This interpretation does not aim to represent the currents narratives of the historically informed performance school (H.I.P.). The author of this interpretation has chosen to conduct an experiment: how would he perform this prelude and fugue if he had composed something similar himself? This experiment has shifted the focus from demonstrating various types of articulations to the essence of the music itself, offering a captivating journey into realms of hidden meanings.

Very very nice 👏💕
The tempo is just right
Some organist think by playing FAST is a show of superiority ! No “every note of Bach “ is precious
Don’t massacre the piece 😙

I also played this piece faster at first, but then I noticed that at a more lively tempo, all the grandeur of Bach's architecture is lost, turning into a pile of rubble. So I had to slightly curb my appetite for fast tempos, and then I discovered that playing it at a more moderate tempo is even more difficult because Bach doesn't forgive the slightest deviation from the majestic quality of the most conscious performance. Eventually, I realized that playing Bach is a journey into infinity; perfection will never be achieved. Climbing one step only reveals the next. So, I am still on the way. 🌹🌹🌹

It sounds majestic due to the right tempo, and the sound volume is well perceived due to high quality recording. This piece reveals itself only on HiFi acoustics.
