Bach Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor BWV 582 This time on the Real Thing. Casavant Frères Opus 3765 Orchestra Hall, Chicago Scott Hostetler November 2023
Fabulous performance of a piece I love. Expansive, expressive, plenty of space to enjoy the harmonies and progressions - like so many pieces, a lot of organists take it much too fast for my tastes! And I do like Casavant organs...
WOW! That was fantastic! Nice tempo with a slight edge to it. Good abundance of terraced dynamics that seem to be bottomless at the end of the fugue, and an instrument whose "gain" knob goes up to 11.
Beautiful, Scott! Best wishes, Ceci
I loved the tempo throughout the work.

Glad you took the opportunity to perform and record this! Wonderful - you are amazing.
