    The particularly successful sound of this organ is wonderfully well recorded (which we are not used to). And Karl Richter's vivid and deceptively clear play here reveals the maximum of this Bach spirit lying in solution barely detectable in the fluids of his harmonies. This recording is for me a summit and a great pleasure. Le son particulièrement réussit de cet orgue est merveilleusement bien enregistré ( ce à quoi nous ne sommes pas habitués) . Et le jeux vif et trompeusement clair de Karl Richter révèle ici le maximum de cet esprit de Bach qui gît en solution à peine détectable dans les fluides de ses harmonies . Cet enregistrement est pour moi un sommet et un grand plaisir

    Bachs Musik eine ständige Inspiration, Anfang und Ende aller Musik. Alles lässt sich hier finden und ist ein unerschöpflicher Kraftquell, der eine Magie innewohnt, die ich sonst nirgends finde. Karl Richter hat das verstanden und meisterhaft vermittelt.

    This is a portal to higher dimensions of existence. Thanks for sharing this peak achievement of human aspiration. In awe that Bach composed and performed this on similar instruments 300 years ago . Richter throws open the portal as only the chosen can. A 10 on my Richter scale. Compare this to what most are doing now.

    Sorry for my inadequate English. Karl Richter came from a romantic tradition, a music style unknown to Bach. Richter play the Fantasia way too slow, there is no tempomarks like adagio or largo.

    It is obvious that Bach belongs to another era. But there is another issue involved in the matter of interpretation. It is quite clear that because of the influence of the piano and the progress in technical skills, performers nowadays play much faster than centuries ago. I am even sure that the pace of Mozart's piano music in his time was much slower than in our time. The pace has been very increased. So, I think its is historically just to play the former works of Bach and even Mozart and Beethoven slower than nowadays the habit is.

    Teun van de Steeg, I am sorry for my inadequate English. Just a few words about the pace in Bach's organ works: The fugue theme in the pedal is sometimes written more simple, else they couldn't play the piece fast. If they wanted to play the fugue slowly, there wasn't any need to change the melody line in the pedal.

    Teun van de Steeg, quote: ".....performers nowadays play much faster than centuries ago." I wish I could support you, but I can't. After the organists started to include their thumbs as a standard, they were able to play very fast. Also in Bach's lifetime they loved to impress each other, "noone play faster than me!" What about the Fugue BWV 548? The time signature is cutting C. All the runs of semiquavers is faster than the demisemiquavers in this Fantasia.

    I love it too. For me -- not that I didn't enjoy the back-and-forth arguments from "geir" and yourself about the tempo/speed -- I don't mind different renditions or interpretations. To give an example from modern pop music, the band, "Spooky Tooth" did a cover of the Beatles' "I Am the Walrus" that is extremely bluesy, soul-stirring and so incredibly intense that I'm just totally, absolutely blown away by it. They digested and transformed it completely in a way that is extraordinary. But . . . does that mean that I don't love the original just as much? No -- not at all! It is a absolute work of musical genius. And listening to the original brings me just as much "inebriation" -- but in a different way. Changing the subject a bit, I wonder of Anthony Newman ever played this? I often love his interpretations -- though his Brandenburg Concerto album I wasn't as keen on. In fact I don't really like it at all! :-D

    Excelente. Interessante que eu escutava essa música com o Karl Richter em um Long Play de vinil, entitulado no brasil "Obras Para Órgão", da gravadora London. O som daquele órgão é magnífico. A interpretação é ligeiramente diferente. Nesta gravação parece haver muitos sons de tubos, com uma massa sonora expressiva. Na outra que eu escutava, não chegava a tanto, ao menos na impressão ao ouvir.

    Удивительно! Но почти ни один исполнитель не играет эту Фантазию так, как записал ее сам Бах. Все играют “как Бог на душу положит”, “по шаблонному восприятию”, не затрудняя себя элементарно просчитать длительности. Иногда просто больно слышать искажения ритма, коверкающее столь гениальную идею Фантазии соль минор И.С.Баха.
