Fugue from Prelude and Fugue BWV 548 in e minor. Shows off the bass registers of the instrument well.
Ask yourself who on earth allowed the makers to shove a mirror over the Oberwerk.

Great performance. i haven't heard a fugue in a while <3 I love themmmmm. Anyone else hear the slighly out of tune third in the last chord? haha

This fugue is absolutely amazing! Such a great organ, such a great interpretation. It's interesting on why it's called the 'Wedge' fugue. The progression of the notes ( E, D#-F#, D-G#, C#-A, C-A#, then B-B) make it appear that a wedge is being driven into the notes.....does this description make sense? The point of the wedge is the first E natural, and the broader part of the wedge is the B-B octave. Anyhow, It's a really, really wonderful fugue! A great interpretation by Mr. Whiteley, as well!

I'm really pleased that Johann Bach had such amazing hopes and shared it with so many people.. Is it just me who really thinks this fugue is like a kind of Epic walk to heaven! (-and also i just had a really random thought that that anxiety like bit at 2min is like a fast lift transporting you between this world and the next which is understandably scary). Btw there's a different recording on itunes. PS. Im not saying im 'right'!

the male playing sort of resembles Bach; obviously with a modern hair cut!

At school, I tell people that Bach was the rock star of his time.

This fugue hasn't got everything. It hasn't got an appealing theme. But, even starting from other peaks in Bach's fugal oeuvre, this fugue reaches unscalable heights!
