Fast & furious

very nice performance, clear division of registers, remarkable breathing, with additional help of the rather dry accoustics, love the pedal voice.
would appreciate the advice to a young dutch organist gertrw playing the same piece bwv 540

Very nice performance. This is a very hard piece to play with control which he certainly does. Thanks!

Great clarity, no muddling or rushing--every note has its own chance to shine!

fantastic job once again!

I find it amusing that everyone wants Bach played at break-neck speed. Walcha's tempi, for me at least, are sublime. But then I guess it's all a matter of personal taste.
This is an amazing performance, beautiful technique.

What an amazing performance. So enjoyable to listen to and to watch the organist. Flawless technique; very controlled.

This is my favorite performance of the Toccata 540 on YouTube. I prefer it to Ton Koopman's version, which seemed a little unclear at times. Michiels gives a very accurate, clear, and moderately fast performance of the piece but is not afraid to insert small breaths that accentuate dramatic moments in the piece.
He makes me wish I could play organ, but I could never get close to an organist at pedaling.
Truly terrific.

beautifully played, I have always loved this piece, I did it a few months back at a recital in Edinburgh
