I played this piece for a Kawanis Festival many years ago, I came second because I did not have the piece memorized. I enjoy your playing, but I agree with Massiverate, the stop choice for the Prelude was a little heavey, try the lighter flutes, and a light pedal, it really gives the prelude a different colour, the Fugue needs to speak, slow it down just a tad, and again try to stay away from the heavy stops, this is a great prelude and Fugue, even thought it is a minor key, it needs to breathe
Well considering I am the Choir Master and the organ console is right at the front of the Choir loft in front of the choir it seems fitting to wear vestments
awesome!...i am learning this one right now...i can play the prelude and the first part of the fugue(until the pedals come in)...keep up the good work!
It is argued who actually wrote this piece and the other Preludes and Fugues. It is now believed to be written by Johann Tobias Krebs and Bach used these pieces to teach his students and took credit for them.
BEAUTIFUL!!

Very well played. I think your choice of stops is wrong for the prelude though.

I never understood why organists wear the garments. sure choirsters should, but most of the time organists aren't seen, and they are just annoying.

What a wonderful performance. It's not often that people hear this fugue. I think it's one of Bach's most beautiful. Thank you so much!
