J.S.Bach - PASSACAGLIA and FUGUE in C MINOR (BWV 582)

In this video you can hear my rendition of J.S.Bach''s “Passacaglia and fugue in C minor (BWV 582)” played on my Hauptwerk organ. I have chosen to use the sample set of Rotterdam, created by Sonus Paradisi. A Passacaglia or a Ciaconne has been always been one of my favourite kind composition type. It's mostly associated with a musical work of variations usually on a ground bass in moderately slow triple time. Luckily for me the very best of these Passacaglia is the one by J.S.Bach. Written in C minor it is a stern work but also rich and powerful. Robert Schumann described Bach's Passacaglia as "intertwined so ingeniously that one can never cease to be amazed". Bach ends this large work by making a double fugue with the main subject we already heard in the beginning and then a much more fast moving second subject. ____________________________________________________ SUPPORT THE CHANNEL BY BECOMING A MEMBER The most important thing is that the people watching my video enjoy them and hopefully subscribe to my channel.
