Look for Arjen Leistra's performance of this pice at the organ in
Rotterdam's Hoflaakerk Holland. This organ has a very nice warm flue stop on it.

Very nice, but somewhat too fast indeed. The composer prescribes 'Allegretto non troppo vivo' and gives a tempo marking of 76. Though allegretto can be interpreted as slightly higher than that. So it's up for interpretation within those boundries. I tend do stick to 76, playing in a building with long acoustics plus I like it better that way.

amazing.. Gooze bumbs.

Listen to Gillian Weir's performance of this here, and Gillian's tempo is almost identical. However, Gillian's interpretation leaves this one for dead.
-
Oh, please. WAY too fast. This is supposed to sound like trickling water, and playful nymphs, not Niagara Falls. Too many details lost here.

hmmm...ok.

Good performance. I tend to like a slower tempo too.

A pleasure to listen to. Thanks for posting!

it's meant to be played extremely fast.
Outstanding, and no, the tempo is perfect.

@AristideCavCol I totaly agree. No sence of feeling or Imagination.
Think of this pice, Wounder through lush forest,coming apond a large
pond Lush green grass green trees and a water fall With little water fairys
scampering around in the water playfuly unnoticed by any humans.
