Did the organ ever "sing" like this? The subtlety of rhythmic "rubato" whilst staying within the baroque idiom is astonishing. He make it sound like someone talking to you, every breath, every word, perfectly placed and therefore fully emotionally understood. I've played this piece a hundred times, and heard it played many more, but every bit of emotional content is captured by Latry. Just Amazing......Bravo!!
I think every person should hear this at least once in their life. Just sublime
This is the first time I have ever understood how beautiful this piece is! I never liked it before -- to me it always sounded muddy, or like a swamp. Now I realize it was because of how it was played. This version is absolutely exquisite! (It also goes to show: If there is a piece by Bach you don't like -- listen again! You are probably missing something!)
I want two assistants to take care of my every need (page turns, pull stops, fresh supply of drinks, mop my brow, etc.) for every church service!
I also want that 8' principal!
What a masterful and poetic performance. Beautiful flowing rubato, evident in the movement of hands, arms and body (most organists are quite stiff). Refined and original ornamentation. Splendid.
They Are supposed to be. The extra movements cost a lot of Energy and might distract you. This piece is different. The Registration isn‘t so Challenging (no changes in the piece), it is slow, Not too Long and yes about expression of the soul :)
Magnifique ! Quel talent artistique ! Merci pour cette interprétation sensible d'un chef d'oeuvre.
Still beautifull, thanks for posting this masterpiece
Organiste bien entouré et surtout la "présence "de BACH pour ce beau choral.
Astonishing. Thank you.
The solo principal is just sublime.
thank you, what a beautiful play
Very very difficult piece of Bach ! Very good.
Why so?
@@davidjames1684 Getting the ornamentations right
Wonderful composition and interpretation
poetry !!!!
Deeply moving!
True mastery of the mystery of Bach. A brilliant and moving performance
Lovely and reverent!
Grande Bach....grande spiritualità....m
Very nice played, with the right feeling.
A very worthy inperpretation. Exactly how many ornaments were in the score I do not know, but there were a lot. So I think it is very well done. Beautiful sounding organ, and superbly recorded; love the bottom end.
Thank!
I first heard this being played by Schweitzer.
I dearly wish that someone would be so kind as to play this without ornaments, just so that I can get my head around the tune! (The score has all these ornaments, so playing it without would be contrary to the instructions of Bach.)
This is what Albert Schweitzer’s interpretation of this chorale Prelude was supposed to be. Schweitzer lacked the technique and the profound sensitivity of M. Latry, and he also lacked the quality of organ and that wonderfully singing 8’ Principal heard here. Schweitzer’s spirituality shone through his imperfect playing. Latry slides smoothly into the adagissimo close.
Brilliant play en registration
He can be really subtle and musical when occasion demands. Not everything need to be turbulent fff.
10 second final chord... jeez. I usually hear 7 seconds but I get 3 bonus seconds here.
At the end it sounds like Bach were inviting Schumann to take over his harmonic legacy
Getragen, um Ton für Ton die "Sünde beweinen" zu können.
I've been listening for Matthew Fisher's source/inspiration of his organ soli on A Whiter Shade of Pell. Wikipedia suggests BWV 662 but I don't hear it. They also suggest Air on G and Sleeper's Wake-nada. A walking bass-line isn't a melody. If it's in Bach's BWV 156, where? Happy 72nd bday Mr.Fisher, you salty dog!
As if music were speech..
