      Since Bach sounds so good on this organ, I was wondering if its specifications were modelled closely after those of Bach's Thomaskirche.

    She makes it seem so effortless! She seems so relaxed as her hands and feet dance over the keys as though it were nothing, but I cannot imagine how many thousands of hours of practice it took her to get there, or how many hours she must practice every day to maintain such a level of sublime realization of this incredible music. She is the most marvelous organist I've ever heard.

    Your understanding of Bach’s intention (as I see/hear it) , emotion is unparalleled by any other performance (live or recorded) .
    Bach is alive in You!
    Please , oh please come to NYC as to hear, see and experience Bach at his and your Finest .
    Thank You Maria.

      I totally agree, this young woman is, as you say, phantastic!!! I think I'm right in saying that when JSB was asked to commission a new organ, he chose this because of its wide use of stops, & particularly for the superb pedaling, that M-M demonstrates so admirably. Pity about the persistent coughing, I'm surprised no one clapped between movements.

    I agree with David Perrins - BWV 564 is an outstanding piece especially the toccata, and Maria-Magdalena's voicing brings me out in goosebumps, and often these are accompanied by a tear or two, every time I listen to this recording. Ogromne dzieki za tak piekne nagranie Maria-Magdaleno, i za dzielenie sie z Twoim talentem.

    In my life I will never get tired of hearing she again and again.
    This Masterpice is one of my favourite BACH'S creations,since I was a child sixty years ago, and here is performed by a beautiful angel.

      A part pour quelques partitions comme la Toccata et fugue en ré mineur BWV 538 dite "dorienne" où Bach a indiqué les changements manuels que doit exécuter l'organiste, en général il ne donnait que les notes sur les partitions, libre ensuite à celui qui interprétait la pièce de la faire sonner.
      Quant à sa façon de jouer, nous n'avons que les témoignages de ceux qui l'ont connu à l'époque qui lui reconnaissent tous un incroyable talent d'improvisateur et un excellent niveau technique.
