Bach - BWV 639 Ich ruf zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ (Church of St Andrew and Thomas, Pontevico)

In this video you can hear "Ich ruf zu dir" (BWV 639) from Orgelbüchlein by Johann Sebastian Bach, a famous collection of 46 Chorale Preludes for organ.
The melodies of these Chorale Preludes are not by Bach, they are from the tradition of the Lutheran Church.
The video was recorded in the Abbey Church of Saints Andrew and Thomas Apostles, Pontevico (BS), Luca Raggi at the Mascioni organ.
Good listening!

I'm not a Christian but every time I listen to this magnificent piece something inside me wants to do something else that I'm not doing. I hope I can listen to this live sometime.

Bach never fails. There's never a moment when I think 'Oh Johann, that one wasn't so good.' He is one of the few unchanging, constantly reliable points of beauty in a universe that appears to be spiraling into oblivion.

Undeniably J.S.Bach was a great gift from God to humanity. This amazing piece just one more proof of that. And dear Mr. Luca Raggi - I found your interpretation to be absolutely amazing, probably the best I've ever heard. Bravissimo! Many thanks for sharing!

[blmi]

So wonderful! I've heard it first in Andrey Tarkovski's movie "Solaris". Listening it again and again. Thanks!

When l hear these sounds l begin to feel a small particle of God in my soul.

When I feel miserable and i dont know what to do I always listen to this piece. It calms me down and even when i still feel saddness I have the feeling that everything will be alright.

[paradoxward]

yes.., I admit it. this transports me back to that great film...., Nymphomaniac Volume One. Classic

[johnswimcat]

I wonder what Bach was feeling when he wrote this. I find it very moving

[alexkrouglow]

C’est comme cela que j’ai appris le piano et l’orgue. Si on connaît la partition, on en a plus besoin, ce sont nos sentiments, nos émotions qui nous conduisent à travers l’histoire.

Самое потрясающее исполнение когда-либо услышанное мною.

[shin-i-chikozima]

First of all
inspired by this fabulous performance,
I remember 「Solaris 」of the movie's masterpiece
This masterpiece is full of sorrow, lonely, melancholy and nostalgia and invincible .
