this kid's smile at the 2:18 minute mark is priceless- how can one not feel delight at the joyous outbreak of harmony at this point in this fugue? awesome performance!
I think this is the clearest version I've ever heard on a pipe organ. The bass lines are not grumbly and the middle lines are distinct. Oh so often organ pieces are muddy.
@@ncard00I could not disagree more. The Fugue in G Minor was the gateway composition to my appreciation and enjoyment of Bach. My seventh grade music teacher played it and the doors of musical opened. Even adter fifty years it has not grown stale for me.
Besides all the amazing talent displayed here, if you've ever played a keyboard instrument, you just have to appreciate how Charlie holds his posture throughout the piece. Five minutes at my keyboard and I'm already looking like it's Glenn Gould sitting there instead.
So true! He has beautiful posture even though the organ design isn't helping in that matter. For modern people (at least for male at average size) the pedalboard would probably need to go deeper into the organ for relaxing and healthy posture. I myself is trying to correct my posture which I found out was terrible after I video recorded myself playing the other day. :(
My Great Uncle Robert built and repaired these instruments. He installed one in the cellar of his home on Lake Michigan. They, these organs, in the hands of somone like this, command such majesty and elegance.
As a keyboard musician I LOVE this! Magnificent performance. Charlie is extremely talented and will go far in music performance. What a beautiful young man. I wish him and his family the best. God Bless.
My roommate in academy played this and the many times he practiced, I sneaked into the pipe loft and just sat as he played, surrounded by the pipes. An experience I will never forget and one that cannot be described. You play at a very pleasant pace! I have heard more experienced players (strictly by age) play it as if they were just trying to show off that they CAN go faster. Just a garble of notes. Perhaps a good way to practice, but not for a performance that can be appreciated! Great job!
Whenever I see an old fart thinking he was more special than today's youth I feel that all the hope is lost. At least while they're still generating CO2 with humanity's O2.

Bravo!! What a wonderful sounding instrument. A clear and clean performance, that I never get tired of listening to. Fugues are deceptively difficult to play well. And it’s great to see Charlie smiling and enjoying himself!
Okay, this is best performance and tempo I’ve seen yet. Not too fast, it was clean and crisp. Bravo. Thank you for holding the notes long at the finish. So many others truncate them short.
This is by far my favorite recording of this fugue. I've listened to it more times than I can count. The registration, tempo, and articulations are all impeccable in my opinion. Every time I listen to it, I am fully engulfed in the music.
@@georgesbegon4252, maybe i understand the problem. peut-être vous pourriez être consolé par celà que le mot anglais ne veut pas dire autre chose que réalisation ou représentation, exécution.
That piece of music was written sometime in the 1700s, some 300 years later, we have a young man playing it. Thank you for being in the world @Charlie Brusquini. You have a talent that adds to it. Long may you play and contribute happiness and creativity.
This is the composition that kindled my love of music in 1978. It was on an 8-track that came as a demo with my dad's new car. I remember that it was played by Virgil Fox. I fell in love and wore the tape out. Before that I had been ambivalent towards most music. I enjoyed it but it certain was not a passion. After hearing this one, I have yearned for more ever since. God has given me a great love of music. Sadly I was not given any talent.
8-track tapes! My dad had one of classical music that we kids all loved--it had On the Trail from the Grand Canyon Suite and the Ritual Fire Dance, among others. I would LOVE to have that album now.
check out the E. Power Biggs performance of this. that's who was playing this fugue on a cassette i similarly wore out from playing in my car. i don't know man, if you have a great love of music and this fugue is what makes you feel good, you probably have an ear/eye/sense of good things. you probably have some creative talent inside you. this fugue makes me wanna find mine.
@@misterchrissy I wore out the 8 Track with the Virgil Fox performance that started it all but it was E Power Biggs on cassette that I wore out when I bought the Schirmer edition of the sheet music and tried to learn to play it. I was partly successful. One of the problems I faced was brain surgery 1979 in which the corpus callosum was severed. As a result, coordinating the right and left hands was very difficult. I used the Biggs performance as my model and wore out several tapes and 2 of Panasonic's version of the "Walkman".
Without question, this is now my favorite rendition of Bach's "Little" Fugue in G Minor! In my opinion, the registration, tempo, and articulation are all perfect! Listening to this has raised my spirits in these troubling times. Thank you Mr. Brusquini for sharing your talent with the world.
Wow Charlie, if the great cantor of Leipzig were standing behind you in his wig he would have congratulated you heartily for this wonderful rendition.. And such a young guy as well.
You certainly know how to play Bach correctly. Your tempo was spot on. Far too many organists play Bach far too fast. You don’t and I heard every single note, neither did you over registrate by using loads of high pitched mixtures. Well done.
A beautiful piece of music that is so excellently interperated by this sweet boy. I like this somewhat slower tempo, this unagitated way of playing the music. All this combined with the very nice ceniastic photography in this modest but very beautiful church. I think the simple church and the natural way of presenting the music goes together. The whole thing is crowned by the fun of this music, which puts a slight smile on his face in 2:18.
I heard a recording of this fugue for the first time in junior high school in the early 70s. I've been in love with it for nearly 50 years. Just magnificent.
As a huge fan of those organ geniuses Gillian Weir and Peter Hurford, I have to say my attention was siezed by this young man's vitality and evident enjoyment. Talk about Heads Hands & Feet, this is amazing!
I heard lot of version of this music with an eternal insatisfaction. But YOUR style is literally perfect ! Keep doing music ! I would like hear you playing BWV564
Einfach nur wunderschön. Ich mag dieses Stück sehr gern. Generell höre ich Bach oft und genieße seine Musik. Der Organist hat wirklich gut gespielt. Es gibt mMn keinen besseren Ort, dieses Stück zu spielen, als in der Kirche. Wenn ich eines Tages sterbe, will ich, dass man zur Beerdigung ein Stück von Bach spielt.
@@SpectrumLaunchpad A loose translation would be: "Simply (only) beautiful. I like this piece quite a lot. Generally, I listen to Bach often and enjoy his music. The organist has truly performed/played well. There is no better place to play this piece other than a church. When I pass away one day, I would like to have a piece of Bach played ar my funeral." I did this by heart and without a translator, correct me if I made a mistake. I also tried to keep the same sentence structure so you can recognise parts of the original post. Also, I'm reading this with a German accent I can't- ahhaha
Magnificently interpreted and played - wonderful how the pedal voice was so clear. Played with such mastery and conviction. Utterly superb...please record more and also on this organ!
The reason why this is played so smoothly and naturally is because Charlie's finger technique is well executed. As an organ and piano player myself I notice how he uses different parts of the finger to hit the notes which allows him to quickly change their position.
The moment at 00:53 when the bass-part enters with the feet-keyboard is as if the entire fuge is being landed on the floor of the church. Thanks for sharing this piece by Bach.
This was the first pipe organ music I ever heard in a music class in the 70s. I fell in love with this piece and it's still my favorite. Thank you for a beautiful performance!
This magnificent work is now stuck in my ears. I was following the counter melody sequences until the foot pedals kicked in, then the magic of the sonority swept me away. I'm sure Bach had a quantum computer for a brain.
I loved how he smiled at one point, because his mind had transcended to a place of pure elation and joy at the satisfaction of performing the piece well and enlightened by it’s beautiful complexity.
I used to think the people who do busking with the giant piano keys, and they dance / play some Yann Tiersen, and one person does the high notes, and another does the high notes… those guys were really impressive. But here’s someone dancing the very low note, and each hand is doing different parts of the melody, and it’s just one dude. You, sir, have raised my bar for what constitutes impressive skill.
I couldn’t do better than endorse what everyone else has said. Charlie you’re very talented , obviously work very hard and have done so for a long time, and you make a lot of people very happy . I often wonder what Bach was like in his early twenties and in you I now have a pretty good idea . With grateful thanks in these very troubled times. From Perth, Western Australia .
John Bogle Very true, and beautifully expressed, John. I posted something just as adoring, and I know it sounded floral, but his playing is actually hard not to describe without ravishing compliments. I so regret not having that confidence-or discipline? Or talent? at his or any age. His skill and musicianship and imp-grin are irresistible.
Yes , Danger Russ, of course, but I was thinking of Bach’s physical presence , demeanour and attack rather than his titanic intellect which is absolutely unique. I’m just curious about the physical presence of JSB and it’s affect on those around him. It must have been pretty awe inspiring although those in the know would be aware of his compositional abilities . Have you checked out John Eliot Gardiner ‘Music in the Castle of Heaven’ ? Gives such a brilliant insight into the great man .
And one more thing , true when this video was taken: Charlie keeps such a good posture throughout the entire piece. Only one other person I can think of is as good, which is Yuja Wang : such a great - no, astonishing- pianist.
Charlie always seems to get great "joy" at what his eyes see in the notes and when directed to the manuals.... the organs output is joyous and satisfying to him..... and me and all that hear! His joy is probably on Bach's level and that could be fruitful for the future
Gabriel Tozarin Too bad he changed the articulation of the Subject during that smile completely, its completely different than the first articulations he used.
I can't stop listening to this performance. Superb, powerfull and delicate at the same time. superior skilled organ player. I am deeply, deeply impressed!
The time we are living, allows us to see the decomposition of the minds of young people as well as young people with extraordinary talents. Congratulations!
