Sorry, but I think your performance is too mechanical. For example, the full chords at the end of each piece could be more carefully prepared. Try to play them "arpeggio", not in that "piano-like" blocks. 2) Connect the pieces with a breath, in more relaxing manner and don´t hurry while turning the pages. 3) Ttry to use two different stops so you can achieve some contrast in sound. 4) I beg your pardon cause I´m so boring...but barroque music needs some "warm" aproach too...don´t you think?
Great job. I must say I love your repetoire; if I could play with this kind of agility I would pick the same. Do you play any English virginal music i.e. Byrd, Bull, Morley, Gibbons? Also, the organ tocattas of Claudio Merulo are very nice :)
Thank you. I've never played any English virginal music myself, but I've heard some lovely pieces on cd.
I've tried the toccatas of J.J. Foberger once. They sound a bit like the toccatas of Gabrieli, Merulo and other old Italian composers. At this moment, I'm trying to play one of Merulo's. Strange enough, I think these old toccatas are more difficult to play than those from the late baroque.

I don't know why this first person gave you a 3 on the rating. You gave a good performance and it was steady in tempo. I would say a 5 at least!
