For me, the issue of the piece's tempo had come up several times during various music lessons. But here's a more concrete reference which is probably more helpful: Kennedy, M., ed. "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring", Oxford Dictionary of Music, Oxford University Press

People still remember this piece by Bach who wrote this 300 years ago, but we're not going to remember Poker Face in 10 years.

Actually we're just used to hearing the much slower version because people nowadays like to play it slow at weddings, etc. Bach originally intended it to be played and sung at a faster pace. Gyorgy is being true to the composer's intent.
