Klaas Jan Mulder speelt twee meesterwerken in Zwolle: Orgelmuziek op topniveau

Klaas Jan Mulder – What God Does Is Well Done & Toccata Callaerts Klaas Jan Mulder – What God does is well done & Toccata in E minor (Joseph Callaerts) On the majestic organ of the Grote- or St. Michaelskerk in Zwolle we hear two iconic works: 0:00 – What God Does Is Well Done (choral fantasy, captivating and moving) 04:40 – Toccata in E minor by Joseph Callaerts (virtuoso, stormy and brilliant) The melody of the song “What God does is well done” (German: “Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan”) is originally a chorale melody by Severus Gastorius (1675). Johann Sebastian Bach often used this melody in his cantatas and chorale arrangements. Some well-known examples: Cantata BWV 98 – Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan Cantata BWV 99 – Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan Cantata BWV 100 – Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan Cantata BWV 144 – also has a final chorale with this melody Cantata BWV 12 – in the final chorale Organ chorale BWV 1116 (Neumeister collection) The melody also appears in various choral finales of cantatas, as the song was very popular in Bach's time as a testimony of faith in hardship and trust. 👉 In short: the melody that Klaas Jan Mulder uses in his “Fantasy and Toccata on 'What God does, that is well done'” is the same as the one Bach used in several cantatas (especially BWV 98, 99 and 100) and in the organ chorale BWV 1116. Both pieces showcase Klaas Jan Mulder's unparalleled virtuosity and musicality. The choice of recording, the acoustics of Zwolle's Grote Kerk, and the intensity of his playing make this a unique listening experience.
