[@andreamundt]

Wie ich diese unvergleichliche Art, mit Leib und Seele zu musizieren, liebe!
In mir geht einfach das Licht an - und das Herz auf.
Danke für diesen erstaunlich schönen straubischen Bach!
Cool finde ich zu hören, wie der 32´ (?) im Schlussakkord Zeit braucht, seine eigentliche Tonhöhe zu finden!!

Genius...your playing is so clean, crisp. You give the notes a special clarity and diction. Ty

[@GerbenBudding]

Met overgave gespeeld, Gerben. Bedankt!

[@pietersimons-kwintencirkel]

Ik weet zeker dat Bach deze uitvoering prachtig gevonden zou hebben. De architectuur en de dramatiek komen optimaal tot hun recht. En wat een virtuositeit. Geweldige opname trouwens. Ik ga hem vaker beluisteren. Heerlijk!
