J.S. Bach : Toccata and Fugue in D minor BWV 565
Liene Andreta Kalnciema playing the great Walcker organ (1883) at Riga Cathedral in Latvia.
Performance recorded live on July 7, 2019.
Assistant: Arnolds Dimants
Video edition: Edmunds Mickus
Three geniuses at work here, Bach, the Organ Builder and the Organist🙏🙏🙏
All three in the category of "Elite".
All providing such beauty, meaning and goodness to our confused, tired old world. Thankyou.
Don’t forget the page turner!
She is a master organist...working in a master piece
Someone invented the camera too...
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👍
Affirmatif.
Actually they are two different things. Both being just as impressive. Most composers lack the technique to actually play what they write. Not saying Bach did. Who knows? It's not like we have any recordings. 🙂
I don't know what he had in mind, how many people are required to play this piece simultaneously.
The pipe organ and Bach are, to me, the most amazing confluence of divergent strains of the human mind.
You're right 🙂
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.
es you are truly a lucky guy to get this unforgettable expaerience.
Das ist nicht von dieser Welt, so schoen ist es!!! Danke fuer diesen Beitrag, Sie sind eine wunderbare Künstlerin!!! 🙏❤️
The World needs more of this
Bach in Bach...that's where it, I'm glad to be back
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!!!
the very same for me to but in canterbury cathederal
Just the perfect place, the accustics must have been amazing
@@dougaldouglas8842 it was absolutely amazing the sound went right through you
@@john5271 True, and all those movements. This is truly a professional
I was working in the UK and happened into the Winchester cathedral on a Sunday afternoon. A few moments later the organist was practicing this and I was alone listening to this wonderful piece.
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…
I don't know where you are but if you ever get the chance to go to the Kelvingrove art gallery and museum in Glasgow's west end where they have a pipe organ recital every day at 1pm (3pm Sundays). The organist is at first floor level and you can view from the balcony from about fifteen feet away, you can even watch the organists feet on a CCTV screen at the same time.
....wie kann ein junger Mensch nur soooo begabt sein? Ich verneige mich vor dieser tollen Leistung und ziehe meinen Hut
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. 🤘
Du talent c'est certain, l'amour de la musique et surtout énormément de travail.
It’s not hard. Just practice four hours a day for ten years and you’ll be ready.
No...takes a lot of practice but Bach is So much fun to play on a pipe organ! He is the Master of masters.
Even Jerry Lee Lewis played where ever he was for 8 hours a day, everyday.
the sheets are a mere orientation and mental note than for reading for here. She knows it essentially from memory. Playing it without any sheets is the next level.
Вечная музыка! Исполнитель и исполнение выше всяких похвал! Очень сильно! Браво! Браво! Браво!
Тоже нравится. Но ещё, есть люди, которые виртуозы.
Chère Madame Liene Andréa. Cette interprétation de la célèbre toccata et fugue Bwv 565 est magnifique. Bravo à vous. Très belle performance. Nulle doute que là haut, notre Maestro Johann Sebastian Bach doit être heureux. 🙏
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 ❤
Гениальная Музыка !! Прекрасное исполнение ! 👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏
Это нечто!
The amount of human ingenuity that went into making the organ and writing this piece of music never ceases to astound me!
did Bach know that this piece, played on this type of organ, would require two people?
@@felixreali7101 that is an excellent question!
Mankind is The Lord Of Creation. God is coming to try and fix things and make them better as fast as He can, but He is quite busy and the Universe is large. Meantime, humans can still do stuff like this.
@@mattsanchez4893 The question is: would Liene be able to play it without help?
PEOPLE LIKE YOU, WHO DONT UNDERSTAND THE CONTEXT, WILL BE EXTINCT. WHAT A RELIEVE!.
Got to be one of the best performances I have ever seen of an organist playing this Toccata and Fugue by J.S.Bach.
Помимо музыки и чудесной исполнительницы, шикарные съёмки! Большое спасибо за то, что можно было всё ее мастерство увидеть!!!
Loved this piece since I first heard it almost 70 years ago.
Dad took me to hear E. Power Biggs presenting an evening of J.S. Bach in Monterrey, in 1960. The performance finished with this magnificent piece. He made that organ thunder, til I thought the building would collapse. Wonderful.
I have heard his great Bach organ work many times, but this is the first time I've gotten to see it performed up close. Liene is a magnificent artist and her performance was masterful! And on such an amazing instrument!
How is this even possible? The eye hand and foot coordination is unreal.
My first week before college, my dorm apartment had an organ. Bored and lonely, I started playing this piece hours a day. I hadn't touched a piano for 6 years and could barely read bass clef. By the time school started the next week, I could get through the A part in some recognizable form. It looks crazy hard, but if you break it down into a bunch of piano warm-up exercises, it's doable. 😊
@@dianachung8173 to me, any way you slice it, it’s impressive. Kudos to you!
@@dianachung8173 Diana, you are a great fellow and a very persistent person. After 6 years without practice, everything is forgotten. But still, years of studying the instrument are not wasted. Somewhere in my head it is stored. I recently had an example. I myself, already in adulthood, never sat down at the instrument. A family friend comes to visit me; she once graduated from a children's music school and studied for 8 years. And in general, she no longer sat down at the instrument. Well, maybe she had episodes where she played the piano, but I never heard. And so she sits down at my piano, looks at my notes and begins to play quite confidently with her right hand. I adapted a little and began to use my left hand. True, she was confused and asked me - is this like the note Salt? In a bass clef. That is, she almost immediately began to remember what took me more than a year to figure out. Greetings from Russia. Sorry for my bad English, I am writing through a translator.
Muscle memory is unreal..music always seems to be something that sticks around after Dementia etc. set in. It's one of humanity's only qualities in my opinion lol
And yet you still need an assistant to play this instrument for which you have to build an entire building. No wonder nobody plays Bach.
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.
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.
Is it? I mean, the guitar seems pretty daunting and challenging, doesn't it?
@@samr.england613 with organ it matters how much you press the keys and the controls and everything is quite complicated, then there's also the foot pedals. I'd say organ is quite a lot harder to learn to even play decently compared to guitar.
@@Idontknow-mf7tx Maybe man, but I'm not a musician so I don't really know, but I've been told I "have an ear" for good music. At any rate, I'm amazed by any prodigy on the keys or the strings, and it seems to me that both playing the organ or piano or the guitar are equally mathematically complex and really infinite in the combinations. I've heard (unknown) guitarists say things like: 'There are no more riffs to create. Every possible riff has already been composed." In my mind, these are uncreative losers just making excuses. Heck, after Zep, Page never came up with any memorable riff. 'Radioactive'? Well, it ain't 'Heartbreaker' riff, is it.
»The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren; And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram; And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon; And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse; And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias; And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa; And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias; And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias; And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias; And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon: And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel; And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor; And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud; And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob; And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations. Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of The Holy Ghost. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of The Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.« (The Gospel of Jesus Christ - Matthew - Chapter 1)
@@samr.england613with the organ you’re essentially using 4 different limbs to play it. Each hand and each foot is doing something separately. Almost like patting your head and rubbing your belly at the same time. An organ is also wayyy harder to just practice on since you’re using an entire building to play. I would definitely say the organ is more difficult to play than a guitar.
I cannot even begin to comprehend the dedication and practice required to attain such a degree of mastery.
...indeed!!
Just happened to click on this.....All I can say is that I am blown away by Liene's incredible talent!! Wow This is the best version that I have ever heard!! To see her playing close up like this is so impressive!! Thanks so much for uploading!!
I must have heard this masterpiece a million times. This is definitely one of the best performances ever.
Karl Richter auf Arp Schnittger Orgel ... ;-)
Bravo! My god. I've never seen anyone play this fast. She does it with ease and precision. The foot pedaling is so cool to watch. This is breathtaking. Bach would be smiling for sure
Ein Meisterwerk welches auf einer traumhaften Orgel einfach grandios gespielt wird.
Who else is fascinated by this performance in 2024? Over ten minutes later and I still have goosebumps!
One of those evenings I guess. started off listening to reggae and ended up here. it's awesome :)
It's stunning... but the fascination comes from the 1980's Dark Castle computer game... :) Still stunning.
I love it!
@@Rich-ll8ceSome ganja could have been helpful.
If I only had one piece of music left to listen to for the rest of my life, this would be it. Stunning performance!
Totally agreed 👍
YESSS!!!
The trick is to choose something longer. ; )
Agree, too. My favorite!
Ооо даа! Я думаю также❤
That organ doesn't only look good, it sounds just as grand and awesome as it looks. The organist is also very good.
The most beautiful and majestic piece ever written.
❤ love this beautiful Toccata &Fuge. Awoesome play.
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.
What if she were ugly? It'd still be great! :)
@@IntiOJ It can't hurt. But the music is what really matters, I think. But yeah, I doubt we'll ever see any super successful ugly or unattractive pop divas out there.
Nothing but magic!!! Liene Andreta Kalnciema is just brilliant, I have never heard her before, but, I am now a instant fan!!!
Latvija
Да, это история. Я просто восхищаюсь этим шедевром. Это просто неописуемо. Я слушал , вернее уши слушают а серце, душа воспринимает . Да, это мало кому дано понять
My God, I can't get enough of listening to this work. And the organist has all the touch
Keep in mind that the action of the keys are much more pronounced than what you see on more "modern" organs. It takes extra concentration to push the keys down just a bit further to get the sound. If you notice on the close ups, there's even a bit of a bounce with the keys when they reset, which will feel different. Each nuance makes a difference. Every organ has it's own personality in aesthetics, action, and sound. Magnificent.
All manuals have Barker levers to lighten the touch. No need to push keys all that hard.
In my city there is a city auditorium that has one of only 4 Model Opus 904 organs in existence. Costs thousands of dollars (USD) to maintain that beautiful piece of musical art. I was in one of the pipe chambers. Some of those pipes were 3 stories tall. I love the old air driven organs. They have a unique character of sound. The organ is an Ernest M. Skinner Opus 904. Over 4,600 pipes and 54 stops. It was commissioned in 1933 by Doctor W.K. Kellogg.
I’ve no doubt that this organ is just part of a very complex mechanism, you can imagine the massive pipe work and associated mechanisms, truly fabulous sound.
@@tonyv8925 Are you in or around Battle Creek? I would love to see (and hear) that organ!
@@tonyv8925 obrigado pela informação, tem algum link a respeito?
In the mid-70's I went into Salisbury Cathedral as I heard someone practicing on the organ. He was so good I applauded and we began speaking. I asked about liking Bach. This was the treat I received!! Never to be forgotten!

J.S. Bach is my man! I like ALL music, rock and roll, soul, Japanese, African I could go on. All humans have there own music. But J.S. Bach! Can't touch that!
Cudownie !!! Można się tym rozkoszować nieustannie. Gratulacje.
I believe that this period of music composition, extending from Bach through to Tchaikovsky is unparalleled. It speaks to something wonderful and united within us.
It definitely paved the way for music...but then somewhere along the way, we took a detour. And now we have ...lyrics of the likes of "twenty one, could you do somethin for me, twenty one could you do somethin for me...21.....yep, we've definitely progressed and evolved for the better!
В це період творили Бортнянський, та сила силенна композиторів від Бога, імена яких намагались викреслити з всесвітньої історії музики
@@alsuth803 Survivorship bias. There has ALWAYS been folk music, popular music, and yes even bad music. There were so many composers working during the 1700-1800s making derivative, bland music; we simply don't know them because so much time has passed and we tend to only preserve the good ones. Of course the other thing to note is that very very few people were able to make music in the way Bach and others did, because even having access to organs/harpsichords/eventually pianos was the domain of the nobility and those whom they patroned.
As is often said Bach was a gift of God and our performer here is one of the angels
@@tz4601 Yes, the test of time.
How is this even possible? The level of talent blows my mind...love this!
A truly magical performance on one of the greatest organs in Europe. Thank you for making it available on youtube.
It's "possible" because she is performing Bach's Tocatta on an organ. :) She is, however, very, very good on the keys! Bach composed his 'Tocatta' as a training piece to school students on the organ/keyboard.
@@miraak8523 I didn't know that. Just curious, what do you mean by he, 'gave it away'?
@@miraak8523 That's very interesting, but, I have to say that it's hard to believe that Bach thought his 'Tocatta' was of no real consequence. I mean, that'd be like Jimmy Page dismissing his Stairway to Heaven composition or Zep's 'Kashmir'.
This was one the most perfect performances on Bach that I've ever heard!
Such beautiful flower!!! the acoustics must be something else in person!! I'm able to perceive it with very small headphones !!! must be an experience to see her perform live in there. 👏👏👏

Imagine connection the artist must feel with the composer and the creator of the organ in a piece of music that transcends all emotion and possible belief.

*I'm just shocked by her performance. I don't understand how you can learn to play this instrument so beautifully. Very cool!!!*
Practice, practice, practice!
She looks like Carrie Fisher in the thumbnail.
Музыка чистоты, жизни, вечности. Исполнительнице брависсимо!
Phenomenal playing! What an absolute treat to see this magnificent organ being played so fantastically. Could listen and watch this for hours as so intrigued by the action of the keys and the footwork and the whole aspect of this sound! Thank you so much for this.
Bravo! Only a handful of people in the world can play this on this level.
This is the most beautiful rendition of this song that I have heard in a very long time. Bach himself would be proud, I imagine.
Song??
Cumbia?? 🤣🤣
Songs have lyrics. This is a "piece", or "work".
who sings?

How can a person move the right and left hand AND the right and left foot, all at the same time, all doing different things, and produce this incredible piece of music? If Ms. Kalnciema and I belong to the same species, we are definitely at the very opposite ends of the spectrum... Bravo Liene!!
Helicopter pilots probably come close.
@@kurtbilinski1723don't be pathetic. There's no comparison
Look at drummer both hands and both feet doing different thing watch John "Bonzo" Bonham play the drums
The Good Lord gives us all an array of talents and it is up to us to discover them and parents to nurture them. Perfect pitch helps...and a home with a grand piano!
I've all on to get one hand to press the numbers on a mobile phone, so I definitely belong at the other end of the spectrum with you.
I looked at it with great curiosity and desire. A wonderful concert program. The musical composition was performed very well. Thanks for the video.
Quelle dextérité et quel talent !... Magnifique ! Merci Madame !
most powerful piece of music ever written! Listening to it being played in a cathedral like this should be on everybody's bucket list!
I did
YES
Completely agree. Would have loved to see it live!
I did at the Strasbourg Cathedral, and yes, is just as magnificent as you may expect it to be.
My Cathedral church claimed this was a secular piece of music and should not be played in a church. ??? !!!!
How on Earth can you play with both hands and feet at the same time...AMAZING!
Three hands and feet. Her assistant got on the pedals at least once, threw switches at the proper times...and flipped the sheet music.
Practice...practice...practice. AND excellent teachers. And most importantly...God's gift of talent.
Easily, if you love the music and identify with it.
It's just like riding a motorcycle. An awful lot nicer to listen too but it's another skill you learn. Just remember not to filter lanes with your pipe organ.
For fun, Bach used to write folk dance pieces that the organist was required to dance the actual steps of the dance on the pedals while playing. Just for fun.
Omnipotent rendition.What more can you say, A fantastic piece by Bach, played on a beautiful Organ (lovely Pipework) by a really great Organist. And as an add on I loved to see the Foot Work.
I'm a heavy metallist, and this is so heavy. Love it! Magnificent music and gorgeous musicant!
Always brings me to to tears hearing a good recital. Being able to see the extraordinary coordination playing four manuals and a pedal board just adds to the wonder.
*UN GENIO notare l'elevatissima velocità esecutiva e la perfezione assoluta delle note in sequenza eseguite anche sovrapponendo le mani, strabiliante esecuzione divina*
I remember our music teacher, Mr Devoti playing this on the church organ. Holy Family, Small Heath, Birmingham. Must have been around 70, 71. He was so talented, I appreciate music to this day because of his passion and influence
To be able to play that well and play on such an instrument must be amazing. I bet if your there you can feel the music go through you.

@@MorrisLess big fan of Rick’s. I think that comment was by Pat Metheny during one of Rick’s interviews.
One of the greatest pieces ever written, and she plays it wonderfully..
Do you know why it was written? Bach's "Tocatta" was composed with the conscious purpose of training novices on the organ/keyboard. [edit. spelling.]
Beautifu.I can't get over this piece amazing lady's talent !
How fortunate our world is to have such beautiful music... and people who protect such a wonderful instrument. But we are most fortunate to have musicians such as her to bring it to ears... and our hearts.
I remember my mom playing this many years ago. I was probably around 10, now 75. I remember listening and in the first minute she opened up that 32'er and what followed, I will never forget. Thank you for bringing back that memory. Side note, My grandfather built organs for Aeolian in the 1930s. Traveled entire east coast. Notables- Dupont, Rockefeller, Ringling.
You are so lucky to be in the moment with Bach, mum and grandfather organ
In the 1940's, my father taught organ builder Jan van den Heuvel (from Wieldrecht, Island of Dordrecht, Netherlands) how to ride a bicycle. By the end of the century, Jan van den Heuvel built some of the most magnificent church organs ever (fi those of the St. Eustache, Paris and the Tonhalle, Zürich). Learning how to ride a bicycle, however, confronted him with almost insurmountable difficulties. My father was the only kid in the entire (be it very small) village who had the patience to get him to master the noble art of riding a bicycle. I guess even geniuses suck at something...
Браво! Браво! Невероятной глубины музыка и столь же талантливое исполнение. Благодарю!💐💐👏👏❤️🙏
Oh my goodness that was fantastic and has given me goosebumps!! This is one of my favourite pieces from Bach.
Браво!! Просто феноменальное умение игры на столь сложном инструменте!! И такое виртуозное исполнение этой композиции!
Just wanted to let you know your playing of the D minor Fugue is likely the best I have ever heard. I spent about 40 years of my line as an organist and choral director so I have some idea of good and bad but your performance was the very best. Keep up the great playing and the presentation of organ music in a time when churches here in the US seem to have forgotten about their organs and organists. I don't play professionally anymore at 83 but have a 3 manual Midi organ in my house. Again great playing, J.S. would be pleased.
May I ask if you created your own midi set-up or purchased a midi console...
@@cassandrasciortino6255 I took an old Conn two manual and added the electronics to convert it to a midi. I also purchased a used manual and wired it up and mounted it above the first two manuals. Also I am using a touch computer screen to select stops and combinations until I figure a way to build a stop panel on each side of the organ. Also recently wire my pedal board (from the Conn) and I am in the process of testing that. I use the free organ software Grandt Organ, and a free organ for a 3M 1P organ based on a large organ in Europe.
@@nicepersonwv361 Thank you very much for your detailed reply! I am not experienced in electronics...but maybe I can find tutorials...otherwise I am looking at a costly console for Hauptwerk...
@@cassandrasciortino6255 Let me go a bit further in my reply. First electronics isn't the issue. You can buy circuit boards that will talk directly with a PC. All you have to is to hook wires from your manuals, pedal board, and maybe stops to these boards and they will work. So the main problem is hooking up the manuals and other to those boards. For example on my Conn the two manuals I had to figure out how to allow each key/note send a signal to the boards. Basically I had to tear the manuals apart and create contacts. The third manual was easier because it came out of a pipe organ and had switches on each note. The pedals also were not wired, just pedals and I had to create switches for them. I did find help to an extent on the web. My stops I have not done because the Conn had about 30 stops and I need close to 50 not even counting the generals or couplers. So I use a PC monitor that has touch on it so I can just touch the displayed stops from the real organ. I select them with my finger or a mouse. I do hope in the future to create a stop board(s) for the organ as a touch screen isn't the same as physically pulling on or pushing off a stop.
@@jaybeckham Thank you so much for your clarification. This helps me enormously. I can visualize what you had to do and it still sounds intimidating especially creating one's own contacts, but perhaps it is not more difficult than rewiring a lamp which I know how to do -- or replacing the motor on my sewing machine was I managed to do also. Above all I need desperately a 32 pedal board since even working on a basic keyboard prepares me enough to play or practice and refine on a wonderful pipe organ I have access to near my home. But the faltering feet and the mystery of the pedal board must be worked out at home...stop boards sound amazing and quite beautiful. Its strange to see laptops and touch screens beside a wood organ that is sure and if it is possible to get the same with stops and thus come closer to playing the pipe organ even better. I am combing ebay for a pedal board--since new they are quite expensive. Your work sounds amazing! Thank you again.
Unglaublich wie Sie spielt. Ich bin völlig begeistert von dieser Darbietung. 👍
One incredible Masterpiece, one of the best interpretations i've ever heard.
Complimenti x la voce che hai , meravigliosa come quella del tuo caro papà, lo stesso timbro ed estensione vocale. Ti auguro tanta fortuna e successo .. lo meriti davvero.❤❤❤❤
This is an absolute masterpiece of artistry and performance. Hearing things like this renew my hope for all that is good and majestic about the human race.
Perfectly written .... thank you so much !!
You are right, absolutely! But why the same wonderful human race kills other people, makes war?
@@janzielinski6443 the passions of Mankind are many. Fear, Greed, Lust and others are all part of the mix. Collectively we all get what we focus on. So the more beautiful, inspiring art like this we can share with the world the more we can grow what is beautiful. Bit by slow bit we continue the climb out of the wild dangerous forest and back to the shining city where we recognize that working together as a community for the common good of all is the path forward to our best future. So Support the Arts!! Share beautiful thoughts! Be kind :) Words I need to keep in the forefront of my mind daily! As it is so very easy to be distracted by all that is going on these days.

Yes, the great arts do show all the possibilities of humanity. Wish that the arts were more accessible (and, unfortunately, more popular) to many more people.
Очень качественное и прочувствованное исполнение на отличном органе- все звуки чисты и хорошо прослушиваются! Браво маэстро у явас великое будущее! Здоровья и долголетия на радость нам!
Wer die Orgel so perfekt beherrscht, kann stolz sein. Grüße aus Berlin.
Congratulations from the bottom of my heart!
L'Organo a Canne è uno strumento difficilissimo...l'artista è bravissima! Toccata e Fuga di J.SD.Bach mi mette i brividi, mi commuove tanto è bella !!!
Beautiful and perfect performing in the hands of an angel. She is outstanding and supreme, owner of the divine spark.
Are you sure? As best I can tell it is in the hands and the feet of an angel.
Was für Vorstellung. Perfekt gespielt mit einer Kichenorgel. Besser geht es nicht mehr.
Я почитал комментарии и у меня больше нет слов, только неописуемый восторг
So beautiful that it makes me cry. Thanks Liene, thanks J.S. Bach.
Тут всё абсолютно превосходно. Произведение. Инструмент. Исполнитель. Просто волшебно.
Magnifique
вы недостойны слушать музыку людей, животные-террористы должны слушать вой на болотах.
Bravo! What a beautiful musical piece played by a lovely musician. ❤❤❤
Played magnificently by an extremely talented organist on a most magnificent organ. It reminds me of the first time I heard this pice played in Birmingham Town Hall UK by Dr. George Thalburn Ball as a lunch time concert. Absolutely fantastic, Thank you Liene Andreta Kalnciema, you took me back almost 60 years and renewed my love of Bach's music.
