I just listened to the organ music Of Pachelbel.... The older J.S. Bach brother, Johann Christoph Bach cherish and admire him much, and was his pupil, indeed Bach too was admiring him and apparently copy the partitions book of his eldest brother......
His music is less complex than Bach, less profound, but pleasurable in his own way, relaxing, with a playful sense of melodies and great clarity in the immediate expressive gesture ...
Buxthehude is a genius, and many other organ giant composers....Pachelbel is one of them for sure, with an appeal to all people that is like Vivaldi for people who are not fond of more emotionnally complex music like Beethoven for example......His easy to understand music is not from the highest point of the soul/spirit like Bach, but he know to soothe the soul of all of us...And that is marvellously easy to listen to just relax....
I listen to the Joseph Payne integral compare it to the Antoine Bouchard one... 24 hours of listening....😊
Payne is more diversified soundwise and spectacular, but i prefer the more calming introvert playing of Bouchard.... I own the 2 integral, then no boredom......
