Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565 transcribed for orchestra by Leopold Stokowski Cincinnati Pops conducted by Erich Kunzel
Absolutely marvelous. If I have to lay forth my honest opinion, Bach's genius shows best through orchestra. On keyboard, whilst syntactically and theoretically still spectacular, in a musical and emotional sense, it does not get communicated as effectively as through a full romantic orchestra. At the risk of sounding redundant---this is just my humble judgement. Anyway, thanks for uploading, and great thanks to Stokowski for the arrangement!
I completely agree. The fraudulent and sophistic "authentic" movement of the 20th century, as well as the academic Modernists, completely disagreed, but they are in the past or fading fast. The 21st century has seen Romanticism come back into performance where it belongs, from what I've seen and heard. The great Richard Taruskin no doubt played a role in shifting the culture back on this matter!
My favorite FANTASIA progame un that one there's only masses of colour or great landscapes or Vague Shadows or geometrical objects floating in space or whatever there's in this FANTASIA PROGAME.
At 3:34 this tune what reminds me is of that scene of Howard hughes taking his XF-11 prototype aircraft to the runway for it's first and final flight from the movie the aviator
That's funny, just before I read your comment I was thinking the exact opposite. The orchestra version is much more beautiful to me than the overly grandiose organ. Thank you for uploading this video Bartje Bartmans.
It is not certain at all. It is undecided. No proof he did write it, no proof he didn't write it. So yes, JS Bach until proven wrong as the manuscript score by Ringk is the closest to the source as we can get.
In this period of History we do not almost anything for sure, when it Come to music. On of bach's son took bach's pieces after his death And made them look as his so we can not tell.
Possibly true of many Bach works actually but oh well. It really doesn't matter WHO wrote things if they are great and beloved. The Shakespeare skeptics have proven the same point
@@hudebnilidlprodukce5137 Indeed! Even in recent times, such as with Charles Ives' scores, we are in doubt concerning the dates of many scores, given Ives' possible falsifying of scores to appear more progressive earlier, thus "beating" the Europeans. Stravinsky is one of the most uncertain of all, not concerning his music but just his whole life, given his almost pathological lying about himself haha
The BEST version there is! Outstanding, Stokowski!

Спасибо за красивое исполнение!
Absolutely spectacular 🎶😃👏🏼
Wow, thank you for uploading!
👍👍👍👍🎹🎹🎹
Essa é a verdadeira música amo💕💕💕💕💕💕👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
It's good that there is no acceleration in the middle of the fugue (as in most performances)!
At 3:34 this tune what reminds me is of that scene of Howard hughes taking his XF-11 prototype aircraft to the runway for it's first and final flight from the movie the aviator
Yep it sure would. This piece was used in the movie
Sounds like Vivaldi.
Do you know where I can get Stokowski's scores? I'd love to study his orchestration.
Smart choice. His orchestration is amazing!
sheetmusicplus sells it in a nice large format for about $50 with a couple week lead time. Search for item #37491 in their catalog
Did anyone ever find this? I’ve been looking for a while, had no luck at sheet music plus
This version as like fantasia!
WOW... this sounded so much better than the pipe organ!!
I love both! I never see any reason to rank things like this
absolutely gorgeous, i was wondering if its possible to make a similar video but with the chaconne(stokowskis tran,)
Johann Sebastian Bach-Leopold Stokowski:d-moll toccata és fúga BWV 565
Boston Pops Zenekar
Vezényel:Erich Kunzel
3:50
cool version
Drum guys finally got to play some actual music on this one.♫♬
Is there a video for Bach/Stokowski Chaconne in Dm?

I suspect God Himself would be surprised listening to this
Aziraphale, is that you?
i personally prefer the organ version
Good for you.

Haha me too. The organ gets too much reverb and cluttered sound for complex bach peices. This suits it much better imo.
Odin G.S I agree: I think the same would hold true for an orchestral version of his passacaglia in C minor
You must realize that JS Bach almost certainly did NOT write this.
