bla bla bla.. I am not against tempo allegro- vivace for this piece at all !! I suggest for Him slow down because there is too many mistakes!!!

[Cancrizans]

None of these people imagine they are or asked to be compared to Bach himself or any great interpreter etc...if that is the only yardstick you have in your pocket maybe you should realize that you are the one with the mental failure and not someone like this who posts a well played recording with the intent to share and communicate.

[Cancrizans]

Sorry, I am sore and tired of all the Geniuses on Youtube who are so accomplished that they have time to seek out every last person trying to share something of themselves and make ridiculous and insulting comments. With the arts being so neglected, anyone who really cares should compliment even a 2 fingered Orangutan trying to play Bach, much less criticize people who can play like this and all the other talented people the Youtube peanut gallery likes to "critique".

[Cancrizans]

This is actually a fairly moderate pace for this piece, your comment about tempo is uninformed(if you have ever heard Anthony Newman play this piece at breakneck pace with a dotted beat you can see how its structure can survive at any tempo).Maybe a mistake here and there, but if you had any modesty or common sense you would see that this is a musician playing in a small church and sharing his art with a lot of people who would maybe never even here this kind of music otherwise.

actually i am an organist, so i have seen an organ. it is very beautiful string instrument.

[Cancrizans]

I wonder if you have ever been near an organ much less played one...

IMO wonderful playing, I live in Stillwater, I wish I knew when this man played regularly I would attend every concert, BRAVO and please let me know if concerts at this level are given in the Blairstown area well I will try contacting you directly before I give my email to the public but :) I will check if your church has a website, regardless, carry on brother your music certainly carries the best of us forward.

[pitturista]

you are playing too fast and too much mistakes in one piece. you are doing a sport, not Bach

[geheimnisvolle]

I think I will study this work in September...It looks difficult...

Anyway, I like your playing. Good work!

fantastic playing, i always find this piece much harder to play than it sounds, not that im saying it doesnt sound hard!! I did this in a university recital a few months back and there was a good few mistakes although lucky for me they mostly went unoticed!!

Great playing, espec pedal. Qish acoustics could have been better and it was performed on one of the great European organs but this was fine. Thanks
