Stephanie Trick playing J.S. Bach's Little Fugue in G Minor (BWV 578) in the University of Chicago's Rockefeller Memorial Chapel on May 19, 2009. The E.M. Skinner organ heard here was installed in 1928, taken out of service in 2000 for restoration, and returned to service in 2007.
This recital featured the first student to play the organ publicly since completion of its $2.1 million restoration. See

The guy that turns the page isn't getting enough recognition.

I love this organ. She plays this piece perfectly for this instrument. Nice and romantic.
-
I loved it! -especially when she kicked it that double foot bass!!!
-
that was legit
-
Good tempo, nice and crisp. I was taught to play this slowly - about this tempo - and with a very simply, clear registration...perhaps Stop Diapason, Principal, FIfteenth. Pedal Bourdon, Flute and Fagotto. Making everything is clear and can be heard. So often this is played far too quickly and with as many stops as possible - on version I heard even used the Tuba!!!

@codeman2008 Unlike North German organs, mixtures on Skinner organs (particularly EM Skinners - before G Donald Harrison came into the picture) provide 'lilt', only modest upperwork extension to the plenum. You will not find a Skinner mixture that 'screams', they blend very well with the remainder of the organ - Skinner definitely know what the heck he was doing with respect to tonality in his organs. Skinner organs are the best of the best - and they are truly AMERICAN!!!

This being a recorded at a recital (see description) I highly doubt she's sight reading. Great performance... it's refreshing to hear this 1. at a slower tempo 2. without mixtures screaming so loud and high pitched it'll give you a headache! LOL

It's a good and solid performance. Tempo is quite relaxed but not necessarily too slow. Registrations are good IMO but I agree with stoneba7, this is much too legato.
With such hefty registrations, one must play much more detached to avoid everything blurring together. It would sound infinitely better with just that little bit of air between the notes. That crisp baroque articulation is essential here.
