This piece really does separate the sheep from the goats. I´m not sure which side Richard is on, but anyway, he´s pretty damn good. Congratulations to you, Richard, on this impressive performance.
SPLENDID Performance! THANK YOU for NOT eliding the eighth note upbeats as almost everyone does incorrectly. You have freed the music from the page and allowed it to dance!
I just love this fugue and this performance is perfect in every respect - tempo, registration (especially the echo effect on the Brustwerk) and the no nonsense ending that doesn't pander to the temptation to do a slight rallentando in the last 2 bars. Brilliant, Richard (even though your playing does make me feel like a paraplegic!) Keep up the good work. I'm off to do some practice now!
Marvelous performance, and at a perfect tempo, too. So many organists tend to rush this. Good camera work by Caroline, too. Next you need to tie a GoPro on Nala and let her run through the pedals whilst you're playing, ;)
I agree, the tempo is good, let's think about mechanical organs of Bach period. I don't like so much the stops choice, mixtures and fagott 16' at the pedal.
Absolutely brilliant. Love the shirt. We heard Carlo Curley play this and thought we would never hear it any better. We just have ! Thankyou. (rip Carlo). Trevor and Jan. Canewdon Essex. Ps my first car was a Ford consul 375. 👏👏🐈🧦😊
MY STARS! You have gone and played my favorite musical work of all, and better than ANY other performance I have ever heard. That includes Mr. and Mrs. Durufle on the dual Mollers at the National Shrine at Washington DC. Their rendition was electrifying, and yours as well, at a somewhat higher voltage.
Wonderful! A great performance filmed with some fine camera work, love it! I especially like the antiphonal effect with the Brustwerk. Thank you Richard!
Sort of like walking a tightrope. If you look down you're lost. Thanks for posting this wonderful and joyful piece. Am I imagining things, or is this one of Bach's more fiendishly difficult organ works?
Hi Richard. Just back from a trip and watched this video as soon as I saw it was up! I watched Virgil play this many times in concert back in the day, and your rendition of it takes me right back to those performances. Great registrations and articulation. One of my favorite pieces, and you did it proud!
One of my all-time favorite pieces by Bach! Are you playing entirely on "Hauptwerk" software or are you playing the actual pipe organ? If it's hauptwerk, your console set-up is amazing!
In jest from the choir loft: Actually Nala the cat can fly in from the choir loft, and she uses a "Go-Pro" camera. She is such a talented kitty. And Bobbie Cat runs the invisible Hauptwerk console stops.
Wonderful! Since I cannot read and play thisimultaneously, I had to memorize it. The mordents, grace notes and trills heard athe beginning should be continued throughout this magnificent work. Nice that Richard plays mordents others omit, such as 1:27, 1:55. (At 2:16 I mordent the pedal C.) The pedal notes following should be played for full value, not shortchanged and separatedue to difficulty. At 2:18 I trill the pedal C#. Very unfortunate thathe videographer does not show the complex pedaling after 2:21. Again, those pedal noteshould be played full value and connected. We tend to shortchange notes trying to geto the next notes. Mordenthe G at 2:29, E at 2:45. 3:01 Mordenthe pedal. Playing this fromemory will sound even better!
Hello. On a related subject can you shed any light on why Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in E Major is so seldom performed, or recorded? BWV 566. Have been an organ listener for 60 years and only recently discovered it. My new obsession!! Thanks.
Thank you for this. Love this piece and a great rendition. Have a technical question. How do you get the iPad to "flip" through music as you're playing? I've copied 'pics' of music onto my iPad but still have to manually "flip" through the pics. Thanks for any advice.
Richard, which page turn method do you use with forScore? I didn't see you pushing any buttons on some bluetooth device, and not turning your head either or anything? I'm using a bluetooth foot page turn device with my piano, but that's obviously not ideal with organs ;)
No the organ is complete. The stop heads match up to the virtual organ I’m playing; the smaller the virtual organ the fewer stop heads I need. Some other videos on BIS have much larger virtual organs.
Moderate tempo, and no dry staccato, good ! But I don't like so much the Mixtures for the fugas. The same for the pedal, the Fagott 16' is too heavy. But I like the tempo and the phrasing, I'm learning it like that.

You simply can’t be in a bad mood after hearing this piece.
That is so true!
I know! It's one of those works that I listen to whenever I need to get cheered up.
I can. I’m in a bad mood, because Richard can play it and I cannot.
This piece really does separate the sheep from the goats. I´m not sure which side Richard is on, but anyway, he´s pretty damn good. Congratulations to you, Richard, on this impressive performance.
That's what I call a perfect 3 minutes 20 seconds! Really cheered me up 😊
Played at our wedding 16 years ago. Thank you.

This is just smashing! Wonderful tempo with musicality and power!

I love your tempo. Too many organists slop thru and a tempo that Bach would have hated. Well-done, Sir Richard!!
Absolutely stunning and perfect in every way! Bravo
Nice to hear you play and looking somewhat casual...
Our dishy Richard play on young man play on👏
Fabulous! What an effervescent performance. Lovely camera work as well. Truly wonderful. 😊
That camera work isn’t too bad. Well done Hugo!
:D And hasn't he grown tall?!
@@bluefunkybassman -- oh -- I thought Hugo was flying a drone that he got for his birthday ... ;-)
🤣
Such a perfect playing👏👏 without stop and it just continue from the first part until to the end. Marvelous 👍👍
This is my favorite piece of music….EVER! It changes your soul! Wonderful!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
While listening to this but not watching. I never would have guessed that it was from a virtual organ. Well done indeed.
See that you learned to “Dance the Gig!” Way to go!
Beautiful! This Gigue always puts a smile on my face!
Absolutely brilliant. Love the shirt. We heard Carlo Curley play this and thought we would never hear it any better. We just have ! Thankyou. (rip Carlo). Trevor and Jan. Canewdon Essex. Ps my first car was a Ford consul 375. 👏👏🐈🧦😊

Lovely
In 1980, we had a party at Uppsala Castle (Sweden). 150 people did a long dance to the Jig Fugue (Virgil Fox recording). Great fun!
Just the right pace, joyful and spirited. What else could you want?
A superb rendition and exquisite organ for it to be played on too. Thank you Richard
Thanks Richard
You made my day
God Bless
Richard, a truly amazing mastery of my very favorite Bach organ piece. Bravo!!
I’ve never heard this on the organ, only the harpsichord. This performance is wonderful, Richard.
Must have been a pedal harpsichord.
Thank you Richard. Great to wake up to and help me start the day. Well done Hugo with the camera. Blessings from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Wonderful, Richard! Superbly played, and the Ermelo sample is so bright and cheery, wonderful combination and registration.
Beautiful. I love Bach.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
One of my all-time favorites. Superbly done!
Wonderful!👏👏😊🌞
I really like that you have these shorter videos too. I find them somewhat easier to incorporate into my day.
Très belle prestation.Le tempo est parfait.On entend chaque note de façon claire.Bravo Monsieur McVeigh.
Merci beaucoup!
one of my favorites
Wonderful tempo. Perfect articulation. Bravo.👏
Bravo! Thank you, Richard!
A wonderful first video of the day! Thank you so much.
Wonderful! A great performance filmed with some fine camera work, love it! I especially like the antiphonal effect with the Brustwerk. Thank you Richard!
You simply can't be in a bad mood after seeing that shirt 😏. As always, so good and so appreciated for BIS.
Amazing!!
My favorite Bach composition so masterfully played...Bravo!
My friend also said "POV: You're playing a game. But your broski (friend) pull out this masterpiece from his voicechat"
Next to the sinfonia from BWV527, this is my favorite Bach piece and your redition was simply perfect..
I was lucky to have heard Virgil Fox play this. He had people dancing in the aisles.......
I really enjoyed this - Brilliant playing and super camera shots - Thank you.
Enjoyed hearing this.
Bravo! Well done! Glorious music and exquisite playing. Thank you, Richard!
That was Beautiful!! Your phrasing, technique and ornamentation were GREAT! Your tempo was just perfect to "Jig" by as well!! Bravo!! Thank you...
Sort of like walking a tightrope. If you look down you're lost.
Thanks for posting this wonderful and joyful piece.
Am I imagining things, or is this one of Bach's more fiendishly difficult organ works?
Perfect in every way!!
Joyous!
Absolutely brilliant and spot on! I really should finish learning this at some point. It's sooo much fun and leaves you smiling inside and out! 😍👏
Wonderful played 💜💜💜
Great tempo, so many organists play this so fast you loose the detail

Absolute world class performance, Richard. I remember watching you practice this recently, and finally seeing it performed is wonderful. Thank you!
Wonderful !!! So inspiring. Thank you
Wonderful thank you
Absolutely fantastic! This piece looks so difficult, but it was brilliantly played.
Agreed!
It IS difficult
Terrific sound. Many thanks for uploading this video.
So wonderful, thank for sharing!
Bravo!
Bravo 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻🍻
Awesome playing Richard!
An impressive display of skill
Charming. Thank you.
Wonderful performance. Elegant tempo and crisp articulation. You make it look so effortless and I've played it so I know it's not easy.
This piece is as fun to play as it is to hear. Nicely done, sir.
Great performance. I also like this one.

Very nice!
splendid
There should be a law against being so damn perfect. You're under arrest Richard. And congratulations!
incroyable
Lovely! That is a @#%! work to play, and it was fantastic!
Virgil Fox loved this piece. And so do I
FAb playing - enjoyed the echo effect. I suspect for the player, once you get it going it's difficult to stop!
One of my all-time favorite pieces by Bach! Are you playing entirely on "Hauptwerk" software or are you playing the actual pipe organ? If it's hauptwerk, your console set-up is amazing!
Still trying to figure out how you turn the pages on your iPad . . . 🤔
Absolutely Marvelous… A # 1-2 Favorite ! Watched Virgil play it on ok’d B &W video ,…. Richard is a Virgil clone !
In jest from the choir loft:

I like the little kitty figures on the console. Where are those from? they look Scandinavian. Lively music to start my morning.

BWV 566. Have been an organ listener for 60 years and only recently discovered it. My new obsession!! Thanks.
Greetings Richard
I agree with Doug Alderdice. Perfect tempo and articulate. I once requested you play this as postlude for VC. Are you game?
And my wife got up and did a line dance to this…😇🤗
👍💯
Thank you for this. Love this piece and a great rendition. Have a technical question. How do you get the iPad to "flip" through music as you're playing? I've copied 'pics' of music onto my iPad but still have to manually "flip" through the pics. Thanks for any advice.
It’s the Pro element of ForScore - it recognises my mouth twitching!
Tell me about the different drawknob configurations. I notice they're different for different pieces.
I've noticed newer organists using tablets. There's lots of page turns on the piece when I play it. 🎼🎶🎶🎶
Richard, which page turn method do you use with forScore? I didn't see you pushing any buttons on some bluetooth device, and not turning your head either or anything? I'm using a bluetooth foot page turn device with my piano, but that's obviously not ideal with organs ;)
A joyous performance Richard, bravo, a trivial question, how do you turn pages on the ipad when your hands and feet are busy?
Super ! - Is this organ in the process of being refurbished or something ? - Most of the stops are missing.
No the organ is complete. The stop heads match up to the virtual organ I’m playing; the smaller the virtual organ the fewer stop heads I need. Some other videos on BIS have much larger virtual organs.
How does he turn the pages on the ipad?
Well played, Richard. I'd have liked the little echo passages in the original exposition on the Swell as well (e.g. at 13 and 27 seconds). but bravo!
They weren’t in my score, but I know that some people do do them
hey richard, im wondering how much ram you have on your organ!
128GB
@@beautyinsound and then theres me with my measly 22 gb, love your work!
How does that electronic score work? I mean how do the "pages" get "turned"?
It's through an app called ForScore
Thanks@@magnifyoparah2402
