    Koopman is considered part of the 'historic' performance movement. He is a student of the great Gustav Leonhardt, who was probably the most prominent figure in historically performed music during the last century.

  • No, I'm not. I've checked. Ha, ha!

  • @achantus1 because you're stupid

  • I'm a bit confused. Is Koopman playing autentically ( the way Bach himself would play) or is he making this up ( unhistorically)? I would really prefer the historical approach.

  • yes...monumental and beautiful--muy bueno!!!

  • @CantusMaximus It IS avoidable if organ builders would make good wind supplies.

    Some modern "authentic" organs even have the defect.

    Can be any size organ.

    I hate it. Any organs, even historic instruments, that have this deficiency should have wind regulators added. The regulators can then be defeated (turned off) if one wants to hear the historic defect.

  • @robertgift Ahh, I see! I've never noticed that before. I've always thought it was simply unavoidable. Perhaps it is because I've only played on older/smaller instruments.

  • @CantusMaximus This organ is a half-step sharp.

    I hear some jitter at various places in the fugue. For example: 6:30.

    The lower, larger pipes, using more air, cause the smaller more pressure-sensitive pipes to waver in pitch. Noticed most when the higher notes are held as lower notes are running or changing.

  • @robertgift When in the music can I here what you refer to?

  • Hey, thanks for organizing these into a playlist. :-)
