Bach wrote the Toccata and Fugue in d for the organ, which has more range, and also allows more notes to be played at the same time, since the organist is working with both hands and feet. I also like her choice of tempo -- she doesn't rush through it the way Anthony Newman does, nor stretch it out and make it a bit too ponderous the way Xaver Varnus does (and that's very much a personal choice, since I picked two brilliant extremes, both worth listening to). But, in the end, I still like the Karl Richter version.<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98w25S5yASc<br /><br />And thank you for giving me another musician to follow.Ben Yalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12559411931000354498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-5176551000511282222020-04-26T07:40:50.745-05:002020-04-26T07:40:50.745-05:00Wow what a talent.
