This deserves zero stars.

His fresh apoproach appeals to some Organilve listeners. Watch the ratings on this track!

A little too far off the chart for me.

Certainly a different take, definitely fresh. Back in the day (when anything not "authentic" was a mortal sin) I would have snubbed my nose at this. Now, I enjoy it for what it is...and I do enjoy it. Fox wanted to bring Bach to a new audience. maybe

my only complaint is the lowest notes sound like crap on this virtual organ and i'm not shocked because i know for a fact that the instrument can only play cleanly down to about 23hz. the lowest note on a 32' stop resonate at 16hz so all the lowest notes on this organ sound horrible like i'm listening to some cheap computer subwoofer flapping around and distorting. trinity could fix this but it would take a little time and money to do it right the rest of the organ from 30hz on up sounds pretty good oh and Cameron is a genius !!!!!!!!!!

Bach on LSD! This would have been fun 40 years ago...

By: rockyspanks on Nov, 08 2011

this is actually more fun to watch. it's on youtube. watch cameron's hands. he's just amazing. a true virtuoso. go to youtube and search: "Bach Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565, Cameron Carpenter" that's the exact title of the video. if you love cameron, this is a must see video

The lowest pedal notes are produced by a variable pitch fan (thanks to aerospace people) which usually requires building modifications in addition.

Silly. Just plain silly. All it needs now is a drum track and a troupe of clowns. Utterly without merit.

If most OrganLive listeners dislike these tracks... who keeps requesting them? Not me for one!

A prodigious demonstration of the tonal and dynamic resources of a sophisticated numerium!

Ghastly ensemble sounds and much sloppier than I expected

By: ljwalker on Nov, 07 2011

I just don't see the creativity that Mr. Carpenter has shown in other interpretations.

Awful. What a ridiculous mess. Chucking in a few quotes doesn't make it any more clever, either. Oh Cameron - so, SO much talent - but when will you get some taste?
