What a lovely registration you've chosen. Often the Sinfonia is done with such bombast (Bombard?) that one misses all the subtlety. Not so in your performance. 🎶
Thank you so much for commenting. I agree! I regard bombarde 16 and 32 to be the most effective when it's used for long sustained notes. Some organist use them in fast passages which really isn't to my taste. So, I use those deep reeds in the pedal where carefully.
Je connais bien cette piece. Elle est rarement bien jouée, interprétée. Le plus souvent, elle est jouée trop vite, sans expression, de maniere plate comme uj concours de stenodactylo des annees 70. Penin en fait une magnifique interpretation. Ce que je viens d’écouter m’a beaucoup plu, on y entend tout, il y a du corps, du coeur, des tripes, c’eet vraiment magnifique. Bravo et merci.
C'est avec plaisir que j'ai lu votre aimable commentaire. Cela combiné à votre connaissance de la musique me rend encore plus heureux. Je suis tellement heureux d’avoir réussi à donner une bonne interprétation de la pièce. Et être comparé à Penin, c'est génial !
BRAVO! I love that arrangement and have wrestled with it more than once. And now I've heard it with Cavaillé-Coll sounds, as Dupré must have imagined it at St. Sulpice.
Bravo! Awesome rendition! Fantastic playing. The Hauptwerk sounds are perfect too wow, great use of dynamics etc. Thanks for sharing your gift! Inspiring for us other organists!
Dear Benjamin. Thank you for your comment. Yes Hauptwerk is indeed incredibly useful for us organist. I can really recommend you getting a practice organ. I should have bought that even earlier in my career!! Have a great new year! /PHILIP
I know it may sound a bit boring - but I keep coming back to this piece, time and time again. It really is one of my most favourite - that and the Gigout toccata in second place.
@@philipaggesen Wonderful talent and fabulous looks as well - what more could I ask for? I could listen to you all day. I'm glad you didn't take offence.
Phew. What a wonderful rendition of this well-known but not so easy piece! Really well played, especially in terms of articulation. The registration surpassed my expectations with the choice of Caen and your distinct use of the swell pedal. All changes are very smooth and sound logical. Really very high quality, Philip. Bravo! 👍👍👍
Hi @@philipaggesen Sorry for taking long to answer. You are right, it is in major. What I meant to express is that not all pieces in minor are sad and in major are happy. Better example is th-cam.com/video/9dJve17_uvE/w-d-xo.html which is in B minor yet almost ecstatically happy
I'm torn between which transcription is better. How did you chose Dupre? Do you also play the Guilmant? I want to learn it (someday) but which one to learn is a difficult choice!)
I would definitely go with the Dupré one because it feels "lighter" to my eye. Guilmant is more heavy and perhaps not an agile a transcription. But again. They are also very alike!
Hey Joshy. Are you thinking of the colors of the keys 🎹? I actually don’t pay attention to how the look but only how it feels when playing. Thanks for reaching out!
Magnífico, muchas gracias. 🌹🌹🌹
Thank you for taking the time to write such kind words!

Bravo to your tempo, registrations, articulation - all from memory! You bring the joyful spirit of JS Bach alive.
YAY! So happy to read your kind words. Much appreciated!!
Philip, that was absolutely fantastic. Thank you so much for all the wonderful music you continue to bring into my life, it is truly much appreciated.
WOW Tony. So happy to read this. I can't get a better critique than that! Thank you so much!
👋 Amazing Organ Music ! Bravo Maestro ! ❤️👌🌹 Thank you Philip Aggesen ! 😘😇🙏
Thanks Irina!!
BRAVO! I love that arrangement and have wrestled with it more than once. And now I've heard it with Cavaillé-Coll sounds, as Dupré must have imagined it at St. Sulpice.
It is a fantastic transcription by Dupré. I hope you’ll get to finalize it someday. It is uplifting!

Absolutely wonderful! Thank you for this!
Much appreciated Andreas! 🙂
I think the tempo is perfect ! Very good performance, thank you very much !
Thanks a ton for those encouraging words!!
Bravíssimo Maestro!! One of my favourite pieces of Bach!!
So kind of you to write that Alex! 😌
I know it may sound a bit boring - but I keep coming back to this piece, time and time again. It really is one of my most favourite - that and the Gigout toccata in second place.
That's not boring. I am just very grateful for your encouraging words!!!
great piece, and great playing. The1st time I heard it was the late Carlo Curley playing it at the UK's Royal Festival Hall
Thank you so much Peter. It is just Bach at his most joyful. It truly is a wonderful piece!
One of my favourite pieces - and such a gorgeous organist as well.
Thank you so much. That is very kind of you!
@@philipaggesen Wonderful talent and fabulous looks as well - what more could I ask for? I could listen to you all day. I'm glad you didn't take offence.
Philip, you've really impressed with this. One of my all time favourite pieces from the Master🥰
You are so very welcome Charlotte. These big pieces is uploaded every once in a while :)
Superbe interprétation !!!! Très beau
Bach forever 🔥🔥🔥.
Quel talent 👏👏👏. 🎶💫🌠🎶💫🌠🎶💫🌠❤️
I try my best ;-) Thank you Marie!!
Love how you just start vibing at the sequence at 00:38 - my favorite parts of the piece. Well played!
Yes! That sequence is so wonderful! I couldn't resist moving a bit :D
Beautifully played
Thank you so much! I also tried my best! ;-)
This is really great music! I also like your other older upload of this. Great playing, and from memory to. Impressive.
Thank you Magnus. Yes, it has really stuck with me!

So grateful to read your kind comment H! It really is a huge motivational help to read such kind feedback!! Thank you!
Love this piece so much i can feel the joy Bach conveys in the fast tempo.Fantastically played😊🎶🎶🎶🎶
Thank you Lena - yes the tempo is a bit to the fast side but I feel that the music can handle it :)
@@philipaggesenyes absolutely 👍
Wow, one of the most difficult pieces, very beautifully played. Note that it is in minor and yet couldn't be more joyful ;-)
Thank you so much Jan-Uwe. However I’m pretty sure this piece is written in D major ;-)

That was fantastic! But you're getting intermodulation distortion at full organ.
Oh, I really have to take a closer look at my audio levels then. I hope it won't happen again.
How do you realy adapte to key colour change?
