  • Too slow??? It' s too fast!! Excellent interpretation, however!

  • Still splendid? Who is Rübsam?

    Just have a short look on bar 7 at 0.30. Most of the others play here a mere sequence of sixteenth notes. He emphazises beat 1 and beat 3, what gives this single sequence a bouncing character. And this rendition is full of such details.

    I do not think, that he especially trained this style of articulation. It is naturally musical genius. He plays with the piece beyond the mere correct performance.

  • A very good organ, played very well, indeed.

  • The beauty of this Prelude and Fugue...is that no one has a single consistent interpretation!!! You can never go wrong learning it!!! :D!!! (I cannot wait to upload the fugue after I perform it today!)

  • Beautiful performance of what to my ear is Bach's most dignified fugue.

  • @friedrichsacher

    Obviously you've never heard of Glenn Gould.

  • THEATRALIC!!! If you playing bach, the only things that are moving are your hands and feet!

  • I would not compare this rendition with Rübsam. I think Koopman is the better choice for comparison. But I clearly prefer Karosis rendition in any case.

  • Rübsam-like, but still splendid.

  • I have the opposite impression. Legato great, but a bit too much rubato. "Theatricality" certainly doesn't bother me; it's good performing. He is an excellent player. 5*****
