This is a superb performance of this piece. I have listened to it twice and I have read all the comments added about it, and I don't understand how anyone could think this is "rushed, hectic, and immature". On the contrary, this is a very controlled performance. He steps up the tempo very effectively during the course of the fugue, which shows no signs of "rhythmic inaccuracies", as one commenter put it.
organman52 is RIGHT about the physicality but not about the playing. It is not particularly good. This looks and sounds rushed, hectic, immature. Maybe getting the physical problems under control would also help address the rhythmic inaccuracies, most especially noticeable when the fugue starts. Some would say this is rather typical of young American performers. Try Sebastian Küchler-Blessing's YouTube version and see how it should be done.
A grand sonata; full of melody and color; Chris' interpretation is very fine. The Austin is a clean, concise instrument; diapason and reed choruses are well-balanced and makes for a memorable instrument.

onnatuurlijke lichaamstrekkingen om het interessant te maken.
mooi stuk, goed gespeeld met een slechte voordracht... ;-)

how about let him play the way he feels comfortable. Good technique is doing what you want - when you want. Good job

Good playing - but why don't you try it again without all the jerking and gyrations? Is all that really necessary?
