Imagine writing a piece when you're 18 and it still being played 100s of years later. Some modern music is only relevant for 6 months lol.
When music was good
It's not fair. :/ I want to make classical music but nope, still at school being lame.
@@boseifrit5480 Music is still good.
@@boseifrit5480 wdym
@@tankpenguin175 well this modern pop rap and hip hop shit makes me angry. Dont yet me started abt mumble rap. People listen to this shit music, with horrible lyrics may I say, then bash metal and rock for its lyrics which aren't nearly as bad.
wish he would've played fugue as well, but this was stellar
Lmbo, I commented something similar just before I saw your comment; another man of culture I see ;p
Interstellar 😇

One of Classical music's masterpieces. And, to think that Bach was only 18 or 19 when he wrote it! Amazing. Talent is gifted from God.
@@dougoverhoff7568 wait, really? That's crazy
“We need to test all the pipes on our new organ.”
Bach: “Hold my beer”
You want to test all the pipes? Go for Max Reger
Hi Brother Demolay, I am from Brazil, Príncipe Serrano number 9
he was 17 so I guess orange juice it is
There is little known about why Not his piece was written, but many authors speculate it was designed to test new organs. Wind volume and pressure, each voice individually with call and response, chromatic runs through each key...
@@adam207321 Drinking ages in Europe tend to be lower than in the US,
and laws pertaining thereto are more recent. In Bach's time, everything
to do with the consumption of alcohol was somewhat discretionary.
Now do "Pipe Organ in very inappropriate places"!
I wanna see him play that big one in the shower
@@AshWont time to set off the fire alarm 😂
Lol. That's hilarious. Very good sir.
Macy's Philadelphia... or the old Union Station in Cincinnati...
Please convince John to make his own channel and make more of these! I would LOVE to see more of this beautiful playing! :D
Same. Even if it's just on a regular piano. John is amazing :)
th-cam.com/video/M55Eb11Bro0/w-d-xo.html here's one of his concerts
totally agreee.
Absolutely! 😁
This is metal in its purest
Before metal even exists
Yes it is
Metal has its roots in classic. I used to listen to "heavy classic music" if that's a thing. Like prokofiev dance of the knights
These "metal" coments are the cringest thing I ever read
Jokes aside, this composition does have many techniques used in modern metal.
@@FockeWulfFW200 sorry i just broke my neck from the recoil of cringe your spelling of "coments" gave me
One of the most iconic music pieces in the world
It’s literally blue lobster
ABBA is the most iconic
This video doesn't do this justice! I've heard this piece being played in person a fee times and it never gets old. You quite literally feel the music! It's quite an experience!
Live musicals are felt both in spiritual and physical manner. No matter how good your speakers or headphones are worth, live music is irreplaceable.
Once got invited into a tribal folkloric band. The drums, bagpipes, zithers and powerful voices... it was something.
@@Home_Rich I haven’t heard it a musical but at an organ concert. It is an amazing experience indeed.
Even as a kid I loved this piece, before I even knew who composed it, always referred to it as the Dracula music.
@@sovietonion72I just posted about Dracula too. I wondered if anyone out here had similar memories 🙌
Гениально@@Home_Rich
...and I'll be _BACH_ next week!
*(crowd booing)*
I’m tired of LISZTening to these stupid puns
dude
😂
😂😂😂
I like the way he Handel this piece.....
I'm in awe! His attitude and enthusiasm when playing only emphasizes the performance!
So utterly metal it’s crazy. Bach was a titan.
One of my first classical music loves. Ever since I was a boy I wanted to play the organ at my church.
Its crazy how deep the bass reaches
I too would like to have heard John play the fugue but I'm not going to rant about it. I enjoyed the performance for what it was and I'm thankful to Rob for uploading it. If you want to hear the full piece in all its glory there are other performances of it on TH-cam.
Yeah, this performance is definitely not the best.
@@Altroante yeah my personal favorite that I've listened to us Xaver Varnus at the Berliner dome
Perhaps he's, literally, playing for the lowest common denominator? This is you tube, not Carnegie Hall. ✌😸
I love this piece. It's one of the few things I can play a bit of on keyboard/piano, but nowhere near as well as it is here. My favourite part is the section where the left hand is just playing the A between each note the right hand plays.
This techique is used in so many modern songs... good to know where the inspiration comes from :p
I think its called pedalling , im not entirely sure though
Guys please please get it into your thick colonialist skull, it's Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Si
Goosebumps every single time i listen to that!
Did he also play the Fugue? The whole piece is really "Toccata and Fugue in D minor". I personally think the Fugue, although not quite as loud, is even more impressive than the Toccata.
Indeed ...
Although the Toccata is perhaps the most famous 'half', for me the real challenge is a smooth tranisition to the Fugue, and then the Fugue itself, which I consider the more challenging of the two 'parts' ...
There is a video of Karl Richter playing the entire piece, and you can just about see he exerts that little bit more effort into the Fugue, even though Richter himself, quite aside from being an amazing conductor, could have easily made a career just from playing the organ alone, which goes to show just how incredible the Fugue actually is ...
The ending of the fugue when I play it is typically louder than the toccata
Yep
its great to get to hear the piece in the proper instrument
Absolutely Amazing.
Absolutely magnificent
I'm so glad you put this clip out Rob. I was wishing for it when I watched the previous video
Loved the full video!!!! The pipe organ is such a marvelous instrument!!!!
Thank you for uploading this, it is really something else to hear this peice performed live like this
Superb rendition of this famous piece!
One of my favorite pieces.
One of the most beautiful classical piece, played on a beautiful instrument...
It sounds so incredible ! Thank you ! And thank to John Sherer ! The video on the Pipe organ was also great !
One of my favorite pieces of music.
Absolutely love that. Thanks for sharing 👍♥️♥️♥️
What a sound! Amazing recording and acoustics!
Amazing sound
Inspiring playing, and a great
organ! Thank you!! ❤
This piece is SO DRAMATIC
Lovely organ music.
Beautiful.
Fantastic! Bravo! Top, top, top.
MARAVILHOSO
outstanding!
I actually clapped at the end! Wow...absolute mastery. If I had but one tenth of one percent of his musical knowledge, I could be my own star. Outstanding. 💙
Quite the core workout. Awesome.
Maravilhoso e complexo tocar um órgão. Bonito demais, parabéns.
Bravo!
ive had the pleasure of playing an organ and its so fun yet so tricky. i recommend that if you get the chance to play this amazing instrument, take it.
Thank you so much for this! I show this to my elementary music students and having the little bio information at the beginning and all the camera angles - especially with the foot pedals - is wonderful! Please consider another video that has the Fugue.
Outstanding.
Es increíble!!! Hay que tener mucha concentración para tocar esta obra maestra. Fue una grandiosa composición en su día y sigue siendo lo hoy.
Awesome Stunning Amazing 👍👍👍
I remember doing an "Interview" for being a child chorister in Beverly east Yorkshire and have loved the sound of the organ ever since. Grace cathedral also has lovely acoustics.
Imagine the people’s faces as they were walking by and heard this😂
It sounds Like Halloween music
Agreed, he played it in a shit like manner and not as written.
@@SirReginaldBlomfield1234true but it was just a demonstration
I love this song
Bravo! Bravoo!
Wow soo cool!
I really enjoyed this.
Magistral. 🙏
Wonderful.

Fantastico brano!
I love Bach so much. One of my favorite composers, next to Chopin and Beethoven.
Conlan McGuff Wtf ? Bach is much better than any other composer
@@orgelfan1675 I am glad that you like his work as well, although I must remind you that I am entitled to my own opinion, too.
@@Nibiru_Truthsnej
Thank you!
Just when it's about to kick in and get fast he stops!!
I love his cool dancing!! 😉
