Karl Richter - Toccata And Fugue In D Minor BWV 565 download song

Best musical performance ever, of all that ive seen.

Came here for the music, I found God's fury

Best version ever I heard

The greatest execution of the tapped and escape!

I'm no organ player but from about 5:30 - 6:30, the the skills to play this masterpiece seem almost humanly impossible. I can't tell which hand is doing the melody...not to mention the foot work. The climax of intensity has to be around the 6:45 - 7:45 mark.

You know it's been a long time since I watched ROLLERBALL. Think I am going to go do that.

One can easily understand how this could be used to check for errors in pipe organs:-)

This organ has character to it, that's for sure!

This is as close to perfection of man, music and composer I have EVER heard.

Other versions I have listened to sound like listening to a carrot swirling around from the bottom of a bowl of soup. This version is crisp and sharp. Every note is an individual piece of music in a complex arrangement. Spectacular performance.

Sviatoslav the master of the piano and Karl the master of the organ. These Richters ruled the keyboard world!!

Best ever played, unmatched

WITHOUT A DOUBT, SIMPLY THE BEST TOCCATA & FUGUE MASTER IN THE WORLD! SOMETIMES I WONDER IF BACH HIMSELF COULD PLAY ALONG WITH MR. RICHTER... WHAT A TREAT THAT WOULD BE... HE SOUNDS JUST LIKE HIS LAST NAME... A FUGUE IN THE EARTHQUAKE RICHTER SCALE!!! NO CEREMONIOUS B.S. LIKE OTHER MUSICIANS THAT I'VE HEARD, JUST PURE SEBASTIAN BACH AT ITS BEST. BRAVISSIMO!!! J.S.BACH IS CONSIDERED TO BE THE MOST COMPLETE COMPOSER AND MUSICIAN OF ALL TIMES AND HERE IS WHY. ANYONE AGREE?
