  • Grammy Award-winning organist Paul Jacobs performs Johann Sebastian Bach's "Little" Fugue in G minor, BWV 578 on the Hazel Wright Organ at Christ Cathedral, Garden Grove, CA. "Hazel" is the fifth largest organ in the world, with more than 17,000 pipes and nearly 300 ranks. It combines the 1962 Aeolian-Skinner instrument from Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York City with the 1977 Ruffatti organ originally built for the Garden Grove Community Church (later the Crystal Cathedral).
    Paul Jacobs is the first organist to receive a Grammy Award (for Olivier Messiaen's towering Livre du Saint-Sacrement) and is considered "America's leading organ performer." At age 23 he performed the complete organ works of J.S. Bach in an 18-hour non-stop marathon concert, and at age 26 was appointed chair of the Organ Department at The Juilliard School. Jacobs, known for a prodigious musical memory, has performed on five continents and in each of the 50 United States, and as a concerto soloist with many major orchestras. www.pauljacobs...

    I have not even heard of this organist, and this might unironically be my favorite interpretation of this piece, amazing.

      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.

      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.

    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. 😁

      I think you mean the stops. The organist can control it, and add more or remove some, to change the sound of the organ.

    I'm well familiar with the organ and all the hype as it (she) exists very close to my home.
    I get it, this instrument literally has all the bells and whistles!
    But it is nice to hear something familiar like this tune, instead of a strange cacophony.
