COMMEMORATING BACH - XAVER VARNUS (ORGAN) JÓZSEF BARCZA HORVÁTH (BASS) TAMÁS CZIRJÁK (DRUMS)

Midnight choral improvisation on "Herzlich tut mich verlangen" on Bach's birthday in the Semmelweis Medical University in Budapest. Recorded live in concert. •●The Official Video Site of Concert Organist Xaver Varnus●• Born in Budapest, his first piano teacher was Emma Németh, one of the last pupils of Claude Debussy. Xaver Varnus has played virtually every important organ in the world, including those in Bach's Thomaskirche in Leipzig (2014), Berliner Dom (2013), Notre-Dame (1981), Saint-Sulpice (2006) and Saint-Eustache (1996) in Paris, National Shrine in Washington, D.C. (1985), and Canterbury Cathedral (2004), as well as the largest existing instrument in the world, the Wanamaker Organ in Philadelphia (1985). His Quadruple Platinum Disc winning album From Ravel to Vangelis, released by Sony BMG in 2007, is the best-selling collection of organ recordings ever. "Put simply, Varnus is a monster talent, every bit as stimulating and individual as the late Glenn Gould".

1. Merci pour ce moment musical d'exception...
2. Good improvisation. A peaceful way to spend 17 minutes, listening to this. Didn't expect Mr. Varnus on a Hammond B3 :) It may play quite the same as a pipe organ, but it's a completely different scene. It sounded good anyway!
