J.S.Bach - TOCCATA & FUGUE in D MINOR (BWV 565) [Hauptwerk // Rotterdam]

- In this video you can hear my rendition of Johann Sebastian Bach's “Toccata and Fugue in D Minor” (BWV 565) played on my Hauptwerk organ. I have chosen to use the sample set of Rotterdam, created by Sonus Paradisi to get that grand sound this piece demands.
The most famous organ work ever written - simple as that! For many people the Toccata and Fugue in D minor stands out as the epitome of what organ music sounds like. Some organ scholars such as Peter Williams and Rolf-Dietrich Claus have made publications where they argue against the notion of it being a work by J.S.Bach. In 1961, Antony Davies remarked that the Toccata was void of counterpoint but other Bach scholars like Christoph Wolff however has defended the attribution to Bach and pointed out that it is a youth work.
There is no copy of BWV 565 by Bach himself. The only near-contemporary source for BWV 565 is an undated copy by Johannes Ringk which clearly states that it is written by J.S.Bach.
So I'll go with that ;-)

Excellent richness of sound and majesty. Your rendition takes this piece to soaring heights. Bravo!
WOW - So grateful to read your kind comment!
To me sounds a little too muffled, the high's are not distinct enough.
Again, I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation of one of my favorite pieces. Thank you!
Dear Willard. What a kind comment to write. Thank you so very much! And happy new year 🎊
Amazing! Hearing you play this gave me inspiration to learn the fugue.
That’s wonderful my rendition could inspire you 🙏🏻
Brought a chill to my spine! Thank you! 👍
A musician's job is to bring emotion to the listener so I'm very grateful for your comment! 🙏🏻
The sound is indeed grand. A wonderful presentation of this great piece! Thank you!
Dear Willard. Thanks you so much for visiting my channel and for your kind words!
Beautiful rendition Philip ! Thank you for the pertinent informations on description !
You’re welcome Remi. Thanks 🙏🏻
Bravo Philip!! Perfect sampleset for this and it's always interesting to see the different approaches each performer takes - I loved the echo effects you created with just articulation around 4:50 :) Wonderfully relaxed playing!
Thanks you so very much Jerry. And for your continuing kind support!
wow that pedal - very articulate playing Philip - bravo. Good that another organist doesn't wear shoes when playing the pedals.
Dear Michael. Thanks for your kind comment and to the fact I don't use shoes 👞 (90% of the time I play the organ)
Excellent in all ways especially the tempo of the fugue! Bravo!
Thank you so much Jack. And thank you for watching!!
I was waiting for this one 😄! Amazing, Philip! It’s really a privilege to have this content on TH-cam!
Dear Gustavo. That was really so nice of you to write. Thank you for your positivity!
Bravo!
Thanks kind Gorman!
Gorgeously played and the sound is wonderful!! 👏 👏 👏
Dear JS! Much appreciated and thanks for leaving a kind comment. I always means a lot reading what you guys think!
Très bien donné. C'est comme ça que je la ressens. Merci pour votre jeu. J'apprécie vraiment votre style. Dans cette œuvre, et d'autres, votre version est pour moi, une référence. Cordialement Olivier
Cher Olivier. Merci beaucoup d'avoir laissé un commentaire si gentil.
@@philipaggesen C'est sincère. Votre version de la toccata et fugue est vraiment excellente. Bravo ! La jouant moi même, je connais la difficulté. Cordialement. Olivier
Wunderschön!!!!
Danke sehr!!
absolutely outstanding
YAY! Thank you so much Carlo!!
Sublime, Philip!! I think it have to be very difficult to play with this organ reverberation, but at same time, more satisfying.
The reverb definitely can be a hit jarring but I'm glad to hear it was worth it ☺️
Bravo bravo bravo! 👏
Thank you!!!!!
One of my favorite Bach Pieces. Sounds incredible! Thx so much for posting
Much obliged MpS. It truly is a classic!
Geweldig♥
Thank you Syts!
I did not listen to this video before as I have heard so many versions of it and have a favourite recording, But to my surprise, I really enjoyed it. I like the relaxed style , the freshness and richness of the sound which is fantastic from your instrument. The fugue is a very fine innovative composition and I think one of the best that Bach wrote. You do it great justice.
One day I hope you will play the other Toccata and Fugue in D minor (Dorian) by Bach . While I love this Dorian Toccata, I have never been able to appreciate this Fugue. I would be interested to hear how you interpret and play the fugue which may enlighten my perception of it.
THANKS Stuart. I haven't played the Dorian one and I feel the same as you. The toccata is brilliant but the fugue not that much. I will try and find the score and perhaps make a rendition of it.
@@philipaggesen Yes I feel the fugue doesn’t seem to go anywhere and drags on to the finish. Perhaps a good reason not to learn it. Talking about the Fugue in G major BWV 541 I feel it is also not Bach’s best but in saying that some listeners have stated they do enjoy both. In learning it I am trying to decorate some of the monotonous repeated notes with ornaments (turns, mordants, trills etc) to try and make more interesting. If I have a PDF copy of the Dorian Toccata I will email it to you
Well played! I love this piece dearly, so allow my some questions and remarks...
I wish you would have chosen the Noordbroek set: the Rotterdam is swamped in reverb taking away any possible definition on the voices in the fugue. I would chose 'dramatic' instead of 'grandiose' anytime for this piece, as definition is as important as vehemence I think.
Also, have you tried to play the last Recitativo and Presto with staccato phrasing? (Having two registers in these Recitative and Presto for right and left hand can add so much to the melody...) The final cadence (7 bars) I would play much slower (it is Adagio and Molto Adagio anyway) and non-legato on the main chords to let it breath and crown the piece with this magnificent progression, with the final three chords with a persistent upper D but otherwise non-legato.
I can't read your comment so feel free to ask or comment again. Sorry!
He is a great Alchemist of Bach’s music
Very very kind words Shin. Thank you!

I only listen to a paramount performance
I am looking forward to wonderful performances

Hej Philip,
undskyld mit dårlige dansk, jeg bruger google oversætter. Jeg faldt over din kanal, mens jeg surfede på nettet. Jeg blev straks begejstret for dine numre, jeg lyttede meget til. Alle dem jeg har hørt har været i top.
Jeg kunne ikke sige, at noget stikker ud, da alt er fantastisk
afspilles. Men Hauptwerk er også fantastisk software, det lyder godt
som en original.
Jeg kan ikke følge med dine "færdigheder", men det, jeg måske kan tilbyde dig, er min version af Gigue BWV 577.
Hvis du har tid og lyst, kan du lytte til dem.
(Det er dog anderledes, end du måske forventer😉)
Mange varme og frem for alt musikalske hilsner fra Tyskland ønsker dig...
Martin
Was für ein wunderbarer Kommentar zu lesen. Ich habe Ihre Version des BWV 573 gesehen und Sie haben völlig Recht: Ich habe es noch nie in diesem Stil gespielt gehört 😉
Du bist aber definitiv ein guter Musiker!
godmorgen Philip,
Først og fremmest mange tak for den fine kommentar.
Men jeg kan bestemt returnere komplimenten med den "gode musiker". Jeg havde nogle orgeltimer i kirken som barn, men det var længe, længe siden (ca. 40 år).
Men der vil også være den ene eller den anden titel på et to-manuelt orgel med fuld pedal.
Mange hilsner
Martin
I couldn’t do that
It also took my a lot of years to learn to play organ :)
Hej Philip,
glemte noget.
Abonnerede på din kanal med det samme.

Danke!! :)
