Bach - Prelude and fugue in C major BWV 545 - Jacobs | Netherlands Bach Society

- The Prelude and fugue in C major, performed by Bart Jacobs for All of Bach, starts off with great self-assurance. With hops, steps and jumps, the pedal goes to a throbbing low C three times, while the right hand builds up a full chord. The equally self-assured fugue is rooted firmly in the key of C major, which is never really called into question.
Recorded for the project All of Bach on September 22nd 2016 at St Bavo's Church, Haarlem. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel bit.ly/2vhCeFB and consider donating bit.ly/2uZuMj5.

Finally an organist who doesn't understand Bach as a finger exercise but as a piece of music that wants to breathe. I play it the same way except for the many ornaments. Thank you very much for your interpretation.
Well said!
that's a good one !
I haven't come across one organist in this outstanding series who understands the music of Bach as a "finger exercise."
My favorite Bach organ piece. Brings tears to my eyes.
Nice
LOVE IT OUR ORGANIST PLAYS IT AT OUR CHURCH
Magnifique!
Please don't cut the audio at the end until the reverberation in the building has subsided. Please!
The video editor must be either musically unappreciative or hard of hearing to have cut the video short like that!
Among the dozen or so AoB videos I've watched so far, none of them includes audience applause. Perhaps someone started clapping or made another loud noise, and they decided that cutting the video short was a better aesthetic choice than including the extramusical sound?
@@jacobdgm Yes, that occurred to me as well after I wrote the comment above.
At the very least, if you must cut off the end like that, do some audio editing. Taper the sound so that it ends in silence. I have done this many times on recordings I've made. Any real audio editor surely can do this.
Y'all's really doth protest o'er much on the 'abrupt' ending. If it was short it was by milliseconds. Hardly worth complaining about. No doubt there was a good reason.
I am a professional violinist and conductor but I grew up listening to Bach's organ works. Horst Gehann was my fathers music teacher in a long forgotten time in Siebenburgen, Romania. The timber and registers of the "king of the instruments" is always in my ears as a guide, especially when I perform Bach's solo works for violin. Thank you for a clean and wonderful performance!
Fabulous, ecstatic performance! Bach takes us up into another world.
Wonderful!!! Congratulations dear Bart! The sound, the conception, the polyphonic clarity, the driving form... Just amazing!
This performer is very good. With the profoundness of the organ and the wonderful performance of the performer, an angel is likely to come down.
You always appreciate a well-played piece twice as much if you’ve learnt it yourself.
Che meraviglia, che ricchezza inestimabile. Avere virtuosi di questo tipo che sanno valutare il genio mistico di Johann Sebastian Bach e riproporlo in modo egregio e brillante! Queste cose non hanno prezzo... Quello che non sanno comprendere tante persone che, anche piene di soldi, rimangono infelici, ignoranti e poverissime.
Voi, che vi impegnate in questo meraviglioso progetto, invece siete dei veri benefattori dell'umanità. Grazie per tanta ricchezza elargita gratuitamente!
Meraviglia allo stato puro
Well, every time I watch (and hear) a video of the NBS I'm unable to hold back tears of joy. Could be this Bach's masterwork or that magnificent organ, the interpretation, the sound or the images, or perhaps all this together, I don't know. Thank you, NBS!
Probably the best organ in the world imho. Was lucky to play it a few years ago for a hour or so.
Haarlem, Netherlands!
Although not one of the hardest Bach prelude and fugue, I think it’s one of the best
I don't know why, but I love so much this. It touches something deep in me.
I love the organ registrations used for this performance. To my ear, this is very clear and precise. Very enjoyable and up-lifting. As always, the video editing is outstanding matching fingers and footwork so expressively; your work is noticed and appreciated.
well said
The articulation and clarity are well done. Not over dramatized trying to make the piece bigger than it is. Excellent.
Magnifico. Ottima interpretazione ed esecuzione. Strumento meraviglioso che rende al massimo le composizioni del maestro cantore. Grazie al vostro lavoro che con queste registrazioni e video colma lacune culturali dei ns. tempi e dei ridicoli teatrini proposti sulle tv.
Thanks for the awesome performances! Also a great resource for us musicians!
Oh Boy! Another treasure from NBS!
Beautiful- love the color of the pipes 🎶
I love this fugue, but first heard in piano translation.....WONDERFUL !!!
I saw him before a concerto at 9.00 in the morning. He started his preparation. I think, he takes his work serious.
I love this! Well played.
Grandioso. Esecuzione stupenda e interpretazione limpida e chiara. Bravissimo. Grazie.
Музыка Баха - Дар Небес! Спасибо за совершенство!
I think sometimes the organs in Netherlands tend to overshadow a few details with the incredibly big sound, which a more refined and simple sound would get trough. Its not really an issue, but its a bit strange to always know what to expect from the sound in a recording, longing for- and enjoying the same parts of the music for simply being an organ from Netherlands. Its also a whole different aspect to hear it live in the same room, and i would probably favor these performances more over others in a live context. To me this fugue was a perfect fit though, and as always just beautifully played by NBS' outstanding organists
en plus de la musique incomparable de Bach, la vidéo est aussi de très bonne qualité et ne se contente pas de fimer le clavier...
Great! Thank you for sharing!
Wonderful!
that was an absolutely brilliant performance of this masterpiece! I recently took up Liszt's piano version of the Fugue -- also amazing.
Wow , pragtig Bart !!
Nice organ, good interpretation.
Complimenti ottima interpretazione.
Bravo!!!
Nice!
Excellent!
What? Bach and so few people in the audience? If I could clone myself, I'd fill all the empty seats to overflowing!
Maybe the folks you see in the pews are only the members of the society; perhaps they decided to have his performance closed to the public. One would then avoid (most of ) the inevitable coughs and sneezes, along with people moving about and children crying. Perhaps I am wrong. I probably am. ;)

Really obscure question, but I came here to check how he plays those annoying ornaments on the prelude’s pedal part, they’re really tricky, especially if you’re not using heels, but he just doesn’t play them. Does anyone know anything about this?
Maybe his is the original score from Bach? I know what you mean though, bc I got the sheet from imslp site, but often they don't offer the original on there. Just some other arrangement. In my personal opinion the ornaments always seemed strange to me. They make thw piece uglier and it feels unnecesary, so I will gladly leave it out.
Some editions don’t have those ornaments, I think. I personally don’t play them-they can get distracting if they aren’t played loudly enough.
Absolut göttlich
2:15 Handel shamelessly lifted this for Messiah.
A good artist copies a great artist steals.
It's sad that the entirety of this incredible project is being uploaded, in 2019, in no better than 1080p...surely at least 60 fps is a minimum?
The free meal was decent, but it is sad mother of pearl spoons were not provided for eating the caviar.
4k video in youtube? Are you crazy ?!
(Btw, the most important thing is the audio quality, not the video)
Alain Bruguieres It is not a free meal. It is an object placed (generously) in a public space. It is not entitlement to desire standards from the craftsman of a park bench, for instance. A community should uphold standards within itself so that its society can have integrity. Your sentiment reflects the liberal bourgeois idea that criticism is immoral. That is a disgusting sentiment. Do you think Japanese society is entitled? They're the most judgemental country I've ever visited, and it opened my eyes that standards for others than one's self is part of living in a beautiful society. Not entitlement. You may as well say that young people are entitled for complaining that boomers gave us a feminist society with a 70% rate of broken homes. Standards equal integrity, and criticism is moral.
Thats total nonsense.
@@skivasjalvmordare7439 And you have time to write so long insipid posts? I don't have time to read them. You know what? Don't watch the videos.
This guy looks like the guy who helped me at the hardware store the other day. Lol.
This sort of crass comment falls under the "I don't care for music, but I'm going to have my say on some banal aspect of the video" label. Pathetic
Taking it a bit too personal maybe? Just laugh at the joke and move on. Or not, no body wants to see comments like these thank you
The pedal part used to give me nightmares
the detached notes in the fugue theme are completely inconvenient and unnatural , the theme is of course the archetype of a theme to be played in linked notes; moreover, playing the whole fugue in plenum is extremely tiring; I would suggest to build the fugue up from mf to fff ; of course, especially in the Netherlands Bach tradition I will be told that this is not historically informed; for me that is not important; the interpreter should make music out of the material with his subjective thoughts and the evolution of technics . Bach who was quite avantgarde would have agreed. Anyway to me it is absolutely uninteresting to guess ( because nobody knows) how the work would have been played by Bach or in 1750
He's playing for clarity in that massive acoustic. He could probably have made it even less legato and the folks in the nave wouldn't have noticed. These All of Bach recordings tend to have pretty close mic placement so they might sound a bit choppy to some but it's not the musician's fault. And it wasn't a matter of performance practice, it was a question of basic musicianship and his experience playing in such acoustics shone through. Bravo.
Some fool wrote against!!
Nice performance. BUT I feel every performance on this channel is over acted. I can see Bach's music affecting someone, but no need to "over act."
@Arsenio Petrus Just hoping they don't get whiplash.
Shut up.
Cette façon systématique de nous montrer du doigt chaque entrée du thème de la fugue est juste insupportable !
