One music critic once said that BWV 582 fugue is probably the greatest of them all but the humankind is too immature to realize that. When he was asked what was so special about that particular fugue he responded: "It must be very special. After all it has the great Passacaglia as a prelude".

I think this is one of the most perfect compositions ever written, whatever that word may mean.

I tried to play this and although I managed the Passacagia, the Fugue defeated me.

I am never ceased to be amazed by this piece, and in all Bachs music we have to listen over and over and over again to hear everything that is going on. It is only when you play his music you fully realise just what a genius the man was

[Charles Hodgkins]

ha! I think about that too when I look at all the opulence around the globe. And a lot of this music was written for kings, too. But dang, it's beautiful!

It upsets me when I look at a building like that and think of all the terrible things that happened to create them

[Michael Slater]

That final C Major chord goes right through me!!

12:30 is where the sky opens and god says "Yes."

Da 6.42 a 8.09 è sublime, stupendo, ti incanta quando lo ascolti!

One can hear how much he owes to Buxtehude. Beautiful... thank you for uploading.
