Right after this performance Virgil Fox got the crowd to chant "B-A-C-H!" repeatedly. I remember hearing this very performance on a video called "The Joy Of Bach."

Virgil Fox was a Master of music, LONG LIVE VIRGIL FOX !

[brandonflexer]

Fox was the gayest of the gay.

how can anyone listen to this and maintain that bach's organ compositions should be performed like "exercises"...exactly as written? the limitations of the organ in bach's time should NOT forever dictate how his music is performed.

I recall 5 years ago at Mass in SLC UT, I played this during communion and man did I get one nice applause and several people including children of all ages danced one nice gigue not to mention the bishop and priest. My father whom passed away in 2008, had the biggest smile on his face. Both him, the bishop, and the priest said that mas was so much fun and lively when I played the gigue.

The entire congregation congratulated me. some said it was not appropriate, but oh well
