By: ljwalker on Jun, 28 2013 Does it seem a little fast? By: mrorgan on Feb, 07 2017 It seems like it's a Newman trait - faster is better...

By: nigh on Jul, 25 2012 I was never impressed by such velocity. I find it disagreeable. By: jsb1685 on Jan, 02 2013 way too fast, this is just silly and ruins it By: Miandra on Dec, 26 2018 Impossible. Not worth in hearing such a mess and shame if "interpretation"... Trash it!!!
''	Concerto in D minor - III. Allegro (BWV 596)			2:39	track Rating: 3 (2)	2	Request
By: Brian on May, 02 2012 Too fast. By: nigh on Feb, 22 2013 As usual.
''	Prelude and Fugue in A Minor (BWV 543)			7:31	track Rating: 4 (5)	2	Request
By: Brian on Jul, 18 2012 Too fast, choppy and generally very messy. The fugue is utterly ridiculous. By: gemshorn on Feb, 08 2013 agree, way tooooooo fast! and one single registration throughout the entire piece, not the kind I prefer...
''	Toccata in D Minor - Dorian (BWV 538)			4:00	track Rating: 2.5 (7)	4	Request
By: Brian on Jul, 18 2012 Surprise - another one played way too fast... and faster than the organist can manage. By: jfk1961 on Oct, 29 2015 EW! By: bienchen on Mar, 06 2016 impossible! Out of any control! By: Sunday Afternoon on Mar, 27 2018 Agreed - not the best interpretation.
''	Prelude and Fugue in G (BWV 541)			6:03	track Rating: 2 (8)	4	Request
By: ragbin on May, 10 2012 When playing the Prelude, was he thinking that he had a plane/train to catch? By: Ortolland on Jul, 23 2013 Such a tempo is a nonsense. By: tonithepipe on May, 03 2016 i have the same Impression... By: Piccolo on Aug, 14 2016 @ Ortolland: Without discussion: This speed is really a nonsense. The composition is loosing character
''	Toccata and Fugue in D Minor (BWV 565)			7:11	track Rating: 2 (9)	1	Request
By: Ortolland on Jun, 11 2013 An impressive virtuosity but too much showing off!
''	Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor (BWV 582)			10:12	track Rating: 2 (6)	5	Request
By: Brian on Mar, 19 2012 Hmm - playing a passacaglia like a prelude doesn't work. Too fast and much, MUCH too showy, twiddly and dynamic: totally misses the point, the movement and the stately progression of this piece. By: jfk1961 on Mar, 19 2012 Whoa! Slow down Dude!!! By: stlorganist on May, 30 2012 is this guy running in the Kentucky Derby? I seldom comment on the organists interpretation but this is far to fast. By: nigh on Aug, 08 2012 I have never heard this man play at other than breakneck speed. Thus I have never sought out his recordings. By: gemshorn on Jan, 23 2013 Much too fast indeed, and indeed the passacaglia is played like a prelude and I don't like it much. But this alternate view of this much played work is yet interesting. And very cleanly played, which is at this speed not a small point!
