J.S. Bach Fugue in A minor BWV 543

Live recording of a recital I gave in Lodz Cathedral, Poland in April 2007. The organ is by Eisenbarth and has about 70 ranks and mechanical key action.

Very good playing. I feel the connection towards the instrument and your passion for the music. Don´t stop playing the organ as long as you feel that connection. I wish you all the best. Greetings from Holland.

Pachelbel's son came to the American colonies to live in the 1790's and may have brought some copies of Bach's music with him, he was also knew Samuel Wesley, [John Wesley's brother] who also knew Bach's music. It was German settlers coming into the U.S. to establish residency, that brought the Haussman Potrait of Bach and Bach's Bible which was found at a garage sale in Michigan now at the University Of St. Louis, Mo, U.S.

@PerrrfictKats One of Pachelbel's sons also immigrated to the U.S. to live in the American colonies and its quite possible he may have brought some [or had sent from Germany] Bach's music with him, and I think I read somewhere he had the aqaintance of Samuel Wesley, John Wesley's brother who was familar with Bach's music.

543: first written record of performance played in the United States in Bethlehem Pennsylvania, Feb 2 1862. The audience sat in stunned silence at what the had heard . Bach was brought to the States by the German immigrants thru the established Mennenite church in Bethelhem, PA, altho some music of Bach's sons was played in the American colonies of the 1790's. Bach in America was not well established intill mid 19th century.

Who was that rude person talking!

I play the oboe and is a complicated instrument but every time I see a musician who plays the pipe organ and also as you do, the oboe and does not seem so complicated. Sometimes I think to play the pipe organ is necessary to have two brains. You play very well.

PS: Does anyone know of a piece of music by JS Bach is not great?
