Imagine to have such a mind of Bach or Beethoven and being surrounded by countless melodies. One more beautiful than the other and you only have a pen and paper to write it down. Some go mad on this. So Bachs great achievement was to stay sane with his immense genius and providing us these melodies through the endless amount of effort to organize the fragments bringing them together and writing it down as complete work.
No one knows how Bach comes up with these melodies and structures that sound like they're out of this universe , he's simply the greatest to ever exist .
In the late 80s as a teenager who only listened to rock music,I was a member of one of those music cd clubs.While looking through the catalog one day,I saw a picture of Ton Koopman plays Bach Vol 2 with that amazing 1750 Gabler organ on the CD cover. I thought it looked cool and ordered it. From the first notes of the first work I was an instant fan of Bach,Koopman,and Baroque music.Thanks to this man for changing everything I love about music. All these years later I still try and find any recordings of Baroque organ works,and love hearing how the same organ can sound so different from one organist to another. Amazing artist, and I'm so glad to see him perform here.
Loving to see Ton Koopman featured here in these Netherlands Bach Society videos! Things have come full circle for Bach youtube enjoyers over the years.
All of Bach/NBS + Ton Koopman = WOW!!! Never thought we'd see Ton Koopman join the project. What a pleasant surprise and what a great rendition and performance. Ton Koopman is one of my favourite performers on the organ.
No one less than Ton Koopman brought Bach into my life. His recordings of Bach's organ and vocal works were true revelations and as refreshing as spring. Now that I hear him play this magnificent Prelude and Fugue so clear and radiant is like opening the curtains in the morning and all the light of the sun falls into my troubled soul. Thank you, NBS, for this tribute to a true and unforgettable Bach interpreter!
Per me, grande estimatore della musica bachiana, Egli è il massimo interprete vivente della stessa,il più grande, dopo il Maestro dei Maestri, Bach stesso.
Vielen Dank, Ton Koopman, für diese wunderbare Interpretation! Es war uns eine Ehre, diese herrliche Einspielung sponsern zu dürfen. All of Bach ist ein grandioses Projekt - herzlichen Dank an das gesamte Team! Edgar v. Hinüber, St. Ingbert / DE
What a nice surprise to see Mr. Koopman in NBS. And surprisingly i was searching this music on youtube then i discovered this recording was delivered a few hours ago. Great!!!!
Oh my God . . . Let me be one with this . . . I worked as an organist and no other composer ever came close to take over my soul and heart like Bach, take over my whole being and while I'm crying think, no beg, pray, "Please take me with you! Take me away from this ugly and greedy and cruel world and let me for ever be a part if this . . .'
I literally cannot wait to comment so I had to stop the video! (I know its a shame..) I’m so glad to see Mr. Koopman again!! And what a brilliant, what a magnificent performance as always.. And all those different camera angles are so good! Oh what a way to start a day.. its gonna be a glorious day.. Thanks a lot!
Das ist ganz toll, der Orgelmeister der modernen Zeiten endlich ist wieder da, es war zu erwarten! Dankeschön Netherlands Bach Society für es aufzunehmen und zu teilen!
🎵 when Pierre Hantai was here we knew this day would come... 😉 epic prelude!! ...even though there's mystery surrounding the fugue...... thank you Ton Koopman & NBS 👊 🎵 🙂
What a delight and a privilege to hear professor Ton again, after years of collecting his CDs. I can remember the excitement generated from his early CDs in the early 80s - both cembalo (with other instruments) and orgel. Let’s hope he continues recording for this edition; 548? Someone whom I’d love to meet in this world, but probably won’t be able.
Zonder twijfel het mooiste orgel wat ik ooit heb gehoord en bespeeld. En wat Ton Koopman hier doet is fantatischje blijft mede dankzijhet orgel alle details horen.
DESDE 2005 EU AMO ESSA MÚSICA. Lembranças e abraços do Brasil 💚💛💙 I'm your Brazilian fan since 2007, thank you very much for your hands and thoughts, thank you!!!!
Absolument grandiose magnifique on touche Dieu par la concentration de la prière spirituel c est divin pronfonde gratitude merci pour ce moment inoubliable remerciant infini pronfonde gratitude merci ❤❤❤
His first recording of this same work at the Gabler organ of Weingarten also holds up admirably in comparison to this performance incorporating many years of illustrious career since.
Wunderschöne und tiefempfundene Aufführung dieses perfekt komponierten Meisterwerks im idealen Tempo mit durchsichtigen doch etwas warmherzigen Tönen der historischen und ausgezeichneten Orgel. Die Fuge klingt besonders schön und auch himmlisch. Wahrlich intelligenter und unvergleichlicher Organist!
Нет слов. Потрясное произведение в исполнении прекрасного органиста.....Божественно звучит орган. При звучании подобных произведений я становлюсь сентиментальным.........это просто божественный инструмент и произведение.....Спасибо......
Agree - mostly! Of course, Van Doeselaar is no slouch. His recordings of 538 and 542 are top of mind for me. th-cam.com/video/gQMUTuNfBww/w-d-xo.html , th-cam.com/video/tgDE3klkmtQ/w-d-xo.html
@@BurkPrael Of course, they are equally genius interpretors but having someone who has done some of the only organ recordings that I like outside of NBS, be in NBS is definitely something to get excited about!
There's another video of Koopman talking about the organ that he's playing on. Bach played a part in the building of the organ. This is such great content!
Such perfect interpretation!!! Quite surprised to see Maestro Koopman using the Novello edition. These days people seem to hate the Novello scores but, apart from the insane registration suggestions (e.g. full Swell, box closed..for Bach?!!!) , I think they've a great layout.
Prachtig spel van Ton Koopman en hier mag het tempo van mij zelfs nog iets sneller zowel in preludium als de fuga, evenwel,... dit is uiteraard een strikt persoonlijke opvatting. ENGLISH Beautiful playing by Ton Koopman and here the tempo could be even faster in my opinion, both in the prelude and the fugue, however... this is of course a strictly personal opinion.
The rhetorical power of this composition would, in my opinion, have been more powerful if the tempo had been taken slower. Even considering the acoustic conditions. De retorische kracht van deze compositie zou mijns inziens krachtiger geweest, zijn als het tempo minder snel was genomen. Ook al gezien de akoestische omstandigheden.
Van mij zou het ook wel een tandje sneller mogen. Barok muziek wordt op een of andere manier tegenwoordig vaak te langzaam gespeeld. Het is bekend van Bach dat hij van "uptempo" hield.
ah the Bach cultists are at it again. Bach is not a god. in his time he was just a mediocre composer. There are plenty of composers who are equally as good and genius.
0:07 Prelude
5:54 Fugue
Portugal is waiting. Love you guys
It's a dream come true, to see Mr. Koopman on NBS.
And in Naumburg, a very beautiful small town in the middle of nowhere.
😂😂
OMG Koopman in All of Bach! Awesome!!!
A dream becoming true...

Good to see Ton Koopman on his old form, behind the organ!
Giant yet a humble Man, a Master performer in his amazing distinctive manner plays the giant composer.
I've always thought that NBS always seems to find some of the best Bach performers, and having Koopman here certainly reaffirms that.
Here here! That’s why they exist. They want us to hear Bach’s music like he would have heard it.
Wow, this is spot on! Mr. Ton Koopman on NBS playing the 546. Heavy, wonderful, with a substantial gravität. Thank you.
Beautiful. Played as the Recessional at the Funeral (Committal Service) of Queen Elizabeth II 19th September 2022

Oh, wow! I'm in for a treat. A hearty thank you, NBS, and Ton Koopman! Everything you do is appreciated very much.
I never heard this P&F so clearly !!!
It really sounds like a string ensemble, such phrasing and articulations.
Did you just make up this acronym? Exactly what the world was waiting for.

Moin ! Es ist so schön, dass es noch Sponsoren für Musik gibt. Alles gute aus der freien und Hansestadt Hamburg.
This hildebrandt organ sounds so beautiful... I had a organ on my wedding in Maastricht playing Bach, it made it so beautiful...
What a nice surprise to see Mr. Koopman in NBS. And surprisingly i was searching this music on youtube then i discovered this recording was delivered a few hours ago. Great!!!!
Che artista superlativo, unico, fortunati aver conosciuto Koopman in questa nostra vita
From now- THIS is my favourite version of this piece 👌
I'd bet Bach would approve of the magnificent and sublime Ton Koopman!
Today's cameras really are wonderful!
BRAVO ⚘🌹⚘🌹⚘🌹⚘🌹⚘

per un grandissimo interprete di Bach e un indimenticabile ricordo delle sue partecipazioni
Alla esecuzione a MILANO delle cantate ormai alcuni decenni fa.
Das ist ganz toll, der Orgelmeister der modernen Zeiten endlich ist wieder da, es war zu erwarten! Dankeschön Netherlands Bach Society für es aufzunehmen und zu teilen!

Ton Koopman in AllofBach, geweldig! Danke wel voor dit plezier!

By far one of the best recordings of this work that I have ever heard.

@@ssbphotography I love his gabler recording! Very effervescent!
The man. The myth. The legend. Ton Koopman! 🤩🥰🎉
Ton koopman es el mejor organista del mundo.
Insuperable su interpretación de Bach
Loved the keyboard and score angle, thanks for the upload !
Einfach super,wie immer;sein Stiel gefällt mir total;da gibt es nichts auszusetzen!!!
I'm from Russia! Now I'm learning this prelude and fugue on the organ) I was very inspired by Tom Kopman! Thanks for this post!!!
Hermoso..amo los preludios y fugas que hizo Bach..Amo que sigan reproduciendo esas hermosuras..Saludos desde Argentina.

Well good music ,especially JSB is a gift from God.
Grande interpretazione, piena di passione ed energia, come ci dicono essere quelle del Sommo Bach. Grazie Maestro Koopman !
Koopman/Bach!!!!👏👏👏👏🇧🇷
My favorite organist!!
I love Ton!!! Epic prelude and fugue!!!
Heel mooi om mijn leermeester zo prachtig en krachtig te zien spelen op dit indrukwekkende orgel met kort octaaf.
Het orgel heeft géén kort octaaf, want dan zou ook Ds, Fs en Gs ontbreken. In het grt. oct. ontbreekt alleen Cs.
Wow, I learned something! I didn’t know the fugue’s authorship was uncertain. I’ll have to listen very carefully now 😉
His specutacular performance that invigorates my tired mind is beyond description and incomparable
Wunder schön!
Maestro Koopman appears at last.
This is the greatest video on youtube. The greatest Organist with the greatest society for music.

The Mighty Koopman , the best organist in the modern era.
E alla fine anche il grande Ton alla NBS!!! ❤️
Ton Koopman the best organ player on the whole world. When he plays Bach pieces it sounds two times better.
WONDERFUL!

Sempre emozionante
Sounds so sublime.
Wunderbar
SO good ! 👏👏
Fantastic!
Outstanding organ! Zacharias Hildebrandt was a genius. I can't choose between this organ and the Groningen Martinikerk organ by Arp Schnigter.
Such perfect interpretation!!! Quite surprised to see Maestro Koopman using the Novello edition. These days people seem to hate the Novello scores but, apart from the insane registration suggestions (e.g. full Swell, box closed..for Bach?!!!) , I think they've a great layout.
Fascinante!!
Legal, Patricia! USA/FL.
Great Mr. Koopman !!!
Ton knocked it out of the park AGAIN!
Excellent and to see you here is awesome keep it up Koopman.
Not particularly a fan of Koopman, anyway he plays this piece powerfully and masterfully.
Exactly, I'm also not a big fan but he plays this surprisingly well.
heel mooi, je bent mij inspiratie en idol ton koopman.
Glimpses from the other world. Only Bach has seen....
¡¡¡Ha llegado el MAESTRO !!!
Gravitätischer Klang und akkurate Stilistik!
Koopman! Let's go!
Absolutely fantastic!
guardado en favoritos!
Magnifique, merci
BRAVO !
Koopman e Bach são inseparáveis!
maravillosoooooo
Welcome back maestro!
Koopman is a boss.
Bach, Hildebrandt and Koopman; what a trio!

De retorische kracht van deze compositie zou mijns inziens krachtiger geweest, zijn als het tempo minder snel was genomen. Ook al gezien de akoestische omstandigheden.
Misschien is het de leeftijd die meespeelt ;) vergelijkend met de Bach opnames van een jonge Koopman is het stukken kalmer.
Van mij zou het ook wel een tandje sneller mogen. Barok muziek wordt op een of andere manier tegenwoordig vaak te langzaam gespeeld. Het is bekend van Bach dat hij van "uptempo" hield.
Superlative Ton "Tonvs Phantasticvs" Koopman, pure apotheosis.
Wonderful and full of energy. But unfortunate thathe pedal notes are not connected.
It's fascinating, how these old hands can play virtously and fntastic.
Great Ton
As Cioran once wrote "If there is anyone who owes everything to Bach, it is certainly God."
ah the Bach cultists are at it again.
Bach is not a god. in his time he was just a mediocre composer.
There are plenty of composers who are equally as good and genius.
It's interesting, the concert pitch is actually in C#. I would expect the old organs to if anything be down a half step, as per baroque tuning.
Oh, he is the man who plays little fugue well :)
Magnífico
Great! 👏👏👏👏
7:31 to 7:40 my favorite part in the Fugue
Mike Ehrmantrout plays organ?! lol. this is one of my favorite organ pieces ever.
