@Orcobud I cannot agree. It is a vocal line, based on operatic, ornamented singing of the day. It would have not been detached, rather phrasing would have happened as the normal tendency for a singer to take a breath. I love this interpretation, btw.

Im Großen und Ganzen finde ich es nicht schlecht, aber an den Verzierungen sollten Sie noch ein wenig arbeiten, nicht allerdings an der Technik, sondern an der Ausführung.

[Trompetteenchamade]

Over the past century the notion of "correct" Baroque style (and tempo) has ranged across the entire musical universe. Some now preach that detached articulation is the "right" way. What on earth is present in this work--not in treatises (often as not written prescriptively for amateurs), or textbooks, or a teacher's dogma--to suggest dogmatic separation? Do we really think Bach's musicianship was so limited? The lines beg for a sonorous, singing style. And call the heel police! Oh no!

Très belle exécution...

...my favorite music...

@Orcobud: forget all that "political correctness" and speculation about what would be "correct" - and if the organist feels comfortable using heels, let him do it (and I too use them when playing this piece!!)!! Let the interpretation convince me by itself - and I vote in its favour!! [I personally think it a little too slow, but that's MY taste.]

Well done indeed!!

Bravo.

[Orcobud]

I must say, this is a really nice interpretation and the registration is perfect! One small point, the chorale line is (in my humble opinion!) too legato, a more detached style would be better suited to Bach (and Baroque organ music in general). Also there is no real need for using heels in the pedal line, toes automatically create the detached playing. This is a really good video, very enjoyable and it's one of my favourite chorales. Keep up the good work! :)

To my ear whilst, yes, I'd like those trills to be more elaborate and played through, I thought your choice of tempo spot on, your subtle use of rubato to be judicious and agree with your choice of playing the cantus firmus legato for the best cantible effect. And no probs about using your heels either. It's the musical effect which is most important after all, no matter how it's achieved. A fine performance, thank you for posting your interpretation of this exquisite chorale prelude.

le jeu du pédalier est impressionnant. je trouve les trilles plutôt corrects
