Cosmic! Great..I played this at St. Stephen's cathedral in Vienna, visiting after hours with a friend. John Ashcroft had left the day before and left a pen on the music stand. But this really "does it justice"
Bach at his most wonderful; gets the short hairs on my neck when the pedal enters at about 55 seconds. The ending is magnificent too; amazingly dark and twisted then a sudden upward rush to the light. I want this at my funeral! not that i am planning to have it soon I hope

Beautifully played- it's not too fast so that we can appreciate the wonderful harmony on of Johann Sebastian. Too often performers play Bach and everything else far too fast as though it's a competition.
I don't know the Bavo Kirche organ, but it sounds for all the world to my ears like he forgot to draw the 8' principal on the Great (Hoofdwerke??) in the fugue. There's absolutely no tonal center to the sound. It's bizarre. If it's supposed to sound like this, I stand corrected. It may well supposed to sound like this.
A couple of years ago I played this organ, Mozart once played on. A wonderfull instrument with a thundering 32'. I belief it's one of the world's best churchorgan! Proud to be Dutch...
@Kinjutsuu -- &, er, Markohoppis -- it's a triple fugue -- in up to 5 voices (numbers such as '80' suggest the tempo ... or were you just being funny?)
The famous Haarlem organ, nothing else like it in the world. Another smooth and considerate performance by Michael Murray, never rushed, always allows the organ to speak and breathe in the acoustic, as he has done in his other landmark recordings, particuarly with Telarc at St Ouen, Rouen. Well I've given it full marks!
@BigOrganPipes I had a friend play this lovely fugue at my Mother's funeral service. It is based on the St. Anne theme of "O God our help in Ages Past". It is maybe one of the most dignified fugues Bach composed in my opinion. I thank God for granting the world the blessing one gets from listening to Bach's God given, inspired masterpieces.

Somewhat dated playing style, but very fine and magisterial on this famous instrument.

Superb, great organ and performance. This is J.S. Bach at his absolute best. The tempo spot on!

Gorgeous, velvety-sounding instrument. Murray aces the first and third fugues, a really fine performance. The second is a bit slow for my taste.
