      Me too - many versions I find too slow to be honest, and in terms of articulation - too much of this or not enough of that.. this one is perfect.

      he is the only grammy-awared organist afaik on the planet. He is head at the Julliard school in NYC. Check is Reger Fantasie and Fugue, by memory, registering himself on UA-cam, it's out of this world

      Paul Jacobs has been performing for at least the 16 years that I have known about him. I heard him perform in Pennsylvania (Bethlehem) and Florida ( Port Orange) in the same week. We need to hear a lot more from this remarkable musician.

    As one Bach biographer stated, in 1685 in the little town of Eisenach, there was born a musical genius. In about three minutes of music, Paul Jacobs demonstrates some of that genius and makes it clear to anyone with functioning hearing why JS Bach is *the apex master* of anything and everything to do with the art of counterpoint.

    I’m hooked on this interpretation or rendition. I’ve been playing it almost nonstop. It’s the best I’ve found so far. It was actually video game music that got me here. 😊 Bach’s music is quite the hit and a huge compositional inspiration in the gaming circle. A lot of games feature his pieces. “Little” Fugue is the final boss music in 𝘔𝘦𝘨𝘢 𝘔𝘢𝘯 𝘓𝘦𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘴. I had Paul’s performance aired on a weekly video game music show broadcast by a college radio station. I’m a huge fan of video game music, mainly because I’m a musician-a classically trained pianist who secretly wants to be an organist. 😁
