@horndiapason I agree - too much baroque music is played far too quickly. This performance has a "just right" feel for the tempo. It feels neither rushed or sluggish. I like it!

I can play bits and pieces of this by ear on a piano so I have to admire anyone who can play the whole thing. If I ever had a chance at a pedal organ, I would have to spend months teaching myself the pedals by playing just that.

bravo complimenti,,

Almost there, but the hesitations and stutters detract a lot. More preparation next time.

Although I thought the same as everyone else who said it should have been more upbeat, I am no one to criticize. This was stupendous. Only masters like E. Power Biggs can make this piece prance , while still maintaining the complexity and massiveness of the texture. Bach often wrote to challenge the organist and showcase his technical expertise. This is one of those pieces.

Same opinion here. Tempo a little "too comfortable". It is a dance. (!!)

Your articulation was pretty nice, but I would suggest stabilizing the tempo throughout... then it would be a very lovely thing. Nice to hear it on this fine sounding instrument. :)

Not to be contentious, but IMHO you do "get it". Yes, the piece is a dance, but there is no reason to assume that St. Vitus should be involved! I felt that your tempo was lilting and well-energized, but I see that some disagree with me.
So many otherwise concientious organists take Baroque music at breakneck tempi, forgetting the conditions in which they were written: more sluggish organ keying actions and cavernously reverberant acoustics being two that figure prominently.
I say BRAVO!

Enjoyed your performance, stylistically you are right on the money! I enjoy your playing you are sensitive and attentive. Thanks for a job well done!
