This organ work is remarkable in the clear demonstration of his harmonic power. The rhythm could hardly be more basic, though the pathos is indisputable.
@bourdon32 I think Bach wrote his pices for everyones inturpitation. I think he would wounder, If Bach were around today, and heard this pice the way Mr. Curly played it or even Virgil Fox. What sort of trip would they be on What whith the organsof today.
Someone kindly tell Spuchube to F.O., the way they can't even wait for the final dignified note to fade away before thrusting an obscenely inappropriate advertisement in your face at full volume.
Firstly, it is probable that this was not written by J. S. Bach. More likely, it was written by a student of his, maybe Krebs, or possibly some other composer of the era. No matter who wrote it, certainly the tempo should not be so slow that the listener loses sense of the harmonic rhythm, as in this performance. Also, Bach wouldn't have changed the registration. The right hand would be a solo stop or a cornet and the left hand some 8 & 4 foot combination with 16 & 8 in pedals - unchanged.
Where do you get that from? Spurious? The unexpected melodic A# on the 4th beginning harmony is for me indicative of Bach’s modern invention. What’s more the entire piece has a depth of beauty such that any such composer who wrote it must have necessitated a large body of work in achieving this kind of standard.
Recently heard this in mass and I had listen to it again. This version is perfect and the title is perfect. Have mercy on me, O Lord
...touches the deepest ground of my soul; man, what an aweful peace of divineness, just blows me away

God rest his soul! Beautiful piece played by the master!
Less talking, more listening - the man is playing beautifully!
Just Absolutely amazing!! PTL!!!!!!!!
Words can not describe this interpretation. There are a lot of good versions of this piece but I am sure it would have ticked all the boxes for Bach
Have Mercy On Me, O Lord God
beaaautiful!

@bourdon32
correctness is for students.... not for artists. Bravo Carlo....
By far, the best interpreting of. This piece I have ever came across, only a little minus for the latter chords, tempi??
Rest in peace Carlo 11/08/12

I agree, the tempo is perfect! The stops, not... but it's a Curley interpretation. This could not be a fast prelude, in my opinion.

What is popular is not useally right and what is right is not useually popular. Clark and possibly someone else.
