I saw Daniel Roth last weekend at the Cavallier Coll organ at St. Sulpice play this fugue. Incredible! And he invite the public to the organ loft after Mass to meet him and watch! Breathtaking.
Great! I wished I could play like that. I have to keep up my work to achieve it...:) I really don't understand how can you possibly manage to play that fast without having determined what fingers you are going to use.... amazing. My teacher stresses that all the time. ;)
I notice you're not using your thumbs much (if at all) -- I understand this was historical practice when Bach wrote music. Was this on purpose? Fantastic video btw - and thank you, it's my favorite organ piece by Bach. I like both Hurford's and Newman's recordings!
Very well-done performance, and FANTASTIC ORGAN SOUND. I'm thinking about getting a Johannus Opus 17 for personal use. You make a strong case for the Johannus line in this video.

great performance (a little bit staccato sometimes), but -sorry- terrible organ-sound (not natural).

I've read that Bach championed the use of the thumb in keyboard playing - especially when transferring from one manual to another.

I think you little bit hesitate or forget the note in 3:14, also, I hear a strange sound at the bass in 3:27? Anyway, wonderful playing at all !
