BACH Fugue in G-Minor ('The Little') BWV 578 Thank Smoking

Too bad the music stops a second or so too early. That is the sweet spot! Can you fix? Otherwise delightful.

Beautifulness

It is so nice to hear a piece played that
stirs the heart and soul. Could hear it
many times, always makes you smile!

I feel like the Carbon Reinitialization Program is upon us....

Where's Trigger when we need him? o_o

That´s the right tempo. Now I have heard so many organplayers trying to break the speed-record in fugueplaying. They simply miss the greatness and clarity. Thankyou for this!

Beautiful You are gifted, enjoy :)

Don't you mean Stokowski? It's still the Philadelphia; perhaps Ormandy recorded it also, I may be mistaken. I think Stokowski is the orchestrator; I think it (the orchestration) was originally ascribed to the bass clarinet player in the Philadelphia as the orchestration was considered a gauche thing to do in those days.

yeah, my favorite performance is definitely Philadelphia as conducted by Ormandy, the orchestration itself could have been done by Stowkowski (the notes didn't say iirc), but it's different than the Stokowski version I've heard (though mine is played by the BBC). But I'm sure I'm biased; my Ormandy track was on one of those old CBS classical 90s albums and I heard it approximately thirty million times growing up.

Your right. Stokowski orchestrated it. He had a segment on a radio station for which he would arrange music, and he had a full orchestra at his disposal. He arranged many fugues and other "church" music because he thought the public would benefit from hearing them.
