Three geniuses at work here, Bach, the Organ Builder and the Organist🙏🙏🙏

To play it, is one thing, but to write it down on paper, as you hear it in your head, thats something out of this world. Way to go Bach👍

One of the best up close videos of the choreography of the organist’s body in playing this most magnificent of all organ pieces ever written. I hope we continue to have musicians of this talent keep this music, and these great instruments, alive for generations to come…

Was lucky enough to hear this played in an old Detroit church. The whole place vibrated with its power. The last note absorbed by the pews and 100 year old cherry wood. Then a moment of silence followed by an eruption of cheers. Was truly magical. I’m forever grateful that souls like Bach walked the earth.

The World needs more of this

My wife and I had the pleasure of hearing that piece played at the Salisbury Cathedral in England. We were just visiting the grounds, walked in, and that happened. We couldn’t move! It just grabbed and held us there! Unbelievable!!!

Who else is fascinated by this performance in 2024? Over ten minutes later and I still have goosebumps!

My dad was an organist and I was so proud when I watched him play. My brother and I always loved it when he played this. It was just so exciting ❤
-
Mind-blowing!!! How can a brain direct the precise and complicated movements of 10 digits, two hands and two feet while the eyes peer at a densely packed page of musical notes and produce this kind of beauty? I can't personally fathom it, but it is wondrous to behold. 🤘

The amount of human ingenuity that went into making the organ and writing this piece of music never ceases to astound me!

Brava! I am in awe of musicians . My wife plays piano and likes to play Chopin and some etude's and nocturne's bring me to tears. I was in a depression several years ago and as she played, it offered hope that it was not going to last forever and that beauty was still all around. Thank you all who make the world better.

If I only had one piece of music left to listen to for the rest of my life, this would be it. Stunning performance!

A beautiful woman who stands out as an incredible virtuose, playing a very known Bach composition of great complexity on the pipe organ, one of the most difficult musical instruments. She is a fantastic musician , without pair. Congratulations.

The organ is the most difficult instrument to master. Kudos to this lady, who is on another level. Had goosebumps listening all the way. God bless her.

Never tire of this magnificent work. There is no modern music written today that can equal Bach’s genius.
-
Got to be one of the best performances I have ever seen of an organist playing this Toccata and Fugue by J.S.Bach.

How is this even possible? The eye hand and foot coordination is unreal.
