As interpreted by Ethel Smith! Oh wait - I forgot -- her "piece de resistance" was "Tico Tico"!
-
A monumentally catastrophic performance.
Utterly crass and insensitive.
The passage commencing @6.17 is quite possibly the most injurious playing I've ever heard.

Why in F#?

I imagine, he was intending to play it in F, and then thought fuck it, i'm better than all of you and will play it in F Sharp, JUST BECAUSE I CAN.

@diaphoneman - well.... that's the challenge of every organist (which violinists for example don't have). Even the best organists practice for days or at least a whole night before they give a concert on an organ they've never played before. Sometimes they even do an indepth study. If mr Carpenter wasn't given sufficient practice time no professional organist would blame him.

@toplinkengineman If you would like to hear why Cameron transposed this, watch the video called "Cameron Carpenter Interview Bach BWV 540 Toccata and Fugue in F". You will hear why Cameron transposed it and you will also hear a much much MUCH better version of this 540 piece recorded live at Saint Mary's church in New York.

Every organ is different. You have to find the right music that works with each instrument. The way Cameron plays this piece at Saint Mary's is astonishing. Every organ IS different and if you can't see that than that's YOUR problem. Hand Yo-Yo Ma a cello where the strings are spaced apart different and the wood is heavier and the cello is a tad shorter and the strings sound different and see if he can sit down and play a complicated piece the same as he can on his own intimate personal cello.

I am afraid politics in the organ world is as it is in Washington, divided as ever! The old debate between historically correct and played with feeling camps is splitting us further apart. Music is an "individual" phenomena. Lets do away with snobbishness/absolutist attitudes.

That's the Toccata in F, all right, but played in F-Sharp!
