünschen. Danke fürs teilen und bitte weiter, den Vorspann gerne in 2 Sprachen, danke, ah und Schule und Studium, no Problem for you, 👍😊
So much talent in a young man!!! You have been blessed beyond your years! I am thankful for finding this channel and look forward to seeing more of you over the years!!!
Faszinierend gespielt. Du hast eine klare Vorstellung von Deinem Leben, Jan. Das haben nur wenige Menschen. Ich wünsche Dir, dass Du dieses Glück behalten darfst.
So nice to see you back on TH-cam again Jan. You have been missed. I watched your livestream at Truro and it was an exellent performance. You are very talented and are an inspiration to many people. It's great to see young people with a love for the organ. Keep at your studies and I wish you all the best for the future. James.
Thank you so much. Yes, I have been a little quiet lately. I’m doing so much at the moment that I don’t really have time for recording new things… let’s see how it goes the next months.
Glückwunsch und weiter so .Es gibt ein sehr gutes Gefühl zuzuhören und sich in die Interpretationen einzufühlen . Diese Musik kann sehr viel bewegen.👍👍👍👏👏👏😀😀😀😀❤
"....Diese Musik kann sehr viel bewegen...." Allerdings! Das Wort "Superpower" kommt ja sogar in den Sinn. Das grosse Geheimnis aber: Was gerade Marcel Dupré "une modestie absolue" nannte. Haste doch. Keine Frage. (Genau wie Samson: auf keinen Fall sich überreden lassen die Haare zu schneiden!) ;))
Best wishes for a most wonderful career and a huge following of enthusiastic informed listeners. Look forward to following you from afar. Greetings from Australia.
Hallo, sehr schön dir zuzuhören. Mir geht es beim Singen genauso wie Dir, wenn man auswendig singt (ich singe im Heinrich Schütz Chor Heilbronn, Geistliche Chormusik) kann man sich in die Musik "reinlegen" man ist voll dabei. Ja, Bach geht immer und ist Zeitlos. Wenn ich auf eine Insel verbannt werden würde und Musik lediglich von einem Komponisten mitnehmen dürfte wäre es J.S. Bach. Selbst bei Stücken die ich schon zigmal gesungen habe entdecke ich immer wieder etwas neu.
Thank you for all you have shard and for your wonderful playing, Reubke Sonata on the 94th Psalm is a wonderful ,dramatic sonata I heard it last Sunday played by Glen Dempsey assistant. organist Ely Cathedral a wonderful 30 minutes of music ,a rarity to hear this demanding technically difficult. master piece .
Wishing you all the best on your organ journey Jan. I recently listened to Daniel Roth play the Reubke at St. Sulpice. The audition was performed shortly after his wife died, in 2015. It took my breath away. Most worthy free tuition for any musician. So many nights the time flew swiftly by with my true love, a pipe organ.
Hello Jan, it is great to see you again on TH-cam. I was most impressed with your recital at Truro Cathedral, which is on TH-cam. Your skills at the instrument are outstanding and as I forecast some time ago, you have a great future ahead of you with this instrument. I hope you will be able to visit Australia at some stage. Your performances are inspirational. What a blessing to have you coming to prominence in the world of organ music! Very best wishes. Geoff
Hello Jan. I would like to thank you for a really interesting video and to wish you luck with your studies and your future career (I'm sure you don't need such wishes as you are clearly very talented. Thank you again and I look forward to hearing more of your journey in future as well as your magnificent and beautiful playing as hope at some time you are able to come and play some of the magnificent organs that we have here in the UK.
Thank you so much! I have already been to the UK for the last two weeks and met quite a few interesting organs. I'll come back soon! If you haven't watched it yet, I could recommend you the livestream of my latest concert in Truro Cathedral: th-cam.com/users/livezIW4VC_jcrc?feature=share
Ah that's great that you have already been able visit us and I'm glad you seem to have enjoyed it and will be back. I haven't seen the recital so thank you for the link, I shall certainly watch it.
Hi Jan, I have just listened to you practicing for the International ‘Young Organist’ competition 2022. I thought your playing of Bach’s Fantasie and Fugue g-moll BWV 542 was absolutely wonderful. I also thought your interpretation was excellent, and your performance an inspiration to all young organists as to what can be achieved, not only through hard work and practice, but by realising the playing the organ is much more than pressing down a key. In a sense, as is the case with all good musicians, the player is attempting to convey to the listener the feelings of the composer. Having listened to you playing a number of Bach’s organ works I certainly feel you have a gift in being able to do this. Finally I think it is wonderful that you will devote your life to the organ, what Mozart called the “King of Instruments,” and to teaching others to follow in your footsteps. I wish you, Jan, every success and warm wishes for your musical future. Are you able to give a little information on the organ shown in this and other videos? I’m assuming it is at Frankfurt University of Music and Performing Arts. Wherever it is, I think it has a beautiful tonal quality which suits your playing, or, rather, you, through your choice of stops, playing etc, bring out its best. Many thanks
Thanks! The organ in this video is built by Goll Orgelbau. Here is the specification (page 10/11): www.goll-orgel.ch/site/assets/files/2195/mainz_hochschule.pdf
@@liebermannjanMany thanks for the specifications, Jan. I have come to love this organ built by Goll Orgelbau, and the way in which you relate to it. I think you know how to get the best from it which enables you to convey your feelings for a piece of music to the mind of the listener, or to put it another way Herz spricht zu Herz
You remind me very much of Heinz Wunderlich, who served Saint Jacobi. I had the pleasure of meeting him when he was in the USA (Charleston, SC) years ago. It happened to be Max Reger’s birthday on the occasion of the recital and he sat down and played the Fantasy on How Brightly Beams the Morning Star with no music in a manner similar to yours. You have the talent to reach the status of such a world renowned organist, and I wish you the very best in your future. Your playing is exciting and draws the listener into the composition with depth and feeling. Every time I listen to your playing, I am so thrilled by your dedication and the inspiring interpretation you bring to the music. You capture of the soul and spirit of the music. Bravo ❤
Es ist wichtig, dass Sie die Orgel, das Spiel und die Orgelkultur und die Möglichkeiten der Orgel an die jüngeren Generationen weitergeben.Gutes spiel! Gruss von Utrecht aus den Niederlanden.
Jan. You are a 'natural'. Yes. Being 'in' the music but also the music is 'in' you. Body language shows it. The Reubke. Yup. That's real - and total ambition. You have set the right goal. Can't wait. How about five months for what you want. Or sooner?! Oh and btw - your pedalling is vv good. Foundational and alive in itself.
Hello Jan I studied organ in the UK I was very fortunate to have student status under Dr. Peter Hurford, at St. Alban's Cathedral and Simon Preston at Westminster. I ❤❤❤❤❤ your approach to playing music of JSB.
Playing organ in jeans and t shirt! Love it. I had never seen that shape of organ before seeing one on TH-cam. I assume that old(?) style was for practical reasons. I had only known the console style so that style looks like the player is facing a wall as punishment. LOL. Thanks for giving us these performances.
Hi Jan. I have just watched the Truro Recital for a second time on a bigger screen with better sound. You have a great talent and future IMHO. You remind me so much of Jonathan Scott who comes from my hometown who is a world famous Concert Organist. I would like to thank you for a performance that was impressive and so enjoyable. I am convinced we will see you one day in the future at The Bridgewater Hall in Manchester. James.
Thank you so much. I'm so flattered!! I am so grateful to have followers like you here on TH-cam. Let's see when I can visit Manchester... All best, Jan
It is very nice to see a young boy like you chooses to be a profi-organist. In The Netherlands a very few Dutch students are studying the organ. There are much more students from abroad. You play very well. Do not forget the Dutch organs f.i. the Müller organ in Haarlem. Lots of succes.
Hallo Jan! Gestern habe ich deine Performance der 6 Triosonaten, die mir ganz gefallen hat. Viel Erfolg in deiner Karriere! Ich bin ein brasilianischer Organist, der meistens für Orgel komponiert und auch ungewöhnliches Repertoire foracht: ein meiner musikalischen Hobbys ist Orgeltabulaturen entziffern, aber, wenn ich für Musik müde mich fühle, dann mag ich ein bisschen Schach spielen. Gleich wie du, bin ich auch ein Bach-Fan.
4:51 "Being a young student means that you can’t always meet up with friends. That's why I think it's important to have an instrument which you really love." All kids/boys should understand how true these words are: they would learn not to waste their lives! Ad maiora, Jan!!! p.s.: When will you come to Italy?
Wow Jan you pedal playing is amazing - you are young and very enthusiastic which is a wonderful feature- as you mature you will put more expression and add different stop combinations - one day you will get invitations such as Paul Fey is doing and play some of those huge instruments in the USA. With very best wishes for your studies and development as an artist.
Die Orgelmeditatioon im Essener Dom findet statt am Samstag, den 09. Dezember um 12:00 Uhr. Weitere Informationen finden Sie hier: dommusik-essen.de/erleben/orgelmeditationen
hello Jan, thank you for the bach. But try not to fall that early into the trap of making these common organ videos by just showing fingers, stops and fingers again... (have a look how "Ben Maton the Salisbury organist" does it : he is much more humble in his organs, his churches, his music - but has gained 10000 subscribers last month...)
Greetings from Brazil. Great interpretation. Thanks for beautiful moment.
Best wishes for your organ career Jan. Greetings from South Africa.

toutes mes félicitations ! très bien
Great talk ! Keep up the good play ! We need a lot more young organ players like you ! You are very inspiring to other organ players !
Thank you. I hope (also) young people can see that the organ is NOT an instrument for just the olds!
Faszinierend gespielt. Du hast eine klare Vorstellung von Deinem Leben, Jan. Das haben nur wenige Menschen. Ich wünsche Dir, dass Du dieses Glück behalten darfst.
Amen!
Stark. Bitte mehr von.

Kaum zu glauben, dass ich den Kanal erst jetzt entdeckt habe :D
Toll! Der Mordent in der Fuge könnte jeweils einen Tick langsamer/durchhörbarer sein.
Du spielst mit Lutz Brenner? Den kenne ich aus den Lehrgängen aus dem Bistum Limburg
Das ist ja lustig! Ich werde es ihm erzählen…
Hallo Jan, wann ist denn das Konzert im Hohen Dom zu Essen?
Die Orgelmeditatioon im Essener Dom findet statt am Samstag, den 09. Dezember um 12:00 Uhr. Weitere Informationen finden Sie hier: dommusik-essen.de/erleben/orgelmeditationen
