JS Bach's Prelude and Fugue in D Major BWV 532!
And what a piece it is!
I recently heard a recording of ‪@davidbriggs6375‬ playing this and was greatly inspired by his interpretation. What an organist David is - one of the very best!
I really hope you enjoy this performance, played on the Jürgen Ahrend 'Bach' organ in Dreinigkeitskirche, Regensburg (Germany), made possible using Hauptwerk.
Organ: www.pipeloops.c...
Many thanks to Caroline for her nifty camera work!

An excellent rendition. - I remember a small section of the prelude featured in the early 70's Monty Python 'fish licence' sketch at the point when the very tall Lord Mayor came into the post office. (Apologies to people not from the Monty Python era). It took me years to find out where the music was taken from. (No internet then). It's been a great favourite of mine ever since.

You're playing is so awesome, Richard! I enjoyed the extra decoration on the pedal scales as well as the accelerating manual scales at the end of the Prelude. The sample set was well chosen, with elements of both the argentine tone of North German school mixtures and the honk of quintatons characteristic of Thuringia, and I thank you for using them in antiphonal dialog. And top the whole thing off with a Zimbelstern. Absolutely brilliant!

Perfectly played and showing your splendid virtuoso performance skills. I am a big fan of yours Richard and am in awe of you but I do believe in being honest and to the point whilst always wishing to maintain due respect, especially to someone of such prestigious ability, I would like to comment as follows; This is one of my favourite JSB compositions which I play from the Novello edition and I have always adhered to the majority of the notation and ornamentation which works very well for me and having listened to a lot of UK and European recordings of the piece, I am accustomed to hearing and playing it that way, together with a reduced tempo and unwritten ornamentation also with a much more uniformed choice of registration and manual changes. I am a big fan of authentic performances of JSB organ works and prefer such performances rather than virtuoso performances which include unwritten cadenzas and elaborate ornamentation which are a pet hate of mine. For some reason the Fugue is always played too fast so that in very cavernous acoustics such as a Cathedral it can sometimes sound like a complete blur. Not what JSB had in mind, together with numerous other Toccatas, Preludes and Fugues which can be spoiled by hurried tempo, mainly by virtuoso performers. The late Kingston Upon Hull City Organist , Peter Goodman, who was one of my mentors, once said at one of his Organ Recitals on the famous Forster and Andrews Organ in the City Hall, that Classical Organ music should be treated largely as inspirational rather than entertaining and I have completely bourn that in mind when learning, practicing and performing a recital. He and my main organ teacher were very much “Old School” and I make no apologies for continuing to strictly adhering to the way I was taught. I certainly wouldn’t be where I am or perform as I do without that grounding which I would add was hard work with no shortcuts or room for complacency. David Craggs ALCM.

Thank you for the wonderful, energetic and powerful interpretation of the Bach piece on the organ in Regensburg. I'm not sure whether a slightly slower interpretation with fewer overtones would make the structure of the piece clearer and come closer to the original interpretation. Please forgive these little hints.

Sounds great on this organ! Though this sounds fabioulous, I must say I like your ‘Classic’ interpretation on Ermelo (or Haarlem) just a little bit more, but that is probably just my own opinion opting for a majestic tempo! (And may have to do with the fact that playing this interpretation as good as you do here is very difficult on a tracker organ IMO). Anyway: great work, wonderful music: true beauty in sound!
