Jonesey,

Thank you for posting this marvelous performance. It is truly a great recording. I love the Trio Sonatas and feel this version is as good as it gets. When I hae more time later today I will listen to the other two movements. have always been impressed by anything Kay Johannsen plays.

Thanks for the post, Jonesey.

I had to learn two of the Bach Trio Sonatas during my organ study days ... they sound easy but are a bear to learn at first.

Thanks for posting. Very clear procise playing. Love the sound of the organ. yup thet are a bitch to play at first.

Ah yes the ubiquitous JSB Trio Sonatas. Boy do they demand much fine-tuning of technique - who'd have thought three parts could be so difficult? I've only played two of those trio sonatas, often infuriating to practice, but highly rewarding and a great sense of achievement once everything falls into place.

This is a thoroughly enjoyable performance and I'll be sure to keep an eye (and ear) out for Kay Johannsen. Thanks very much for posting Jonesey.

Thanks Jonesey !!

Trio Sonatas are what they say they are : trio ! = we must separate our minds into 3 parts. I always talkin' about an organist makes the work of three to five musicians. In this case these sonatas can be played by a violin, a viola and a cello.

Mature works of GrandMaster, need mature technique. One can play each part solo easy , but when all three come together.......

Enjoyed the link much.

Now see this one on Trost Organ :

David Heath is an English flautist and composer whose early influences were Miles Davis and John Coltraine. He has composed for artists such as Sir James Galway, Kennedy, Dame Evelyn Glennie and a host of other renowned musicians. Rhapsody of the Spheres from 2008 for solo organ has an otherworldly feel. Unfortunately nwither the organist or location are given, but I found it an enjoyable discovery.

Hi All, Just found this on the tube - fell in love with the piece immediately. Jonesey.

Jonesey-bach - I can't believe I missed this thread of yours. Love Bach's trio sonatas - playing them is like reciting PI, whilst doing highland dancing and counting backwards missing every fifth number.

I can't recall when it was, but I attended a recital given by E. Power Biggs and that evening discovered the music of Ernst Pepping (1901 - 1981). Here is his Chorale Prelude on Komm, Gott Schopfer, heilger geist from his Grosses Orgelbuch III played by Daniel Mau on the IV manual 120 rank Ruffatti organ in the Centennial Chapel at Olivet Nazarene University, Bourbonnais, IL

Lovely video Rob - thanks for sharing. Shame about the woman who gave the intro, such a nasal and unpleasant quality to her voice.

What a great organ - where is it?

[GoneBaroque]

It is the IV manual, 120 rank Ruffatti organ in the Centennial Chapel at Olivet Nazarene University in Bourbonnais, IL The instrument was dedicaed January 28, 2011. This is a kink from the University website to a news item regarding the event http://www.olivet.edu/news/newsDetai...f-b9175d2d62f4

J.S. Bach's Prelude and Fugue in C major, BWV 547, played by Katherine Crosier on the Beckerath organ at the Lutheran Church of Honolulu. Nicknamed the 9/8 because of its unusual time signature, this piece opened the Abendmusiken concert, Bach Pilgrimage VI, held on May 17, 2009.
