MAGNIFIQUE MERCIS
What a marvelous pairing of Mr. Varnus on the Organ and Ms. Kiss on the Piano. This was an amazing duo. So Beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful! I sure don’t want this to end
Best organist in the word.
A spine-tingling performance by both players. This, together with Varnus' rendition of the passacaglia on the Silbermann organ, is now in my "top ten".
Beautful. It sounds so right. sends me to sleep, purified in spirit and mind. I regret to say that I am in a wheel chair but that does mean that the mind is. Imprisoned as well My golden rule is : do what you can. Not what you can’t this keeps you sane too !
Mike Matthews .... what you say so inspiring. God opens that window when He closes the door. Be well!
Your golden rule is just added some light in the darkness of life that I struggle through. Finding Maestro Varnus also adds to the joy music has been in my limited life. Thank you both! 👩🦼
It’s divine!
This illustrates magnificently my suspicion that Xaver Varnus is the greatest organist around.
This version is actually surprisingly very good. Usually I hate piano + organ, but they juste did is so well there..
if you hate ...why did you watch? How did you look for?...funny
though it was juste organ. Also im not dogmatic, i try a lot of versions
Yes, both artists show extreme musicianship and a beautiful sound.
Какое великолепное прочтение Чаконы! Невероятно
MERVEILLEUSE VERSION SUPER JE L ECOUTE EN BOUCLE
Glorious oboe stop on that instrument! I have listened to it about 30 times!
This is his version and when I heard it the first time, I had to look for the oboe player because I was sure it was only organ and piano.
@@astralislux305 Me too, the same! 😉
Pace!
Minunat! Stralucitor!
Multumim.

Very Beautiful. The Great Chaconne is well balanced between Xaver Varnus on the organ and Petra Kiss on piano. Very interesting!
I think it's pretty. It feels like the instruments are speaking to each other.
The pianist is excellent. The organ just muddies the water, and obscures the compelling beauty of the piece.
ich liebe Bach
Csodálatos mü és interpretátorok! Balzsam a léleknek! Köszönöm
Magnificent performance in an equally magnificent venue.
Gratulálok!
Very good. What a beautiful building, and great playing as always. Xaver's organ concerts are like 90% of the music i only listen to, since i found him on TH-cam. Love the athmosphere and the mechanics of pipe organs, and Xaver's playing is 100% accurate.
Xaver and the pianist were in perfect sync. Very romantic. I did see pipes in one background view. Maybe the sound was a combination of pipes and electronics. From Chicago, U.S.A.
Marvellous, Xaver - thank you!
I meditate and ... Oh, suddenly I'm in the middle of a prayer ...thank You !
06:36...are you there?:)
Straordinarie queste versioni bachiane...
Complimenti! 💘
Fantasztikus!Gratulálok és köszönöm!
Wow, what a very beautiful performance 👍
Every time I hear you play...... those organs resonate in my soul. Please don’t stop, more need to feel. So blessed I found your videos hope to see you play in person one day. Ohio in USA, where I’m from
Köszönöm kedves és nagyszerű hangversenyeteket
szuper nagyszerűek vagytok. nagyon köszönöm.Gratulálok csak igy tovább
A very thoughtful and musical interpretation of this amazing piece from both musicians
Köszönöm, hogy tegnap megnyugtattál! Most megosztalak , mert vasárnap nem tudtalak,! Bocsánat, hogy ma!
Köszönöm szépen! :-)
A mesmerizing arrangement... Really love the organ registers here.
Beautiful Love the ending , ? in D minor my way to heaven
❤️❤️❤️
MAGNIFICENT performance and production. Congratulations.
I fully agree. I also appreciated a quiet and self-disciplined audience. I liked the video showing people paying attention and truly loving the performance.

I enjoyed this very much, even though it sounds more like Mendelsohn than it does Bach. A thoroughly romantic interpretation of a romantic-period arrangement of a baroque-era piece. Unfortunately, a better understanding of the finer points of baroque performance practice would have produced something much closer to the composer's original intention. For my part, I'd have preferred an 'authentic' (not a dirty word!) baroque tracker organ interpretation rather than a piano-organ rendition. Despite my stylistic criticisms, this is a obviously a very dignified, moving and expressive performance.
At th-cam.com/video/ssjntkRv4mQ/w-d-xo.html you can clearly hear handwriting of Bach. And of course, perfect interpretation!
The first part reminds me of all of the pain and madness that I have experienced and then at 7:31, pure magic, I can see through it all, I can see my departed true love, Her standing there before me, smiling, ready to reach out for me, I reach out to bring Her close to me, I can feel that our heartbeats are slightly out of sync, but our souls are in phase, and I get lost in Her eyes, I can see all of this just by listening, She is the piano and I am the organ.
Very interesting transcription, I've never listened to it, I just knew other versions (solo violin, guitar, piano, organ).
XaverVarnus super good luck
Csodálatos a művész finomsága, ráérzése.
Tetszel!
hahahah :) csak rámenősen :D

This is a beautiful variation. But it can never replace the violin presentation as performed by Heifetz, Stern, Milstein or Perlman. The sound of the piano has somehow a far smaller frame of expression than that of a violin. The original contains a sadness and at the same time an exuberant brilliance which both, the piano and organ cannot express, perhaps the human voice.

La obra es original para violín, no me gustó la repartición de Piano y Órgano, le invito Sr. Xavier Varnus a interpretar La Chacona para órgano solo. Saludos cordiales.
Pur pesantemente rimaneggiata,al punto da perdere in alcuni passaggi la fisionomia di "Chaconne" rimane molto suggestiva
C'est le summum de la musique, c'est le summum de l'art, c'est le summum de la civilisation planètaire.
Why is he playing this digital organ instead of playing the grand Walcker-organ with 4 Manuals and 85 stops? I dont get it.... Beautiful music although...
"Beautiful music" is all what we should care about. This electronic instrument is marvelous--and combined with Xaver's unsurpassable talent, we get superb music.

Quite agree, as long as the sound was as good as this version.
That explains the Oboe :-D

Jo.
You are not playing solo which means you should include the pianist's name in the title of the video.
The pianist's name and her short cv is included on description
unfortunately, it s much better to record this music without anybody as spectators, because people don t really like music and they cough too much. In this video, we hear stupid people gagging all concert long !!
I know, all I can think of is that Bugs Bunny cartoon where he shoots that guy in the audience that won't stop coughing, makes me wish one could do that in real life.
I was at a Ivor Pogorelich concert and this stupid woman behind me kept unwrapping cough drops and crunching the wrappers. The pianist stopped and stared .
Not stupid people. Assuming that they are not having a cold, they are allergic to dust, and this is quite a typical reaction. Way more than 50% of the people coughing in concert halls are doing it in reaction to foreign (to them) dust. Not everyone knows that to stop coughing during concerts all they need is to have some antihistamine started a day or hours before (depending on the particular drug). There were a couple of classrooms at the university I went to where I’d just cough my lungs out and couldn’t really attend the lecture. I wish someone who knew their stuff would let me know about the possibility of it being an allergy…
Good, although perhaps a little over romantic.
That is a digital organ, the obe is a recording of a real player. If he hols the key long enough the vibrato comes in.. It is nothing more than a 3 manual synthesizer. Such a shame such trickery should be used to play beautiful music.
"Nothing more than a 3 manual synthesizer"
The same could be said for imitative organ ranks where the goal is to produce the actual orchestral instrument. This organ just does a lot better than pipes ever could.
I'm sorry that you can't enjoy the beautiful music because it's produced in a way that you don't like.
Dear Mr. Shaw, What is your problem? Sometimes it's better to install a a 3 manual Synthesizer than a Harmonium. In this room you have a big problem. Where you will install a Pipe- Organ or a Harmonium. It's impossible. More advantages are, the synthesizer can be adjustet to the room and the sound of the piano. Sometimes is less a little bit more...
Just listen to the performance...forget the technical stuff. The real testimony here is two great artists playing an iconic work from the father of all composers to a packed house in an concert hall that hallows the greayest pianist in history.
maybe you will not believe it - but there are some other good organ players not only Xaver Varnus! Boring ....
+Tchaikovsky56 Who are you replying to? :-) Your comment is currently only a general comment on this video..
Varnus does it for me, I would follow him anywhere!
