Excellent recording by Michael Murray, played on one of the largest organs in the world. It sounds absolutely massive. The lows in this piece will make your house shake.

I never really "got" Bach until I saw smalin's visualizations. Now I realize how brilliant Bach is.

Oh wow, this is a REALLY cool visualization. I'm going to show this to friends who can't read sheet music. Thanks for sharing!

Also I can't remember seeing a Youtube video that old. Pretty OG.

That one is a brilliant brilliant version, but my favorite is Xaver Varnus because of the sound of the organ itself, in the venue.

T&c is my favorite classical piece, has been since I was a kid. I'm not particularly into classical on any deep level or anything, but when a 9 year old is asking for a cassette of it, you know it's good lol
