Thats cool and all but i wish he really described more in depth what he was playing. What are the two dom chords played together? A dom seventh and a whole tone then third above it ok above what the root or the seventh or what? I love these sounds n they elude me so

Wonderful energy! Dislike the pedal notes all detached. Sad to rush through the dramatic descending pedale part at 2:30.Wonderful fugue! Nice to begin without the reeds. Dislike the slight pauses for emphasis. Do not disrupt the momentum of the fugue. It’s not a fantasy.

Well, Anthony, dahling, I really think this is quite entertaining. It’s a little different than all the other recordings on lubetube, so there’s that. I like the ornamentation – kinda edgy, and I always like “edgy”. And I kinda like the 32′ reed waddling away on this organ; depending on the organ, I like to use the 32 lots, as well, although I might have let the 32′ reed sit out for a few pages during the toccata. This sounds a little like a collaboration between Virgil Fox, Carlo Curly, and Ton Koopman. And I LOVE all three of those organists. Just a hoot and a half. Thumbs UP!

Fascinating – by turns searching, stormy, meditative, surging, ecstatic. Part Bach, part Stravinsky, part Prokofiev(?) – all Newman, and played as only Anthony Newman can play! Astonishing, as always.

Anthony. Thank you for sharing your gift. You have brought me so much pleasure with your performances. I always thought Bach had a wonderful sense of humor. Within all the beauty, drama, joyfulness and sadness of his compositions there always seemed to be a smile.

Thank you Mr. Newman for this! When I was a teen, I came across a tape of Newman organ pieces, played it constantly, and fell in love with the pipe organ. In my 50’s, I still hear those pieces in my head as I lost the tape long ago. These posts are soooo appreciated by me!

BACH, J.S. Fugue in G major, BWV 577 Anthony Newman, Organ Organ by Steven Russel St Matthews Church Bedford, NY

Your performance is an inspiration to observe and hear, it brings Bach to life, at least IMHO 🙂 Greatly appreciate your “flying tempo” as well. After some scholastic research during a visit to Leipzig several years ago I’ve come to believe your style really is closer to how J.S. Bach more than likely performed and you’ve been prescient in illustrating this for many years. There’s no reason to believe J.S. Bach was constrained in his keyboard technique and probably his only organ performance limitations were finding enough energetic bellows pumpers and registration assistants. The BWV-540 Toccata in F with it’s long sustained pedal note, where else in the 1700s could folks hear music, or any continuous sound at all of such duration? Fascinating on so many levels today in our digital age. Thank you again for sharing this on YouTube. All the best.
