I find it difficult to comprehend the talent required to write such music. Then to find someone that can perform it in a way to do it justice, give it life. I played this five times in a row. Most superb Mr. Scott.
This has long been my favorite Bach piece. I taught myself to play about one page of the sheet music on the piano. So while people walk by and pound out _mary had a little lamb_ or _jingle bells_ with one finger on the demo keyboards at the store where I work, I play fugue a la gigue. I would love to have a tenth of the talent this man has. That was wonderful, sir, I'm awestruck!
If you like this fugue there is also a very nice Jig Fugue at the end of Bach,s Toccata BWV 912 for harpsichord / piano . It is really a Toccata, Adagio and Gigue Fugue . The fugue is a real gem like this one for organ but has a tremendous flourish at the end.
Generally i love to hear bachs fugues at a slower tempo than usual, but Mr Scott is so meticulously clean in his articulation that i actually enjoyed this quite fast this time round!!! He has really given it the Gigue personality.
Jonathan, I've seen many organists perform this piece with all kinds of results, some good, others a muddled mess, but you blew this one out of the water! You have the gift and it shows in your articulation, phrasing, console command, registration, overall playing technique and interpretation. It is always a pleasure to see and listen to you and to Tom, who is equally gifted and a great producer of all your videos. Thank you both for your musical and visual contributions.
Fantastic performance Jonathan. Brilliant articulation, phrasing and articulation, tempo, and of course, a wonderfully managed organ. Bach would have been proud.
This is my very favorite Bach pipe organ composition, I learned it long ago. First heard it in 1964 when I was age 12, on a recording played by E. Power Biggs. This organist plays it beautifully!
Virgil Fox once had his audience, not only clap the rhythms of this piece, but to dance the Gigue in the isles. It certainly makes a person want to give expression to the joy it conveys.
Jonathan, you are the only other person I have heard outside of the late Virgil Fox who does this fugue justice. It truly does "dance" as it is played. This organ has a beautiful temperament and really shows off this piece well. Thanks for sharing!
Amazing how these instruments sound so pipe like. Great playing. I remember when this piece was first published. Glad it’s still being played; especially so well. I’ve tackled it when younger, but my arthritis has taken my skill away. 😊
Just the way this joyful Jig should be played - *big and bold!* It's so disappointing to hear this grand piece played on a few whispering 8', 4' & 2' *flute stops* like some do. Bravo, Jonathan! And the organ sounds wonderful as well. Thanks also for the stoplist - always very interesting to see. And great appreciation to your gifted brother for the high quality sound, video and editing.
Jonathan is absolutely amazing but give some credit to Tom; Your camera positions and angles, not to mention your editing are better than first rate! Seeing what Jon is doing remarkably enhances the music. What a team! Great music and great visuals.
YAHOO!!! Oh, this made my soul dance and my feet fly! Jonathan, I think old Bach just applauded, I know I sure did! This is the very best rendition of this glorious piece (my favourite piece, by the way) that I have ever heard! Thank you for this beautiful gift! You are a magnificent talent and I thank you for sharing your gifts with us! You too, Tom; beautifully filmed with superb audio, you brothers are just fantastic! ❤️❤️🙏🏻🏅🇨🇦
Fantastic Jonathan! My late Dad who was a very accomplished organist himself, would have loved to hear/see you play. Keep up the good work and look forward to the next offering, which brings me so much joy! Also thanks to Tom for his marvellous filming. You two are a great team. Greetings from Australia.
superb performance! I especially appreciate the excellent registrations and utilization of the three manuals. I believe tat Bach himself would give you an "attaboy."
Tom I listened to this on my audio system and it was like being there. On studio headphones it was bliss. By the way Jonathan your playing was superb registration and tempo beautiful. Looking forward to Victoria recital and Liege.
been to see Jonathan Scott today he play up storm it was fab I had the privlage to on organ tour it was worth I saw the organ from the back at the brigewater hall I had the pravlage to play cord on he organ as well it was amazing thakcs every one
Love this organ and performance of this joyous piece. Please please will you do a recording from Manchester Cathedral? Would be wonderful to hear a recording of it!
I first learned of this work through the good offices of E. Power Biggs and the Flentrop organ he performed it on, ages ago. It's good to hear the same verve and brio he played it with duplicated here, both in tempo and stop selection. Beautifully done!
Yes like Virgil Fox at the Wanamaker, Excellent! I listen it when my wife is outside, cause the walls are coming down then! This must be heard blasted!
Omg yes That crisp execution though!!! Bold deep crunchy pedal reeds yayyy....perfect!. Not only do you have a legacy of a fabulous Organist live, its now great watching your online repertoire build up too. Please keep them coming boys! (P.s. please play tu es petra on a big hefty organ pleaaassseseee 😂)
This was our wedding recessional 38-years ago. It takes me back to that day every time I hear this piece. Thank you God for my wife.
An excellent way to end the wedding! May your marriage be blessed and fruitful.
I was just thinking this would be a great wedding recessional piece 😂 I guess GMTA.
This was ours too. Love it!
This was ours too, just a year ago!
A real challenge for the poor organist.
The spirit of Bach is thriving in Jonathan Scott, heartily endorsed by Bob the Dread Pirate! Soli Deo Gracias!!
Those feet are really dancing over the keys. Wonderful!
Bach was as merciless to the hands as Handel to the voice. This takes real perseverance to get play this . Great job.
but once you get the hang of it and engrane the 'muscle memory' on it, this piece is so FUN to play
And to the feet on the pedals.
@@Ken_Weber_organist I always find when I finally get a good Bach piece learned; it is fun , inspiring, and fulfilling to play.
I find it difficult to comprehend the talent required to write such music. Then to find someone that can perform it in a way to do it justice, give it life. I played this five times in a row. Most superb Mr. Scott.
Some musical scholars claim thathis is not Bach. Who else could have written it? It is too good.
@@robertgift6762 People claim that about half of Bach's music isn't actually his.
This has long been my favorite Bach piece. I taught myself to play about one page of the sheet music on the piano. So while people walk by and pound out _mary had a little lamb_ or _jingle bells_ with one finger on the demo keyboards at the store where I work, I play fugue a la gigue. I would love to have a tenth of the talent this man has. That was wonderful, sir, I'm awestruck!
And....I also love this...my very favorite Bach composition for the pipe organ, ever since I was age 12.
Pure JOY!

@@stuartmclaren2402 yep, it's fantastic in Trevor Pinnock's version
tempo is perfect and the articulation unmatched! thank you for an inspiring performance.
This must be the HAPPIEST piece Bach ever wrote and it was played absolutely MASTERFULLY by Mr Scott here.
There are organists who can do justice, play it as Bach would have and with a relaxed demeanor. it was delightful. Thank you.
Generally i love to hear bachs fugues at a slower tempo than usual, but Mr Scott is so meticulously clean in his articulation that i actually enjoyed this quite fast this time round!!! He has really given it the Gigue personality.
Wow - this was really well done! Good job. I love this piece; and it was not rushed - tempo was superb.

Used to listen to this stuff with my dad REALLY loud. Wonderful wonderful job!
I wish I could listen to classical music with my parents. However, its not their "thing".
Ça donne vraiment la pêche et envie de danser cette fugue en forme de gigue de note cher JS Bach.
Never tire of watching this
I do. It’s a superb performance rendered dull by a dead acoustic . A waste of a superb instrument installing it in a space like that.
Without any doubt, the best fugue performance I've ever heard. All the voices are clean and make all together a gracious work.
Congratulations.
Finally I found the best performance of BWV 577! Bravo!
this was probably the most emotive version ive ever heard those bass notes at end were extra sublime
Probably the best rendition of this Fugue I've heard in a VERY long time. I love hearing this played loud and fast ^_^
I studied that piece with Virgil Fox.
You play it very well.
Thank you.
Dr. Stephen
What utter joy! Makes me laugh and cry with the beauty of the music and unbelievable skill of the organist
Fantastic performance Jonathan. Brilliant articulation, phrasing and articulation, tempo, and of course, a wonderfully managed organ. Bach would have been proud.
An outstanding performance - great tempi with very clear articulation
This is my very favorite Bach pipe organ composition, I learned it long ago. First heard it in 1964 when I was age 12, on a recording played by E. Power Biggs. This organist plays it beautifully!
Bravo Jonathan you are the best in the UK!
Sui pedali vorrai dire si e un altra tastiera suonata con i piedi che accresce la difficolta di questo meraviglioso strumento
Just thrilling. Glorious music on a great instrument, played delightfully! Dancing on the pedals!
Virgil Fox once had his audience, not only clap the rhythms of this piece, but to dance the Gigue in the isles. It certainly makes a person want to give expression to the joy it conveys.
This performance makes my heart sing. 💜
Pure bliss. Am I in heaven?
Jonathan, you are the only other person I have heard outside of the late Virgil Fox who does this fugue justice. It truly does "dance" as it is played. This organ has a beautiful temperament and really shows off this piece well. Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely brilliant! Played at a proper tempo! Exhilarating and exciting.
Amazing how these instruments sound so pipe like. Great playing. I remember when this piece was first published. Glad it’s still being played; especially so well. I’ve tackled it when younger, but my arthritis has taken my skill away. 😊
Like Virgil Fox used to say; this piece makes you want to dance. It is filled with joy. Wonderful playing.
I love this piece, so joyful! Very crisp playing! You can hear every note and articulation. Bravo!
Such clarity!
Goosebumps! Just beautiful!
Listening to this music is like standing in sunshine.
Dancing in sunshine!
Irre mega gut ....
💯❤
Wonderful...just wonderful. Such a joyous piece, played with exceptional articulation.
What a thrilling performance! Great job.
This is brilliantly played, tempo, registration, technique all first class. Do did this justice my friend. Thank you!
Best version I have ever heard
The rumbling of the low notes almost shook my desk.
Love the majestic sounds of this organ✅
You know how to play Bach. You have skills... good work. Keep on the good work !
Just the way this joyful Jig should be played - *big and bold!* It's so disappointing to hear this grand piece played on a few whispering 8', 4' & 2' *flute stops* like some do.
Bravo, Jonathan! And the organ sounds wonderful as well.
Thanks also for the stoplist - always very interesting to see.

Impecable!!❤
Fantastic. Words can't describe ........You laid it out on the Piece. Masterclass. Best ever Fugue. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I just love pipe organ music!
YAHOO!!! Oh, this made my soul dance and my feet fly! Jonathan, I think old Bach just applauded, I know I sure did! This is the very best rendition of this glorious piece (my favourite piece, by the way) that I have ever heard! Thank you for this beautiful gift! You are a magnificent talent and I thank you for sharing your gifts with us! You too, Tom; beautifully filmed with superb audio, you brothers are just fantastic! ❤️❤️🙏🏻🏅🇨🇦
Makes you want to dance
Bravo!! Every note so clear. Thanks guys.
Bellissima!!!
Much as I admire your transcriptions, it’s a joy to hear you play some Bach composed for the organ. What a shame you hadn’t an audience!
superb rendition of the Gigue Fugue in G Major.....
This is a great music that make you dance while you play, and it is very fantastic.
Stunning playing
Fantastic Jonathan! My late Dad who was a very accomplished organist himself, would have loved to hear/see you play.
Keep up the good work and look forward to the next offering, which brings me so much joy! Also thanks to Tom for his marvellous filming. You two are a great team. Greetings from Australia.
very nice, good registration and the voices are clearly distinguishable while sounding good together ^^
Completely fantastic.
Virgil Fox would be well pleased. A stunning performance!
Awesome. Nice attention to detail. I especially like the contrast in dynamics which some players don't do as well or even worse, ignore!
Brawo Maestro !👌🌹
Show!! Lindo!!
Saudações e um abraço aqui do Brasil.
You are fantastic! Many Many Many compliments from Italy!
This was the best gift of my birthday!
Beautifully play, recorded and filmed. Thank you, all of you. Bravo.
superb performance! I especially appreciate the excellent registrations and utilization of the three manuals. I believe tat Bach himself would give you an "attaboy."
Wow! Another favorite. Well played. Thanks.
Way to go!! Fabulous!!!!👍😊
That subject looks so long for a fugue ,and still Bach made it work. And your interpretation makes it even better thank you
Tom I listened to this on my audio system and it was like being there. On studio headphones it was bliss. By the way Jonathan your playing was superb registration and tempo beautiful. Looking forward to Victoria recital and Liege.
Brilliant!!
Wonderfully danced and such a brave tempo
been to see Jonathan Scott today he play up storm it was fab I had the privlage to on organ tour it was worth I saw the organ from the back at the brigewater hall I had the pravlage to play cord on he organ as well it was amazing thakcs every one
I don't know about stops, but i think the Bombarde 16' and the Fagott 32' really do it for me.
Love this organ and performance of this joyous piece. Please please will you do a recording from Manchester Cathedral? Would be wonderful to hear a recording of it!
I know the bell toss is coming but still makes me smile
I love it
Great Job You’ve Played JS Bach Gigue Fugue G major BMV 577. You Can play it at The Baseball Field.
The Baseball Stadium Organ.
Located in Citi Field in New York.

Biggs’ remains the best I havever heard. Biggs makes a mistake in the pedal which sounds like a mordent. It soundso good that I play a mordenthere.
It was beautiful.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
at the very beginning i thought this was going to be a very baroque arrangement of heart and soul
Stunning 😁
Yes like Virgil Fox at the Wanamaker, Excellent! I listen it when my wife is outside, cause the walls are coming down then! This must be heard blasted!
Spirit of King Asa. Many thanks and thanks.
Amazing
Beautiful
Super! 👍
Bravo!
Not easy to dance a gigue on pedal! Bravissimo!
Magnifique
Superb.
SPOT ON JONATHAN SPOT ON BRAVO
