- The Varnus Organ Hall needs your help. We are asking the community's support to restoring and operating Varnus Hall, Canada's only private organ concert venue owned by Xaver Varnus, to provide a worthy home for organists, famous artists and young talent alike, from around the world to perform, and broadcast their concerts online. We are grateful to you if you can help our work with any donations. ca.gofundme.co...
Filmed live in concert in October 2003. The films of this concert that were completed but never released because the keyboard camera file has been damaged. As a speciality of the concert, the electrical console of the great Jemlich pipe organ was operated through the Content digital organ's MIDI cable.

Born in Budapest, his first piano teacher was Emma Németh, one of the last pupils of Claude Debussy. Xaver Varnus has played virtually every important organ in the world, including those in Bach's Thomaskirche in Leipzig (2014), Berliner Dom (2013), Notre-Dame (1981), Saint-Sulpice (2006) and Saint-Eustache (1996) in Paris, National Shrine in Washington, D.C. (1985), and Canterbury Cathedral (2004), as well as the largest existing instrument in the world, the Wanamaker Organ in Philadelphia (1985). His Quadruple Platinum Disc winning album From Ravel to Vangelis, released by Sony BMG in 2007, is the best-selling organ CD ever. As a Canadian citizen, Xaver Varnus resides in Berlin, Germany. "Put simply, Varnus is a monster talent, every bit as stimulating and individual as the late Glenn Gould" (The Globe & Mail, Canada's National Newspaper).

I truly believe strongly that he is one of the finest Organists living today!
He IS the best organist living today. He's without equal when playing Bach.
Agreed. THE finest.
I think so
Xaver Varnus is amazing. He has his own style.
Bach`s music in this wonderful old Synagoge: great, great, great. Thank you Mr. Varnus!
a trick : you can watch movies at Flixzone. I've been using it for watching all kinds of movies during the lockdown.
@Beau Jamie Yea, been watching on Flixzone for since november myself =)
Bach's music is a dance before God.
The video in black&white plus the reaction and the looks of people....unique like his "gift"👍🏻
From the bottom of my heart❤....THANK YOU!
I feel blessed 😊🕊
Greetings from Bonn/Germany
Contenta di vivere per Poter ascoltare, ancora grazie
Bravo!
Gyönyörú !!!
From a time when we were allowed to come together in such a high concentration of people. Beautifully played. Thank you.
This is such a beautiful piece of film. The performance is wonderful, terrific registration choices and an effortless sense of the mood of the thing, keeping it dancing, letting it sing. The synagogue looks astonishing. But it's the faces in the audience I keep coming back to, particularly at the end, the pride, the love on their faces for this extraordinary young man. Just beautiful.
Great to see so many people of all ages enjoying this performance 😍
If that doesn’t make you cry nothing will
Trying hard to pick out the voices in the fugue. That's left brain stuff. Enjoying the performance. Right brain stuff. Bottom line? What a joy. Thanks Xaver.
it was missing the most important part though. the audience coughing and sneezing
Stunning
By far my favorite version
Rio de Janeiro- você é um gênio da música clássica
Parabéns 👏👏👏👏👏👏❤
Bravo!!!
I'm fascinated by the building! I wish we could have seen the other side of it. Three levels of balconies, all stuffed full of people here to hear great music played with precision and love. There must have been about 2,000 people there.
Excuse me, there was a shot from the entrance end, of the left balconies. My bad.
WOW ! BRAVO !
If via TH-cam it's already so beautiful and rich, I can imagine inside the synagogue with all the generated harmonics. Thanks for sharing this gem!
🙏👋
A léted zsenialitása adja amit választottál az élettered (Templom) GENIUS

Fantástico, Sublime...
WOW BRILLIANT! Thank you!
It is my favorite video! I see mood of the people. And you Xaver play just perfect!
What a privilige to listen to that work in that synagogue that day! Fortunately we are able to see and hear the moment. 🌺🌺🌺👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿what an interpretation. thank you
Very well done!
God on earth - thanks to Bach
Il brano è spettacolare, lui e meraviglioso come è meraviglioso il filmato. L'utilizzo quasi assoluto del teleobiettivo e il montaggio sono assoldamento degni del tutto.
Qué maravilla!!!!!!!!... Todo hermoso!... El manejo audiovisual sublime, como el organista!
I love the synagogue
Amazing
Drága Xaver, a te zenéd mindig megnyugtat, akármi is történjen..:)
Il m’a semblé apercevoir les anges battre la mesure et danser.Un grand moment d’émotions
Köszönet a feltöltésért.
Szuper ügyes és kedves szivemcsücske vagy
Wow he's fabulous!!!
Emocionante, muito emocionante.
Parabens 👏👏👏👏👏
szuper nagyszerű sőt tisztelettel megköszönöm.
Such a difficult piece, and he knocks it out the court!
That was simply beautiful , thank you.
so great and brilliant, thank you Xaver.
That's not brilliant, that's all wrong!!!
I will press like already beforehand, and i will listen after finishing BWV 478 😜 The like is well deserved, it’s a great recording 😁 Bravo indeed
BRAVOooooooooooooooo
Waaaauuhhhh! 😇
Perfeito!
Very nice interpretation, thank you!
One of the best.. Super
I regret only that I have but one like to give.
Bravo!!! Great interpretation...
A Bach imádó! Én is.
Ez nagyon jó, basszus ezt még nem is láttam, hogy tudott ez 4 évig elkerülni engem!?😮😮 Itt 2.35nel teljesen elfogadható, sőt inkább zseniális a begyorsulás / hangszínváltás, ott pont szintet lép a történet, jól kiemeled ezt! És hát ebben a tempóban melléütés nélkül már keveseknek megy. Ez jobb mint az Ivan Sokol😅🤗
Geweldig stuk.
Briljant gespeeld.
Geweldig de mensen te zien
Sublieme video
Ilyen orgonám van nekem is!
Danke
чистая радость
1:35 Xaver was dancing... :)
🤗🌄
The best🤗
Xavier got those pipes honkin out some very legit Bach
Hello! It s a digital organ!!!
davidjack1975 Read the description. It’s a digital organ console connected to the real organ.
love
👍👏🌹🙂🙏
Banger
I noticed the muscle an organist has in their hands in comparison to those of a violinist.
Мастерство Не нуждается в переводе. Я более Чем поражена...!!!
Every ones imagination running wild !
Keith Adamo I agree!
Why he starts running half way through?
Title says "Fugue", not "Prelude and Fugue" :)
Eskü mint mucsi zoltán úgy néz ki
A little too fast for our taste, but otherwise a very difficult fugue that is well-played.
Первая Ваша интерпретация,которая не понравилась. Тема ,на мой взгляд,звучит легкомысленно,в стиле не Баха,а польки-бабочки.Простите
Es un concierto o una convención de judíos?
Wrong phrasing (what's that histeric staccato?), wrong stops, zero rubato.... As usual, a poor and silly reading.
Silly comment
@@NigelDuke Legato and Rubato are the most important features in the proper Baroque music reading. Besides, even if I'm not a supporter of organists who never change stops along Bach's fugues, I find that in this specific fugue there's no hint about a change of manuals or registration. I heard several performances by this organist, and I really think he's more an actor than a true musician. If you know about M.C.Alain's performances, and philology in general, you can understand what I mean.
But... Who is you? And who is Xaver :)
@@mr_beats765 Yeah, you're right. I can answer only one part of your question: who is me? A man who spended last 35 years perfecting organ phrasing and studying in depth the aim fow which composers wrote each single note of each bar of each piece... And just for his own passion. Please don't think that Bach's music is the one played by that man... Trust me, it is much more beautiful than that! After all he's famous because of advertising. I heard hundreds of other organists who are not well renowned, and can play a lot better. But as you said... Who are them..? In any case, no problem: Bach never indicated the phrasing he had in mind, so anything goes, as far as you're not an expert.
@@dariogiorgiutti9418 What have you achieved in your life by knowing Bach's pieces in details? Man, you can anything, money and numbers means results in this field ;) You won't achieve anything by being underground.
