@TheGloryofMusic Thank you. You are absolutely right! Just checked (I have Rogg's Arlesheim cycle) and I stand corrected! Two recordings were produced with a few years of distance and are most similar, though the Zürich one sounded more impressive, albeit on a neo-baroque organ instead of an authentic one.

About authorship: there seems to be concrete evidence that the work is by Krebs: if so, it was his masterpiece. The style is Bach, but Krebs was his pupil and the work, in its very balanced score (with Bach's intervention probably) shows some things Bach would not do: scholars have shown that this is not a strict Fugue, unlike all the other large-scale Fugues for organ by Bach.

This is wonderful, absolutely wonderful. Kudos to L. Rogg.

I had the LP decades ago. It was recorded in the 4-manual large Meztler organ in the Grossmunster, Zürich, in the 1960's. I see no reason to play all those quavers legato, but other than that the brisk tempo suits the piece very well, with none of the unwarranted rubato so much in vogue nowadays. All in all, an excellent recording by a great player on a great organ.

@Braybaroque You're thinking of Rogg's 1st recording of the Bach cycle (he made 3 in all). This performance is from the 2nd, on the Silberman organ in Arlesheim, Switzerland.

Isn't this the Fugue whose attribution is disputed between Bach and Krebs?

@TenorCantusFirmus There's no question that it is by Bach. No other composer had the technique to compose such a piece.
