This is how to "play a recital". You slide on the organ bench with the clothes on your back and what you know in your finger, feel and heart and let the magic begin from the first note. Hats off!
Thomas, your talent, your music knowledge, your tehnique, your spiritual energy is stunning. You are always capturing spiritual vibrations from the universe.
I'm going to see if I can find a recording of him doing it like that. I have one cued until I finish listening to this one. It's a later recording, on the Allen touring organ. Will let you know.
So I got the story from user Shikantaza that the tuning for this piece was originally E, as a solo violin piece; when redone for organ and chamber with trumpet, it was lowered to D, very likely because the trumpets were tuned to D, so that made it easier for them to play it. Rachmaninoff resurrected the E tuning for his rendition of it on piano and it's very likely Fox followed Rachmaninoff on that.
The technicians from Chandos used a single microphone in the Grote Kerk of St Bavo when recording the late great Piet Kee. Smaller equipment now but the same principle.
Undoubtedly my favorite Bach work. It always excites me to hear it played well. With the Cantata, absolutely exquisite! th-cam.com/video/Ih51HIyTW0Q/w-d-xo.html
No theatrics - just superb musicianship right off the highest reaches of the top shelf.
Splendide magnifique superbe.la visite du seigneur.
I am learning this marvellous piece myself. What a wonderful rendition - and tutorial as well! 🎹 ❤
Beautifully played with accurate technique, musicianship and musical imagination! Well done!

Божественная музыка органная 😎 😍 😃 😄 😀
Why is it I keep remembering this piece done in F?
Trying out the transposer on it... YES. I KNOW I've heard it in F!!
It was Virgil Fox who played it that way and he did it live on the Black Beauty. I remember.
I'm going to see if I can find a recording of him doing it like that. I have one cued until I finish listening to this one. It's a later recording, on the Allen touring organ. Will let you know.
This one, he did in E. It WAS in a higher key! th-cam.com/video/4f1B1JnkBZw/w-d-xo.html

How can one record a priceless organ in a priceless church with a great performer on a MONO Channel with 1 microphone ? Aiming the birds
The technicians from Chandos used a single microphone in the Grote Kerk of St Bavo when recording the late great Piet Kee. Smaller equipment now but the same principle.
Encore!
Quel délice! Merci mille fois.vous nous faites du bien!!!
THOMAS-Kantor II
Wow!
….right from heaven into the hearts….mi piace moltissimo

Bach ist einfach nur Geil
La sobriété vous caractérise, faisant ressortir le grand Bach
No chord at the end
Does this guy realise he is a genius?

Not a fan of this version, the guilmant arrangement is far better
Magníficas interpretación, como siempre, en el maravilloso órgano de San Eustaquio
Obra maestra.
