I would like to take this opportunity to quote from Keats' poem, Ode on the Poets: "Divine melodious truth." That line describes perfectly, this performance. The ending of the fugue is probably my favorite organ performance of all time- The power, the emotion; unprecedented!
Thank you oh so much for uploading this remarkable audio. :) (PS: This vid says '1962', but the passacaglia says '1961'^^ In any case, it doesn't sound half as old- excellent quality~~)
F.G. makes unrepeatable impression. You can listen to other performers (and even to BuxWV161 as melodic prototype) but in vain.

Germani is great, expecially for the "legato" technique. but i thinq that Walcha performance of passacaglia is better.

Italian heart of F.G. helps to show the true value of deutcshe genius! Lets simply listen.

I'm glad you like it. I fixed the year, it's definitely 1961, thanks for noticing.
