The Schmieder BWV catalog's title is "Passacaglia," since, per the score, as here, the Fuge is not separate, e.g. BWV 531, et. al., but the last Passacaglia variation coming forth from the cadence without a break, despite popular (even the great Biggs) but mistaken performance (& title) practice improperly, jarringly breaking before the Fuge.
For me personally the beginning is more clearlly annunciated with a solo 16' pedal stop (Subbass?) presenting the subject without overtone interference.
Un plaisir a l'ecoute. Le tempo est toutefois un poil rapide a mon gout. Un peu moins de rush peut donner plus de majeste et d'emotion au morceau.
Merci d'avoir partage votre excellente interpretation.
