DESCRIPTION:
Representing the Prophet Ezekiel's vision of the Holy Spirit. The sixth movement of 'Livre d'orgue', played on the main organ of the Grote of St. Laurenskerk in Rotterdam (Marcussen, 1973). Recording by Marcel van den Tol.

When I was nineteen old, I was struck by a passage from Forkel's biography on Bach, published in 1802, from which it appeared that the great man achieved a huge expression with very small movements of hands and feet only. Ever since this had been a guideline for my musicianship and now—after more than forty years of practicing—Forkel's observation is the starting point for ”The Art of Playing the Organ". A series of videos will show an approach that is at the same time joyful, healthy, and efficient and may support young musicians with their studies. See www.willemtanke.com
