In all honesty, I think it is refreshing to hear some pieces at a slower pace. It's sometimes nice because you hear some things that you don't necessarily catch at the faster clip. I know there's one recording of Carlo Curley playing the C minor Passacaglia and Fugue by J.S. Bach where he takes it markedly slower than most, and with a great deal of success. My only criticism is that I wish this was the whole piece!
What generally do people do at the end of this piece with regards to the large stretches in the left hand? (the part with the sustained A and the flowing semiquavers above it).
One Pedal reed is "DOubling" likely dirt in the reed. More reverd would have been nice. Slow - OK, but you can hear the notes and that is more important. To bad video did not focus on player instead of overexposed windows and under exp building
Your assessment is descriptive and subjective. You are pretty harsh without knowing acoustics of Building and repsonce of organ. It is slow - Yes - I can hear all those fast high notes during the pedal theme line. Usually obscured. That is HER interpretation - not yours. You play it better please - then post it. Be objective not nasty.
What would you know, Carol? Someone who favorites people playing Electones has no business making such harsh criticisms. I think this is a rather good interpretation. The recording quality isn't that great, probably why the articulation sounds a bit off. Non-educated people like you who go around criticizing organists far superior to yourself are a boon to our profession. If you don't have anything nice to say...

This is a little slow but an accurate performance. Nice :)

Nice but a little too slow. More detail. Wish the room were much more reflective for this glorius work.
Why not whole composition? Get excited and flow with the excitement. A pipe sounds strange in the pedal. Thank you. Hope you post more.

Speed up the tempo a bit, articulate a bit better, and it should be fine.
