Truly beautiful and inspiring performance! Thank you Maestro!

Nice comment by bigmandrel, above. Each great organist interprets this piece differently. I have Piet Kee, Peter Hurford, Walter Kraft and Harald Vogel playing it on CD's and LP's, and each is excellent. Bear in mind also that on this video, Arjen Leistra did not have the luxury of multiple "takes" or the professional sound gear that go into the making of a commercial recording. This was a very fine performance and I enjoyed it.

Hats off to you, sir! A most enticing performance, I thoroughly enjoyed it! Thank you.

Listening again to this work. Wow! It is a grand experience. The triple counterpoint is epic.

Thank you for the wonderful performance. This is one of my favorite works for organ. I especially liked your particular phrasing (to use a modern term) of the 1st fugue subject, and your choices of tempo for the various sections. Everyone does it differently, or rather, should. What I heard here was beautifully individual and invigorating in spirit. Bravo!

NB I am not advocating a metronomic interpretation, but, like Robin Hood, whatever is robbed (from the rich) is given back (to the poor).

Perhaps those of you who are less than happy with this performance can offer their videos of themselves playing this great organ work. Surely we could all benefit from hearing how it is truly supposed to be played.
