Passacaglia & fugue in C minor (BWV 582) as played by Fernando Germani. Recording from 1961 on vinyl record, I don't know on which organ. This is the fugue part.

I would like to take this opportunity to quote from Keats' poem, Ode on the Poets: "Divine melodious truth." That line describes perfectly, this performance. The ending of the fugue is probably my favorite organ performance of all time- The power, the emotion; unprecedented!

Thank you oh so much for uploading this remarkable audio. :) (PS: This vid says '1962', but the passacaglia says '1961'^^ In any case, it doesn't sound half as old- excellent quality~~)

I'm glad you like it. I fixed the year, it's definitely 1961, thanks for noticing.

A truly astounding piece of music... wherever

F.G. makes unrepeatable impression. You can listen to other performers (and even to BuxWV161 as melodic prototype) but in vain.

Germani is great, expecially for the "legato" technique. but i thinq that Walcha performance of passacaglia is better.

Italian heart of F.G. helps to show the true value of deutcshe genius! Lets simply listen.
