This is some of the best keyboard playing I've ever heard, and of course the FBO is fantastic as always.. Every single articulation and agogic effect on the organ is utterly perfect. Technically dazzling and deeply, soulfully expressive. It's rare in the real world that anything ever comes together quite this amazingly. Thank you, musicians, for having such passion and energy.
Phantastisch, grandios virtuos! Allein die Phrasierungen sind unglaublich. Dazu ein Ensemble, dessen Intonation auch Meister Händel mit Sicherheit glücklich gemacht hätte. Bravissimo!
Thanks for the nice comment! Handel played this concerto on an organ with similar stops. He had commissioned a large instrument for March 1735, which for unknown reasons was not completed until the second performance of HWV 293 (as part of a performance of Deborah HWV 51) on March 28. The organ case was so high that it was not possible for Handel to look over the organ, so the organ concertos op.4 had to be conducted by the concertmaster or from the harpsichord. However, according to Siegbert Rampe, even the smaller organs that were previously available at the Theatre Royal Covent Garden must have been larger than the organ positives usually used today for Handel's organ concerts. All the above information can be found in S. Rampe, Händels Theaterorgeln und seine Orgelkonzerte (Ars Organi, June 2009). A fantastic and surprising resource especially for those who still believe that small chest organs are the appropriate instruments for this music! For this performance we used a portable Organo di Legno by the great organ builder Andreas Schiegnitz voceumana.de. The organ has 5 stops: Open Diapason 8' wood Stopped Diapason 8' wood Voce Umana 8' (only discant) Octav 4' wood Fifteenth 2' metal
@@sebastianwienand4385 Thank you Sebastian for this initiated and wonderful information. I am sure more than me (just an amateur) has wondered about this organ. Now we have all the facts in this case.
Was für eine wundervolle Aufführung dieses prächtigen Konzertes - einfach beeindruckend. Macht mir sehr viel freude und hat meinen Tag erhellt! Und der junge Kollege spielt einfach atemberaubend, das Ensemble sowieso. Vielen Dank 🙂
Händel would totally have approved of this performance, especially the brilliant ornamentations by Mr Wienand, entirely in the spirit of the Baroque. It makes the many different interpretations of this concerto seem lame and colourless. Vielen Dank für diese tadelose und geschmackvolle Aufführung!
Yes, but that shouldn't prevent us from playing these wonderful concertos on a big organ. Händel would undoubtedly have used a large organ, if he had one at his disposal. I remember Karl Richter in the Great Musikvereinsaal in Vienna. He wasn't shy of using the entire organ. It was fantastic!
Old instuments, and also not so old, are today combined with an Ipad. Even if they play old music. Thats ok with me. As I understand no one so far has forbidden the Ipad together with old music. But I only wait for the day when some besserwisser claim that the use of Ipad is not proper at all together with old music😆
I love the soft sound of the organ with the quick nearly harpsichord like attack.

素晴らしい演奏 この演奏に毎日出会えることを感謝します。 心が浮き立ち、笑顔でいられます 。

What a wonderful consert! And what a beautiful and special organ Sebastian Wienand is playing.
What kind of organ is it?
Thanks for the nice comment!

Wonderful!
Excellent
❤ Handel at its Best.
This is so good! ❤
Actually Handel wrote for a small portable organ in these concertos. They were performed in a theater not a church. The effects are totally different.
Yes I have by now learned this. See Sebastian Wienands answer on my comment.
Diese Kirche wird in dem Fall als "Konzerthaus" genutzt.
Handel did not use an I-pad either...

I enjoy it, even if the 21st c. critics don't.😊🎵
Wooow🥹🤤🔥

Szerintem mèg a Medve is megtapsolná, káprázatos
Why not use the big organ..
To blend with the ensemble
Wonderfull!!
