Mengelicious Moments

Mengelicious Moments "Mengelicious Moments" is an online music video channel focused around the organ and classical music in general.

It was founded by me, David Boos, and my wife Olga Minkina, and we're driven by the urge to promote great music, as well as great instruments. Listening to an organ live is a special physical experience. It is nigh impossible to recreate this experience in an audio recording, and even if, you'll need a very expensive stereo to experience it. When part of that experience is lost, so is part of the

fascination. While video cannot make up for the loss in audio, it can bring us closer to the instrument, and - in combination with the audio - make us feel as if we are present in that room, looking over the shoulder of the organist while he or she is playing. That way, we believe, we can give people the opportunity to get a glimpse of what it means to be at such an instrument. For all those, that live too far away to visit such an instrument themselves, but also to encourage those that live close enough to come by and experience the instrument first hand. We quickly realized, that this is a new passion for us, to find new ways of sharing organ music with as many people as possible. We're not reinventing the wheel, there are other videos of organs out there, but we strive to reach for the highest standards. We might not have the technical means yet to do so, but we're working on it and we're persistent. We do not compromise when it comes to our artistic integrity, nor do we compromise when it comes to the instrument. But we do believe that the organ and the music belonging to it, has so much quality to offer, that there are plenty of people out there we can reach with our videos. Please SUBSCRIBE to our channel and or newsletter and visit our website http://www.mengeliciousmoments.com to find more background info, articles and other content, as well as an explanation of the word "Mengelicious". We hope you enjoy our videos and wish you plenty of "Mengelicious Moments" while doing so!

Da ist es dann. "Kommst Du nun, Jesu, vom Himmel herunter" in der Oude Kerk 2009, vor der Restaurierung. So wie damals dort, hab ich es danach wohl nicht mehr hingekriegt. Viele Erinnerungen werden wach an lange Nächte in der Oude Kerk. Nach einer langen Periode der Distanzierung von jener Zeit, spüre ich nun wieder eine leichte Nostalgie, oder zumindest einen Frieden damit, wie das Leben so geht. Es war nicht alles schlecht.

Und mit Bach ist einfach alles besser.

"So unfortunately we're out of Scheidemann for the moment, but may I interest you in some Muffat instead?"

"Lovely, I'll have a bit of vermischter Stil then."

"It's mostly Italian, though, but I can throw in some extra French ornaments to make it worth your while."

"No worries, mostly Italian is fine. I'm playing it on a North-German organ anyway."

*look of disgust*

While the Internet still hasn't recovered from yesterday's Weckmann release, I'm putting a strain on connections once again with another recording: Daphne variations from the Camphuyzen Manuscript.

It took some time (as is apparent from my summerly attire), but finally I have some vacation and got around to editing a video I recorded last year in Tangermünde. Obvioiusly you know the piece, a classic: Weckmann's Magnificat II. toni.

If some people derive a bit of joy from my rendition, I'd be more than pleased.

BTW: If you aren't subscribed to our Youtube channel Mengelicious Moments yet, consider doing so, it would help us get some traction going again. Years back we put out videos that garnered several thousand views, but after a hiatus (getting children et al) Youtube seems to consider us to be dead weight, meaning that even recordings in Tangermünde don't really gather any real traction. By interacting with the channel in one way or another, you might poke the bear Youtube and it may wake up to our existence again. Thanks in advance!
