There is a tremendous amount of work in mastering and performing this beautiful music. Well done, nice job.

Excellent execution. In tempo, in the sustainment of individual notes, and from the beginning, I was impressed by the use of two different hands on the two manuals

Sounds happy, joyful and adventurous. It also sounds like you can dance to this.

AND THE BEST PERFORMANCES ARE ALWAYS THOSE THAT COME FROM MEMORY, WHERE THE PERFORMER TRULY OWNS THE PIECE.

Bravo Ken! I guess the only way to play this very difficult piece as well as you do is from memory. It's a pity the camera didn't catch the dancing pedal work.

Ken, I thoroughly agree with kahuna514's comments. You did a great job on one of my many favorite Bach pieces!

Why was the camera not aimed a little lower to show Ken's pedaling? Love the way Ken plays the notes for full value. Many shortchange a note by heading to the next note. Why are the mordents, grace notes and trills heard athe beginning not continued throughouthis wonderful fugue?

Excellent performance. This is a much better rendition than most, somewhat similar to the one by Matthias Havinga.

Gee! I was almost expecting that little interpolated coda that the late Virgil Fox used to add at the end :-)

I used to listen to Virgil Fox at the Hammond Castle, and your comment about the ending brought back some really great memories. I know exactly what you are talking about, and every time I hear the gigue played, I sometimes expect to hear that ending.

Now when someone refers to Bach as an old fuddy-duddy in a powdered wig you can point them to this performance of the Gigue Fugue 😀

Two others have, in my opinion, equaled Ken's performance of this piece: Jeanne Demessieux and Ton Koopman. All good!

Just 'shimmers' along, as - perhaps - only a modern organ will allow.
