    The insets showing the registrations, and of the chorale tune wherever it occurs, are brilliant. The quality of this video production matches the performance.

    We had the privilege of hearing Balint Karosi at an all Bach concert at St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Austin, Texas a few years ago and now we have the thrill of following him on TH-cam as he plays organs all around the world. The technology is a great gift to music lovers.

    I am so glad I came across this video. I grew up with the Genevan psalms every Sunday in church. I love those melodies. Living in Canada for the last 60 years sometimes I hear Dutch organists doing improvisation on these tunes. Let me assure you no body improvises like you do. Perhaps Sietse Devries comes close. All others are very bombastic I find. Your talent is great. May God bless you.

      As minister, and later choirmaster in Vermont, I used many Geneva Psalter seletions as both congregational hymns and choir anthems -- at first, strange to them, but soon they warmed to the sturdy tunes and harmonies. Thanks for the strength of your masterful interpretations: a source of hope for these difficult times!!!

    • @MarcelMangnus
      @MarcelMangnus 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Totally agree. Sietze de Vries is the undisputed master of baroque-improvisation for many, many years now. His improvisations are all at the level of perfectly written down compositions. But Balint comes close and that is already a big achievement! And with the years (and experience) to come, he will only be better in mastering the art of improvisation. I'm a fan!
