That was absolutely outstanding---- I've been listening to Bach for almost 40 years, always "feeling" an architecture to it or a multi-dimensional aspect that exists despite the fact that it's nothing but a bunch of whistles and once the whistling stops there's nothing there. The visuals were also gratifying, after all these years, to be able to see what's going on in some of those really ambitious passages that sound muddy no matter who plays them. It was great being able to see clearly as well as hear when the hands were on different manuals and when they were on the same manual. When he's finished with the complete works of Bach, I hope he's start in on the organ works of Buxtehude or better yet Franck or Widor. Go you!
That was amazing. You don't really appreciate how utterly complex of a work that is until you see it all laid out in front of you, whether it be on the sheet, the keyboard, or here, graphically. It really makes you appreciate Bach as a masterful composer.
Not my favourite recording of the Toccata in Fugue but still, rather impressive although I don't like the way some of the notes were played very abruptly as stacatto and the visualisation seemed a little off in parts.
