So slow? Only if you are impatient, I think.

[ekalliga]

superb!

The other version posted on Youtube has a less harsh, less trebly sound - but the interpretation is always admirable.

[GerardRatigan]

Un son incroyable (vous le comprenez comme vous voulez) ! Ecoutez-moi ce seize pieds ... c'est quand même quelque chose qu'il faut avoir entendu

[Korea4Me]

최고의요!

Thanks for amazing video!

@Steinbach1984 Well, actually, I'm not telling anyone the "right way to play it," so calm down.

[Steinbach1984]

@BeckyBarnett Well, actually little is know as to how fast baroque keyboard music should be played. There were no metronomes these days. Play it your own way, at your own speed, and have others say whether they like it or not, but let nobody say s/he knows the right way to play it.

Thanks for this - I had the LP years ago, it makes me cry. Lovely.

@BeckyBarnett Compare Gould when he played young and old. He slowed down too and it is nice (and I'm not that old yet).
