J. S. Bach - Fugue for organ in G Minor BWV 578

[Scorpiusgrl]

I am learning this, but I have so little time. It's hard, hard , hard and especially if I am just doing it by memory. I wished I could read notes.

This is proper excellent

Is this really Ton Koopman playing? It doesn't sounds like him at all.

[KhagarBalugrak]

@starbreez3, it sounds like him because of all the added ornaments, which is something Koopman usually does.

[starbreez3]

@KhagarBalugrak I listen to Koopman for a long time, I know exactly why he's so known for... His vivacious performances, full of ornaments etc. And this is a really slow, controlled and very boring slow tempo, which is not a characteristic of his playings... But I guess he got the right to change tempos as much as he likes then! Great nonetheless but too restrained not flexible at all!

@starbreez3 This piece is, by design, very methodical and mechanical. Koopman's performance here is actually pretty liberal for this piece. He adds a good amount of flair and departs from the original composition in a few places (not saying that's a bad thing, just commenting on the style employed.) Listen to performances of this piece by other musicians and you still see this to be true.

@starbreez3

You can hear in the final cadence that it is definitely Koopman. There is another video of Koopman playing this same piece and he plays that final cadence with the same trill and suspension.
