great video, but that beginning was really weird...

I say it now and  said it before, I have never ever heard this piece played with such perfection and sweetness, Greg, you are truly wonderful, Bless you dear!

[MissyHolland]

Lovely interpetation of one of my favourite Bach compositions.



[Chamileaf]

I love the way you play this piece, It's just right.

[Strimlarn87]

Damn Egon! You really are an ego

[KarrotKun1]

Wow! I really want that transcription!

This guy went to Juilliard... this piece is magnificent and serenely sublime

@TheButchMaster objects (presumably to the "Imagine you're in heaven" lead) that this is from a secular cantata. He is correct, but we should remember that Bach wrote: “All music should have no other end and aim than the glory of God and the soul's refreshment; where this is not remembered there is no real music but only a devilish hubbub.” He also signed his manuscripts SDG (Soli Deo Gloria - to God alone the glory).

Graceful performance of another of Bach's beauties.

[ashjacksoul]

Greg, you're outstanding.

I like this song, but it does seem unusual that he is playing barefoot in a church. Never seen that before.

I came here as a result of hearing that Highway 39 in California won't be reconnected to Highway 2 as recently promised. The state proclaims it has to do with leaving the bighorn sheep alone. So seeking sanity, I remembered Bach's piece about Sheep May Safely Graze. Thank you for your calming rendition, I was previously shaken and stirred!
