I really cannot imagine the first contrapunctus being played at a greater tempo than this. Where do modernists get off thinking they can speed everything up? A bunch of drug addicts! =)

Yes. C.P.E Bach's note on the final page of score of fugue XIV that Bach died at the point in where the name BACH is introduced as a countersubject was a ploy to boost sales. Analysis of the paper and handwriting show that Bach had stopped working on that score long before he died. In his last years Bach was revising an earlier version of AOF that he had already completed 8 years before he died. (IMSLP has an organ transcription of this earlier version.)

Nice playing, but too bad about the palsy.

Yep, just about everything is factually misleading in this video. The quartet here stops within the very first (most certainly completed!) contrapuntus as though it were the last, incomplete one of the set... utter nonsense. And the chorale was already written in the main many years earlier; Bach did indeed dictate some changes on his deathbed, but that's different from the Romanticized version that is usually propagated.
To my taste, too much vibrato. The chorale is also cut off here.

they cut the wrong piece :P it was the last maestoso thingy that never was completed, just after the entrance of the subject B - A - C - H

Man this is awesome. Smoooooooth as a baby's bottom. I really like this - and some say, "too much this" and "not enough" that but who cares? This quartet came from a different generation - a different age - they played different and sounded different then quartets now do. An age where everything didn't have to be quarter to 144. No, 244 now....it's all fast and faster. This quartet just hums along at a nice quarter = 90. Nice for a change....why criticize? Enjoy the differences...
