Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) Toccata et fugue en ré mineur BWV 565 pour orgue Arrangement de Bruce Fox-Lefriche en la mineur pour violon seul Marie-Astrid Hulot, violon
There are those who say that this piece was not written by Bach, but by one of his students, and that it was written as a violin exercise. In any event, the Dm fugue is my favorite piece of music and she makes it look so easy that it nearly brought tears to my eyes.
@@Narragorth Yes, I am familiar with that theory. Actually, it goes farther than that and posits that the piece was written by one of Bach's students as a practice exercise for violin.
@@fearlessfosdick160 yea, but I can definitely hear "Bach" when it's played on violin. And there is a big difference between "vibe" (not just style) of Bach and his sons, for example, I can hear it. Similar here, I can hear some passages that are similar to other Bach's violin works. So I don't think that it could be written by Bach's student or son's. But, it's only my experience. Btw organ version is definitely written by Bach's student or son's and I can hear it too
@@Narragorth I am not saying that it is not written in Bach's style, of course it is. The truth is that I am not even sure that I buy into the theory. I am just stating what I read about it.
This is an amazing performance. In my opinion - much better than Vengerov's or Krylov's (both using the arrangement by Bruce Fox-Lefriche). The technique is impeccable, without putting too much "violinist ego" into the interpretation, keeping the performance clean, clear, letting the music speak for itself. Bravo !
Epoustouflant !!! Une telle maîtrise de l'instrument, mêlant tout à la fois virtuosité, légèreté, profondeur, force, délicatesse, harmonie, beauté, sentimentalité... est vraiment quelque chose d'exceptionnel, surtout concernant une œuvre si difficile à interpréter au violon.
Quelle intelligence de jeu..!! Conduite limpide, lumineuse : merveilleux...! Souvenurs émus : entendu cette magnifique violoniste lorsqu'enfant elle étudiait dans le conservatoire ou moi-même enseignait le violon. Le talent de M.-A. Hulot n'avait échappé à personne... Félicitations aux professeurs qui auront permis le plein épanouissement de cette artiste. Merci pour le partage.!
I bet she said 'wheew thank God' in her mind when she finished performing this piece. No mistakes, screeches. Everything was clear, great intonation, great timing. Bravo 👏 👏 👏
He pulls the strings in my heart ❤️ brings feelings forth into the Light. When addressing the harpsichord on a couple of CD's I have...he can tune me right up. Yep...Good Medicine!
Je n'ai pas de mot pour une telle interprétation... Bach renaît de ses cendres à travers ces notes ... merci Madame, quelle émotion m'avez vous transmis !!
Been collecting as many versions of this on as many different instruments as possible. This goes towards the head of the line. Outstanding performance.
Cette interprétation me touche au plus profond de l'âme. C'est extraordinaire, ce jeu, cette délicatesse... Une sonorité d'instrument au service d'une interprète de talent.
This piece was probably initially written for the violin and then adapted to the organ so that explains why it fits perfectly with the violin ! Lovely interpretation 😍
idk i think the piano sounds great due to it allowing more notes WITHOUT the heavy overlay that organs give. as long as the piece has a call and response feel i love most interpretations. but sadly its frequently butched (to my ears) when the musicians just run through the notes. its a piece that has an acquired taste due to so many movements that overlap. (i am by no means a musical elitist but the call and response sounds so awesome that ANY OTHER Iteration just is horrendous, even worse so when the organ has no natural fall off (like the paino does) so that the notes just sound raucous. again that me speaking ill of both the composer and the player.. such a taboo i know. but thats my take. so yeah i love/ hate this piece depending on who and how its played. and she truly did this piece justice. trust me cuz i can play this song 7 times in a row just to compare and contrast different instuments and arrangements (solo, duo, small group full symphony, piano, violin, harp, horn quartet, and so on) at this rate I will listen to this piece just to compare its nuance. (all 8-ish minutes for 4-5 iterations, not including repeats, lol) again im not a music professional just a music lover.
Это бесподобно и восхитительно! Всегда эталоном игры на скрипке для меня был Ицхак Перлман. Но после этого будоражащего сознание исполнения, остаётся громко и в стиле maestoso вскрикнуть Браво!!!
Bien sûr je like cette impressionnante prestation transcription. Un bémol de ma part jouant cette toccata et fugue moi-même sur orgue .Il me semble qu'il faille respecter la tonalité de ré mineur Hors il ya dans cette prestation quelques audaces en Majeur qui à mon avis n'ont pas leur place .Toute l'œuvre doit en principe rester en mode mineur . Sinon un grand bravo tout de même et forcément like. Jean-Robert Dray Autodidacte Auteur Compositeur Interprète youtube.com/@JRDRAY007
Fantástica... brillante... increíble... magistral... magnífica... los mejores calificativos al fin para esta sublime interpretación. Infinitas gracias por compartirla. ¡FELICITACIONES!🌝⚘
Il est clair que ce morceau a originalement été écrit pour le violon et retranscrit pour l'orgue. Il n'est pas sûr qu'il ait été composé par Bach et il a nettement un style du Sud de l'Allemagne, voire même de l'Italie. Une fois au violon on entend plus de lien avec Buxtehude. Le mystère de son origine en fait quelque chose de précieux. Bravo pour cette magnifique interprétation, largement supérieure à tout ce qu'on peut entendre d'autre.
This goes straight to the top of my favorite violin performances. I discovered this video about 2 weeks ago and must have listened to it at least 30 times so far. Bravo, Maestra!
By the way, I have a minor shoulder injury this week and can’t play, so today I asked my violin teacher to spend my weekly lesson by watching your video twice and analyze everything and anything I can learn from your amazing technique. So thank you also for making such an excellent pedagogical video that shows the details your playing so well for fellow violin students.
Meravigliosa Marie-astrid,bellissima interpretazione,note pulite,Grazie di avercela suonata,io sono al quinto anno di violino e un giorno piacerebbe eseguirla👏🌹🌠
Quelle matrîse de l'instrument ! J''écoute votre performance quotidiennement et je ne m'en lasse jamais Vous êtes un modèle de son pour moi ! Merci 1000 fois !
I agree with Patrice Avazeri. This transcription is just ...beyond. I have not heard it before. It could be one of the "partitas" and in many ways it is - but just 2 movements. The execution is flawless. I am speechless! The number of instruments for which this piece has been transcribed is remarkable!
Marie-Astrid what a gift and mastery to give us this rendition. Strenght and Beauty cultivated with time and passion. Bach is honored. Thanks. Happy new year.
mi è piaciuta questa esibizione. L'artista ha reso tutto così facile, chiaro e meraviglioso, come si addice a Bach. Rimasi incantato, tanta sensibilità, tecnica così perfetta, come se l'avesse suonata Dio in persona😘
What a talent! This is the very first piece of music I listen to as the New Year just begins. I am happy to have come across your video by chance. This was totally unexpected. Bravo! Je vous souhaite une belle et heureuse année 2023!
WOW!!! Amazing! Of course I love the organ performances, but this performance is out of this world. The video perspective is fantastic too. I love watching her transitions back and forth on the runs up and down the scales in this classic piece… thank you for sharing this amazing performance.
I listen to this performance once every two to three days. And while Bach is amazing, I really come back because I so much appreciate the performance itself.
best rendition ever performed by a violin player
Agreed!
She plays this piece so effortlessly and beautifully, that it sounds like it was originally written for violon.

Great comment, thanks! 🎻
讓音樂自己說話，多麼了不起的一個評論！巴哈的音樂在單純的基礎上進行多樣的變化，使得他的作品的內容豐富而燦爛！我也想試著拉拉看這首曲子。
I've heard Krylov whis Tokkata d- moll at really!
krylov's is the best, ego or not, his is very emotive

Very impressive execution and arrangement of the piece! The dynamics during the fugue section were some of the BEST I've heard!
Vraiment remarquable cette transcription pour une violoniste absolument étonnante 🎉❤
She plays this just so exceptionally well!
Wonderful... No words to describe Bach's Master-Piece... and... the Violinist Performance!!!
Quelle intelligence de jeu..!!
Conduite limpide, lumineuse : merveilleux...!
Souvenurs émus : entendu cette magnifique violoniste lorsqu'enfant elle étudiait dans le conservatoire ou moi-même enseignait le violon.
Le talent de M.-A. Hulot n'avait échappé à personne...
Félicitations aux professeurs qui auront permis le plein épanouissement de cette artiste.
Merci pour le partage.!
Beautiful, there is no other word. Perfect to my ears with over 60 years of playing and listening.
So clean, such round sound and perfect speech!! Great job Maestra!
Yes exactly what I think: So beautiful tone and clean intonation!
I bet she said 'wheew thank God' in her mind when she finished performing this piece. No mistakes, screeches. Everything was clear, great intonation, great timing. Bravo 👏 👏 👏
Thanks for herself: *she* played!
@@domsau2 whatever
why, every time I listen to toccata, played by any instrument, tears come to my eyes?💗💗💗
🎼💙🎵☯️🎶💙
That is what Bach is all about.
Oh tears
Oh joy!
Oh tears
of joy!
He pulls the strings in my heart ❤️ brings feelings forth into the Light. When addressing the harpsichord on a couple of CD's I have...he can tune me right up. Yep...Good Medicine!
It is obvious... Because you, too, know great music when you hear it.
Quelle maîtrise de l’instrument 😨!! Interprétation magistrale . 😳🤗 bravo 🎵🎶
Je n'ai pas de mot pour une telle interprétation... Bach renaît de ses cendres à travers ces notes ... merci Madame, quelle émotion m'avez vous transmis !!
Your hard work has really paid off young lady this is perfection to my ears! Bravo!! Love the dress too!🙏🙏🙏
Been collecting as many versions of this on as many different instruments as possible. This goes towards the head of the line. Outstanding performance.
What unusual instruments are there recordings of?
@@M_SC the melodica
Absolutely brilliant. Would love to hear this live.
OmG ! That’s amazing !! Wow! You can hear different voices as if they were different instruments. Those right hand techniques blow my mind. ❤️
Bravo!!! **standing ovation as tears roll down my cheeks** ♥♥♥
I am so obsessed with this performance. I come back here all the time. It's just perfect in every aspect.
