I do not believe i making music by changing the stops. Not in this fugue in particular.

[vizipok01]

I was very sick. I needed this recording for the Bach competition, so I am praying it is good enough to pass... But you are right I don't like it I will take it off.

[YevgeniyAlexey]

In my opinion BWV 548 is not ready for publishing. I hear a weird uncertainty and a hesitating attitude. It sounds if you are not sure how to handle the whole structure. The consistency is missing.

[vizipok01]

Thanks for comment. Can you tell exactly why you don't like the performance?

[jimbobboyorganist]

EXTREMELY FINE PLAYING AND INTERPRETATION. I stand in awe at the Master's feet! Only the jealous and resentful critisize in such a Nazi-like way: no accidents and only one interpretation--heil!

[YevgeniyAlexey]

What are the priorities?

Some minor inaccuries here and there, a missing trill here, an added trill at the other passsage? What is important is the fire. And concerning the fire Mr. Barosi delivered some really outstanding interpretations. Interpretations which are ways beyond many other established organists.

There are many organists who play the pieces. There are a very few of them who play with the piece. Mr. Karosi belongs to latter group.

Very good.  Nice playing. Thank you.

@YevgeniyAlexey i agree

[douddy21]

Bravo, toujours la même précision et la même rigueur dans le jeu. Juste les retenues nécessaires qui viennent de l'esprit et non de la technique. Félécitations d'un mélomane organistique averti surtout pour l'oeuvre de js Bach. Tempo un tout petit peu lent a mon goût. Mais bravo.

[eameece]

In this case the somewhat slower and rubato tempo brings out all the elaborate ornamentation and counterpoint very effectively. 5 stars I say!

[AlexanderZographos]

thanks for postings, you play this dramatically!

[ForestChav]

If you want anything in particular message me. I do have a large number of Bach organ recordings.

Thank you, Forest, for all of your wonderful posts.

Thanks to you, my wife and I get to hear performances we would otherwise never enjoy.

I will have to find my Kalmus miniature scores to review the items you mentioned.

Years ago I loaned out my Peter's Editions and most are still missing.

Wonder if I "play the B flat in bar 68 of 534 as a natural" and the other things you point out?

At 6:55 I just noticed that Balint does a descending pedal scale and this time PLAYS THE PEDAL TRILL!

[ForestChav]

There's also a tendency to play the B flat in bar 68 of 534 as a natural... it's in neither my BGA nor Novello, I first noticed it on Alain's 1979 recording - others have added it since. (Alain plays it too in her later recordings, so it isn't an error).

BTW, I uploaded a bizarre 548 by Martin Luecker this morning...
